Miyaguchi, K and Demura, S. Gender difference in ability using the stretch-shortening cycle in the upper extremities. J Strength Cond Res 23(1): 231-236, 2009-A gender difference in ability using the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC ability) in the upper extremities has not been studied in detail. This study aimed to devise an index to evaluate SSC ability during powerful elbow flexion and to examine its gender differences. Thirty-three men athletes (19.9 ± 1.0 years) and 21 women athletes (20.6…

Differences in elbow extensor muscle characteristics between resistance-trained men and women
TLDR
Sex differences in isometric elbow extensors isometric strength are eliminated when expressed relative to muscle volume, with muscle size having the largest correlations.
Sex-related differences in plantarflexor function during repeated stretch-shortening cycle loading
TLDR
Results show females have lower force, rate of force production and force absorption capabilities, which are of relevance in injury prevention and rehabilitation, and informing personalised engineering design.
Relationship Between Jump Rope Double Unders and Sprint Performance in Elementary Schoolchildren
TLDR
Classic jump rope training, such as double unders, should be effective as elementary plyometrics for improving the sprint ability of children.
The Relationship Between Muscle Action and Repetition Maximum on the Squat and Bench Press in Men and Women
TLDR
While no sex-specific differences were observed in the squat, women performed significantly more repetitions on the ECC and CON muscle actions of the bench press, however, men performed more combined repetitions, indicating a greater reliance on the stretch-shortening cycle.
ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT PREVENTION: EFFECT OF NEUROMUSCULAR TRAINING COMPLIANCE ON MUSCULAR STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT
TLDR
The results of these studies indicate neuromuscular training is an effective intervention to reduce ACL injury incidence in female athletes, and there is an inverse dose-response relationship between compliance of the neuromUScular training and number of ACL incidences inFemale athletes.

    Return to Sport after ACL Reconstruction and Other Knee Operations
  • 2019
TLDR
The ability of the clinician to return the athlete back quickly and safely is multifactorial and includes advances in surgical techniques and rehabilitation, such as the use of integrated open and closed kinetic chain exercises, proprioceptive training, neuromuscular reactive dynamic stability exercises, and plyometrics.
Prevention of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injury
Along with the increase in number of female athletic participants, the number of resultant athletic injuries among female athletes has also rapidly increased. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury…
CURRENT CONCEPTS OF PLYOMETRIC EXERCISE.
TLDR
The purpose of this clinical commentary is to provide an overview of plyometrics including: definition, phases, the physiological, mechanical and neurophysiological basis, and to describe clinical guidelines and contraindications for implementing plyometric programs.
Strength and Power Qualities Are Highly Associated With Punching Impact in Elite Amateur Boxers
TLDR
This study investigated the relationship between punching impact and selected strength and power variables in 15 amateur boxers from the Brazilian National Team and provides important information for coaches to specifically design better training strategies to improve punching impact.
Assessment of plantarflexor function during a stretch-shortening cycle task
TLDR

Relationships Between Muscle Power Output Using the Stretch-Shortening Cycle and Eccentric Maximum Strength
TLDR
It was suggested that eccentric maximum strength is associated with peak power in the SSC condition, but the contribution of the eccentricmaximum strength to the S SC potentiation (initial power) may be low.
Muscle power output properties using the stretch-shortening cycle of the upper limb and their relationships with a one-repetition maximum bench press.
TLDR
The use of SSC before powerful elbow flexion may contribute largely to early explosive power output during concentric contraction, and bench press capacity relates to a development of the above early power output when using SSC.
Contraction-specific differences in maximal muscle power during stretch-shortening cycle movements in elderly males and females
TLDR
The comparable eccentric force generation of the leg extensors in both genders suggests a similar ability to cope with eccentric muscle actions during everyday activities, which may result in an impaired performance in elderly women.
Influence of load and stretch shortening cycle on the kinematics, kinetics and muscle activation that occurs during explosive upper-body movements
TLDR
Investigation of the influence of load and the stretch shortening cycle (SSC) on the kinematics, kinetics, and muscle activation that occurs during maximal effort throws found explosive movements involving longer concentric actions than experienced during brief SSC movements may be limited by the ability of the muscle to produce force during fast contraction velocities.
The validity and reliability of a test of lower body musculotendinous stiffness
TLDR
It was concluded that the assessment of stiffness of the lower body using the oscillation technique is a valid and reliable in vivo measure of musculotendinous stiffness.
Utilization of stored elastic energy in leg extensor muscles by men and women.
TLDR
The results suggest that although the leg extensor muscles of the men subjects could sustain much higher stretch loads, the females may be able to utilize a greater portion of the stored elastic energy in jumping activities.
The characteristics of simple muscle power by gripping: gender differences and reliability of parameters using various loads.
TLDR
A gender difference was found in the maximal power and the properties of the power curve and the new device used in this study to evaluate local regional muscle power (grip) is a very reliable and useful tool.

  • 2004
TLDR
The utilization of prestretch was better for female subjects at low prestretch levels, whereas males showed greater potentiation of elastic energy at higher prest stretch levels, and absolute Wel (work due to elasticity) values, male subjects showed greater values than females.
Musculotendinous Factors Influencing Difference in Ankle Joint Flexibility between Women and Men
TLDR
It was concluded that gender difference in the joint ROM at the ankle reflects more compliant Achilles tendon in women than in men.
Time course for strength and muscle thickness changes following upper and lower body resistance training in men and women
TLDR
It is suggested that increases in MTH in the upper body are greater and occur earlier compared to the lower extremity, during the first 12 weeks of a total body WT programme.
