Abstract

Muddle, TWD, Magrini, MA, Colquhoun, RJ, Luera, MJ, Tomko, PM, and Jenkins, NDM. Impact of fatiguing, submaximal high- vs. low-torque isometric exercise on acute muscle swelling, and echo intensity in resistance-trained men. J Strength Cond Res 33(4): 1007-1019, 2019-To evaluate the effects of repeated, fatiguing isometric knee extension contractions performed at high-torque (HT) vs. low-torque (LT) maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) on acute muscle swelling, and echo intensity (EI) of the rectus femoris (RF) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscles in resistance-trained males. Twenty-two resistance-trained men performed either HT (70% MVIC) or LT (30% MVIC) isometric contractions to fatigue on separate days. Before and after exercise, muscle cross-sectional area (mCSA) and EI of the RF and VL were assessed through ultrasound. Muscle cross-sectional area and EI (collapsed across muscle) increased similarly after HT (mean ± 95% confidence interval: mCSAΔ: 3.52 ± 0.52 cm; EIΔ: 4.58 ± 1.65 au) and LT (mCSAΔ: 3.61 ± 0.59 cm; EIΔ: 3.30 ± 1.36 au) exercise. No relationships between mCSAΔ and time to task failure (TTF), normalized MVIC, or the tension-time integral were observed during either HT or LT exercise. During both condit...Continue Reading
