Influence of Velocity on Agonist and Antagonist Activation in Concentric Dorsiflexion Muscle Actions
Abstract
Five women and 5 men performed maximal isometric and concentric dorsiflexion actions on an isokinetic dynamometer. The concentric actions were done at 10 present velocities ranging from 0.26 to 5.23 rad.s-1. Electromyographic (EMG) recordings were made from one agonist (tibialis anterior (TAI) and two antagonists (soleus [S], lateral gastrocnemius [LG]). The men produced greater absolute torque than the women, but there was no gender difference …
