J Strength Cond Res 16:209-18. 2002..In conclusion, whereas 5RM did not produce greater muscle inactivation, twitch contractile properties were affected to a greater degree by a higher number of RM... - Comparison of interpolation and central activation ratios as measures of muscle inactivationD Behm
School of Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St John s, Newfoundland A1C 5S7, Canada
Muscle Nerve 24:925-34. 2001..Thus, tetanic stimulation superimposed upon single maximal or multiple contractions seems to provide the most valid measure of muscle inactivation when using the interpolated-twitch technique... - The effect of muscle damage on strength and fatigue deficitsD G Behm

Muscle Nerve 25:236-43. 2002..0%), PF (5.0%), and DF (1.3%). Although the higher RFD may suggest a higher percentage of type II fibers in the quadriceps, their higher threshold of recruitment leads to greater difficulty in fully activating the quadriceps... - Factors affecting force loss with prolonged stretchingD G Behm
School of Physical Education, Recreation, and Athletics, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Newfoundland A1C 5S7, Canada
Can J Appl Physiol 26:261-72. 2001..Although possible increases in muscle compliance affected twitch force, a lack of tetanic force change would suggest that post-stretch force decrements are more affected by muscle inactivation than changes in muscle elasticity... - Effects of 22 degrees C muscle temperature on voluntary and evoked muscle properties during and after high-intensity exerciseEric J Drinkwater
School of Human Movement Studies, Panorama Ave, Charles Sturt University, Bathurst, NSW 2795, Australia
Appl Physiol Nutr Metab 32:1043-51. 2007..Furthermore, evoked contractile properties were generally higher 1 min after hypothermic fatigue. We conclude that the hypothermic condition slows the recovery of potentiated evoked contractile properties back to baseline values... - Relationship between hockey skating speed and selected performance measuresDavid G Behm
School of Human Kinetics and Recreation, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St John s, Newfoundland, Canada
J Strength Cond Res 19:326-31. 2005..e., low amplitude plyometrics) may not be an important factor. Electromyographic activities illustrated the very high activation levels associated with maximum skating speed... - Trunk muscle activity increases with unstable squat movementsKenneth Anderson
School of Human Kinetics and Recreation, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Newfoundland, A1C 5S7
Can J Appl Physiol 30:33-45. 2005..Performing squats on unstable surfaces may permit a training adaptation of the trunk muscles responsible for supporting the spinal column (i.e., erector spinae) as well as the muscles most responsible for maintaining posture (i.e., SOL)... - Trunk muscle electromyographic activity with unstable and unilateral exercisesDavid G Behm
School of Human Kinetics and Recreation, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St John s, Newfoundland, Canada
J Strength Cond Res 19:193-201. 2005..Furthermore, trunk strengthening can also occur when performing resistance exercises for the limbs, if the exercises are performed unilaterally... - Maintenance of EMG activity and loss of force output with instabilityKenneth G Anderson
School of Human Kinetics and Recreation, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Canada
J Strength Cond Res 18:637-40. 2004..The diminished force output suggests that the overload stresses required for strength training necessitate the inclusion of resistance training on stable surfaces... - Conflicting effects of fatigue and potentiation on voluntary forceDavid G Behm
School of Human Kinetics and Recreation, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St John s, Newfoundland, Canada
J Strength Cond Res 18:365-72. 2004..Results suggest that voluntary and evoked contractions respond differently to prior 10-second MVCs. In the present study, a warm-up routine of 1-3 MVCs of a 10-second duration did not enhance subsequent voluntary performance... - Muscle activation is enhanced with multi- and uni-articular bilateral versus unilateral contractionsDavid G Behm
School of Human Kinetics and Recreation, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Newfoundland
Can J Appl Physiol 28:38-52. 2003..Greater levels of activation may be necessary to cope with the stabilization necessary for bilateral and multi-articular contractions... - Force maintenance with submaximal fatiguing contractionsDavid G Behm
School of Human Kinetics and Recreation, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. Johns, Newfoundland
Can J Appl Physiol 29:274-90. 2004..While there may be some evidence of intrinsic motoneuronal fatigue, inhibitory afferent influences from chemical, tensile, pressure, and other factors play an important role in the competing influences on force output... - The role of instability with resistance trainingDavid G Behm
