Medical School Building, The University of Warwick, Gibbet Hill Campus, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK
Man Ther 13:159-64. 2008..While the use of a closed kinetic chain leg press technique provides a reliable measurement of lower limb strength, EMG power spectrum decrease during an isometric contraction is of little value...
