Explosive force and fractionated reaction time in elderly low- and high-active womenDain P LaRoche
Department of Environmental and Health Sciences, Johnson State College, Johnson, VT, USA
Med Sci Sports Exerc 39:1659-65. 2007..The purpose of this study was to determine whether muscle power, activation time, and neuromuscular stimulation are related to physical activity patterns in older women...
Strength asymmetry increases gait asymmetry and variability in older womenDain P LaRoche
Department of Kinesiology, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824, USA
Med Sci Sports Exerc 44:2172-81. 2012..The aim of the research was to determine how knee extensor strength asymmetry influences gait asymmetry and variability because these gait parameters have been related to mobility and falls in older adults...
Fat mass limits lower-extremity relative strength and maximal walking performance in older womenDain P LaRoche
Department of Kinesiology, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824, USA
J Electromyogr Kinesiol 21:754-61. 2011..05). Overweight, older women demonstrated altered gait and reduced walking performance related to poor relative strength and rate of torque development of lower-extremity muscles...
Low strength is related to diminished ground reaction forces and walking performance in older womenDain P LaRoche
Department of Kinesiology, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH, USA
Gait Posture 33:668-72. 2011..42-0.60, P<0.05). In older women with low strength, diminished peak vGRFs were associated with slower walking speeds putting them at risk for mobility limitation, disability, poor health, and loss of independence...
Grade influences blood lactate kinetics during cross-country skiingDain P LaRoche
Department of Kinesiology, University of New Hampshire, Durham, New Hampshire 03824, USA
J Strength Cond Res 24:120-7. 2010..The leftward shift in the B(La) vs. intensity curve during uphill skiing should be recognized to properly prescribe training intensity as well as interpret laboratory results...
Rapid torque development in older female fallers and nonfallers: a comparison across lower-extremity musclesDain P LaRoche
Department of Kinesiology, University of New Hampshire, 124 Main Street, Durham, NH 03824, USA
J Electromyogr Kinesiol 20:482-8. 2010....
Elderly women have blunted response to resistance training despite reduced antagonist coactivationDain P LaRoche
Department of Kinesiology, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH, USA
Med Sci Sports Exerc 40:1660-8. 2008....
Chronic stretching and voluntary muscle forceDain P LaRoche
Department of Kinesiology, University of New Hampshire, Durham, New Hampshire, USA
J Strength Cond Res 22:589-96. 2008..Before exercise that requires high muscular forces, individuals may perform dynamic, sport-specific exercises to increase blood flow, metabolic activity, temperature, and compliance of the muscle...
Defining intensity domains from the end power of a 3-min all-out cycling testJames T Francis
Robert Kertzer Exercise Physiology Laboratory, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH, USA
Med Sci Sports Exerc 42:1769-75. 2010....
Effects of stretching on passive muscle tension and response to eccentric exerciseDain P LaRoche
Department of Environmental and Health Sciences, Johnson State College, 337 College Hill, Johnson, VT 05656, USA
Am J Sports Med 34:1000-7. 2006..Stretching is used in an attempt to improve performance and reduce the risk of muscle injury, with little evidence to support its effectiveness...
