Abstract [en]

Aim

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 6-second maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of the plantar-flexors on subsequent ankle hops performed only by plantar flexing at the ankle.

Methods

10 physically active university students were recruited to volunteer in this study. All subjects were free from injury in the right ankle. The tests were performed in a single session, even though this study is a part of a bigger study that involved several visits to GIH. The 6-sec MVIC was performed in an isokinetic dynamometer and the ankle hops were performed in a custom built backwards tilted jumping sledge. Each subject performed two baseline jumps with one minute of rest between them. Right after the baseline, subjects performed the 6-sec MVIC followed by another two jumps at 30 seconds, 90 seconds, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 8 minutes and 15 minutes after MVIC.

Results

A significant difference was found for peak force at 30 seconds when compared to pre-test 1 (p= 0.020). No significant difference could be found between either pre-test 1 or pre-test 2 at any time frames for average rate of force development, Rate of force development between 0- 50 milliseconds, Rate of force development between 0-90 milliseconds, Time in the air and Time to take off .

Conclusion

A 6-sec MVIC of the plantar flexors did not improve isolated plantar flexor jump performance. While such conditioning contractions has previously been shown to temporarily potentiate the contractile properties of the plantar flexors as assessed by a single twitch, such effects may not be readily transferred to functional voluntary tasks.

Syftet

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka effekterna av en 6-sekunders maximal frivillig isometrisk vadmuskel-kontraktion (MVIC) på enbenshopp som endast utförs med vadmusklerna.

Metod

Tio fysiskt aktiva högskolestudenter deltog volontärt i studien. Försökspersonerna var friska och fria från skador i högra fotleden. Testerna utfördes under ett tillfälle men det är bra att veta att denna studie är en del av större undersökning som gjordes genom flera besök på GIH. Den 6-sek MVIC utfördes i en isokinetisk dynamometer och hoppet utfördes i en specialbyggd bakåtlutad hoppsläde. Varje individ utförde två baslinje-hopp med en minuts vila emellan dem. Direkt efter utförde försökspersonerna 6-sek MVIC följt av ytterligare två hopp som kom 30 sekunder, 90 sekunder, 3 minuter, 5 minuter, 8 minuter och 15 minuter efter MVIC.

Resultat

En signifikant skillnad hittades för maxkraft vid 30 sekunder i jämförelse med förprov 1 (p= 0,020). Ingen signifikant förändring sågs jämfört med vare sig förprov 1 eller förprov 2 vid någon tidpunkt för genomsnittlig nivå av kraftutveckling, Nivå av kraftutveckling mellan 0-50 millisekunder, Nivå av kraftutveckling mellan 0-90 millisekunder, Tiden i luften och Tid till foten lämnar underlaget.

Slutsats

Denna studie visar på att en 6-sek vadumuskel-MVIC förbättrar inte isolerad hoppförmåga i vaderna. Trots att denna typ av kontraktion har visat sig potentiera vadmusklernas kontraktila egenskaper när du undersöks via en enskild el-inducerad muskel-twitch så verkar inte detta nödvändigtvis överföras till en förbättrad prestation in en funktionell viljemässig uppgift.
