Sponsor: Medical University of Gdansk
Summary
The aim of this study was to: (i) assess the impact of maximal muscle strength and stiffness on EMG and Myoton parameters for selected upper limb muscles; and (ii) assess how manipulation of the initial 2-s tension phase, in particular involving muscle stretching, affects these EMG and Myoton parameters during karting training.
