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.

Detailed description

EMG and Myoton measurements will be performed on selected muscles of the shoulder joint and forearm during karting drivers' training, initially at the beginning, after the athletes perform their first 8-minute run, after manipulation and after another 8-minute run.
