Research Unpacked

Dr Andras Hegyi, Part 2: Hamstring Research

listair McKenzie chats to Dr Andras Hegyi a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nantes, France. For part two Alistair and Andras continue discussing his hamstring muscle research. 
 
 
 
Part two topics discussed: 
 
 
Regional differences in a various of hamstring exercises typically used in rehab and strength and conditioning
Overall muscle activity vs between muscle activation vs within-muscle differences 
Perspectives on hamstring training for sprint performance and injury rehab - what are we trying to achieve?
The affect if velocity on muscle activity 
Clinical implications and from both studies and how they may influence decision making when prescribing exercises
Future research

Dr Andras Hegyi, Part-1: Region-Dependent Hamstrings Activity in Nordic Hamstring Exercise & Stiff-Leg Deadlift

For this first Research Unpacked style episode Alistair McKenzie chats to Dr Andras Hegyi a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nantes, France. For part one Alistair and Andras discussed his work on region-dependent hamstrings activity in Nordic hamstring exercise and stiff-leg deadlift
 
 
Part one topics discussed: 
 
Regional distribution of muscle activity of the hamstrings in the Nordic Hamstring Exercise and Stiff-leg deadlift
Methods of assessing muscle activity during different exercises 
Normalsation techniques in EMG studies and how to interpret methods
Limitations and future research
