Abstract:Muscle injuries are the most common sports injuries, and it is often observed in eccentric contraction. There are many factors that could influence the severity of muscle injuries, including strain and strain rate. This study evaluated the interaction of these two factors on the biomechanical properties of the muscle-tendon bundle and their role in injuries. A Hopkinson bar system, an MTS machine and an electrical pulse generator were utilized to collect eccentric contraction response data of over 150 frog mus… Show more
