Abstract:Background: Strength and conditioning experts widely recognize the dynamic strength index (DSI) as a tool for assessing an athlete’s ability to utilize strength in dynamic actions. The DSI is calculated as the ratio of peak force in dynamic actions versus isometric ones. To date, the influence of fatigue on the DSI is still not fully understood. This study aimed to explore the effects of both dynamic and isometric fatigue tasks on the DSI. Methods: A total of 24 physically active participants underwent fatigue… Show more
