Study Summary

This trial looks at how using two types of exercises can help muscle strength and function.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals aged 18-30 who strength train their lower body 1-3 times weekly. It's not suitable for those with recent lower body surgery or injury, extreme heights outside of 54 to 76 inches, pregnant women, those doing intense workouts more than 4 days a week, or anyone with neuromuscular diseases.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study investigates how two sets of multi-joint eccentric overload maximal contractions can enhance muscle function. Participants will perform these exercises along with using a cycle ergometer to measure the effects on muscle potentiation.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include muscle soreness and fatigue due to high-intensity eccentric exercise. There might also be temporary discomfort from exertion during the use of the cycle ergometer.
