Regional Differences in Biceps Femoris Long Head Stiffness during Isometric Knee Flexion

Regional Differences in Biceps Femoris Long Head Stiffness during Isometric Knee Flexion

This study sought to investigate whether the stiffness of the biceps femoris long head differs between proximal and distal regions during isometric knee flexion at different contraction intensities and muscle lengths. Twelve healthy individuals performed knee flexion isometric contractions at 20% an...
