Research Unpacked: Dr Andras Hegyi - Region-dependent hamstrings activity in Nordic hamstring exercise & stiff-leg deadlift

Inform Performance

Episode 89: 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
