Dr Andras Hegyi, Part-1: Region-Dependent Hamstrings Activity in Nordic Hamstring Exercise & Stiff-Leg Deadlift

20 minutes

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
