Seeking healthy, resistance-trained men and women aged 18-40 years to study the effects of training load on regional muscle activity.
Participants will partake in 4 (1 hr each) visits to the UConn Sports Optimization & Rehabilitation Lab. Visit 1 will be used to determine participant 1-RM for the back squat exercise. During visitis 2-4, participants will perform the back squat exercise with varying loads, while regional muscle activity is measured using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy.
This research study was approved by the UConn IRB, Protocol #H23-0471
