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
