Nolte K, Gerharz A, Jaitner T, Knicker A, Alt T
J Sports Sci . 2024 Dec; 43(2):173-181. PMID: 39710880
The difficulties of rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, subsequent return-to-sport (RTS) let alone achieving pre-injury performance, are well known. Isokinetic testing is often used to assess strength capacities...

Heinke L, Javanmardi S, Rappelt L, Konrad A, Schleip R, Knicker A, et al.
Front Physiol . 2024 Oct; 15:1432009. PMID: 39376896
Introduction: Athletic training requires both challenging stimuli for adaptation and sufficient recovery for improved performance. While cold water immersion (CWI) is already a popular recovery method, handheld percussive massage (PM)...

Alt T, Nolte K, Horn D, Modenbach D, Jaitner T, Knicker A
Res Sports Med . 2023 Dec; 32(6):885-901. PMID: 38087642
Isokinetic knee tests mostly evaluate reciprocal concentric-concentric flexor-extensor movements in a seated position. Discrete tests generate higher moments, but time requirements impede their widespread implementation. This study examined if hip...

Alt T, Knicker A, Nodler Y, Struder H
J Sport Rehabil . 2023 Jun; 32(7):782-789. PMID: 37339771
Context: Different resistance exercise determinants modulate the musculotendinous adaptations following eccentric hamstring training. The Nordic Hamstring Exercise (NHE) can be performed 2-fold: the movement velocity irreversibly increases toward the end...

Alt T, Roos T, Nolte K, Modenbach D, Knicker A, Jaitner T
J Athl Train . 2022 Aug; 58(4):329-337. PMID: 35984720
Background: The Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE) is commonly implemented to selectively improve eccentric knee-flexor strength. However, the standard version of the exercise (leveled shanks, extended hip joint) is too strenuous...

Alt T, Nolte K, Horn D, Modenbach D, Knicker A, Jaitner T
Res Q Exerc Sport . 2022 Apr; 94(3):783-792. PMID: 35426761
Thigh muscle strength capacities are major modifiable risk factors for knee and thigh muscle injuries. Therefore, their valid assessment is essential. Most isokinetic knee tests are conducted in a seated...

Heinke L, Knicker A, Albracht K
J Electromyogr Kinesiol . 2021 Nov; 62:102611. PMID: 34800872
Until now the reproducibility of the short latency stretch reflex of the internal rotator muscles of the glenohumeral joint has not been identified. Twenty-three healthy male participants performed three sets...

Alt T, Breitenmoser T, Vonhoegen J, Horn D, Severin J, Nolte K, et al.
Res Sports Med . 2021 Jun; 30(1):1-18. PMID: 34187258
Isokinetic strength tests are frequently applied to assess anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rehabilitation processes. However, diverging methodologies cause misleading conclusions. This cross-sectional study evaluated the effects of gender (male vs....

Alt T, Knicker A, Nodler Y, Struder H
Sports Biomech . 2021 Mar; 23(7):831-845. PMID: 33726613
The Nordic Hamstring Exercise (NHE) effectively strengthens the knee flexors. Typically conducted without assistance, extended knee angles are not reached with sustained muscle activation in the presence of insufficient eccentric...

Alt T, Komnik I, Severin J, Nodler Y, Benker R, Knicker A, et al.
Int J Sports Physiol Perform . 2021 Jan; 16(7):974-984. PMID: 33440336
Purpose: Concentric hip and eccentric knee joint mechanics affect sprint performance. Although the biarticular hamstrings combine these capacities, empirical links between swing phase mechanics and corresponding isokinetic outcome parameters are...
