Clip from: Monitoring Quadriceps vs. Hamstrings Ratio and Muscle Relaxation Level with Mbody
In the previous article, How Myontec's Mbody Monitors Muscle Asymmetries
for Injury Prevention and in Rehabilitation, we discussed the theory behind
Problem detection traffic light system and what information can be
brought up with it. This time we wanted to discuss more about how this
feature can be implemented in real-life training and what benefits does it
bring to the user. This article focuses on Running and Cycling.
Q/H ratio in running
Q/H activation ratio decreases during running speed meaning that when running
intensity increases from low speed jogging to maximal sprinting, relatively more and
more work comes from hamstring muscles (Camic et al. 2015).
Q/H ratio in cycling
During cycling the Q/H ratio is closer to 50/50 % or quadriceps
typically dominate hamstrings with few percentages.
