Effects of Unilateral Leg Training Using Elastic and Inelastic Barbells on Dynamic Balance and Muscle Activation: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Elastic barbells generate continuous, unpredictable perturbations through elastic deformation of the bar, delivering a top-down instability stimulus that transfers from the upper to the lower limbs. Whether repeated exposure produces training-related changes in muscle activation, and whether any postural co...
