Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Paper Description
This study aimed to characterise the lower limb muscular coordination in rowing. A musculoskeletal model was developed to be used for movements exhibiting large joints range of motion. Maximum static muscle lengths computed from five static stretching tests were compared with muscle lengths extracted while rowing. Muscle lengths were derived from lower limb kinematics collected using a motion analysis system. Our results showed that classical stretching tests were suitable for a muscle group but must be more specific to target isolated muscle. During rowing trials, bi-articular muscle patterns were subject-dependant with hamstring lengths close to their maximum lengths. Asymmetries were observed for few muscles. Further studies are necessary to confirm these promising findings that may maximise rowing performance and minimise rowing injuries.
