Filter by:Participants will complete a functional MRI to evaluate brain activation, functional connectivity, and behavioral performance immediately before and after a training program (approximately 30 minutes). The training program will comprise of integrate neuromuscular (agility, dynamic postural stability, shuffling, rapid acceleration/deceleration, plyometrics, lateral shuffle, and core stability) and cognitive (reaction time, processing speed, task switching, decision-making, and working memory) challenges.
the study aims to assess the efficacy of two interventions, namely the muscle energy technique and the hamstring Nordic lower exercise, in addressing hamstring tightness among young athletes in Pakistan.
This study will compare patient reported outcomes (PROs) and patient satisfaction scores of patients seen at virtual phone visits with patients seen at in-person visits for post-operative follow up at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6 months at a sports medicine clinic. This study will determine if there is a difference in PROs and satisfaction scores between these two groups of patients. The investigators hypothesize patients who are seen during a virtual phone visit will report different PRO and patient satisfaction scores compared to patients who are seen during an in-person visit for post-operative follow-up at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6-months.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of a foam roller warm-up on sports performance in professional basketball players.
This study was conducted to demonstrate the correlation between the functional movement screen and the isokinetic muscle strength with objective data. Investigators conclude that the use of FMS in combination with isokinetic systems will provide more detailed information on the prevention of injuries to sports and the improvement of performance.
''This study aims to determine the relationship between functional movement screen (FMS), core stabilization and Y balance test. The study will include evaluations on 30 handball players and 30 sedentary individuals.'' Functional movement analysis is a biomechanical screening and evaluation system to identify limitations and asymmetries in 7 basic movements. This system reveals the kinetic chain interaction between mobility and stability required for basic performance. Unlike conventional assessment methods, FHA focuses on the efficiency and quality of the movement pattern, not on the number of repetitions or weight lifted. The main aim of the study was to reveal the relationship between functional movement screen and core endurance and Y balance test evaluations in handball players with objective data. Functional movement is the general name of the activities performed by individuals for function and the movements performed by individuals for function are examined with analysis methods. In an effective analysis, if people do not have appropriate stability and mobility, it is determined from which muscle-muscle group or joint the problem originates. Analyses play a role in determining which of the stabilization, mobilization and flexibility factors are problematic at which stage of the function. In addition, these methods are effective in preventing possible injuries while helping to improve balance, strength and power characteristics of individuals. Core stabilization problems cause significant posture and stabilization problems. These problems are reflected in functional movements. Core stabilization problems are thought to have negative effects on functional movement analysis scores. Active athletes with this problem will be more affected. This study also aimed to observe the differences between athletes and sedentary individuals. Studies defined the core as the part of the body in the musculoskeletal system consisting of the proximal lower extremities, abdominal structures, hips, pelvis and spine and stated that the core muscles are composed of the trunk and pelvis muscles. It is argued that trunk and pelvis stabilization is essential for all movements of the extremities. The transversus abdominis and multifidus work in cocontraction and control excessive anterior pelvic tilt, which is known to be associated with femoral internal rotation and adduction. The musculature of the core is referred to as the muscular corset over the trunk and spine that stabilizes the body with or without limb movement. The strength and stabilization of the core affects the fitness and physical fitness of athletes. Core exercises should be included in exercise programs planned to improve athletic performance. Core endurance tests have been defined to reveal the relationship between core stabilization and performance. Lateral bridge test and trunk flexor test are the preferred core endurance tests in this study. The Y balance test is a dynamic test that requires strength, flexibility, core control and proprioception in a single-legged stance. Functional movement analysis, core stabilization tests and Y balance test are assessment scales that provide objective data on stabilization, postural alignment and spinal alignment. It is envisaged that these three assessment parameters will support each other after the study. Functional movements are widely used during both daily and sports activities. Core stabilization and dynamic balance are the factors that determine the quality of functional movements. These movements become more important for athletes as they affect their sporting success. Athletes need a good evaluation to ensure and maintain success. Since handball is defined as a sport that requires a lot of effort, the risks increase and it becomes clear that the evaluation should be done with a holistic approach.Injuries in handball develop due to multifactors.Biomechanical, kinesthetic and functional losses in players should be determined to prevent injuries.Functional movement analysis, core stabilization, Y balance test will give us detailed information about posture, limb alignment and asymmetry, spinal smoothness, dynamic balance and will give us the chance to analyze whether there is a correlation between these tests.
Physiotherapy protocols based on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or eccentric hamstring exercises like Nordic Curl (NC) have been scarcely studied in futsal players. The hypothesis of this study is that a HIIT combined with an NC exercise program is more effective than a HIIT-only program in improving physical and functional characteristics in futsal players.
The study will be a randomized clinical trial. Data was collected from the Pakistan sports board. All 44 Participants were randomly allotted into 2 groups via lottery method, with 22 participants in each group. 10 participants from cricket and volleyball each, 8 from wrestling, athletes, and football each. Participant informed consent was taken priory, and all information was given to them regarding their enrolment in the study. And taken them in confidence that their data was kept confidential and this study does not harm their health. Group A participants received the Myofascial release technique while group B received the dynamic stretching technique. Data were collected pre and post. The session was last for 3 weeks, and each week had 5 sessions. Statistical package for the social sciences will be used to analyze the results by using parametric test after confirming normality of data.
The aim of this comparative study is to determine whether or not LOSARTAN with its anti-fibrotic action has an added effect when administrated with platelet rich plasma injection on skeletal muscle healing and on decreasing the fibrous scar after muscle injuries in comparison with the sole administration of platelet rich plasma.
Weightlifting is an increasingly used intervention in the sport field to improve both function and performance outcomes. However, the effects in a pediatric and adolescent population are not well described, and require further research to elucidate the benefits and potential adverse effects compared to other strength training methods, such as plyometric training.
