Filter by:There are a limited number of studies in the literature, and it is stated that mental fatigue caused by social media use causes a decrease in upper-extremity movement speed and a decrease in lower-extremity endurance performance. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effects of social media-induced mental fatigue on upper extremity performance.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of progressive resistance training on physical state energy and fatigue during pregnancy. This study was a randomized controlled trial used to find the effects of progressive resistance training on physical state energy and fatigue during pregnancy. The data was collected from Sheikh Zaid Hospital via Visual analogue scale-fatigue, Numeric pain rating scale and Short form health survey-36. Sample size of 30 females was taken in 15 each group.
The goal of this clinical study is to investigate the effect of fatigue on balance, core endurance and player performance in adolescent football players. the main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the effect of fatigue on balance, core endurance and player performance in adolescent football players? 2. What is the effect of balance on player performance in adolescent football players? participants will be 60 male age from 16 to 18 years selected from Wadi-Degla football club randomly assigned into either fatigue or control group, Each player assessed for core endurance, balance and performance then fatigue protocol applied for the fatigue group and shame protocol for the control group and the repeat all measurements.
During a submaximal task, gradual muscle fatigue occurs, which inevitably results in a decline in performance (mechanical failure). Elite athletes are known to employ unconscious compensatory strategies during fatiguing submaximal tasks in an attempt to delay the onset of mechanical failure as long as possible. The purpose of this study was to gain valuable insight into the strategies used by elite swimmers to cope with mechanical failure. Twenty-two swimmers were subjected to a swim test consisting of swimming as long as possible at a predetermined and controlled pace. A light strip positioned at the bottom of the pool allows athletes to get feedback on which gait to keep. The kinematics (stroke rate, stroke length, and efficiency index) and electrical activity of 10 muscle groups were analyzed and compared at the beginning of the test (non-fatiguing conditions), just before the athlete lost the ability to maintain the predetermined pace (pre-mechanical failure), and after the athlete lost the ability to maintain the pace (mechanical failure). It is hypothesized that as fatigue becomes more pronounced and the point of inability to maintain a predetermined speed is approached, increased EMG activity will occur in key muscles while other muscle groups may show more obvious signs of fatigue. In addition, changes in the rhythm and coordination of upper limb movements may occur.
Fatigue and impaired balance frequently affect patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This is an open, prospective randomised crossover trial aimed at clarifying whether an improvement in balance control after balance training would also improve fatigue in patients with MS. Balance training will be compared to aerobic training, which is known to be effective on fatigue.
Caffeine is one of the few supplements that have enough scientific evidence to state that can notably improve performance, as different remarkable organizations in the sports nutrition context have classified it as an ergogenic aid with strong evidence regarding its efficacy and that is apparently safe. The beneficial effect of this substance on physical and cognitive performance has been identified in aerobic and anaerobic efforts, including aerobic and muscular endurance, power, or strength. However, it seems that the benefits of caffeine are usually measured only by its effect on performance, while a comprehensive analysis of its impact on other aspects of the movement technique of the exercise is not considered. Therefore, although caffeine generates better performance, a null or negative effect may occur on technique execution. As such, some consequences might arise (e.g., an increase in injury risk or a decrease in energy efficiency). The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the influence of caffeine on certain biomechanical parameters of the technique of physical exercises in circumstances without fatigue and under neuromuscular fatigue. The study hypothesis is that caffeine generates modifications in the technical execution of certain movements in fatigued and unfatigued circumstances due to its physiological effects, which may be beneficial for performance and injury prevention. The participants will have to attend 5 sessions (enrollment, familiarization, control, placebo, and caffeine), at least 7 days apart. In the last 3 sessions, different measurements will be done to their technique while jumping, squatting, and running, without fatigue and with it. Other data will be collected throughout the study to contextualize and analyze in more detail the obtained information.
Hemodialysis is a necessary treatment to prolong the lives of patients with end-stage kidney disease. However, long-term dialysis can lead to fatigue and decreased sleep quality. Acupoint stimulation can regulate meridians and improve physical function. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of low-level laser stimulation on fatigue and sleep quality in hemodialysis patients remains unclear. This study is designed to use low-level laser stimulation as an intervention measure to evaluate its effectiveness in improving fatigue and sleep quality in hemodialysis patients.
In healthy individuals, fatigue in the foot muscles increases the load and stress on the feet. The extrinsic muscles of the foot, which investigators aimed to create fatigue in this study, are closely related anatomically and functionally to the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon. Considering that fatigue or weakness of the foot extrinsic muscles is an important risk factor for foot-ankle pathologies, it is important to reveal the relationship with the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon in healthy sedentary individuals and to determine mechanical properties of the feet of the participants to prevent possible foot injuries. Therefore, the aim of this study is to show the acute effects of fatigue in the extrinsic muscles of the foot on the viscoelastic properties of the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon. The study was completed with 19 people who met the inclusion criteria. Before starting the study, the dominant foot of the participants was determined, physical activity level was determined, foot posture index and foot posture were evaluated, navicular height and fall distance of the foot were measured, m.gastrocnemius shortness was measured with the Silfverskiöld test, flexibility was evaluated with a baseline sitting bench, tendon and fascia measurements were made with the MyotonPRO device. After the measurements, the participant was trained to perform the heel raise exercise. When the exercise was completed, the participant's foot Myoton measurements were repeated. One week later, pre-exercise Myoton measurement was performed, then the participant was trained for the foot adduction exercise. When the exercise was completed, the participant's foot Myotone measurements were repeated. In another week, pre-exercise Myotone measurement was performed, then heel raising and foot adduction exercises were performed sequentially. When the exercise was completed, the participant's foot Myoton measurements were repeated.
This is a virtual, single-arm clinical trial that will last 30 days. Participants will drink 1 bottle of the Vitamin Energy® shot daily and complete questionnaires at baseline, Day 7, Day 14, and Day 30. Participants' energy, mood, and cognitive function will be evaluated at baseline and at each check-in. Bodyweight will also be assessed at baseline and Day 30. Likert scale responses will be examined from baseline to each check-in. Participant responses on product feedback will be presented as % scores.
The goal of this randomized controlled double-blind parallel-group interventional trial is to evaluate the effects of of dietary supplementation with a pre-probiotic on patient- and clinician-reported outcomes, and brain tissue metabolism in patients with post-covid fatigue syndrome.
