Filter by:Investigators specific aims are to compare the effects of consuming daily snacks of raw, shelled, unsalted almonds (2.0 ounces) versus an isocaloric amount of another commonly consumed snack food (pretzels) on energy (vigor) perception and physical activity, exercise performance (VO2max and measures of strength), strength and power performance as well as muscle soreness recovery after strenuous eccentrically-biased exercise.
In the present study, investigators investigated whether supplementation with lemon verbena extract (LVE) could improve muscle damage and biochemical indicators after exhaustive exercise challenge. Based on maximum jump heights, 60 subjects (30 males and 30 females) were equally divided into a placebo group (0 mg/human/day) and an LVE supplement group (400 mg/human/day), with gender-equal distribution. All subjects started supplementation 10 days before exhaustive exercise and continued it until all tests were completed. Before the intervention, after the exhaustive exercise, and on the following 3 days, the participants underwent 12-minute Cooper running/walking; blood collection; assessments of pain, muscle stiffness, maximum jump heights, and isometric maximum muscle strength; and anaerobic strength tests.
Background: Both health professionals and consumers use menthol-based topical analgesics extensively for the temporary relief of pain from musculoskeletal ailments or injury. However, there are no reports of differences in the pain pressure threshold (PPT) or the relative effectiveness of topical analgesics to reduce pain in the upper and lower body muscles and tendons. Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate whether differences existed in PPT and relative pain attenuation associated with a menthol based topical analgesic over a variety of upper and lower body muscles and tendons. Design: Randomized allocation, controlled, intervention study. Method: Sixteen participants (10 females and 6 males), who were tested on their dominant or non-dominant side. The order of specific muscle / tendon testing was also randomized, which included upper body (middle deltoid, biceps brachii, and lateral epicondylar tendon) and lower body locations (quadriceps, hamstrings, gastrocnemius, lumbo-sacral erector spinae muscles, and patellar and Achilles tendons). PPT was monitored before and 15-minutes following the application of a menthol based topical analgesic.
To determine changes in Vitals caused by Intermittent Occlusion ( 220 mg ) and to compare the effectiveness of Intermittent Occlusion and Static Stretching of the lower limb muscle group in preventing the development of exercise induce Muscle Soreness
This study investigated the effects of CarnipureTM, a high-quality L-carnitine ingredient, on long term (5 weeks) recovery, muscle damage, and SOD status in a population of males and females while training two days per week. The primary outcomes defining recovery were changes in serum creatine kinase levels and perceptual changes in recovery. Supporting variables included an assessment of strength and power as a functional indicator of recovery. This study would be the first to examine the effects of CarnipureTM on long-term recovery. Our primary hypothesis was that L-carnitine supplementation would reduce muscle damage and improve perceptual measures of recovery. Our secondary hypotheses were that L-carnitine supplementation would better sustain strength and power and elevate SOD status.
To determine if modalities designed to improve blood flow combined with post-exercise nutrient intake will improve replenishment of muscle glycogen better than nutrient intake alone. A secondary objective is to compare the effectiveness of heat therapy and intermittent pneumatic compression on glycogen replenishment.
The aim of the present research is to define the effects of short manual treatment of soft tissues compared to mechanisms explaining in Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) among sport climbers and to address the mechanisms of peripheral and central sensitization involved in DOMS phenomena.
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is associated with the initiation of a new physical activity or a sudden increase in exercise volume and intensity. DOMS also occurs following eccentric exercises such as ballistic stretching, downhill running, weight training and plyometrics. DOMS might prevent performing sports and decreases the performance of professional or recreational athletes. Recently, different soft tissue mobilization applications (massage, foam roller) have been preferred by many athletes to prevent DOMS. However, there is no study comparing the effects of these techniques on DOMS. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of different soft tissue mobilization practices on DOMS and sportive performance in recreational athletes. In order to achieve this goal, a total of 36 recreational athletes will be included and will be allocated to three groups as foam roller group (n=12), massage group (n=12) and control group (n=12). Demographic data, thermal camera measurements, fatigue level assessments, and performance measurements will be performed. All measurements will be carried out four times as before the application, immediately after the application, after 24 hours and after 48 hours.
This is a randomised sham-controlled trial involving healthy volunteers to determine the effect of information on placebo, i.e., sham acupuncture, given in the informed consent, on the trial outcomes and blinding status of participants in a trial.
The study will assess the recovery and performance of young athletes suffering from muscle damage induced by physical exercise. Model by comparing the safety and efficacy of ReWin(d) supplemention during 4 weeks to placebo over 72 hours post exercice.
