Filter by:The main objective of this study is to analyse the effect of KT on countermovement jump (CMJ) and sprint immediately and 24 hours after its application on the quadriceps and gluteus maximus.
This study is a cross-sectional trial which aims to evaluate the effect of practicing a physical activity on different domains of the ICF among individuals with an acquired physical disability. Two different groups of individuals with a spinal cord injury will be enrolled: one composed of subjects who manage to reach the WHO's recommendations regarding physical activity, and the other of subjects who do not.
In this study Investigator will determine the effects of blood flow restriction training on hand grip strength using hand held dynamometer among healthy young adults and investigator also see effects of blood flow restriction training on forearm circumference using weighted measuring tape among healthy young adults along with correlation of male and female population following blood flow restriction training among healthy young adults.
Haemophilia is often associated with chronic pain, functional restrictions and negative consequences regarding the individual physical performance, especially on basic motoric skills, activities of daily life and quality of life. Caused by high benefits, physical activity is a fixed component and recommendation in the guidelines for the management of haemophilia. Several studies showed that goal-directed physical activity is feasible for patients with haemophilia (PwH) without any complications or bleeding episodes. Nevertheless, there are difficulties in the implementation of supervised sports therapy for PwH regarding local distributions and uncertainties concerning correct exercise execution on patients´ side and in the monitoring and adequate training regulation from long distances on the therapeutic side. Aim of this project is a patient-related and participative development and pre-evaluation of a mobile application to generate an online-guided, individualized home training for PwH, followed by pre-evaluation in terms of a twelve weeks interventional phase. The intention of this project is to show, that a mobile device is an appropriate way to increase physical activity of PwH. Due to the development of an innovative trainings application, adapted to the needs of PwH, a larger number of patients should be reached and supported later on in participating on supervised physical exercise to improve the individual physical performance and therefore the quality of life. Additionally, with an individualized exercise program also adapted to the specific interests, needs and physical conditions, PwH at any age can be addressed. Furthermore, in cooperation with the patient, the medical staff will get systematic information of patients´ exercise activities to generate optimal factor and overall treatment patterns. In addition, on the basis of the mobile device PwH will be able to comprehend their individual exercise performance and to get an overview of the individual trainings progress and improvements of physical performance with the purpose to enhance the processes of self-motivation. Detailed instructions and information of exercise execution, need of exercise and physical adaptions to be achieved, will minimize complications and support patients´ self-confident for participating on exercise.
To evaluate the feasibility of a smartphone-based measurement on badminton footwork. The performance of footwork will be collected utilizing a smartphone app and further investigate the validity, reliability and discrimination of the measurement.
Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation is a relative new intervention applied by physical therapists. Although it has been hypothesized that this technique could improve pain and function, no studies have investigated changes in physical performance in soccer players. This study will evaluate changes in physical performance after the application of Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation in a sample of healthy soccer players.
BACKGROUND: In ice hockey, skating is a combination of speed, power, and balance. OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between previous injury history and on-ice and off-ice performance of elite male ice hockey players. METHODS: This study was designed as prospective cross-sectional study. Fifty elite men's ice hokey players included (n=50, mean age 23y 8mo, SD 5y 3mo). Off-ice performance measures were 30 m Sprint Test, Broad Jump Test, Push-up Test, Hexagon Agility Test, Plank Test. The 2 on-ice tests were 30m On-ice Sprint Test and Cornering "S" Turn Agility Test.The athletes' history of injury were including previous injury site, type, number and the mechanism of injury. RESULTS: In push up test, there was a significant difference in those who had left hand and right knee injuries and, athletes who had dislocation were found to be statistically significant (p <0.05). According to cornering s turn agility test results, athletes who had puck injury were found to be statistically significant (p <0.05). In 30m sprint and hexagon agility test results, athletes who had overuse injury were found to be statistically significant (p <0.05). There was a significant correlation between on-ice 30m sprint and cornering s turn agility tests with broad jump test and also with off-ice push-up and plank tests (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: As a result of the performance tests, push up test might be a distinctive test in determining the performance of the athletes after injury. Also on-ice tests had a correlation with off-ice plank test which is the indicator of core muscle strength.
flexible flatfoot is a common foot misalignment in children. various treatment procedures are used to correct or to avoid future complain among adults and pediatric population.
This study develops the effects of Capacitive and Resistive Energy Transfer Therapy (TECAR) on medial gastrocnemius using thermographic cameras, algometry and lunge tests, in a pre-post study with basketball players using a control group to which placebo is applied. (simulated technique) and an intervention group to which the technique is performed. The main objective of the study is to establish whether the TECAR produces physiological and mechanical changes in the subjects that improve muscle recovery.
This study aimed to determine the effect of smartphone addiction on physical activity level in healthy individuals. A total of 300 (134 female) healthy university students were included in this study. The mean age of the subjects was 21.36 ± 2.33 year.
