Filter by:The objective of the study is to examine the reliability of the Upper Limb Rotation Test in adolescent male basketball players aged between 14 and 16. According to the sample size calculation for the study, 51 athletes were included. The Upper Limb Rotation Test was administered to the athletes twice, with a one-week interval. The athlete was positioned in a plank stance with shoulder, elbow lateral epicondyle, greater trochanter, and ankle lateral malleolus making contact with the wall. The athletes were instructed to perform a 90° abduction and 90° external rotation of the shoulder, accompanied by trunk rotation for a duration of 15 seconds. The number of repetitions was recorded. The tested side was the upper extremity in which the closed kinetic chain position was maintained. The test was repeated three times, and the average of the results was calculated. The Upper Extremity Rotation Test is a reliable assessment tool for evaluating performance in adolescent basketball players aged 14-16, particularly in relation to shooting skills.
Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common, chronic joint pathology that causes participants to suffer from pain, dysfunction, and reduced quality of life. The goal is to improve the quality of life and rehabilitation of patients by making rehabilitation exercises electronic and the system can be personalized to their specific conditions. The focus of this study was on exercise interventions, and an interactive software was designed that combines repetitive motion and real-time feedback mechanisms. The software provides a series of rehabilitation movements that are specific to the characteristics of osteoarthritis of the knee in older adults, aiming to help participants gradually improve joint range of motion and muscle strength through exercise. The real-time feedback mechanism, on the other hand, monitors the participants' exercise status in real time through wearable devices, providing intuitive feedback to the participants to ensure that they perform the rehabilitation movements correctly, thus ensuring the scientificity and safety of the exercise. In this study, investigators designed an exercise assessment and exercise intervention system for patients with knee osteoarthritis. In the exercise assessment part, the study combines several tools. First, the WOMAC scale was used to systematically assess patients' joint pain, stiffness, and dyskinesia. Second, physical function tests are used to assess the patient's overall exercise capacity, including indicators such as the number of sit-ups and rises. In addition, a wearable device was designed in this paper for real-time collection of knee angle information.
This study aims to assess the recovery kinetics following an exercise-induced muscle damage activity (using flywheel) on active healthy university students. The main questions are: - Is intermittent pneumatic compression superior to a placebo recovering from EIMD? Participants will perform a fatiguing protocol using flywheel and recover with either intermittent pneumatic compression or with a placebo treatment (micro-current treatment, but the device turned off). They will perform several performance tests before, following the recovery period, and at the 24h and 48h following the intervention
This study will be a randomized clinical trial will be conducted in Ayub national park cricket club Sample size will be 48 to evaluate the effects of Pilates and Burpees exercises training among cricket players with an age range of 16-24 years. Non probability convenient sampling technique would be used. Participants will be randomly assigned to 2 groups. Group A will include participants who received Pilates exercises training (6 weeks) along with the warm up. Group B participant who will receive burpees exercise training (6 weeks) and warm up. Outcomes of both trainings are the effects on core strengthening and dynamic balance on players in A group and the B group. Post interventional assessment was done via Star excursion balance test, prone bridge test and 1 minute sit-up test. Data will be collected at baseline and 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 25
The study is a randomized controlled trial. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A & B through sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Group A will be the wobble board proprioceptive training program lasting for four weeks, while Group B will be administered the multi-station proprioceptive training program lasting for four weeks.
ChatGPT ChatGPT Injury prevention and performance enhancement have become two of the main goals in every sport. Myofascial Pain Syndrome is primarily caused by myofascial trigger points, which may result in referred pain, stiffness, shortening, and/or muscle weakness. The aim of this study is to assess the effects of dry needling on latent myofascial trigger points (LTMTP) and its impact on vertical jump height in female volleyball players. The study is a single-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial conducted on healthy female volleyball practitioners with no lower limb injuries in the last 6 months. Participants must exhibit LMTP in the triceps surae muscles and be familiar with the counter-movement jump (CMJ) test. Subjects will be randomly assigned to either a control group or an intervention group.
The aim of this randomized crossover trial is to assess the hemodynamic effects caused by the use of 2 distinct intermittent pneumatic compression protocols on athletes. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does intermittent pneumatic compression enhance athletes blood flow? - If yes, what pressure is better to cause this enhancement?
The aim of this study is to investigate muscular activations during various quadriceps exercises commonly used in clinical settings.
Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International university Randomized Control Trial (RCT) will be conducted at Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Lahore, through convenience sampling technique on 44 athletes of soccer which will be allocated using random sampling through computerized generated number into Group A and Group B, 6 athletes will be in each group. Group A (interventional) will be given conventional training along with Speed Endurance Production (SEP) Training. Group B (Control) will be will be given conventional training
It is essential to practice and train appropriate activation techniques to ensure optimum strength development. Knowing the effects of exercise variations that will minimize the tension forces acting on the knee by increasing the activation of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex muscles, which are critical during sports activities, is extremely important in terms of preventing injuries. The aim of this study is to compare muscular activations during traditional and suspension-based Bulgarian split squat exercises and to examine the effect of trunk position on muscular activations.
