Filter by:This randomized controlled trial aims to assess the effectiveness of a 12-week plyometric training regimen on improving power, speed, and agility among boys aged 10 to 18 years who are actively engaged in sports and exhibit differing levels of biological maturity. The study seeks to determine how maturation affects the responsiveness to the training program, potentially influencing future sports training approaches for young athletes.
This study; will be conducted to investigate the effect of quadriceps muscle fatigue on static and dynamic balance in regular physical activity individuals and sedentary individuals. International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ), Mini BESTest, Modified Borg Scale questionnaire and acute muscle fatigue protocol will be applied and Y balance Test, Flamingo Balance Test, Tecnobody Balance Measurement, EMG measurement, anthropometric measurements and digital dynamometer measurements will be made.
This study will evaluate lower extremity and trunk neuromuscular control in 78 nulligravid and postpartum women. Participants will attend two experimental sessions, approximately 1 week apart, to assess neuromuscular function. Physical activity levels will also be assessed.
The goal of this project is to evaluate the therapeutic potential of pioglitazone (PIO) to target underlying mechanisms that promote muscle fatigue in patients with breast cancer. This represents an off-label use of this compound, both in terms of the patient population and the clinical phenotype targeted. The central research hypothesis of this study is that daily pioglitazone will restore transcriptional downregulation of pathways within skeletal that promote fatigue.
The objective is to assess if TENS will improve the muscle recovery rate from post-exercise fatigue.
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of cervical muscle Fatigue on neck proprioception and postural stability during cervical flexion. BACKGROUND: Postural stability is the ability to maintain the body in equilibrium either at rest or in a steady state of motion . Muscle fatigue is the diminished response of muscle to repeated stimulus. Cervical proprioceptive inputs provide important somatosensory information influencing postural stability. Hence, the investigators performed this study to evaluate the effect of experimentally induced fatigue on general cervical musculature on postural stability . HYPOTHESES: This study will hypnotize that: 1. Cervical flexor muscle fatigue will have a significant effect on neck proprioception 2. Cervical muscle fatigue will have a significant effect on posture stability RESEARCH QUESTION: Will fatigue of cervical flexors have an effect on neck proprioception and postural stability?
Orofacial pain encompasses painful conditions, such as temporomandibular disorder. Multidisciplinary health teams seek to control such musculoskeletal disorders to improve the quality and functional capacity of the muscles of mastication. The aim of the proposed study is to evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy as a form of treatment for the prevention of initial fatigue of the muscles of mastication (masseter and anterior temporal muscles) as well as the recovery of these muscles after induced exhaustion (caused by isometric contraction) in young adults. The participants will be 78 (n obtained from calculation of the sample size with p < 0.05) healthy male and female volunteers between 18 and 34 years of age. The volunteers will be randomly allocated to a laser group (n = 26), sham group (n = 26) and control group (n = 26). All participants will be submitted to a clinical evaluation to record mandibular movements, bite force, muscle sensitivity to palpation and initial muscle fatigue. Initial fatigue will be induced by isometric contraction of the jaws. Maximum voluntary contraction will be performed to record the time until initial exhaustion of the masseter muscle (determined by electromyography). The groups will then be submitted to the interventions: 1) active laser therapy (wavelength: 780 nm; fluence: 134 J/cm2; power: 50 mW; irradiance: 1.675 W/cm2; exposure time: 80 seconds per point) on three points of the masseter and one point on the anterior temporal muscles on each side, 2) sham laser (placebo effect) or 3) no intervention (control). Maximum voluntary contraction will be performed again after the interventions to record the time until initial exhaustion of the masseter muscle (determined by electromyography). Differences in individual time until exhaustion between the pre-intervention and post-intervention evaluations will be measured to determine the effect of low-level laser therapy.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of muscle fatigue in the scapular kinematics of overhead athletes with and without using a kinesio taping technique for facilitating lower trapezius function. The hypothesis is that the taping technique could compensate for the negative effects caused by muscle fatigue in the scapular kinematics of healthy overhead athletes.
