Filter by:The primary purpose of the study is to assess the muscle contractility and sensitivity of lumbar erector spinae, biceps femoris, and gluteus maximus short-term response to Tabata kettlebell swing protocol.
In recent years, athletes have frequently utilized Kinesio tape (KT) to enhance their performance. Despite widespread use, data regarding its efficacy and mechanism of action is lacking among healthy endurance athletes. This study aims to determine the effect of KT application on acute-onset muscle soreness and the extensibility of the calf muscles in endurance athletes.
The RubusElite project is a multi-disciplinary project combining expertise in exercise science, nutrition, biochemistry, microbiology and food science across three institutions: University College Cork, Waterford Institute of Technology and Teagasc Food Research. This project has been funded by the Irish Department for Food, Agriculture and the Marines Food Institutional Research Measure (FIRM) initiative. The overarching aim of the RubusElite project is to provide an attractive, evidence-based performance and recovery food product for those undergoing frequent strenuous exercise in the form of a blackberry enriched, high protein dairy beverage. The process of developing this product will act as an exemplar model, providing best practice guidelines for the development of future functional foods in the performance nutrition space. This randomised controlled trial (RCT) will act as the ultimate test of efficacy of this functional food. It is envisaged that this RCT will assess the impact of a combined protein-polyphenol beverage on post-exercise recovery, exercise capacity, composition of the gut microbiome as well as central stress processing.
The purpose of this study is to investigate muscle stiffness in relation to delayed on-set muscle soreness following exercise and to investigate how well the change in muscle stiffness correlates with the subjective experienced degree of stiffness.
The aim of the study was to determine whether delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in trunk muscles has an effect on respiratory function parameters, respiratory muscle strength, respiratory muscle endurance, and exercise capacity.
Intense exercise can bring about various side effects to one's body. Less range of motion, increased pain sensitivity, increased muscle swelling, and decreased muscle strength can occur immediately after exercise. These side effects can be referred to exercise induced muscle damage (EIMD) and can sometimes last many days. This study's goal is to evaluate the effects of various protein supplements on EIMD symptoms as well as on blood vessel health during the recovery period after muscle damaging exercise.
Blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise involves the application of a constriction device to the limbs to restrict muscle blood flow during exercise. In recent years, BFR has become increasingly popular due to its additive effects on low-load resistance training, often promoting greater increases in muscle strength and size compared to similar resistance training without BFR. However, like other exercise, it is possible that BFR exercise can cause exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) that results in short-term reductions in muscle function and increased muscle soreness and swelling. One major variable that may influence the onset of EIMD is the restriction pressure used to restrict blood flow; however, the influence of restriction pressure on resistance EIMD is unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of two different restriction pressures (low and high) on EIMD responses to a bout of low-load BFR resistance exercise in a sample of healthy, active adults. It is hypothesised that a higher restriction pressure will result in increased EIMD compared to a lower restriction pressure. To test this hypothesis, participants will perform a lower-body exercise protocol with and without BFR, and several markers of EIMD will be assessed before and immediately, 24, 48, and 72 hours after the exercise.
The objective of the study is to test the capacity of a five-day supplementation of Turmipure Gold® to improve exercise-induced muscle pain and function recovery in moderately active adults after exercise-induced muscle damage
Aging is associated with the loss of muscle mass and function (sarcopenia) and reduced tissue regenerative capacity. Eccentric exercise (ECC) is a model of RET that can be used with the elderly, due to the ability of the muscle to combine high muscle strength production with low energy cost. ECC contractions are significantly more damaging to the muscles and produce greater muscle strength, for these reasons there is a greater risk of inducing muscle damage before the muscle is able to adapt. Parmigiano Reggiano (PR) has some peculiar bromatological characteristics. The proteins contained in it, and in particular the potentially bioactive peptide sequences, can rapidly provide the amino acids necessary to promote muscle growth and repair during exercise. Furthermore, PR can be an important source of fatty acids, of which a significant amount of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) which are known to have important clinical effects on body composition and metabolic health and can have a systemic anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, the central hypothes is that PR consumed during RET can provide more energy substrates and improve muscle recovery. To date, no studies have studied its function on recovery from exercise nor in the elderly.
Subjects over age 50 with no previous resistance training sessions will be recruited at a subacute rehabilitation and long term care facility. Subjects will be asked to perform a series of eccentric upper arm curl exercises under physician supervision in order to induce muscle soreness. Afterwards, topical oil containing a 2% dilution of either eucalyptus or peppermint oil in fractionated coconut oil will be applied to the flexor surface of the proximal non-dominent arm, and plain fractionated coconut oil to the other arm. This will be repeated at 8 hours and 24 hours after exercise. Subjects will be asked to report their perceived level of muscle soreness using a visual analog scale survey 24, 48, and 72 hours after exercise.
