NCT ID: NCT06321263 Not yet recruiting - Muscle Strength Clinical Trials

Comparison of the Effects of Peripheral Muscle Training and Inspiratory Muscle Training in Geriatric Individuals

Start date: March 25, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In geriatric individuals, there is a decrease in muscle strength, muscle mass and physical performance with ageing. These physiological changes occurring in geriatric individuals make maintaining the physical activity necessary for a healthy life difficult. Weakness of respiratory muscles in geriatric individuals can increase the prevalence of diseases and disability. It has been shown in the literature that peripheral muscle training and inspiratory muscle training increase exercise capacity similarly. The effectiveness of moderate-intensity peripheral muscle training and inspiratory muscle training in sarcopenic geriatric individuals was compared and found to have similar effects on muscle strength. Our study aims to compare the effects of inspiratory and peripheral muscle training in addition to aerobic exercise on muscle strength, physical performance, respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity, sarcopenia, occupational performance, and quality of life.

Normative Values for Peripheral Muscle Strenght in Critical Patients and Healthy Individuals

HHD-ICU
Start date: March 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Muscle strength is an important indicator of overall health and is a factor that has been associated with increased mortality in critical patients. Its measurement must be reliable and reproducible to ensure a quality outcome for clinical applicability. Recently, the use of digital handheld dynamometers in intensive care has gained support; however, analysis becomes challenging due to the absence of standardized reference equations for the Brazilian population. The aim of this study is to develop reference equations for the Brazilian population and define specific cutoff points for men, women, healthy individuals, and critical patients.

NCT ID: NCT06202924 Completed - Balance Clinical Trials

Muscle Strength and Balance in Individuals With Joint Hypermobility

Start date: January 15, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Joint hypermobility is a clinical condition characterized by joints having a range of motion beyond their normal limits. Joint hypermobility (JH) makes the joints more vulnerable to trauma in individuals with increased joint range of motion, changes in neuromuscular reflexes and decreased joint position sense. Individuals with JH have difficulty in stabilization and end of extension range of motion compared to healthy individuals. Accordingly, findings such as balance problems and an increased risk of falling occur in these patients. Recent evidence suggests that children and adults with JH may be identified with seemingly unrelated, common clinical problems such as chronic fatigue, anxiety, and a range of gastrointestinal functional disorders. The use of internal and external focus in learning motor skills is important in terms of performance and activity. In the external focus of attention (EF), attention is directed to movement and an environmental stimulus. In the internal focus (IF), attention is directed directly to body movements. In revealing positive effects in external focus; Methods such as metaphor, analogy, imaginary objects, mental analogies can be used. Adopting an external focus of attention (focusing on the effects of movements on the object or environment), as opposed to an internal focus of attention (focusing on body movements), has been found to significantly improve performance on a variety of tasks. For example, to improve balance performance, while a patient performs a single-leg balance task on a Bosu ball, the therapist may instruct the patient using an internal focus of attention such as "minimize movement of the feet." However, instructions can also be given externally by changing just one word, such as "minimize Bosu's movement." Additionally, a metaphor (e.g., "stand still as if stuck to Velcro"), analogy ("imagine being on top of a mountain, stay on the mountain!"), an object attached to the body ("keep the tape stuck to the chest still"), or the target of the movement An imaginary object (e.g., straight line) of which a mental image is obtained has been used within external focus instructions.

NCT ID: NCT06160089 Recruiting - Aged Clinical Trials

Effectiveness of Iso-inertial Resistance Training in Physically Active Older Adults

Start date: November 10, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Strength training is effective for promoting longevity. The iso-inertial training method is an innovative way to improve strength, but it is unclear whether it improves muscle power and functional variables that are key to develop activities of daily living. The purpose of this study is to conduct a randomised controlled trial at the gymnasium Espai Esport Wellness Center (Granollers) involving physically active older adults (age ≥60). Our goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-week iso-inertial strength program on the muscle power, physical fitness and risk of falls compared to executing that program with a traditional gravitational strength method. Providing older adults with new, effective methods to preserve their functional capacities is essential for longevity. Also, bringing them into an active environment could encourage a healthier lifestyle and reduce the risk of physical and mental diseases.

NCT ID: NCT06151860 Completed - Muscle Strength Clinical Trials

Acute Effect of Static Stretching and Pilates Stretching on the Muscle Strength

Start date: April 5, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Introduction: Studies have shown that static stretching performed immediately before strength exercises impairs performance. However, unlike static stretching, dynamic stretching performed immediately before muscular strength exercises does not seem to result in worse performance, and in some cases may even provide greater strength performance. Still, the literature is controversial and inconclusive to date. Objective: To verify the acute effect of static stretching versus dynamic stretching on the muscle strength of young university students. Methods: The sample will consist of 102 physically active young university students, of both sexes, aged between 18 and 25 years old, subdivided into three groups: Group 1 - static stretching; Group 2 - dynamic stretching; and Group 3 - control. Everyone will undergo assessment of the isokinetic peak torque of the knee extensor and flexor muscles at 60º/s and 180º/s in the dominant lower limb. Next, the experimental groups (Groups 1 and 2) will perform static or dynamic stretching exercises for the quadriceps and hamstring muscles, while the control group will not perform any activity. Finally, everyone will undergo muscle strength assessment again according to the same procedures used initially. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) will be used to compare groups, with data from the initial assessment as adjustment covariates.
