Filter by:Background: Muscle flexibility is a fundamental physical quality for body development, daily life and sports activities, and also for maintaining muscle quality during aging. Limited flexibility leads to an increased prevalence of musculoskeletal injury in general population and longer return to sports activities. Among the existent strategies to increase muscle flexibility in sports training and physical rehabilitation, static stretching is commonly used by health and physical activity professionals. Its effectiveness in increasing flexibility has been widely demonstrated; however its effects on muscle strength and power remains controversial. Therefore, eccentric resistance exercise has been proposed as an effective intervention for increasing muscle flexibility through structural changes on muscle architecture (pennation angle and fascicle length) with the additional benefit of resistance training on muscle strength and power. Nonetheless, its unknown if the increase in muscle flexibility through eccentric resistance exercise could be similar to what has been previously demonstrated with static stretching.
During data acquisition a trained therapist placed reflective markers on the skin of the participants in the selected body landmarks. The participants will be asked to perform five trial for each upper limb of a determinate functional task for each session.
The study aims to find validity and intra-inter examiner reliability of the Lever Laser Lunge Test (LLLT). This is a new way to measure ankle range of motion during weight bearing, instead of classical dorsiflexion lunge test The study wants to assume that LLLT is comparable to the traditional test but more efficient because it could be used in different settings. To reach this goal, these two non-invasive tests will be performed to measure the amount of movement of the ankle joint in healthy teenage basketball players. Data will be statistically compared and studied.
A 14-day physiotherapy treatment for temporomandibular joint hyperlaxity is established. Pre-intervention measurements and intermediate and end-of-treatment measurements are taken. Range of movement, algometry and muscle balance are assessed.
The effect of stretching on range of motion is believed to rely upon an increased tolerance to stretch. This suggests, that pain modulation has significance in regards to the effect of stretching.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether whole body vibration with plyometric training has effect on physical performance parameters and balance also this study searched for if vibration support additional benefits to normal plyometric training. Methods: 24 elite basketball players divided into two group as 12 players with the mean age of 24 ± 6,96 years (Study Group) and 12 players with the mean age of 22,45 ± 5,22 years (Control Group). Plyometric training were applied to study group on whole body vibration platform for 6 weeks (2 days/week) with routine basketball training, in control group plyometric training were applied on whole body vibration platform with the similar period of time but platform had been closed. All the assessments (physical measurement, vertical and horizontal jump tests, one-repetition maximum (1-RM) half squat strength test, 20 m speed test, T agility test, sit and reach flexibility test, star excursion balance test) were applied before and after 6 weeks plyometric training for both groups.
The purpose of this study is to compare the acute effect of the use of different thermal modalities associated to the training of passive flexibility of the hamstring muscles in the amplitude of motion of the knee extension.
