Filter by:Introduction. Blood flow restriction therapy involves the use of an occlusion cuff placed over an extremity resulting in a partial reduction of arterial blood flow and total restriction of venous return. Objectives. To analyse the efficacy of a physiotherapy intervention using blood flow restriction in improving upper limb strength in adult handball players. Methods. Randomised, single-blind, clinical study. 20 athletes will be recruited and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The intervention of the experimental group will consist of performing an exercise protocol after blood flow restriction. The intervention period will last 4 weeks, with a periodicity of 2 weekly sessions of 30 minutes each. The primary variable will be the strength of the triceps, epicondyle and epitrochlear musculature (pressure hand dynamometer). The secondary variable will be the muscle activation of this musculature (surface electromyography).
Introduction. Basketball is a high intensity intermittent sport, requiring jumping, running, accelerations and decelerations with changes of direction and lateral movements. Plyometric exercises are a training technique that consists of a cycle of muscle stretching and shortening in which the energy stored in the eccentric phase (lengthening) is released facilitating the production of maximum power in the concentric phase (shortening). Objective. To analyse the efficacy of a physiotherapy intervention through a protocol of plyometric and stability exercises in the improvement of vertical jump, stability, flexibility and agility in federated female basketball players. The primary variable will be the vertical jump (My jump 2.0). Secondary variables will be stability (Y balance test), flexibility (Sit and Reach) and agility (T-Test). Methods. Controlled, single-blind clinical study. 20 athletes will be randomised to the experimental and control groups. The intervention of the experimental group will consist of a protocol using plyometric and stability exercises. The athletes included in the control group will not perform any intervention and will continue with their usual routine. The intervention period will last 6 weeks, with a periodicity of 2 weekly sessions of 20 minutes each.
Neural mobilizations (NM) are defined as interventions that aim to directly or indirectly affect neural structures or surrounding tissue through manual techniques or exercise. Neural mobilizations have been studied in both patients and healthy populations. In the study, individuals in the amateur football team will be divided into three groups and will be given pre-training warm-up periods, including neural mobilization, dynamic and static stretching.After the warm-up period, its effect on flexibility and performance will be examined and compared.
In archery, the body morphological and anthropometric characteristics of the prominent athletes change. It is important to examine facial anthropometry, especially since the athlete's equipment touches the facial area, and there are no studies on this subject. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between facial anthropometric measurements and anthropometry-related parameters and sports performance in archery athletes.
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.
A randomized, counterbalanced intervention study in esport players.
Rink Hockey is a sport played on a 40*20 metres rink characterized by combined periods of high intensity and short breaks, there´s a lack of epidemiological studies in this field. In line with the well-established model of sports injury prevention research proffered by van Mechelen, the first stage in this process is establishing the extent of the problem i.e. injury incidence, severity and burden.
To evaluate the effects of dry needling of latent myofascial trigger points on vertical jump height in female volleyball players
Introduction. One of the most common injuries in competitive esports professionals is dorsolumbar and neck pain, due to the effort caused by the maintenance of the site for long periods of time. Cervical motor control exercises recruit the deep musculature by increasing its strength and reducing muscle fatigue. Aim. Evaluate the effectiveness of motor control exercises in cervical muscle fatigue and strength, in electronic athletes from 18 to 25 years. Study design. Randomized clinical trial, simple blind. Methods. 30 electronic athletes will be randomly assigned in two groups: experimental (which will perform 3 sessions of 3 motor control exercises) and control (which will not perform any type of intervention). The intervention will last 6 weeks, with 3 weekly sessions of 10 minutes each. The study variables are the muscle strength of the deep cervical muscle (measured by a stabilizer pressure gauge) and the subjective perception of the effort (Borg scale). Expected results. The aim is an improvement in the muscular strength of deep cervical muscles, together with a decrease in subjective perception of exertion.
