Background: The inclusion of resistance training in the treatment and management muscular dystrophy has previously been discouraged, based on mainly anecdotal evidence. There remains a lack experimental investigation into individuals with dystrophy. aim current study was therefore, to determine effect 12-week programme muscle strength functional tasks ambulatory adults Methods: Seventeen (Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy: n = 6, Limb-Girdle Becker 5) were recruited for this study. Participants...
This study aimed to investigate the bio- mechanical response of hamstring muscles acute stretching in dancers (D) compared non-dancers (ND). Maximal range motion (ROM Max ) and stiffness hamstrings were assessed 46 young males, 23 undergraduate students (ND) professional (D). Ages two groups D 21.5 ± 0.60 years; ND 27.5 0.98 years). Testing was performed sessions, familiarization with procedures first session tests themselves (pre- post-test intervention) second, a 24- 48-hour interval...
Purpose Investigate the impact of 12-weeks' moderate-intensity resistance training on psychological parameters in ambulatory adults with Facioscapulohumeral, Becker, and Limb–girdle muscular dystrophy.Methods Seventeen Facioscapulohumeral (n = 6), 6; types 2A, 2B, 2L, 2I), or Becker 5) dystrophy took part. Participants were tested at baseline (PRE), after a 12-week control period (PRE2), supervised programme (POST). Training included multi-joint single-joint exercises. Outcomes from...
The impact of physical impairment on Froude efficiency and intracyclic velocity fluctuation in Para swimmers is not well documented. Identification differences these variables between disabled nondisabled could help develop a more objective system for assigning to classes competition. This study quantifies unilateral forearm-amputee front crawl evaluates associations performance.Ten completed trials at 50- 400-m pace; three-dimensional video analysis provided mass center, wrist stump...
