Context : Hamstring strain injury (HSI) is the most prevalent in football (soccer), and a few intrinsic factors have been associated with higher rates. Objective To describe prevalence of main risk for HSI professional under-20 players. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Physiotherapy laboratory, Federal University Health Sciences Porto Alegre (Brazil). Participants A total 101 players (52 49 players). Intervention An evidence-based testing protocol screening factors. Main Outcome...
Abstract Objective To investigate the usefulness and performance metrics of three freely-available softwares (Rayyan®, Abstrackr® Colandr®) for title screening in systematic reviews. Study design setting In this methodological study, to screen titles reviews was investigated by comparison between number identified software-assisted those manual using a previously published review. test metrics, sensitivity, specificity, false negative rate, proportion missed, workload timing savings were...
Knee peak torque (PT) is associated to jump performance in volleyball players. It not clear whether muscle strength imbalances of the knee joint can influence performance. The purpose study was analyse association between PT and muscular with professional Eleven elite male players (90.3 ± 9.7 kg body mass 1.94 0.06 m height) were evaluated an isokinetic dynamometer at speeds 60, 180 300 deg/s. Muscle obtained through calculation contralateral deficit limbs conventional ratio...
Background Mindfulness-based interventions can improve psychological well-being and reduce symptoms of mental burden, including among adolescents. Relationships between basic mindfulness (trait mindfulness) the immediate effects a single intervention have not been thoroughly researched, especially in In this study, we aimed to elucidate these aspects by using multimodal approach—measuring effect on both subjective physiological parameters. Methods A total 78 healthy adolescents (12–19 years...
This study compared the effects of 20 weeks concurrent training with and without repetitions to failure on neuromuscular functional adaptations in older men.Thirty-six men (67.1 ± 5.1 years) were randomized into three groups: one performing (RFG, n = 13), another not 50% RFG (NFG, 12), a third equal volume (ENFG, 11). Training was performed twice week for at intensities ranging from 65% 80% maximal strength. In each session, individuals started strengthening exercises then aerobic exercise...
To examine the differences between performing Nordic hamstring exercises once or twice a week on eccentric strength and other muscle-strain risk factors in high-level football players.In this randomized trial, 32 players (18-23 y old) completed an 8-week exercise training program 1 of 2 experimental groups: group (once week; n = 15) (twice 17). Knee-flexor/extensor peak torques biceps femoris long-head muscle architecture were assessed through isokinetic dynamometry ultrasonography,...
BACKGROUND: Initiating and maintaining physical activity is particularly difficult for at-risk groups such as those with chronic low back pain (LBP). OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess whether there a relationship between perceived social support (e.g., emotional support) in individuals recently discharged from treatment LBP the number of exercise sessions total amount they perform over 6-month period. also investigate possible mediation effect self-efficacy on adherence (number...
To develop a bank of text messages for lifestyle-based self-management intervention people with low back pain (LBP).
Abstract Objective The authors sought to describe the protocol of a randomized controlled trial that will investigate effects TEXT4myBACK self-management text message intervention compared with control in people low back pain (LBP). Methods A single-blind (assessor and statistician), economic analysis process evaluation be conducted. total 304 non-specific LBP less than 12 weeks enrolled randomly allocated either or groups. group receive 4 semi-personalized messages per week providing...
Exercise buddies (people to exercise together with) might support people with low back pain (LBP) become active. However, involving in randomised controlled trials (RCT) challenge recruitment, data collection and follow-up.
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of hamstrings and quadriceps strength on hamstrings-to-quadriceps conventional (H:Qcon) functional (H:Qfun) ratios in male soccer players. Quadriceps concentric peak torque (PT) eccentric PT were assessed with isokinetic dynamometry at 60°/s 101 players (202 legs). The cut-points 0.50, 0.55 0.60 used assess muscle imbalance through H:Qcon ratio, while 0.80, 0.85 0.90 for H:Qfun ratio. Legs lower ratio had decreased (p < 0.01; moderate large effect...
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2017v19n4p426 The isokinetic performance of thigh muscles has been related to athletic and risk for non-contact injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament ruptures hamstring strains. Although profile American football players from United States (USA) is widely described, there a lack studies comprising acting outside the USA. primary objective this study was describe in elite Brazil. Secondarily, we aimed compare playing positions Brazilian with...
To determine: (1) the smallest change in function patients would need to see following a self-management intervention for low back pain (LBP) consider it worthwhile; (2) association between patient-related factors and magnitude of worthwhile change.A cross-sectional analysis 212 participants TEXT4myBACK randomised trial was conducted. At baseline, nominated (0-30 scale) program they reach worthwhile. A multivariate regression model estimated effects demographic, comorbidities, lifestyle...
