The objective of this study was to evaluate effects photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on the 3000 m running performance (primary outcome), economy (RE), metabolic cost and ratings perceived exertion during (secondary outcomes). Twenty male endurance athletes performed 4-min treadmill rectangular test at 12 km.h-1 monitored by a gas analyser. After that, PBMT or placebo in each lower limb applied, followed maximum m. Immediately after test, repeated test. Another application PBMT/placebo done...

BACKGROUND: Stretching exercises increase the joint range of motion (ROM) and depend on skeletal tissues' exposition-time to stretch. However, it is unclear how a long stretching time affects muscle-tendon unit's passive mechanical properties. AIM: This study aimed analyze changes in triceps surae unit’s properties before after 10-minute protocol. METHOD: Thirty healthy participants (26.57 ± 3.82 years old) were allocated into control group (n=15), who did not perform any intervention, an...

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare proximal, local, and distal muscle morphology in women with without patellofemoral pain (PFP). Materials Methods: Proximal, thicknesses (MTs) were obtained B-mode sonography healthy (control group [CG], n = 20) PFP (PFP group, women. In addition, mass measured by the sum synergistic MTs. Data analyzed independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, effect size. Results: had smaller gluteus medius ( P .02, d 0.7), vastus medialis < .01, 1.0),...

Background: Despite the potential connection between hip and knee muscle control, there is limited research on effects of abductor fatigue neuromuscular responses in both males females. This study aimed to investigate influence sex frontal plane kinematics EMG abductors extensor muscles during single-leg squat before after fatigue. Methods: A total 30 participants (males, n = 15; females, 15) performed squats immediately a protocol (10° abduction position while bearing 20% load their...

Resumo Para realização e manutenção de movimentos estéticos grande amplitude articular, um bailarino necessita desenvolver além flexibilidade, força muscular. Trabalhos científicos sobre o “ballet” apontam para uma lacuna com relação ao efeito diferentes métodos treinamento na produção muscular em grandes amplitudes movimento. Assim, objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os efeitos programa resistência elástica torque, a movimento ativa passiva, bem como ângulo tempo sustentação da flexão...

Background The combined effects of low-level laser therapy and neuromuscular electrical stimulation on knee osteoarthritis have yet to be analysed. This study aimed determine the individual muscle activation pain in older people with osteoarthritis. Methods A total 45 women aged 60–75 years were randomised into three groups receive stimulation, or plus therapy. All underwent a 4-week control period (without intervention) followed by an 8-week intervention period. interventions inhibition,...

BACKGROUND: Runners not habituated to the forefoot strike pattern may require specific strengthening of plantar flexor muscles prevent injuries. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate effects eccentric training for ankle flexors on kinetic and kinematic parameters running i n individuals this type foot strike. METHODS: Twenty-four healthy (12 men, 12 women), 18-25 years age who were randomly divided into 2 groups: an experimental group (eccentric performed using isokinetic dynamometer, 3 times a week 8...

Pulsed current and kilohertz frequency alternating are 2 types of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) currents often used by clinicians during rehabilitation. However, the low methodological quality different NMES parameters protocols in several studies might explain their inconclusive results terms effects evoked torque discomfort level. In addition, efficiency (ie, type that evokes highest with lowest intensity) has not been established yet. Therefore, our objective was to compare...
