Abstract The study aimed to assess the effects of compression trigger point therapy on stiffness trapezius muscle in professional basketball players (Part A), and reliability MyotonPRO device clinical evaluation athletes B). Twelve participated Part A (mean age: 19.8 ± 2.4 years, body height 197 8.2 cm, mass: 91.8 11.8 kg), with unilateral neck or shoulder pain at dominant side. B tested twelve right-handed male SD; 20.4 1.2 years; height: 178.6 7.7 cm; 73.2 12.6 kg). Stiffness measurements...

(1) Background: The growing prevalence of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and declining physical fitness among children adolescents due to sedentary lifestyles has increased attention toward preventive intervention tackle this issue. This study investigated the age-related effects high-intensity functional training (HIFT), based on bodyweight resistance exercises conducted during education lessons, muscle mass strength improvement. (2) Methods: Adolescent males (n = 116) were allocated four...

Abstract Our primary objective was to investigate the effects of short-term core stability training on dynamic balance and trunk muscle endurance in novice weightlifters learning technique Olympic lifts. secondary compare between experienced weightlifters. Thirty (NOV) five (EXP) participated study. Mediolateral (ML) anteroposterior (AP) testing were performed a week before (Pre) after (Post) 4-week program. In NOV group, there an improvement both (ML AP, p = 0.0002) (p 0.0002). EXP no...

Balance control has been shown to play a fundamental role both in everyday life and many athletic activities. An important component of balance is the somatosensory information gained from muscle spindles Golgi tendon organs. The changes muscle-tendon unit stiffness could alter ability detect respond promptly an unstable environment. One procedures affecting stretching, contract-relax PNF stretching (CRS) considered as one safest most effective techniques. So far, there are no studies on...

Abstract The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 6-week high-velocity strength training (HVST) intervention on movement velocity and endurance in experienced powerlifters with cerebral palsy (CP). Eleven CP seven from control group (CON), were subjected HVST. An assessment was conducted one week before (T1) after (T2) intervention. During testing, athletes performed maximum number bench press repetitions possible within 5 sets 15 s each, 1-min passive rest intervals in-between....

Background: Asthma and COPD are common diseases of the respiratory system. An important element in medical treatment these patients is physiotherapy, focused on reduction symptoms improvement quality life. Therefore, aim this study was to evaluate response with asthma a three-week sanatorium rehabilitation terms exercise capacity perception health. Material/Methods: group (n = 17; age 52 ±3 years); 20; 55 ±5 years). During rehabilitation, used breathing exercises, inhalation, magnetic...

The study aimed to investigate the impact of a 12-week strength training program on force accuracy and steadiness changes in lower limbs young healthy men. Twenty subjects with dominant right limb were included. They performed matching task both pre post program. ability reproduce was determined by calculating three errors: absolute error (AE), constant (CE), variable (VE). After intervention AE VE improved legs indicating higher improvement leg (p = 0.032 for p 0.005 VE). However, CE only...

Background:The purpose of the study was to investigate whether, in addition an expected in- crease anaerobic endurance, aerobic endurance disabled swimmers would also improve a special preparation sub-period.Furthermore, decision made examine whether applied tests prove sufficiently sensitive for with disabilities as well.Material/Methods: The included 12 from section Polish Sports Asso- ciation Disabled "START" Wroclaw.Two standardized were used.The T-30 test used evaluate and 6x50 m...

Abstract Aim of the study. The aim this study was to investigate effect a single artificial carbonic acid water bath on hemodynamic parameters in patients with hypertension. Material and methods. Hypertensive (n = 33) were measured blood pressure heart rate before during last minute treatment. Additionally calculated: stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (Q), double product (RPP). mineral used therapeutic artificially enriched carbon dioxide (1000 mg/dm Results. HR decreased by 7.6 bpm (p...

Summary Introduction. The diagnostic and therapeutic Ryodoraku method is based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TMC) involves measurement of electrodermal activity (EDA). 24 points are considered representative for various meridian pathways. aim study was to assess effect a single training session EDA change using in taekwondo competitors analysis usefulness such methods training. Material methods. 18 aged 15-25 years participated experiment. control group comprised 20 males, students...

Background: The effects of low-intensity resistance training on health and muscular performance have been widely reported, but its motor skills such as balance force matching overlooked. Hence, the purpose this study was to determine a force-matching task balance. Methods: subjects from intervention group (EXP; n = 20) participated in 12-week program. measurements ability were conducted before after intervention. To accuracy steadiness (variability) task, we calculated values three errors:...
