Skeletal muscle operates as a near-constant volume system; such shortening during contraction is transversely linked to radial deformation. Therefore, assess contractile properties of skeletal muscle, displacement can be evoked and measured. Mechanomyography measures the last 20 years, tensiomyography has become most commonly used widely reported technique among various methodologies mechanomyography. Tensiomyography been demonstrated reliably measure peak twitch, well twitch speed. A number...
The frequency content of muscular sound (MS), detected by placing a contact sensor transducer over the belly biceps brachii during 10 isometric contractions 4 s each [10-100% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC)] in seven sedentary men, was analyzed maximum entropy spectral estimation and fast Fourier transform methods. With increasing %MVC, power spectrum MS enlarges tends to be multimodal beyond 30% MVC. Independent method, mean is approximately 11 Hz at lower tasks, then it increases up 15...
Return to play (RTP) decisions in football are currently based on expert opinion. No consensus guideline has been published demonstrate an evidence-based decision-making process (soccer). Our aim was provide a framework for RTP following lower limb muscle injuries sustained football. A 1-day meeting held Milan, 31 August 2018, involving 66 national and international experts from various academic backgrounds. narrative review of the current evidence provided delegates. Assembled came best...
The sound (SMG) generated by the biceps muscle during isometric exercise at 20, 40, 60, and 80% of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) up to exhaustion has been recorded a contact transducer integrated (iSMG), together with surface electromyogram (EMG) in eight young untrained men. At onset exercise, iSMG EMG (iEMG) amplitude increased linearly exercise. remained constant for 253 +/- 73 (SD), 45 16, 21 5, 0 s four levels contraction. Then 20% MVC, fluctuated 40% decreased exponentially 60...
The 6-minute walking test (6MWT) is a simple assessment tool to evaluate exercise capacity. result of the distance that subject can walk at constant and normal pace within 6 minutes (6MWD) reflects aerobic/fitness performance related function. Use 6MWT has been relevant assess tolerance either in healthy children or patients with, heart, lung metabolic diseases. Our aim was find reference values Italian children. performed 5614 aged 6-11 years recruited from primary schools. Age percentiles...
To assess the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and incontinence in female athletes to determine etiological factors.An anonymous self-questionnaire was collected from 623 casual aged 18 56 years, who were involved 12 different sports. The surveys distributed by hand athletes, during their sports fitness tests, a center. We investigated relationship between disorders factors such as age, body mass index (BMI), parity, duration physical exercise, type sport.The LUTS 54.7%, 30%...
Abstract Alpha band oscillations in shared synaptic inputs to the alpha motor neuron pool can be considered an involuntary source of noise that hinders precise voluntary force production. This study investigated impact changing muscle length on spinal neurons, particularly physiological tremor band. Fourteen healthy individuals performed low‐level dorsiflexion contractions at ankle joint angles 90° and 130°, while high‐density surface electromyography (HDsEMG) was recorded from tibialis...
