Bridges and bird-dog exercises are commonly used in general training, as well warm-up cool-down routines for young athletes to boost performance prevent injuries. They frequently paired with limb other trunk exercises, performed without precise control over intensity, which hinders the understanding of their actual impact. This double-blinded randomized controlled trial aimed evaluate effects two bridging exercise programs (one emphasizing volume) on whole-body balance. Sixty participants...
Background and objectives: Fatigue is one of the most disabling symptoms that limit daily life activities in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). This study aimed to evaluate effects maximal strength training (MST) on perceived-fatigue functional mobility pwMS. Materials Methods: 26 participants MS were balanced according their pre-intervention fatigue scores distributed into an MST group (n = 13) a control (CG; n 13). The completed eight weeks using high loads, evaluating detraining...
Postural control has been associated with the functional impairment in persons multiple sclerosis (pwMS). However, there is a need for reliable methods to assess postural early stages of disease, when subtle changes can be difficult detect. The aims this study were absolute and relative reliability standing sitting posturographic protocol minimally (Expanded Disability Status Scale ≤ 2) moderately (2.5 Expanded 4) impaired pwMS, analyze relationships among mobility gait performance.To an...
Disability progression is a prominent feature of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, little known about the extent to which physical condition parameters and perceived fatigue evolve during disease. We analyzed how strength, balance, core stability differ among different cohorts people with MS (PwMS) disability degrees these contribute patients' gait speed functional mobility. Sixty-three PwMS divided into three groups according "Expanded Status Scale" (MS1: EDSS ≤ 1.5; MS2: 2 3.5; MS3: 4 6)...
Research on muscle performance testing reliability in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) has focused limb while less is known about trunk strength and endurance. This work aims to 1) establish test-retest of flexion, lateral extension tests, plank, side bridge, Biering-Sørensen endurance tests MS matched healthy controls (HCs); 2) analyze known-groups validity these HCs; 3) compare groups for side-to-side differences; 4) describe the relationships between functional mobility tests.Fifteen...
BACKGROUND: Body tilt changes could affect the intensity/difficulty of core stability exercises, but there is still a lack knowledge about its impact. OBJECTIVE: To analyse trunk muscles activation during prone plank exercises at different body tilts. METHODS: Twenty-four young adults who performed recreational gymnastic activities participated in this study. Electromyography activity rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique (EO), internal (IO) and erector spinae (ES) was recorded performance...
Introduction: Assessment of strength in youth athletes using a safety, time-efficient and reliable test is crucial for conditioning professionals. The purpose this study was to examine the reliability one-repetition maximum (1RM) estimation through movement velocity soccer players. In addition, relationships between 1RM with peak power (PP), jumping sprinting performance were checked. Material methods: Twenty-two players (16.8±0.6 years) took part study. Participants completed half-squat,...
Optimal reporting is a critical element of scholarly communications. Several initiatives, such as the EQUATOR checklists, have raised authors' awareness about importance adequate research reports. On these premises, we aimed at appraising quality published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) dealing with rehabilitation interventions. Given breadth literature, focused on for multiple sclerosis (MS), which was taken model challenging condition all professionals.A thematic methodological survey...
