The Impact of Vertical Jump Exercise in the Postsynaptic Cleft in Wistar Rats

By

SUMMARY Background. Skeletal muscle tissue demonstrates remarkable adaptability responding to stimuli at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) during activities like vertical jump­ing, an essential ability in sports. Research about these changes can offer insights into neuromuscular plasticity. Objective. The study aimed to explore the neuroplasticity of the postsynaptic cleft at the NMJ after vertical jump (VJ) … Continued

Exercise is Effective for Disease Activity Control with Various Effects on Entheses: An Ultrasound-Based Study

By

SUMMARY Introduction. The effect of physical activity on disease activity and enthesitis in patients with spondyloarthritis is unknown. We aimed to describe clinical and enthesis features and disease activity of spondyloarthritis patients and to assess the association between physical activity and disease activity. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional study including consecutive patients followed for radiographic … Continued

Ultrasonography and Electromyography Activity of Abdominal Muscles in Different Abdominal Exercises: A Systematic Review

By

SUMMARY Objective. The aim of this study was to systematically review current literature on the effectiveness of various exercises and modifications on thickness and electrical activity of abdominal muscles using ultrasonography and electromyography in healthy adults. Methods. An electronic search was carried out on PubMed, Web of science, ProQuest, Google Scholar, Cochrane and Science Direct … Continued

Effects of Ischemic Pre and Postconditioning on Indirect Markers of muscle damage: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

By

SUMMARY Introduction. Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) occurs following unaccustomed or eccentric exercise. Ischemic conditioning applied passively before (IPCb) or after (IPCa) exercise may mitigate EIMD. However, IPC effects on indirect markers of EIMD are not fully understood. Objective. To evaluate IPCb and IPCa effects on indirect markers of EIMD. Methods. We screened randomized clinical trials … Continued

Postural Control Pre- and Post-Group Supervised Clinic Based Exercise or Home Based Exercise in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Clinical Trial

By

SUMMARY Background. Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, multifactorial and progressive disease that decreases range of motion and flexibility and alters proprioception and postural control. Postural control provides stability and conditions to assume and maintain the desired body position. In OA patients, this postural control is diminished along with overall functional capacity, and physical exercise … Continued

Are there Differences in the Muscles Activation during Exercise for Patellofemoral Pain Patients? A Cross-Sectional Study

By

SUMMARY Objective. To compare the activation of the gluteus medius (GM) and tensor fasciae latae (TFL) muscles, during eleven exercises to strengthen the lateral hip region in volunteers with and without pattelofemoral pain. Methods. Twenty-four females participated in this study, the evaluation was performed through the electromyography analysis of the GM and TFL muscles during … Continued

Effects of Resistance Training with Blood Flow Restriction on Muscle Strength and Biomarkers in Older People: A Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials

By

SUMMARY Background. Blood flow restriction (BFR) is a technique that utilizes inflatable cuffs to partially restrict arterial inflow and modulate venous flow in the active musculature through gradual mechanical compression. Objective. This systematic review aimed to analyze the effects of resistance training (RT) with BFR on muscle strength and biomarkers in older individuals. Methods. This … Continued

The Effect of Contraction Type and Training Volume in Unilateral Exercises on Cross-Education: A Narrative Review Study

By

SUMMARY Objective. The effect of unilateral exercises on the untrained limb, usually called “cross-education,” can help treat immobility. Review studies in 2017 have shown that type of contraction, volume, and intensity of training are effective on the rate of cross-education. Therefore, this review study aimed at the kind of contraction and the volume of training on crossed education. Methods. … Continued

Influence of Exercise on Musculoskeletal Disorders Associated with Gut Microbiota: A Narrative Review

By

SUMMARY The gut microbiota, a collection of populations of gut microbes, is responsible for a range of metabolic, immunological, structural and neurological functions, such as maintenance of metabolic homeostasis, development and maturation of the immune system, resistance to infection and production of neurotransmitters, microbial dysbiosis, defined as a negative alteration in the diversity, structure or … Continued

Whole-Body Vibration, Morphological and Antioxidant Effects on the Diaphragm Muscle of Obese Rats

By

SUMMARY Background. This study aimed investigating the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) on morphological parameters and the antioxidant system of the diaphragm muscle of Wistar rats with monosodium glutamate (MSG) obesity induction. Methods. 28 animals were separated into two groups: obesity (administration of MSG) and control group. At 80 days of age, the groups were … Continued
