Donner and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of limited range of motion (ROM) isokinetic knee extensor exercise on isometric strength development inside and outside the trained ROM. Four male and 18 female volunteers between the ages of 20 and 48 years were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The experimental group trained the knee extensors isokinetically on the KINCOM from 45 to 0 degrees of knee flexion three times a week for five weeks. The control group did not train. Both groups were pretested and posttested on the KINCOM for isometric knee extensor peak torque at 15, 25, 35, 55, 65 and 75 degrees of knee flexion. One half of the subjects in each group was tested at each angle in ascending order, while the other half was tested in descending order. The two orders of testing were randomly assigned and balanced over subjects with a matching procedure. Repeated-measures ANOVA with one between groups factor was used to determine if significant differences existed between the groups. Tukey's Honestly Significantly Different test was used to make pairwise comparisons between group means at each angle. Upon statistical analysis it was determined that no significant differences existed between the groups at each angle of measurement except at 75 degrees of knee flexion (p

Download or read book Effects of Instrument assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization on Isokinetic Knee Extensor Strength and Fatigue written by Daniel Romero and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strength is one characteristic that most athletes focus on improving as it is a critical element for success. It is believed that some micro-tearing of the muscle tissue occurs daily in routine activities and during regular exercise. Any restriction or imbalance within the musculoskeletal structure can affect optimal range of motion which then can affect the quality of force production, force application, and movement efficacy. Nontraditional treatments are beginning to be investigated to examine their effects on strength and a few techniques are slowly gaining popularity are the Graston Technique (GT) and Whole Body Vibration (WBV). Clinicians might apply the GT before practice or competition to break down adhesions to allow the muscle to function freely or use WBV to stimulate the neuromuscular system. However, the use of the GT or WBV may possibly leave the athlete susceptible to injury if strength is diminished in the process. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to address the potential acute effects of the GT and WBV on peak isokinetic torque and fatigue of the quadriceps during maximal voluntary contraction. The secondary purpose is to compare the individual effects between the GT and WBV on strength and fatigue following an acute exercise protocol. METHODS: Subjects were randomly selected into three groups: the GT, WBV and control. Each subject completed their group protocol a week after the pre-test. Peak isokinetic torque, total work and work fatigue values were collected pre-test and post-test using the Thorstennson protocol on the Biodex dynamometer 4.0. Following data collection, independent sample t-tests and a one-way ANOVA were performed on SPSS Statistics to analyze the data. RESULTS: Peak isokinetic torque and work fatigue decreased following each intervention. There was no significant difference between pre-test and post-test or between groups. Total work only increased in the GT but not significantly when compared to the WBV and control group. CONCLUSION: Based on the results, it is safe to assume that the GT and WBV is not better or worse than resting for 5 minutes before practice or competition when it comes to strength and fatigue.
Download or read book The Effects of a Resistance Training Program on Muscular Strength Range of Motion and Ankle brachial index in an Osteoarthritic Geriatric Population written by Katrina Jane Hall and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around 80% of people with osteoarthritis (OA) have some degree of movement limitation, which is one of the leading causes of disability in older adults (1,6). OA results in a decline in physical activity, functionality, cardiovascular function, quality of life, and an increase in joint pain (7,13,25). However, exercise has been found to improve many factors of OA. Muscular strength and neuromuscular function, range of motion (ROM), and possibly ankle-brachial-index (ABI) are factors that could be improved through exercise, especially resistance training (RT). The purpose of this study was to investigate the affects of a RT program on muscular strength, range of motion, and ankle-brachial-index in an osteoarthritic geriatric population. Fourteen older adults of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Senior Centers volunteered and were divided into two groups. Muscular strength was measured through manual muscle testing, ROM was measured through goniometry, and ABI was measured by taking systolic blood pressures in the arms and legs. All of the variables were measured before and after the intervention. The intervention group (n= 8) participated in resistance-training three days per week, which included five lower body machine weights, four ankle exercises with resistance bands, and three functional exercises. Both groups participated in twenty minutes of cardiovascular (CV) activity at an intensity determined by the six-minute walk test. The program was four weeks in length. No differences were observed between groups or across time for muscular strength, range or motion, and ABI. Linear least square analysis showed statistical significance in the relationship between change in hip abduction strength and ABI in all subjects (p= 0.03), and change in knee extensor strength and ABI in all subjects (p= 0.04). Trends towards significance was seen with changes in hip abductor strength (p= 0.6), knee extensor strength and interaction with ABI (p= 0.08), and hip abductor strength and interaction with ABI (p= 0.08) in intervention groups. More research is needed due to the low sample size, and short study duration. However, the current study suggests that a four-week resistance training program for the lower-body can possibly improve muscular strength, and possibly ABI.
