Electromyographic evaluation of specific elastic band exercises targeting neck and shoulder muscle activation
2020
Background: Specific strength training at a high intensity is effective in reducing work related neck/shoulder pain. However, it remains to be documented as to which exercises most specifically target neck and shoulder muscles at high activation level while using simple equipment as e.g., elastic bands. We hypothezised that selected exercises would specifically target the respective muscles, as follows: (1) shrugs and reverse flyes: the upper trapezius muscle, (2) cervical extension and lateral flexion: the upper neck extensor muscle, and (3) cervical flexion and rotation: the sternocleidomastoideus muscle. Methods: Eleven healthy males (25.9 ±

2022
Ar literatūras izpēti sākas jebkurš pētnieciskais darbs. (Albrehta, 1998, 9). Darba autore izvēlētajam darba tematam piemeklēja un aplūkoja daudzus literatūras avotus, lai sekmīgi veiktu pētījumu, kuri vienmēr balstās uz teorētiskiem uzskatiem, un kā tiks veikts arī šajā diplomdarbā. Darba autore 1. nodaļā veic teorētiskās literatūras analīzi, lai izzinātu noteiktā vecumposma (4-5 gadu jauna) bērna attīstības raksturojumu veselumā. 2.nodaļā autore pēta un analizē literatūru par runas traucējumu rašanās cēloņiem, izpausmēm un fonētisko traucējumu raksturojumu. Balstoties uz vairāku autoru darbiem, 3.nodaļā tika veikta izpēte par artikulācijas aparātu un tā vingrinājumiem, un artikulācijas ap…
Mamá Antula: la beata de los ejercicios espirituales desde la mirada de los jesuitas desterrados
2016
Resumen: Cuando en 1767 Carlos III expulsó a los jesuitas, una beata: Mª Antonia de San José, asumió la responsabilidad de continuar con la labor de estos religiosos, centrándose en la realización de los Ejercicios Espirituales al modo de San Ignacio por la Provincia de Paraguay. Analizamos aquí la influencia de estos jesuitas en su actividad misional y algunos de los comentarios que hicieron durante su exilio. Palabras clave: jesuitas, beata, ejercicios espirituales, destierro Abstract: When in 1767 Charles III of Spain expelled the Jesuits, a devout woman: Maria Antonia de San José, continued their work focusing on the realization of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises along the Province of …
Clinical Changes of Respiratory Parameters in Institutionalized Older Adults after a Physiotherapy Program Combining Respiratory and Musculoskeletal …
2022
Nowadays pulmonary diseases are an increasingly important cause of morbidity and mortality. Diaphragmatic breathing is a controlled-breathing technique that aims to optimize thoracoabdominal movements. The aim of this study was to apply a respiratory and musculoskeletal physiotherapy program in institutionalized older adults and to assess the effects on their pulmonary function tests and oxygen saturation. A randomized double-blind clinical trial was conducted with thirty institutionalized older adults, randomly assigned to a control group (CG), who conducted musculoskeletal exercises; or an experimental group (EG) who, in addition, carried out diaphragmatic breathing, administered for eigh…
Peripheral Nerve Responses to Muscle Stretching: A Systematic Review
2021
Stretching is commonly used to increase range of motion and flexibility. Therefore, investigations are usually oriented towards the muscle-tendon unit. Limited evidence exists regarding potential effects of stretching on peripheral nerves which lie within muscles. The objective of this investigation will be to elucidate the responses of peripheral nerves to stretching. A literature search was performed using the following databases: Scopus, NLM Pubmed and ScienceDirect. Studies regarding the effects of stretching protocols on responses of peripheral nerves were retrieved for investigation. The NHLBI tool was used for quality assessment. Outcomes included nerve stiffness, nerve displacement,…
Les exercices gradués dans la méthode du Grammalessico francese a uso degl’italiani d’Arminio Wurmbrand Bianchi
2020
L’article se propose d’analyser les exercices du manuel d’Arminio Wurmbrand Bianchi, Grammalessico francese a uso degl’italiani, qui ont une forme et une structure que l’on retrouve dans de nombreux manuels s’inspirant des méthodes dites « synthétiques ». Wurmbrand, en effet, introduit dans son manuel une nouveauté pour pourvoir au caractère incomplet de la méthode synthétique : il propose, ainsi, avant chaque exercice, la traduction des seuls termes « radicalement dissemblables » des deux langues « similaires à l’origine » qui caractérisent la langue française et la langue italienne. Le but est de fournir aux élèves la maîtrise lexicale de la langue française avec une attention toute parti…
The separation of grammar and vocabulary in Finnish secondary school EFL learning materials : encountering and learning new vocabulary in 7th-grade g…
2013
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää, tarjoavatko yläkoulun 7. luokan oppimateriaalien kielioppitehtävät oppilaille mahdollisuuden uusien sanojen oppimiseen tai omaksumiseen sisällyttämällä kielioppitehtäviin oppilaille entuudestaan tuntemattomia sanoja, vai onko kielioppitehtävien sanasto oppilaille entuudestaan tuttua. Jälkimmäisessä tapauksessa opeteltavan kielioppiasian tärkeys korostuu ja sanaston ja kieliopin erottaminen toisistaan oppimateriaalissa on selvästi nähtävissä. Aikaisemmat tutkimukset ovat osoittaneet sanastonosaamisen olevan ensiarvoisen tärkeää vieraan kielen hallitsemisessa ja painottaneet oppimateriaalien tärkeyttä sanastonoppimisessa. Lisäksi on havaittu, että useat…
Changes in neural drive to calf muscles during steady submaximal contractions after repeated static stretches
2021
Key points: Repeated static-stretching interventions consistently increase the range of motion about a joint and decrease total joint stiffness, but findings on the changes in muscle and connective-tissue properties are mixed. The influence of these stretch-induced changes on muscle function at submaximal forces is unknown. To address this gap in knowledge, the changes in neural drive to the plantar flexor muscles after a static-stretch intervention were estimated. Neural drive to the plantar flexor muscles during a low-force contraction increased after repeated static stretches. These findings suggest that adjustments in motor unit activity are necessary at low forces to accommodate reduct…
Analysis of Compliance with Time under Tension and Force during Strengthening Exercises with Elastic Bands
2021
Quantifying training variables of a physical exercise modality is essential for an appropriate dosage. In training with elastic bands, time under tension (TUT) and force represent the duration and intensity of this force-training modality. The aims of this study were to evaluate the degree of compliance to TUT prescription for three different scenarios of two exercises and the comparison of the force values obtained versus the estimate values. A total of 29 healthy volunteers were evaluated in a clinical environment under controlled conditions in 3 different scenarios (different velocities or ROMs) of both shoulder abduction and knee extension in 2 sets of 10 repetitions per scenario within…
