Effect of low-load hamstring strength training on the H/Q ratio and electromyographic activity in various gymnastic actions in young aesthetic group …

2013

Muscle balance is an important factor for decreasing injury risks among sports, as weak ago-nist-antagonist strength ratio may predispose to injuries. Hamstring-to-quadriceps (H/Q) strength ratio has been studied in several sports in order to describe the muscular balance of thighs. During pubertal longitudinal growth, hamstrings may be weaker due to the mechanical stress of growth. As both hamstring flexibility and knee extension strength are important for aesthetic group gymnastics (AGG), the H/Q strength ratio might be expected to be low among this sport. Describing muscle activation patterns of hamstrings and quadriceps femoris in AGG actions is efficient for determining the H and Q act…

Obesity as a predictor of falls among older women

2012

In older people’s falls often lead to hospitalisation and lengthy recovery in health care institutions and this may be conducive to financial strain on health care systems. The propensity or risk of falling rises as the individual gets older and frailer. Fear of falling, previous history of falling, poor mobility, limitations in Activities of Daily Living (ADL), side effects of medications, hazardous environment, poor vision and hearing, poor postural balance and gaits impairment are among the frequent factors that give rise to falls amongst older people. However, studies focused on obesity as a risk factor for falls are rarer. The aim of this study was to find out whether obesity increases…

Postural balance and aging : cross-sectional comparative studies and a balance training intervention

2004

Sanna Sihvonen tutki väitöskirjatyössään eri-ikäisten henkilöitten tasapainoa ja yksilöllisen näköpalautteeseen perustuvan tasapainoharjoittelun vaikuttavuutta ikääntyneillä palvelukodissa asuvilla naisilla. Sihvonen havaitsi eri-ikäisten tasapainokyvyssä eroja. Näköpalautteeseen perustuva harjoittelu osoittautui lupaavaksi kuntoutusmuodoksi tasapainon parantamisessa ja kaatumisten ehkäisyssä iäkkäillä palvelukodissa asuvilla naisilla.Tasapainon hallinta vaikuttaa olennaisesti ikääntyneen henkilön kykyyn suoriutua itsenäisesti jokapäiväisistä toiminnoista. Tasapainoon liittyvät ongelmat ovat ikääntyneiden keskuudessa yleisiä ja ne ovat eräs kaatumistapaturmien keskeinen taustatekijä. Viime …

Leisure-time physical activity, body mass index, and waist circumreference : a longitudinal twin study from adolescence to adulthood

2010

ABSTRACT LEISURE-TIME PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, BODY MASS INDEX, AND WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE: A LONGITUDINAL TWIN STUDY FROM ADOLESCENCE TO ADULTHOOD Minna Kujala Master’s Thesis of Sport Medicine The University of Jyväskylä The Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences Department of Health Sciences 2010 Pages: 54, 8 appendixes The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of persistence and changes in the frequency of leisure- time physical activity on body mass index and waist circumference from adolescence to adulthood. Also, this study investigates the effect of the intensity of physical activity on body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference in adulthood. Participants in the study, members of…
