Bilaterale Acetabulumfrakturen der vorderen Pfeiler und Wirbelkörperfraktur nach alkoholinduziertem Krampfanfall
1996
The case of a 54-year-old male with a compression fracture of the T 12 vertebral body and a bilateral anterior column fracture of the acetabulum is presented. The origin of this rare combination of fractures is explained by the action of the patient's own muscle force on bone of very poor quality. The treatment of these lesions is comparable to the treatment of similar fractures in bone of normal quality.
LONGITUDINAL TRACKING OF MUSCULAR POWER CHANGES OF NCAA DIVISION I COLLEGIATE WOMEN GYMNASTS
2004
Gymnastics relies upon power as a critical component of sports-specific fitness. The purpose of this study was to monitor long-term training adaptations in the power of National Collegiate Athletics Association Division I women gymnasts. Twenty members of a women's gymnastic team (aged 18-22) were tracked over 3 years with the first year a baseline year of testing. Whole body power for the counter-movement (CMJ) and squat (SJ) vertical jump was obtained via force plate analyses at 2 assessment time points during each year (February and November). Results showed significant (p < or = 0.05) and continued increases in peak power output in the CMJ and SJ at each biannual assessment. Improvement…
REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN BICEPS FEMORIS FASCICLE LENGTH AND PENNATION ANGLE AFTER A SIMULATED SOCCER MATCH
2017
Background Hamstring Strain Injuries (HSIs) represent 12% of all injuries in soccer players, and their incidence has increased in recent years. Between 53%-84% of HSIs involve the Biceps femoris muscle (BF). Recent studies have shown that soccer players with shorter BF fascicle length (FL) suffer more HSIs and exhibit regional differences in FL and pennation angle (PA) along BF. It is unclear whether there is any regional difference in the degree of change of these parameters after a soccer match. Objective Describe changes in BF muscle architecture after a simulated soccer match. Design Controlled laboratory study. Pre and Post single session. Setting Laboratory. Amateur Level. Participant…
Resistance exercise-induced hormonal response under the influence of delayed onset muscle soreness in men and boys
2010
It was hypothesized that exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD)-related alterations in hormonal responses could be observed if a second exercise bout is performed soon after an identical unaccustomed bout leading to delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Eight men (31 ± 7 years) and eight boys (14 ± 0 years) performed two exercise bouts (E1 and E2, with 48 h rest in between) consisting of three sets of bilateral knee extensions until exhaustion with 40% load. No differences between the groups or bouts were observed in the number of repetitions performed and maximal isometric force decline, or between groups in serum creatine kinase activity and DOMS. Decreased peak epinephrine (EPI) (-38%), g…
Exercise in type 2 diabetes: The mechanisms of resistance and endurance training
2012
This highlight article focuses on the effects of different types of exercise on the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes and on future challenges in developing effective preventive strategies. 1.Current prevalence of diabetes in China Cardiovascular diseases have become the leading cause of death in China.Diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and the rapid change in lifestyle is the main reason for the increased risk for cardiovascular diseases in China.The China
Physical activity compensates for increased mortality risk among older people with poor muscle strength
2006
The aim of the study was to determine whether habitual physical activity can compensate for the increased mortality risk among older people with poor muscle strength. Mortality was followed up for 10 years after laboratory examination in 558 community dwelling 75- and 80-year-old men and women. Maximal isometric strength of five muscle groups was measured and tertile cut-off points were used to categorize participants. Participants, who reported moderate physical activity for at least 4 h a week, were categorized as physically active and the others as sedentary. High muscle strength and physical activity both protected from mortality, but their effect was not additive. Within each muscle st…
Physical activity on days with and without soccer practice in 12-13-year-old boys
2019
Introduction: Majority of children are unable to meet the recommended 60min of daily moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Even participation into organized sport may not guarantee that recommended amount of activity is reached. Objectives: Purpose of this study was to examine the amount and intensity of physical activity (PA) on days with and without practices and to find out whether daytime PA preceding soccer practice is associated with certain practice-time PA intensity level. Methods: Daily light, moderate and vigorous PA of 18 boys between 12 and 13 years of age engaged in soccer was measured for 9 days with and without soccer practices with wrist-worn Polar A300 activity met…
Fundamental movement skills and physical fitness as predictors of physical activity: A 6-year follow-up study
2015
The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which fundamental movement skills and physical fitness scores assessed in early adolescence predict self-reported physical activity assessed 6 years later. The sample comprised 333 (200 girls, 133 boys; M age = 12.41) students. The effects of previous physical activity, sex, and body mass index (BMI) were controlled in the main analyses. Adolescents’ fundamental movement skills, physical fitness, self-report physical activity, and BMI were collected at baseline, and their self-report energy expenditure (metabolic equivalents: METs) and intensity of physical activity were collected using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire …

Evidence on the benefits of exercise therapy for chronic diseases based on randomised controlled trials is accumulating
Hemofilia: ejercicio y deporte
2011
El ejercicio físico y el deporte constituyen uno de los pilares básicos en el tratamiento de la hemofilia. Este trabajo describe un resumen de las características de la hemofilia y, a través de una exhaustiva revisión bibliográfica, se analiza la importancia de la condición física, en relación con la prevención y el tratamiento de las lesiones musculoesqueléticas en el paciente hemofílico. La hemofilia es una enfermedad hematológica hereditaria, con lesiones ortopédicas características. Afecta a individuos varones y presenta un déficit de factores de la coagulación que provoca hemorragias incluso espontáneas (en pacientes graves sin tratamiento). Las lesiones más frecuentes son: hemartrosis…
