Immediate effects of the respiratory stimulation on ventilation parameters in ischemic stroke survivors: A randomized interventional study (CONSORT).
2019
Background: Post-stroke brain damage, which affects the central control of respiration, leads to various respiratory disorders. They can be caused by the weakening of the respiratory muscles and chest movements, which can indirectly contribute to an impairment of the ventilation function. The aim of the study is an objective assessment of the effect of a single-session intervention of respiratory stimulation through Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) on chosen respiratory parameters and the following comparison of these changes with a group in which positioning was used (intra- and intergroup comparison). Methods: This was a randomized interventional study evaluating the respir…
The Relation Between Stretching Typology and Stretching Duration: The Effects on Range of Motion.
2018
AbstractDifferent stretching strategies and protocols are widely used to improve flexibility or maintain health, acting on the muscle tendon-unit, in order to improve the range of motion (ROM) of the joints. This review aims to evaluate the current body of literature in order to understand the relation between stretching typology and ROM, and secondly to evaluate if a relation exists between stretching volume (either as a single training session, weekly training and weekly frequency) and ROM, after long-term stretching. Twenty-three articles were considered eligible and included in the quantitative synthesis. All stretching typologies showed ROM improvements over a long-term period, however…
The Effect of Music on Movement Perception: Synchresis in Hits for HIIT
2021
Hits for HIIT consists in a research-creation project aiming to produce both musical pieces and training exercises for, on the one hand, optimizing HIIT practice and, on the other, enriching scholarly research on the relations between music and sports. These questions and their related studies have highlighted music/movement relations and the way they are perceived. In this paper we would like to outline how we attempt to build a two-way dialogue between the production of music adapted to HIIT and the design of workouts based on the music.
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 ±

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

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…
Adult EFL learners : views of exercises in coursebook
2013
Oppikirjoilla on keskeinen rooli vieraiden kielten opetuksessa ja oppimisessa. Aiemmin englannin oppikirjoja ovat arvioineet lähinnä tutkijat. Joissakin tutkimuksissa on myös tuotu esille opettajien ja oppilaiden mielipiteitä englannin oppikirjoista. Harvat tutkimukset ovat kuitenkaan keskittyneet oppikirjojen arviointiin aikuisopiskelijoiden näkökulmasta tai pelkästään arvioimaan oppikirjojen tehtäviä. Tämän kandidaatintutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää englannin aikuisopiskelijoiden mielipiteitä heidän oppikirjansa English for you, too! 3 tehtävistä. Lisäksi tavoitteena oli saada selville millaisista tehtävätyypeistä aikuisopiskelijat pitävät eniten. Kyselytutkimukseen osallistui kolm…
