Rehabilitation Exercises for Athletes With Biceps Disorders and SLAP Lesions a Continuum of Exercises With Increasing Loads on the Biceps (2014)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
The authors of the presently examined study sought to determine which exercises placed the most tension on the biceps brachii (BB) and other shoulder muscles to better inform rehabilitation for those with long head biceps and/ or superior labral pathology. The EMG activity of the biceps and other shoulder muscles was recorded with surface electromyography […]

Gluteus Maximus Activation During Common Strength and Hypertrophy Exercises: A Systematic Review (2020)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
The authors of the presently examined study sought to determine which exercises were most effective for increasing the activation of the gluteus maximus (GMax). Exercises were defined as low level (0-20%), moderate level (21 -40%), high level (41-60%) and very high level (>60%) for the purpose of the systematic review. A systematic review was conducted […]

Does Exercise Increase Vestibular and Ocular Motor Symptom Detection After Sport-Related Concussion? (2021)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
The Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) is an outcome measure commonly used for individuals after concussion. The VOMS uses eye movement and body movement to detect symptoms related to dizziness, fogginess, headache, and nausea. Normally the test is performed at rest for a patient after concussion. The researchers in this article suggested that because many individuals […]

Abdominal Muscle Activation: An EMG Study of the Sahrmann Five-Level Core Stability Test (2020)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
Researches from Malaysia selected twenty two asymptomatic males in their twenties to participate in the study. The researchers selected only individuals who showed no signs of acute low back pain and had an average waist circumference. Subjects were hooked up to wireless EMG electrodes on one the right side of their body. One electrode was […]

Effects of Aerobic and Resistance Exercise in Older Adults with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2018)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
A total of 1028 subjects were assessed for eligibility in the trial. Screening included a phone interview where participants were excluded if they didn’t meet inclusion criteria or met exclusion criteria, such as disease preventing moderate intensity exercise. Subjects who met the inclusion criteria had RA, were aged 65 years or older, had the disease […]

Proximal, Distal, and Contralateral Effects of Blood Flow Restriction Training on the Lower Extremities: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2017)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
The authors of the presently examined study sought to determine if BFRT impacts muscles above the cuff (instead of just below) and if it resulted in muscle growth in the limb contralateral to the cuff. Participants were healthy subjects aged 20 to 40 years old. All were recreational level athletes who were healthy; they were […]

Velocity Loss as a Critical Variable Determining the Adaptations to Strength Training (2020)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
There are many ways to monitor the intensity of a training set such as subjective level of effort or percentage of 1 repetition maximum (1RM). Monitoring movement speed during resistance training is a relatively new way to monitor exercise intensity and to theoretically maximize adaptation by stopping the set once the appropriate level of fatigue […]

Run Clever – No Difference in Risk of Injury When Comparing Progression in Running Volume and Running Intensity in Recreational Runners: A Randomised Trial (2018)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
The optimal way to progress running to keep injury rates low is unknown, and the authors of the Run Clever Trial sought to determine if progressing intensity or volume is better for reducing the rate of injury. They hypothesized that progressing by intensity would increase the rate of injury by 15% more compared to those […]

Effect of Number of Sprints in an SIT Session on Change in VO2max: A Meta-Analysis (2017)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
The authors attempted to identify all studies that have examined changes in VO2max after a period of at least 2 weeks of training consisting of repeated all out sprints ranging from 10-30 seconds in length to determine the minimal necessary and optimal dose for promoting adaptation. Electronic databases were searched for relevant available records up […]

Return to Recreational Sporting Activities Following Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (2018)

January 17, 2022 by Megan Berg.
The final study population consisted of 165 patients with a mean age of 64 years (range, 18-82 years) and a mean follow-up of 3.7 years (range, 2-10 years). Pre and post-operative measurements included: the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score; Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand; Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score; 12-item Short […]
