The effect of upper respiratory tract illness on exercise performance
… exercise performance during the recovery period. Endurance runners (n=29) were used for these studies and the athletes were monitored for 45 months. During this time the subjects ran an average of 40 kilometers/week. In the first study, 22 reports of symptoms (n=22) of URTI occurred during the …

Is Yang style Tai Chi a “one size fits all” fall prevention exercise program for older adults?
… times a week over eight weeks improved balance, muscle strength and muscle endurance. These findings suggest Yang style tai chi is moderately effective in reducing fall risk but further research is needed to determine the true effectiveness of tai chi as a fall prevention strategy. This study …

The epidemiology of injury and risk factors associated with injury in first league field hockey players
… recorded the flexibility (sit and reach test), muscle power (standing broad jump), speed (40 m sprint) and endurance capacities (double winder) of all the players. Male players performed significantly better in the muscle power (p=0.0001), speed (p=0.0001) and muscle endurance (p=0.0001) tests …

Effects of Whole-Body Vibration and Resistance Training in Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis
… (lean tissue, fat, bone mineral), limb muscle thickness, maximal muscle strength, muscle endurance, and balance. Repeated measures ANOVA showed a group x time interaction for balance (p<0.05). Post-hoc analyses indicated that WBV improved balance after 6 and 12 weeks of training …

An Investigation of Musculoskeletal Imbalances in the Thoracic and Cervical Regions, with Respect to an Improved Diagnostic Approach for Upper Crossed Syndrome
UCS is described as a muscle imbalance pattern located within the cervical and thoracic spine region. These imbalances have been shown to produce elevation and forward movement of the shoulders, winging of the scapula, and a forward extension of the head. These changes, in turn, lead to overstress …
