Electrical train stimulation to assess exercise associated muscle cramp
… reported to induce cramp in the small flexor muscles of the foot, and a relationship exists between the threshold frequency (TF) of ETS to induce cramp and muscle cramp susceptibility. The use of ETS to induce muscle cramp in the calf muscles however may be challenging, and the test-retest …

Neuromuscular fatigue following a singles badminton match
… extensors, and muscle soreness of knee extensor muscles by a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS) were measured before, immediately (8 - 10 min post-match), 1-h and 24-h after a match. Pearson product-moment correlations were computed to examine relationships between variables using ANOVA.Average (± …

Effects of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on symptoms associated with eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage
Unaccustomed exercise consisting of eccentric contractions induces muscle damage that is characterised by muscle weakness, soreness, swelling and increased muscle stiffness. These symptoms affect daily activities and athletic performance; therefore, interventions to attenuate the symptoms and …

Monitoring neuromuscular fatigue in high performance athletes
With improving professionalism of sports around the world, the volume and frequency of training required for competitive performances at the elite level has increased concurrently. With this amplification in training load comes an increased need to closely monitor the associated fatigue responses, …

The Effects of Frequent Smartphone Use on Children’s Upper Posture and Pulmonary Function
… (MEP) were measured to assess respiratory muscles’ strength. A significant difference in CVA measures was found between both groups; girls (p=0.02) and boys (p=0.03). Cervical ROM in extension was limited in addicted boys (p=0.04). Also, in addicted boys, FVC and FEV1 were significantly …

Pain assessment and possible mechanism of delayed onset muscle soreness
Muscle pain is felt during exercise or daily activities for several days after performing unaccustomed exercise, which is referred to as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Many people experience DOMS, but its underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. One of the challenges in the …

Detection of muscle damage by B-mode ultrasonography : relationship between echo intensity and histological changes following injection of bupivacaine to rat hind limb muscles
… of mononuclear cells, into rat hind limb muscles. This study was approved by the Institutional Animal Research Ethics Committee. BPVC (0.5 % of 0.5 ml) or saline (0.9 % NaCl of 0.5 ml) was injected to the tibialis anterior muscle (TA) of 14-19 wk male Wistar rats (n=12). Ultrasound images …

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness in People with Diabetes; Biomarkers and Nutritional Supplementation
… be a valuable technique for identifying which muscles are sore after exercising. Thus, thermal imaging would be an efficient and painless way of quantifying DOMS in both healthy individuals and in people with diabetes. Furthermore, this investigation showed that BCAA significantly reduced …

Effect of vibration treatment on symptoms associated with eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage [thesis]
Unaccustomed eccentric exercise results in delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOMS), loss of muscle strength, reduced range of motion (ROM) and swelling. Vibration treatment has been used in physiotherapy to reduce pain and oedema, and to facilitate the repair of injured tissue. This study tested …

Force And Electromyographic Responses To Ergometer Rowing
During many athletic events, fatigue influences the physiological and biomechanical characteristics of performance. For optimal performance in events such as rowing, athletes must maintain a skilfully co-ordinated movement technique. The ability to produce high force outputs during repetitive …
