BACKGROUND Home exercise programmes and exercise programmes carried out in a clinical setting are commonly advocated for the treatment of lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET), a very common lesion of the arm with a well-defined clinical presentation. The aim of this study is to describe the use and effects of strengthening and stretching exercise programmes in the treatment of LET. ECCENTRIC EXER...

[Purpose] The present study was conducted to investigate whether ankle proprioceptive exercise affects static and dynamic balance in normal adults. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-eight normal adults were recruited to measure their static and dynamic balancing before and after the proprioceptive exercise. A subject stood with bare feet on the round supporting platform of the device for measuring ...

We have reported that baroreflex bradycardia by stimulation of the aortic depressor nerve is blunted at the onset of voluntary static exercise in conscious cats. Central command may contribute to the blunted bradycardia, because the most blunted bradycardia occurs immediately before exercise or when a forelimb is extended before force development. However, it remained unknown whether the blunte...

Introduction: Delayed onset muscle soreness is known, muscle pain, soreness and discomfort feeling approximately 24-48 hours after exercise. The increased serum biochemical enzymes after acute exercise or unaccustomed training were reported in some studies. The main purpose of this study was to search the effect of warm-up before eccentric contractions on DOMS, biochemical enzymes changes and N...

This study was conducted to identify the effects of a fall-prevention exercise program on the participation and static balance of elderly persons in daily life roles. [Subjects] Ten participants over 65 years of age (75.29±2.93) who were healthy community-dwellers (two men and eight women) were recruited. [Methods] The participants exercised three times a week for eight weeks. The exercise prog...

ANYONE with a stethoscope, a sphyg-momanometer, and an open mind can readily satisfy himself that static effort or "isometrics" may raise the blood pressure to high levels. Yet, isometrics, as a form of exercise intended as a means of attaining physical fitness, has been urged on the population at large. A recognition of the fact that the obese, the infirm, and the aged are unlikely to commence...

The circulatory responses to sustained handgrip at 30 per cent of a maximum voluntary contraction of the forearm muscles (MVC) were examined in untreated hypertensive patients. Arterial pressure increased in all patients, often attaining very high levels. Two main patterns of circulatory response were observed. In group i (8 patients) there was an increase in cardiac index and heart rate, with ...
