Current scientific evidence suggests that sport-specific heavy strength training could be successfully included in elite endurance athletes’ training program. In fact, positive effects of short-term interventions, without any negative side-effects, have been shown repeatedly. However, there is a lack of long-term studies investigating the concurrent development of strength and endurance capacit...

objectives: the aim of this study was to examine the effects of consecutively supervised core stability training on postural control and functional disability in female patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. methods: twenty nine female participants with non-specific chronic low back pain participated in the study. they were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group (10 day...

BACKGROUND Atraumatic lower limb amputation is a life-changing event for approximately 185,000 persons in the United States each year. A unilateral amputation is associated with rapid changes to the musculoskeletal system including leg and back muscle atrophy, strength loss, gait asymmetries, differential mechanical joint loading and leg length discrepancies. Even with high-quality medical care...

OBJECTIVE To test whether knee stabilization therapy, prior to strength/functional training, may have added value in reducing activity limitations only in patients with knee osteoarthritis who have knee instability and (i) low upper leg muscle strength, (ii) impaired knee proprioception, (iii) high knee laxity, or (iv) frequent episodes of knee instability. DESIGN Subgroup analyses in a rando...

Heats of thermal denaturation of chromatin core particles and core particles with covalently crosslinked histones were measured by differential scanning calorimetry. The additional stabilization of the nucleoprotein complex by crosslinking is not reflected in the transition enthalpy. The contribution of protein denaturation to the total heat was estimated by comparison of core particles with co...

UNLABELLED Pregnancy related pelvic pain (PRPP) refers to musculoskeletal type of persistent posterior pelvic pain during and after pregnancy with feature of reduced endurance capacity for standing, walking and sitting which leads to severe discomfort and considerable impairment of daily activities. OBJECTIVE To test the effect of pressure biofeedback stabilizer training, on the pain and dysf...
