Grahn, DA, Cao, VH, Nguyen, CM, Liu, MT, and Heller, HC. Work volume and strength training responses to resistive exercise improve with periodic heat extraction from the palm. J Strength Cond Res 26(9): 2558–2569, 2012—Body core cooling via the palm of a hand increases work volume during resistive exercise. We asked: (a) ‘‘Is there a correlation between elevated core temperatures and fatigue on...

BACKGROUND Exercise is frequently suggested as a treatment option for patients presenting with symptoms of subacromial impingement syndrome. Some would argue implementing a specific exercise strategy with special focus on correction of kinematic deficits would be superior to general exercise strategy. There is however a lack of evidence comparing such exercise strategies to determine which is t...

Bed rest results in marked vascular adaptations, and resistive vibration exercise (RVE) has been shown to be an effective countermeasure. As vibration exercise has practical and logistical limitations, the use of resistive exercise (RES) alone has the preference under specific circumstances. However, it is unknown if RES is sufficient to prevent vascular adaptations to bed rest. Therefore, the ...

There is a scarcity of research on whole body vibration exercise and resistance exercise as a combined program for children and adolescents with type I Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). Type I OI is the mildest and most common form, characterized by mild to moderate fragility without bone deformity. The goal of treatment when working with people with Type I OI is to reduce the risk of fractures pri...

BACKGROUND HIV is increasingly considered a chronic illness. More individuals are living longer and aging with the health-related consequences associated with HIV and multi-morbidity. Exercise is a self-management approach that can promote health for people aging with HIV. We examined the safety and effectiveness of progressive resistive exercise (PRE) interventions on immunological, virologica...

It is not known whether the high total work of breathing (WOB) in exercising women is higher due to differences in the resistive or elastic WOB. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to determine which factors contribute to the higher total WOB during exercise in women. We performed a comprehensive analysis of previous data from 16 endurance-trained subjects (8 men and 8 women) that underw...

background: resistive inspiratory muscle training (rimt) is a well-known technique for rehabilitation of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd). incentive spirometry is another technique with potential viability for this application, but there is limited evidence in support of its efficacy in the rehabilitation of copd patients. aim: the objective of this study was to compar...

INTRODUCTION An interim resistance exercise device (iRED) was designed to provide resistive exercise as a countermeasure to spaceflight-induced loss of muscle strength and endurance as well as decreased bone mineral density. The purpose of this project was to compare foot-ground reaction force during iRED exercise in normal gravity (1 G) vs. microgravity (0 G) achieved during parabolic flight. ...

The impact of prolonged bed rest on the cervical and upper thoracic spine is unknown. In the 2nd Berlin BedRest Study (BBR2-2), 24 male subjects underwent 60-day bed rest and performed either no exercise, resistive exercise, or resistive exercise with whole body vibration. Subjects were followed for 2 yr after bed rest. On axial cervical magnetic resonance images from the skull to T3, the volum...

Resistive static contraction facilitation technique applied by manual resistance using a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation patternin the mid-range pelvic posterior depression technique(RSCPDT) or anterior elevation technique (RSCAET) with the subject on the affected side produces greater increase in range of motion of remote parts.However, few studies have providedevidences for neurophy...
