ABSTRACT Introduction Dynamic stretching is a particular form of training. Currently, there little research in academia about dynamic sports dancing. Objective Explore the role functional training dance sports. Methods 60 dancers with history ankle injuries were randomly divided into control and experimental group. All performed protocol twice week, lasting 45 minutes, for eight weeks. A sessio...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of three 12-month training programmes on headache and upper extremity pain in patients with chronic neck pain. METHODS A total of 180 female office workers, with chronic, non-specific neck pain were randomly assigned to 3 groups. The strength group performed isometric, dynamic and stretching exercises. The endurance group performed dynamic muscle and stretchi...

Supercooled liquids are proposed to be dynamically heterogeneous, with regions exhibiting relaxation time scales that vary in space and time. Measurement of the distribution of such time scales could be an important test of various proposed theories of vitrification. Single molecule fluorescence experiments attempt to uncover this distribution, typically by embedding single molecule probes into...

stretching is an ancient method of treating soft tissue structures amongst the historical cultures. this method, in addition to other manual techniques such as, massage and manipulation has been taught in ancient medicine. nowadays, a wide range of studies have been performed to reveal the effects of this manual method on different muscle groups in patients, as well as healthy athlete subjects....

The purpose of the present study was to clarify the effect of static stretching on muscular performance during concentric isotonic (dynamic constant external resistance [DCER]) muscle actions under various loads. Concentric DCER leg extension power outputs were assessed in 12 healthy male subjects after 2 types of pretreatment. The pretreatments included (a) static stretching treatment performi...

To study early reorganization of the cytoskeleton in response to physical forces, human gingival and periodontal ligament fibroblasts were cultured on flexible plastic substrata and stretched by mechanical deformation of the substratum. F-actin was measured by quantitative spectrofluorimetry of FITC-phalloidin-stained cells. Fluorescence due to FITC-phalloidin was reduced stoichiometrically by ...

In this paper, nonlinear dynamic behaviour of the carbon nanotube conveying fluid in slip boundary conditions is studied using the variation iteration method. The developed solutions are used to investigate the effects of various parameters on the nonlinear vibration of the nanotube. The results indicate that an increase in the slip parameter leads to a decrease in the frequency of vibration an...

abstract background: restless leg syndrome prevalence is high among the patients undergoing hemodialysis. due to several side effects of medicational treatments, the patients prefer non-medicational methods. therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of two methods of reflexology and stretching exercises on the severity of restless leg syndrome among patients undergoing hemod...
