  1. 1. Comparison of muscle oxygen kinetics between occluded and non-occluded dynamic low-intensity exercise performed till failure : A quantitative study

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Avdelningen för fysioterapi

    Author : Natalie Smith; Josefine Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : venous occlusion; muscle oxygenation kinetics; blood flow restricted exercise; ischemia; exercise failure; low-intensity strength training; Near-infrared spectroscopy;

    Abstract : Aim: To examine local muscle oxygen kinetics when performing wrist extensions till failure in an occluded versus non-occluded state, to compare the perceived ratings of pain and local muscle exertion, and analysing presence of gender differences. Methods: Twenty-one healthy individuals (mean age 25,6±3. READ MORE

  2. 2. Oral contraceptive phases and performance : Strength, anaerobic capacity, and lactate responce

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Isa Rönneblad; Elsa Ohrås; [2023]
    Keywords : Performance; oral contraceptive; contraception; Wingate; IMTP; anaerobic capacity; strength; percieved energy level; lactate; prestation; p-piller; preventionsmedel; anaerob förmåga; styrka; upplevd energinivå; laktat;

    Abstract : Background: Oral contraceptives are common among female athletes. Still, its effects on athletic performance are poorly investigated. Research in the area has increased in recent years. However, the study qualities and designs are often insufficient and with small sample sizes. READ MORE

  3. 3. Associations Between Fat Free Mass Percentage and Relative Force Production in Two Strength Tests

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Stefan Gerenmark; Viktor Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Fat free mass; Strength; Association; Hypertrophy; Body composition; Strength test; IMTP; Grip strength; Muscle mass; Force production; Exercise physiology; Biomedicine;

    Abstract : Background: Knowledge of the relationship between fat free mass (FFM) and strength capacity is not only useful in athlete coaching, but may also be important in developing clinical strategies for evaluating health in general populations. Sufficient skeletal muscle mass and strength are important factors for health and physical function. READ MORE

  4. 4. PHYSIOTHERAPY EXERCISE INTERVENTIONS INCLUDING PATIENT EDUCATION FOR ADULT AND ADOLESCENT ATHLETES WITH PATELLOFEMORAL PAIN SYNDROME

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för hälsa, vård och välfärd

    Author : AKASH JOSE; [2021]
    Keywords : Behavioural medicine intervention; Patellofemoral pain syndrome; patient education; physiotherapy exercise interventions;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is commonly seen in athletes and common symptoms are for example pain and stiffness, and difficulty in climbing stairs. Physiotherapy exercise interventions aim to increase the range of motion, strength, knee stability, balance, and functional ability. READ MORE

  5. 5. ACL reconstruction with a hamstring graft, can a forced foot dorsiflexion alter isokinetic knee flexion performance - a pilot study

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Hälsa och rehabilitering

    Author : Kristoffer Lindbäck; [2019]
    Keywords : Biodex; EMG; Gastrocnemius; Knee flexion; Muscle activation;

    Abstract : Abstract Introduction: The prevalence of anterior cruciate ligament tear is around 7000 every year within the swedish population and 95% of reconstructive surgery was with a hamstring tendon graft. Six months post surgery a 13% decrease in knee flexion strength compared to non injured side. READ MORE
