STUDIES ON MUSCULAR STRENGTH-MYOGRAM (MSMG)

Muscular strength and physical function.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential association of muscular strength and endurance at baseline with the prevalence of functional limitations at follow-up. METHODS Study participants were 3,069 men and 589 women (30-82 yr) who received a clinical examination including a strength evaluation at the Cooper Clinic between 1980 and 1989 and responded to a 1990 mail-back ...

Enzymological studies on hereditary avian muscular dystrophy.

White and red muscles of normal and genetically dystrophic chickens were compared with regards to activity levels of three soluble enzymes, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, and acetyl phosphatase. In dystrophic white muscle (pectoral), activity of the two sulfhydryl enzymes, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase, was preferentially ...

Correlates to Performance on Field Tests of Muscular Strength

Muscular Strength Training Effects on Aerobic Endurance Performance, a Review

Pate and Kriska (1984) have described a model that incorporates the three major factors that account for interindividual variance in aerobic endurance performance, namely maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), anaerobic or lactate threshold (LT) and work economy (C). Numerous published studies support the model and thus, the model should serve as a useful framework for the comprehensive study of stren...

Effect of Lumbar Progressive Resistance Exercise on Lumbar Muscular Strength and Core Muscular Endurance in Soldiers.

OBJECTIVES Low back pain is common, costly, and disabling for active duty military personnel and veterans. The evidence is unclear on which management approaches are most effective. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of lumbar extensor high-intensity progressive resistance exercise (HIPRE) training versus control on improving lumbar extension muscular strength and core mu...
