conclusions the eo muscle was thinner and had higher activity during adim in the ais group. analysis of our data showed that in the ais group the higher the lumbar spinal curve to the right, the thicker the right tra compared to the left tra. results there was no side to side asymmetry in muscle thickness at rest and also during adim in two groups. thickness of right eo [0.39 (0.09) in the ais ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a change in the sequence of concurrent endurance and strength training on aerobic power and body composition of active men. 30 men (mean age 25.8 ± 3.50 years) with endurance and strength training history were divided into these groups: endurance training before strength training (es, n=10), strength training before endurance training (se, ...

the subjective of this study was to explore and compare the effects of whole body vibration (wbv) and conventional spinal stabilization exercises on persons with non-specific chronic low back pain (clbp). thirty patients with non-specific chronic low back pain randomly received 6 sessions of spinal stabilization therapy with and without whole body vibration over 2 weeks. the severity of pain, f...

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between systemic inflammatory mediators and peripheral muscle mass and strength in COPD patients. Fifty-five patients (69% male; age: 64±9 years) with mild/very severe COPD (defined as forced expiratory volume in the first second [FEV1] =54%±23%) were evaluated. We evaluated serum concentrations of IL-8, CRP, and TNF-α. Peripheral muscle ...

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the symmetry of the isometric strength of the shoulder and scapulothoracic muscles in volleyball and futsal athletes. Methods: In this case-control study, the strength of the scapulothoracic muscles and rotation of the shoulders in 20 adult volleyball athletes and 20 futsal adult athletes, who were randomly selected from sports clubs around Tehran, were me...

Deconditioning of the core muscles, including abdominal and pelvic floor muscles (PFM), increases predisposition to injury, incontinence, sexual dysfunction diminishes quality life. As a monotherapy, HIFEM effectively strengthens PFM and, in synergy with radiofrequency (RF), fortifies muscles. Thus this study aimed investigate effectiveness treatments on improvement muscle strength

Pharyngeal muscles are prone to distorsion during inspiratory negative pressure. Some pharyngeal muscles, called pharyngeal dilatators, exhibit tonic and/or phasic inspiratory activity. At the velar level, tensor palatini, glossopharyngeus, palatopharyngeus and musculus uvula drive the airflow towards nasal or buccal breathing. Genioglossus and geniohyoid muscles exert a forward propulsion to t...
