The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriateness of using an elastic hamstring assistance device to reduce perceived levels of soreness, increase isometric strength, increase passive range of motion, and decrease biomarkers of muscle damage after eccentric exercise, specifically, downhill running This study was conducted in a university exercise physiology laboratory placing sixte...

25 Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy is accompanied by disturbances in retinal blood flow 26 which is assumed to be related to the diabetic metabolic dysregulation. It has previously 27 been shown that normoinsulinemic hyperglycemia has no effect on the diameter of retinal 28 arterioles at rest and during an increase in the arterial blood pressure induced by isometric 29 exercise. However, the...

Diabetic retinopathy is accompanied by disturbances in retinal blood flow, which is assumed to be related to the diabetic metabolic dysregulation. It has previously been shown that normoinsulinemic hyperglycemia has no effect on the diameter of retinal arterioles at rest and during an increase in the arterial blood pressure induced by isometric exercise. However, the influence of hyperinsulinem...

Aims: Active and progressive resistance training has a key role in functional recovery and quality of life in patients with MS. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of isotonic and isometric exercises on balance and ability in patients with MS. Materials & Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 60 patients with MS admitted to MS Special Diseases Center in Yasuj during 20...

The objective of this study was to evaluate cardiac autonomic control and muscle vasodilation response during isometric exercise in sedentary and physically active older adults. Twenty healthy participants, 10 sedentary and 10 physically active older adults, were evaluated and paired by gender, age, and body mass index. Sympathetic and parasympathetic cardiac activity (spectral and symbolic hea...

Background: Balance in stroke patients because of damage to muscles and control centers of the body are disrupted. Aim: To determine the effect of combined isometric and isotonic exercises on brain stroke patients’ static balance. Method: In this clinical trial, 30 male patients with brain stroke were randomly allocated to one of experimental or control groups. An 8-week combined isometric and ...

  Background: The aim of this study was to investigate muscle damage indicators and electromyography activities of quadriceps muscles at 25° of hip flexion in untrained healthy females after an eccentric exercise induced muscle fiber damage.   Methods : A total of 14 healthy females participated in this pre-experimental study. The subjects performed maximal eccentric quadriceps contractions at ...

Blood was collected simultaneously from the left ventricle and pulmonary artery in 12 patients undergoing routine cardiac catheterisation and was analysed for noradrenaline concentrations at rest, during, and after isometric stress (hand grip). Moderate isometric exercise resulted in a significant rise in plasma noradrenaline with a return to basal values 10 minutes after discontinuing the grip...

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries in knee joint. One treatments for this reconstruction. Pain frequent problems that occur following Isometric quadriceps exercise can be given to reduce pain after phase I reconstruction patients with ACL injuries. This study was a pre-experimental group pre and post-test design. conducted outpatient room ...
