Golf has become an increasingly popular sport and a growing body of research trying to identify its main physical requirements is being published. The aim of this review was twofold: first, to examine the existing scientific literature regarding strength training and golf in healthy, non-injured, subjects; and second, to reach conclusions that could provide information on how to design more eff...

Many researchers have demonstrated that a specific strength training program can improve maximal strength and, the rate of force production, reduce the incidence of muscle-skeletal injury, and contribute to faster injury recovery times, thereby minimizing the number of missed practice sessions or competitions. Yet, to our best knowledge, there is no apparent consensus on the appropriate method ...

the aim of this study was to examine the concurrent consumption of creatine and resistance training on flexion strength of biceps brachii in female physical education students in their last semester. for this purpose, 30 students were randomly selected and divided into three groups: the experimental group 1 (age: 19.8 ± 1.4 yr, weight: 53.9 ± 4.4 kg, height: 162 ± 4.4 cm), experimental group 2 ...

When old adults participate in a strength-training program with heavy loads, they experience an increase in muscle strength and an improvement in the steadiness of submaximal isometric contractions. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of light- and heavy-load strength training on the ability of old adults to perform steady submaximal isometric and anisometric contractions. Thi...

Muscle weakness is commonly cited as a cause of crouch gait in individuals with cerebral palsy; however, outcomes after strength training are variable and mechanisms by which muscle weakness may contribute to crouch gait are unclear. Understanding how much muscle strength is required to walk in a crouch gait compared to an unimpaired gait may provide insight into how muscle weakness contributes...

conclusions performing large muscle group exercises first in re training and progressing to small muscle group produced greater anabolic hormonal response relative to reverse sequence in normal-weight young adult men. anabolic hormonal response to reos was blunted in the obese group. results reos did not affect number of repetitions in none of the groups. the average rating of perceived exertio...
