IMPORTANCE Patients with a hip fracture lose more than 50% knee-extension strength in the fractured limb within one week of surgery. Hence, immediate progressive strength training following hip fracture surgery may be rational, but the feasibility unknown. OBJECTIVE To examine the feasibility of in-hospital progressive strength training implemented in the acute ward following hip fracture sur...

purpose: doing plyometric training with and without the vessel occlusion is an effective practice for rapid increase of muscles strength their hypertrophy. we evaluated the effects of plyometric training with and without the vessel occlusion on electromyographic parameters. methods: in this quasi-experimental study, 22 females were selected through convenience sampling method. they were randoml...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of combined linear and nonlinear periodic training on physical fitness and competition times in finswimmers. The linear resistance training model (6 days/week) and nonlinear underwater training (4 days/week) were applied to 12 finswimmers (age, 16.08± 1.44 yr; career, 3.78± 1.90 yr) for 12 weeks. Body composition measures included weight, ...
