Abstract Ski boots are known to cause vasoconstriction in the wearer’s lower limbs and, thus, a “cold leg” phenomenon. To address this problem, work provides computational framework for analysing interactions between ski boot and limb. The geometry of limb was derived from magnetic resonance imaging computed tomography techniques anthropometric data. shell obtained by means three-dimensional co...

in rabbits, especially in some races, limb movement disorder called splay legs, are mostly unilateral or bilateral in front or hind legs at an early age. the severity ranges from mild to severe in this case. in breeding colony of albino dutch laboratory rabbits, the splay leg disorder has been observed over the years permanently.within the scope of this research, 1.5-2.5% of 700-750 number of c...

conclusions the modified illinois change of direction test must be considered as an asymmetrical test because it underestimates more than half of the players’ agility performances. therefore, fitness coaches should take these results into account when using this test. results the analysis revealed no significant difference in time performance between the two versions of test as a within-subject...

Exercise-related leg pain is a common and yet difficult management problem in sports medicine. There are many common causes of such symptoms including stress fractures and muscle compartment syndromes. There are also a number of less common but important conditions including popliteal artery entrapment and nerve entrapment syndromes. Even for an astute clinician, distinction between the differe...

CEDE both the leg movements and the associated electroen-cephalogram (EEG) changes by as much as 6 seconds. They also reported that the heart-rate changes were greater when occurring with periodic leg movements in sleep (PLMS) than with either isolated (ILMS) or respiratory-related leg movements. We 2 and others 3 have previously reported essentially opposite findings, i.e., that heart-rate cha...

introduction: the aim of this study was to explore the relationship between genu varum abnormality and the performance and strength of lower extremity in teenage footballers. materials and methods: 60 young male football players with the mean age of 15.2± 0.78 yr, mean weight of 58.9 ± 3.39 kg and mean height of 166.6.21 cm participated in this study. kendall’s method and plumb line were used t...

the purpose of this study was to determine and compare blood lactate, heart rate and blood pressure responses in arm and leg exercises and to determine the relationship between these variables and fatigue time during these two modes of exercises. 8 young professional karate players (mean age 18.90±2.20) volunteered to participate in this study. the subjects completed two ergometers: arm and leg...
