Which recovery method reigns supreme? Comparing blood lactate clearance after supramaximal leg exercise

In 1998, the study conducted by N. A. Martin, R. F. Zoeller, R. J. Robertson, and S. M. Lephart, the primary objective was to examine and compare the effects of sports massage, active recovery, and rest on promoting blood lactate clearance subsequent to maximal anaerobic (supramaximal) leg exercise. The research employed a counterbalanced experimental design with repeated measures, with the order of treatment conditions randomly … Continue reading Which recovery method reigns supreme?

Unlocking the potential: How does early pulmonary rehabilitation impact acute COPD recovery?

In 1998, Nava, et. al., conducted study about Pulmonary rehabilitation which has proven effective for stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, but its impact on those recovering from acute respiratory failure remains less explored. In this prospective, randomized study, we investigated the physiological effects of pulmonary rehabilitation on COPD patients recuperating from such critical episodes in a Respiratory Intensive Care Unit (RICU). Eighty COPD … Continue reading Unlocking the potential: How does early pulmonary rehabilitation impact acute COPD recovery?

Can controlling early morning lumbar flexion revolutionize chronic low back pain management?

In 1998, Snook, et. al., conducted 18-month randomized controlled trial with partial crossover which is aimed to investigate the hypothesis that the management of lumbar flexion in the early morning could significantly diminish chronic, nonspecific low back pain. Previous research has suggested an elevated risk of low back pain associated with forward bending during the early morning, primarily attributed to increased fluid content in the … Continue reading Can controlling early morning lumbar flexion revolutionize chronic low back pain management?

Do aerobic and strength training Offer added benefits in the battle against obesity and insulin resistance?

In 1998, Weinstock, et. al., conducted study about the pursuit of combating obesity, short-term studies have demonstrated the positive effects of both diet and exercise on insulin sensitivity. This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of a 48-week supervised diet and exercise program on weight and insulin sensitivity among obese women, specifically focusing on the phases of initial weight loss, maintenance, and subsequent weight regain … Continue reading Do aerobic and strength training Offer added benefits in the battle against obesity and insulin resistance?

Neer Impingement Test

Purpose of Neer Impingement Test: To determine if there is an impingement in the shoulder joint (1, 2). Patient position: Sitting upright with the affected arm relaxed by the side. Examiner position: Standing beside/behind the patient’s affected side. Procedure: With one hand, depress and stabilize the scapula. With the other hand, rotate the patient’s arm internally and then perform a forward flexion passively in the … Continue reading Neer Impingement Test
