How important is exercise frequency in managing recurrent low back pain?

In 2014, a study conducted by Assen Romanov Aleksiev, et. al., is a randomized prevention trial aimed at comparing the long-term effects of strengthening versus flexibility exercises in managing recurrent low back pain (LBP). Additionally, it evaluates the impact of incorporating abdominal bracing into these exercise routines. Given the ongoing debate about the most effective exercise types and parameters for recurrent LBP, this study provides … Continue reading How important is exercise frequency in managing recurrent low back pain?

Can a 12-week exercise program improve health outcomes in African-American stroke survivors with multiple comorbidities?

In 2000, study led by J.H. Rimmer, et. al., the effects of a 12-week exercise training program on a predominantly African-American group of stroke survivors with multiple comorbidities were investigated. The primary aim was to assess the program’s influence on various health parameters, shedding light on the potential benefits for this specific population. Utilizing a lag-control group design, the study enrolled a total of 35 … Continue reading Can a 12-week exercise program improve health outcomes in African-American stroke survivors with multiple comorbidities?

Can foam rolling and static stretching boost hip-flexion range of motion together?

Many athletes seek ways to improve their range of motion (ROM) and flexibility to enhance their performance. Foam rolling has gained popularity for its potential to release muscle tension, and static stretching is a common method for improving flexibility. In 2014, study by Andrew R. Mohr and colleagues aimed to investigate whether combining foam rolling with static stretching could significantly increase passive hip-flexion ROM. This … Continue reading Can foam rolling and static stretching boost hip-flexion range of motion together?
