Do pre-exercise routines influence achilles tendon biomechanics? A cross-over study

The debate surrounding the efficacy of stretching and warm-up routines in injury prevention continues to persist within the realm of sports science. One key area of interest is the impact of these preparatory exercises on the biomechanical properties of the Achilles tendon. In 2011, a study aimed by Park, et. al., to explore whether warm-up exercises exert a more significant influence on Achilles tendon biomechanics … Continue reading Do pre-exercise routines influence achilles tendon biomechanics?

Orthotic strategies and exercise regimens: Optimizing treatment for tibialis posterior tendinopathy?

In 2009, researchers led by Kornelia Kulig, et. al., conducted a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effectiveness of orthoses and resistive exercise in managing early-stage tibialis posterior tendinopathy. This debilitating condition can severely impact mobility and quality of life. The study involved thirty-six adults diagnosed with stage I or II tibialis posterior tendinopathy. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) orthoses … Continue reading Orthotic strategies and exercise regimens: Optimizing treatment for tibialis posterior tendinopathy?

What is the effectiveness of combining resistance training with chiropractic treatment for fibromyalgia management?

A randomized controlled trial investigated the impact of resistance training (RES) and its combination with chiropractic treatment (RES-C) on fibromyalgia (FM) symptoms and functionality in women diagnosed with FM. In 2009, a study led by Lynn B Panton and colleagues, the study involved women with FM, with an average age of 48 years, who were randomly assigned to either the RES group (n = 10) … Continue reading What is the effectiveness of combining resistance training with chiropractic treatment for fibromyalgia management?

Do specialized exercise regimens combat flexed posture in aging individuals?

As individuals age, flexed posture becomes increasingly prevalent, often accompanied by musculoskeletal issues and diminished physical function. In 2008, to address this, a study was conducted by Benedetti, et. al., to compare the efficacy of a tailored physical activity regimen targeting flexed posture against a generic exercise program for the elderly over a three-month period. Participants were randomly assigned to either a group undertaking an … Continue reading Do specialized exercise regimens combat flexed posture in aging individuals?
