Objective: To evaluate the effect of an aquatic training program on bone mass density (BMD) in post- menopausal women with fibromyalgia (FM). Design: Randomised controlled trial (ISRCTN53367487). Settings: Faculty of Sport Science Subjects: Twenty-four postmenopausal women with FM (mean age, 56, SD, 7 years) were randomised to intervention (n=12) or control group (n=12). Interventions: The experimental group re...
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate de effects of 16 week compensatory strength training program in shoulder strength and respective conventional ratios (concentric ER/IR). METHODS A total of 40 national level male swimmers were assessed and randomly divided in two groups – experimental group (N=20)-(age:14.65±0.67 years old, height:173.48±6.87 cm, body mass:63.15±5.68 kg) and control group (...
Introduction: In any given sports activity, muscular or movement instability is pointed out as having a high influence for the maintenance of correct joint functionality. In swimming, due to the repetitive use of shoulder muscles, there is a higher tendency to promote injuries at the shoulder joint, especially when instability between the internal (IR) and external (ER) shoulder rotators is present. The aims of...
