Clinical Methods To Quantify Trunk Mobility In An Elite Male Surfing Population, James Furness, Michael Climstein, Jeremy Sheppard, Allan Abbott, Wayne Hing Apr 2016

Clinical Methods To Quantify Trunk Mobility In An Elite Male Surfing Population, James Furness, Michael Climstein, Jeremy Sheppard, Allan Abbott, Wayne Hing

Wayne Hing

Background Thoracic mobility in the sagittal and horizontal planes are key requirements in the sport of surfing; however to date the normal values of these movements have not yet been quantified in a surfing population. Objectives To develop a reliable method to quantify thoracic mobility in the sagittal plane; to assess the reliability of an existing thoracic rotation method, and quantify thoracic mobility in an elite male surfing population. Design Clinical Measurement, reliability and comparative study. Methods A total of 30 subjects were used to determine the reliability component. 15 elite surfers were used as part of a comparative analysis …

Health Benefits Of Endurance Training Alone Or Combined With Diet For Obese Patients Over 60: A Review, Walid Bouaziz May 2015

Health Benefits Of Endurance Training Alone Or Combined With Diet For Obese Patients Over 60: A Review, Walid Bouaziz

Walid Bouaziz

The prevalence of obesity is rapidly increasing in older patients and it is ubiquitous in many developed countries. Obesity is related to various negative health outcomes, making it a major public health target for intervention. The aim of this study was to explore and summarise the literature that addresses endurance training alone or combined with nutrition interventions to combat obesity in obese patients over age 60. We searched online electronic databases up to September 2014 for original observational and intervention studies published between 1995 and 2014 on the relationship between endurance training alone or combined with a diet in obese …


Biomechanical Difference Between Loaded Countermovement And Static Squat Jumps, S. G. S. Coleman, C. Karatzaferi, Michael H. Stone May 2001

Biomechanical Difference Between Loaded Countermovement And Static Squat Jumps, S. G. S. Coleman, C. Karatzaferi, Michael H. Stone

Michael H. Stone

It was the aim of this study to assess differences between countermovement (CMJ) and static (SJ) unloaded and loaded squat jumps. Eight male national/international level athletes and badminton players performed a series of jumps on two Kistler force plates. Maximum vertical force (Fmax) and rate of force development (RFDmax), net impulse (Impnet) and vertical take-off velocity (VT-O) were calculated and compared using a Two-Way (Jump x Load) ANOVA with two repeated factors. Fmax increased significantly with load and displayed a significant interaction with jump type. RFDmax showed significant jump main and interaction effects. Impnet only changed significantly with load. These …
