Systematic Review Of The Effect Of Aerobic And Resistance Exercise Training On Systemic Brain Natriuretic Peptide (Bnp) And N-Terminal Bnp Expression In Heart Failure Patients, N. Smart, M. Steele
Neil Smart
Background: BNP and the N-terminal portion (NT-pro-BNP) have emerged as powerful tools in the diagnosis and prognosis of heart failure on acute presentation. The aim of this work was to systematically review the effect of exercise training on BNP and NT-pro-BNP levels in patients with left ventricular dysfunction. Methods: A systematic search was conducted of Medline (Ovid) (1950–July 2008), Embase.com (1974–current), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL (1981–current) and Web of Science (2000–current) to identify randomized controlled trials of aerobic and/or resistance exercise training in heart failure patients that measured BNP and/or pro-BNP. Primary outcome measures were changes in …

Test–Retest Reliability Of The Soleus H-Reflex Is Affected By Joint Positions And Muscle Force Levels, Yungsheng Chen, Shi Zhou, Colleen Cartwright, Zachary Crowley, Robert Baglin, Fang Wang
Professor Colleen M Cartwright
The purpose of this study was to determine the test-retest reliability of the soleus (SOL) H-reflex during rest and isometric contractions at 10%, 30%, and 50% of the maximal voluntary force (MVC) at the ankle joint angles of neutral (0°), plantarflexion (20°), and dorsiflexion (-20°) respectively, in a sitting position. Ten healthy participants, with mean age of 24.9 ± 5.0 (SD) years, height 168.3 ± 8.8 cm, weight 62.7 ± 12.3 kg, were tested for the SOL H-reflex (Hmax) on two separate occasions within 7 days. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) for the test–retest of the SOL H-reflex during rest …

Object. The authors investigated return-to-play duration for initial and recurrent concussion in the same season in 2 teams of junior (16–21-year-old) ice hockey players during a regular season. Methods. The authors conducted a prospective cohort study during 1 junior regular season (2009–2010) of 67 male fourth- tier ice hockey players (mean age
