Evidence for prescribing exercise as therapy in chronic disease Tập 16 Số S1 - Trang 3-63 - 2006
Bente Klarlund Pedersen, Bengt Saltin
Considerable knowledge has accumulated in recent decades concerning the
significance of physical activity in the treatment of a number of diseases,
including diseases that do not primarily manifest as disorders of the locomotive
apparatus. In this review we present the evidence for prescribing exercise
therapy in the treatment of metabolic syndrome‐related disorders (insulin
resistance, type 2 dia... hiện toàn bộ
Structure of the tendon connective tissue Tập 10 Số 6 - Trang 312-320 - 2000
Pekka Kannus
Tendons consist of collagen (mostly type I collagen) and elastin embedded in a
proteoglycan‐water matrix with collagen accounting for 65–80% and elastin
approximately 1–2% of the dry mass of the tendon. These elements are produced by
tenoblasts and tenocytes, which are the elongated fibroblasts and fibrocytes
that lie between the collagen fibers, and are organized in a complex
hierarchical scheme ... hiện toàn bộ
Health benefits of cycling: a systematic review Tập 21 Số 4 - Trang 496-509 - 2011
Pekka Oja, Sylvia Titze, Adrian Bauman, Bas de Geus, Patricia Jasmin Krenn, Bill Reger-Nash, T. Kohlberger
The purpose of this study was to update the evidence on the health benefits of
cycling. A systematic review of the literature resulted in 16 cycling‐specific
studies. Cross‐sectional and longitudinal studies showed a clear positive
relationship between cycling and cardiorespiratory fitness in youths.
Prospective observational studies demonstrated a strong inverse relationship
between commuter cycl... hiện toàn bộ
Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) ‐ validation of a Swedish version Tập 8 Số 6 - Trang 439-448 - 1998
Ewa M. Roos, Harald Roos, Charlotte Ekdahl, Stefan Lohmander
The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) is a self‐administered
instrument measuring outcome after knee injury at impairment, disability, and
handicap level in five subscales. Reliability, validity, and responsiveness of a
Swedish version was assessed in 142 patients who underwent arthroscopy because
of injury to the menisci, anterior cruciate ligament, or cartilage of the knee.

A comparison between three rating scales for perceived exertion and two different work tests Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 57-69 - 2006
Elisabet Borg, L. Kaijser
In the present article, three scales developed by Borg are compared on bicycle
ergometer work. In the first study, comparing the Borg Ratings of Perceived
Exertion (RPE) and Category scales with Ratio properties (CR10) scales, 40
healthy subjects (12 men and eight women for each scale) with a mean age of
about 30 years (SD≈6) participated. A work‐test protocol with step‐wise increase
of work loads... hiện toàn bộ
Clinical assessment of hip strength using a hand‐held dynamometer is reliable Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 493-501 - 2010
Kristian Thorborg, Jesper Petersen, S. Peter Magnusson, Per Hölmich
Hip strength assessment plays an important role in the clinical examination of
the hip and groin region. The primary aim of this study was to examine the
absolute test–retest measurement variation concerning standardized strength
assessments of hip abduction (ABD), adduction (ADD), external rotation (ER),
internal rotation (IR), flexion (FLEX) and extension (EXT) using a hand‐held
dynamometer. Nin... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of velocity loss during resistance training on athletic performance, strength gains and muscle adaptations Tập 27 Số 7 - Trang 724-735 - 2017
Fernando Pareja‐Blanco, David Rodríguez‐Rosell, Luis Sánchez‐Medina, Joaquín Sanchis‐Moysi, Cecilia Dorado, Ricardo Mora‐Custodio, Juan Manuel Yáñez‐García, David Morales‐Álamo, Ismael Pérez‐Suarez, J. A. L. Calbet, Juan José González‐Badillo
We compared the effects of two resistance training (RT) programs only differing
in the repetition velocity loss allowed in each set: 20% (VL20) vs 40% (VL40) on
muscle structural and functional adaptations. Twenty‐two young males were
randomly assigned to a VL20 (n = 12) or VL40 (n = 10) group. Subjects followed
an 8‐week velocity‐based RT program using the squat exercise while monitoring

Load‐displacement properties of the human triceps surae aponeurosis and tendon in runners and non‐runners Tập 12 Số 2 - Trang 90-98 - 2002
Sofie Rosager, Per Aagaard, Poul Dyhre‐Poulsen, K. Neergaard, Michael Kjær, S. Peter Magnusson
The load‐displacement and stress–strain characteristics of the human triceps
surae tendon and aponeurosis,in vivo, was examined during graded maximal
voluntary plantarflexion efforts in runners who trained 80 km/ week or more and
age‐matched non‐runners. Synchronous real‐time ultrasonography of triceps surae
tendon and aponeurosis displacement, electromyography of the gastrocnemius,
soleus and dor... hiện toàn bộ
Tests for physical function of the elderly with knee and hip osteoarthritis Tập 11 Số 5 - Trang 280-286 - 2001
Ying‐Chu Lin, Rachel Davey, Tom Cochrane
This study reports the results of a battery of physical function tests used to
assess physical function of older patients with clinical knee and/or hip
osteoarthritis (OA), and the correlation to the WOMAC Index (disease‐specific
questionnaire). A total of 106 sedentary subjects, aged >60 years (mean 69.4,
S.D. 5.9) with hip and/or knee OA (mean 12.2 yrs, S.D. 11.0) participated in the
study. Mobi... hiện toàn bộ
