Lack of β2‐AR improves exercise capacity and skeletal muscle oxidative phenotype in miceScandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports - Tập 22 Số 6 - 2012

β2‐adrenergic receptor (β2‐AR) agonists have been used as ergogenics by athletes
involved in training for strength and power in order to increase the muscle
mass. Even though anabolic effects of β2‐AR activation are highly recognized,
less is known about the impact of β2‐AR in endurance capacity. We presently used
mice lacking β2‐AR [β2‐knockout (β2 KO)] to investigate the role of β2‐AR on

Patellar tendinitis—a case report of elongation and ossification of the inferior pole of the patellaScandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports - Tập 5 Số 5 - Trang 308-310 - 1995
Stacie L. Grossfeld, Lars Engebretsen
Patellar tendinitis is a condition that occurs in patients who are involved in
repetitive use of the extension mechanism. The most common symptoms are pain at
the inferior pole of the patella, and radiographic changes may also occur. This
case report demonstrates an extreme example of elongation of the inferior pole
of the patellar tendon. The ossification caused the patient pain, which was
resolv... hiện toàn bộ
Handgrip strength is associated with suicidal thoughts in men: Cross‐sectional analyses from NHANESScandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports - Tập 30 Số 1 - Trang 92-99 - 2020

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between handgrip strength and suicidal
thoughts in a representative sample of the US adult population using data from
the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).Population and
MethodsData from two waves of NHANES (2011‐2014) were aggregated. Handgrip
strength in kilogram (kg) was defined as the maximum value from the dominant
hand. Suicida... hiện toàn bộ
Intrinsic risk factors for acute knee injuries among male football players: a prospective cohort studyScandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports - Tập 21 Số 5 - Trang 645-652 - 2011
Anders Hauge Engebretsen, Grethe Myklebust, Ingar Holme, Lars Engebretsen, Roald Bahr
This prospective cohort study was conducted to identify the risk factors for
acute knee injuries among male football players. A total of 508 players
representing 31 amateur teams were tested during the 2004 preseason for
potential risk factors for knee injury through a questionnaire on previous
injury, Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and a clinical examination.

Is a knee brace advantageous after anterior cruciate ligament surgery?Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports - Tập 11 Số 2 - Trang 110-114 - 2001
Sveinbjörn Brandsson, Eva Faxén, Jüri Kartus, Bengt I. Eriksson, Jón Karlsson
The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of a knee brace after arthroscopic
anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using central third patellar tendon
autografts. Fifty patients were randomly allocated to two groups. The patients
in Group A wore a brace for three weeks post‐operatively, while the patients in
Group B were rehabilitated without the use of a brace. Pre‐operatively, the
groups... hiện toàn bộ
Gait asymmetry in patients with limb length discrepancyScandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports - Tập 14 Số 1 - Trang 49-56 - 2004
Jarmo Perttunen, Esa Anttila, Jerker Södergård, Juhani Merikanto, Paavo V. Komi
Foot loading patterns and neuromuscular function of both limbs during walking
were investigated on 25 patients with limb length discrepancy. Plantar pressures
and 2‐D ground reaction forces were recorded simultaneously with
electromyographic activities at two different walking speeds. Bilateral
comparison indicated that moderate limb length discrepancies resulted in
asymmetrical gait patterns. The... hiện toàn bộ
A comparison between three rating scales for perceived exertion and two different work testsScandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports - 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
Exercise therapy for people with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritisScandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports - Tập 14 Số 3 - Trang 138-142 - 2004
Jyrki Kettunen, Urho M. Kujala
Exercise therapy would appear to be effective at increasing aerobic capacity and
muscle strength in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and no detrimental
effects on disease activity or pain compared with controls has been observed.
Exercise therapy – at least in the short‐term, improves pain, muscular strength
and function in elderly people with mild osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip or knee.

Pain duration is associated with increased muscle sympathetic nerve activity in patients with Achilles tendinopathyScandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports - Tập 27 Số 12 - Trang 1942-1949 - 2017
Jacob Jewson, Élisabeth Lambert, Sean Docking, Michael Storr, Gavin Lambert, James E. Gaida
Tendinopathy is a common condition, which has been linked to surrogate measures
of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity and insulin resistance. This study
aimed to compare in vivo measures of the SNS and insulin resistance between
individuals with and without Achilles tendinopathy. This case–control study
compared Achilles tendinopathy sufferers to healthy controls. SNS activity was
