To examine efficacy of cold water immersion (CWI) and massage as recovery techniques on joint position sense, balance, and fear of falling following exercise‐induced muscle damage in older adults. Seventy‐eight older men and women performed a single bout of strength training on the calf muscles (3 exercises with 4 sets of 10 reps with 75% of 1RM) t...

Introduction: Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) that occurs after eccentric exercise can cause limitations in sports activities, especially in professional athletes. Relatively, different studies have been designed to prevent and control the consequence of the DOMS. Previous studies have confirmed the impact of local vibration (LV) and whole bod...

Introduction: Vibration exercise appears to be matched with resistance exercise, and can strengthen muscles even at a faster pace. In this way, the present study aimed to assess neuromuscular function following hand vibration exercise by concurrent transfer of vibration from vibrating plate and its belt. Materials and Methods: A total of 31 healthy...

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease characterized by deterioration of articular cartilage. Pharmacological treatments mainly emphasize on the regeneration of articular cartilage. Glucosamine sulfate is used as a cartilage protective substance with controversial results. This study was designed to investigate the...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of short and long-term static warmupprotocol on static and dynamic balance and motor performance in gymnast athletes. Methods: In this study, 16 skilled female gymnasts (mean age of 9.62 �1.45 years) were randomly categorized to two general warmup (control) and general warm-up plus sta...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of different warm-up protocols on static and dynamic balance indices and balance the vault in skilled female gymnast. Materials and Methods: Twenty four skilled female gymnasts (mean age 9.66±1.43 years( were selected. Subjects have been randomly divided into three groups: gen...

Introduction: Treatment of forward head posture (FHP) is very important as it is the cause of muscle weaknesses and fatigues, decreased range of motions and impaired neck proprioception. So far, a number of interventions have been introduced for treating this disorder such as stabilization exercises. Though, until recently, the “tape” has not been...

Introduction: Applying static stretch before sport activities has been emphasized to improve range of motion, flexibility and muscle performance and also to reduce pain and muscle stiffness. Regarding to the controversies about the effect of static stretch and the importance of the balance control to prevent injuries during sport activities, this s...

Introduction: Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after eccentric exercises would limit the efficacy of athletes. This study was designed to investigate the rate of DOMS in luteal and follicular phases of menstrual cycle (an indirect assesment of possible role estrogen) among healthy untrained female students. Materials and Methods: Twenty-six hea...

Introduction: Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which occurs after eccentric exercises, may cause some reduction in ability in sport activities. For this reason, numerous recovery strategies have been used in an attempt to control the inflammatory-type response. Physical modalities have demonstrated no effect on the alleviation of muscle sorene...

Numerous recovery strategies have been used in an attempt to minimize the symptoms of delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Whole-body vibration (WBV) has been suggested as a viable warm-up for athletes. However, scientific evidence to support the protective effects of WBV training (WBVT) on muscle damage is lacking. To investigate the acute effect...

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which may occur after eccentric exercise, may cause some reduction in ability in sport activities. For this reason, several studies have been designed on preventing and controlling DOMS. As vibration training (VT) may improve muscle performance, we designed this study to investigate the effect of VT on controll...
