Introduction: Given the practicality and low cost of elastic devices, a comparison with conventional devices may be able to quantify gains from both tools for further conclusions. Objective: Compare the effect of resistance training with elastic (tubes and resistance band) and conventional (weight machines and dumbbells) devices on body compositio...

Background: Work-related musculoskeletal pain is a major cause of work disability and sickness absence. While pain is a multifactorial phenomenon being influenced by work as well as lifestyle, less is known about the association between specific lifestyle factors and the type of musculoskeletal pain. The aim of the study was to investigate if a do...

Physical exercise is a non-pharmacological alternative to act on the indicators of the metabolic syndrome (MS). Functional resistance training (FRT), recruits a greater number of muscle groups, which can lead to greater energy expenditure. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and the...

BACKGROUND: Elastic bands are commonly used as resistance training device in clinical settings and at workplaces due to its easy handling, low cost and safety. Studies have supported this tool as evaluation of muscular strength; however, no standardized methods for testing localized muscular endurance exist. The purpose is to evaluate reliability o...

A new mathematical approach to explore the post-exercise recovery process and its applicability in a cold water immersion protocol. J Strength Cond Res 33(5): 1266-1275, 2019-The objective of this study was to propose a mathematical model to a...

Given the practicality and low cost of using elastic resistance in training for different populations and its effectiveness in a range of outcomes, a comparison with conventional devices could clarify and quantify the benefits provided by both mode. To compare the effects of resistance training with elastic devices (tubes and Thera-Bands) and conve...

SUPPLEMENTARY_MATERIAL – Supplemental material for Effects of training with elastic resistance versus conventional resistance on muscular strength: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Introduction: Muscle injuries show an incidence associated with extreme stretching, or even a high-intensity eccentric contraction. Such injuries cause severe damage to athletes, including lower performance, withdrawal, and psychological distress. In this scenario, the study of effective preventive methods is an indispensable factor in the routine...

O exercício físico é uma alternativa não farmacológica para agir sobre os indicadores da síndrome metabólica (SM). O treinamento resistido funcional (TRF), recruta maior número de grupos musculares o que pode acarretar maior gasto energético. Portanto, o objetivo desse estudo foi analisar a correlação entre a taxa metabólica basal (TMB) e a variabi...

Background Reliable clinical tests capable of measuring resistance are important tools for rehabilitation. One alternative that has recently increased in popularity is the use of elastic tubes, which stand out for being easy to handle, low cost, practical, and feasible. Objective Analyze the test-retest reliability of the knee extensors muscle fati...

Objective: The main focus of this systematic review was to determine the efficacy of phototherapy in the management of creatine kinase (CK) activity after exercise and furthermore to identify for which exercise model protocol phototherapy provides the best results. Design: Meta-analysis comparing phototherapy with a control condition. Setting:...

Background: Testing of muscle strength is important for assessing performance and guiding diagnosis, rehabilitation , wellness, and prevention programs. While isometric or isokinetic testing is considered the gold standard for assessing muscle strength, it is often impractical in settings outside the research laboratory, although more advanced clin...

Aim: In spite of the many health-related benefits of regular physical activity, fatiguing work may be a barrier to performing leisure-time physical activity. This study investigates the association between work-related fatigue and the duration of low- and high-intensity leisure-time physical activity in workers with sedentary and physically demand...

Diversos estudos avaliam a resistência muscular localizada (RML) no dinamômetro isocinético fixando tempo e número de repetições, entretanto, para avaliar a RML é necessário respeitar a individualidade biológica. Assim o objetivo foi avaliar a confiabilidade inter avaliador de um teste de RML (TRML) no dinamômetro isocinético. A amostra foi compost...

Background: Previous studies have shown positive results of phototherapy for improving performance and accelerating recovery; however, the effects of phototherapy during training and after a primary adaptation remain unclear. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to analyze the effects of phototherapy and combined training on clinical, fu...

A imersão em água fria (IAF) aparece no âmbito esportivo como estratégia para recuperar danos causados pelo estresse físico do exercício. Assim, analisar desfechos na aplicação desta técnica e suas variáveis sobre o efeito da Variabilidade da Frequência Cardíaca (VFC) parece pertinente. A metodologia do estudo consistiu no total de 100 participante...

Cold-water immersion (CWI) is one of the recovery techniques commonly used by athletes for post-exercise recovery. Nevertheless, the effects of CWI using different temperatures and the dose-response relationship of this technique have not yet been investigated. The aims of this study were to compare the effects of two strategies of CWI, using diffe...
