Accuracy of a computer vision system for estimating biomechanical measures of body function in axial spondyloarthropathy patients and healthy subjects
(SAGE Publications, 2023)
Objective
Advances in computer vision make it possible to combine low-cost cameras with algorithms, enabling biomechanical measures of body function and rehabilitation programs to be performed anywhere. We evaluated a ...
Achilles tendon and triceps surae muscle properties in athletes
(Springer Science and Business Media, 2024)
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate internal Achilles tendon (AT) displacement, AT shear wave velocity (SWV), and triceps surae (TS) muscle shear modulus in athletes.
Methods
Internal AT displacement was ...
Achilles tendon stiffness is unchanged one hour after a marathon
(The Company of Biologists, 2012)
Overuse-induced injuries have been proposed as a predisposing factor for Achilles tendon (AT) ruptures. If tendons can be
overloaded, their mechanical properties should change during exercise. Because there data are lacking ...
Active aging - resilience and external support as modifiers of the disablement outcome : AGNES cohort study protocol
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2018)
Background: Population aging increases the need for knowledge on positive aspects of aging, and contributions
of older people to their own wellbeing and that of others. We defined active aging as an individual’s striving ...
Active Aging in Senior Housing Residents and Community-Dwelling Older Adults : A Comparative Study in Finland
(SAGE Publications, 2023)
Objectives
Leading an active life in old age underpins positive life experience. This study aimed to compare the levels of active aging in senior housing residents and community-dwelling older people.
Methods
We combined ...
Active and passive recovery influence responses of luteinizing hormone and testosterone to a fatiguing strength loading
(Springer, 2018)
The purpose of this study was to examine the acute hormonal and muscular responses to a strenuous
strength loading [bilateral leg press (LP) 10x10 1RM] followed by loading-specific active (AR, n =
7, LP 10x10x30% 1RM) ...
Active Gains in brain Using Exercise During Aging (AGUEDA) : protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(Frontiers Media, 2023)
Alzheimer’s disease is currently the leading cause of dementia and one of the most expensive, lethal and severe diseases worldwide. Age-related decline in executive function is widespread and plays a key role in subsequent ...
Active recovery shows favorable IGF-I and IGF binding protein responses following heavy resistance exercise compared to passive recovery
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
IGF-I and IGFBPs have important physiological modulatory effects and this study sought to examine the influence of active vs. passive recovery following a heavy resistance exercise on IGF-I and IGF binding protein (IGFBP) ...
Activin Receptor Ligand Blocking and Cancer Have Distinct Effects on Protein and Redox Homeostasis in Skeletal Muscle and Liver
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2019)
Muscle wasting in cancer cachexia can be alleviated by blocking activin receptor type
2 (ACVR2) ligands through changes in protein synthesis/degradation. These changes
in cellular and protein metabolism may alter protein ...
Activity Trackers Influencing Motivation and Awareness: Study Among Fitness Centre Members
(University of Maribor Press, 2017)
Consumer fitness technology products are becoming increasingly
popular. This leads to interesting questions about the influence of activity
trackers on a person’s motivation to exercise. This study explored the role
of ...
