Core training impacts running athletes' physical capacity

ABSTRACT Introduction: Core strength training focuses mainly on the muscle group and neuromuscular system of the central area of the human body to gain strength and stability for complex movements. Studies have reported the effect of core training on high-capacity athletes, but there is still a gap rega...

Isometric resistance training effects on lower limb muscle activity

Rev. bras. med. esporte; 28 (6), 2022
ABSTRACT Introduction The high muscular strength in the hip joint is the foundation of jumping ability. Isometric resistance training includes the process of takeoff and landing, recruiting a more extensive set of muscle groups. Objective Analyze the isometric resistance training effects on lower lim...

Int. j. morphol; 40 (5), 2022
SUMMARY: This study aimed to explore the effects of a single moderate-intensity aerobic endurance running program on the morphological characteristics of normal-weighted and overweighted female adolescents and whether effects differ between individuals of different nutritional statuses. A total of 47 ado...

Effects of blood flow restriction in large and small muscle groups

Rev. bras. med. esporte; 27 (1), 2021
ABSTRACT Introduction It is known that strength training brings improvements in health and sports performance by causing muscle hypertrophy and increased strength, as well as modifying some hemodynamic and physiological factors. Several strength training methodologies have been developed, one of which ...

Reliability of the high-speed camera-based system (hsc-kinovea) for lower-limb explosive strength endurance assessment in athletes

ABSTRACT The present study verified the reliability of the high-speed camera-based system (HSC-Kinovea) in the lower-limb explosive strength endurance assessment in athletes. Eleven male volleyball players (21.8 ± 2.9 years; 186.3 ± 6.2 cm and 82.3 ± 11.0 kg) participated in the intermittent vertical ...

Ingestion of a moderate dose of alcohol enhances physical exercise-induced changes in blood lactate concentration

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (4), 2020
The consumption of alcoholic beverages influences carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, although it is not yet clear whether metabolism during physical exercise at different intensities is also affected. This was the objective of the present study. Eight young and healthy volunteers performed a treadmill te...
