Various exercises have been performed by strength and conditioning practitioners aiming to increase Gluteus Max (GMax) strength and size. Researchers from Brazil in 2020 oublished a systematic review to describe the GMax activation levels during strength exercises that incorporate hip extension and use of external load. The authors found sixteen articles that met the inclusion
Just in and Jonathan from the Human Institute provides a fun and useful fact on our Gluteus Maximus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bGNm5jqwLg&t=480s They made learning anatomy fun and showed using a dissection on cadaver tissues that make up our big butts. Dr. Joe Muscolino says that the gluteus maximus might be one of the most appreciated and under-appreciated
Running is one of the most popular sport activities with many health benefits. However running-related musculoskeletal injuries are common among runners. The injuries are due to overuse or due to the repetitive cycles of small loads. A literature review was conducted by researchers from Loughborough University to determine the incidence and prevalence of injuries in
Individuals with rotator cuff related shoulder pain (RCRSP) commonly complain about night-time (nocturnal) pain. And current research has not evaluated the relationship between nocturnal pain severity and other evaluation parameters in RCRSP. A study investigated the relationship between the severity of night-time pain and demographic and clinical data. The study recruited 61 patients (half of
People suffering from acute or persistent low back pain commonly have altered biomechanics. Many studies have compared walking or running gait biomechanics in individuals with and without low back pain. Despite substantial research, the research studies present inconsistent results. Researchers from Chapman University in California conducted a new systematic review to answer the question whether
Scarring is a normal part of the wound healing process, but aberrant wound healing can result in hypertrophic scarring. Hypertrophic scarring, commonly characterized by an excess of collagen formation and could reduce movement, often occurs following surgery with a rate between 40% and 94%. Treatment for scarring itself became a significant economic burden. Over 180,000
