A study pubslihed in Frontiers in Physiology explored the effects of foam rolling (FR) on the stiffness of hamstring muscles in both non-damaged and exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) states. The study utilized shear wave ultrasound elastography to measure changes in shear modulus, involving fourteen healthy adults in a within-participant repeated measures design. Each participant received
A study publishe din International Journal of Sports Science investigates the impact of myofascial release, specifically foam rolling, on postural control by comparing the effects of rolling on different muscle groups. The focus was on observing changes in postural sway scores before and after foam rolling the proximal muscles (quadriceps and hamstrings) versus the distal
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is characterized by persistent and unexplained fatigue accompanied by various symptoms such as joint pain, fever, and cognitive issues, yet often shows no abnormalities in physical examinations. Globally, the prevalence of CFS varies, with about 0.1% to 2.2% in the general population, and specific surveys noting higher rates, such as 12.54%
In recent years, mounting evidence has suggested that diabetes could play a significant role in the development of frozen shoulder. Numerous epidemiological studies have observed a notable increase in the incidence of frozen shoulder among individuals with diabetes compared to those without. A new study published in BMJ Open Diabetes Research and Care explored the
