The Analgesic Effect of Resistance Training after Breast Cancer (ANTRAC): A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: The objective of this blinded parallel-arm randomized controlled trial was to investigate the effect of resistance training (RT) on pain, maximal strength, and shoulder function in breast cancer survivors (BCS) with persistent pain after treatment.

Methods: Twenty BCS with self-reported pain ≥1.5 yr after treatment were randomized to an experimental group (EXP, n = 10), who performed a supervised progressive total body heavy RT program 2 times per week for 12 wk, or a control group (CON, n = 10), who was instructed to continue their everyday life.

Inter- and intra-individual variability in the kinematics of the back squat.

The purpose of this study was to explore the level of inter- and intra-individual variability in the kinematic profiles of the back squat movement among skilled weightlifters. Ten competitive weightlifters volunteered for participation in this study. Barbell velocity (V) and angular velocity of the ankle (ω), knee (ω) and hip joint (ω) were obtained by kinematic recording of six trials at 90% of 1RM in the back squat.
