Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the reliability of measuring supraspinatus tendon (SST) thickness in 30 adolescent swimmers, split between those with SST tendinopathy and a control group, using various measurement procedures.
- It found that SST thickness was significantly greater in swimmers with tendinopathy compared to controls across all measurement methods.
- The most reliable measurement method was determined to be one that involved using references at 10, 15, and 20 mm from the biceps tendon, demonstrating strong reliability scores and a low error rate.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined how Nordic hamstring exercises (NHE) affect fatigue and various characteristics of hamstring muscles in recreationally active volunteers.
- It involved measurements of perceived exertion, muscle stiffness, thickness, angle, and blood flow before, immediately after, and one hour post-exercise.
- Results showed that NHE led to immediate changes in muscle properties, such as increases in thickness and pennation angle post-exercise, while also highlighting a link between perceived exertion and average force generated during the exercises.
Coach workshops based on seven principles (inspiration, explanation, expectation, support, reward, appreciation, growth and winning) enhance the sport experience of adult athletes. Therefore, we have investigated the effects of such workshops with coaches of child athletes. Study participants were coaches of 57 9- to 12-year old girls (practicing gymnastics) and boys (practicing football).
