AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how different warm-up protocols affect jump landing mechanics in college-aged females, focusing on gluteal resistance exercises (GRE).
- The researchers found that while using a combined dynamic warm-up with GRE did lead to some differences in hip rotation angles, overall, it did not significantly impact landing biomechanics compared to no warm-up or just a dynamic warm-up.
- The findings suggest that clinicians should be cautious in expecting major changes in movement patterns after using GRE as part of a warm-up prior to activities.
Article Abstract
Rauseo, ML, Feairheller, DL, LaRoche, DP, and Cook, SB. Acute effect of dynamic and gluteal resistance exercise warm-up protocols on lower-extremity jump landing mechanics in college-aged females. J Strength Cond Res 38(2): 259-265, 2024-Inadequate neuromuscular control of the femur by the gluteal musculature is associated with noncontact and overuse injuries to the knee. Acute bouts of resistance exercises targeting the gluteal musculature can be prescribed as part of a warm-up protocol with the goal of improving subsequent neuromuscular control and performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect that a warm-up protocol including moderate-intensity gluteal resistance exercises (GRE) has on single leg jump landing biomechanics. Seventeen healthy, college-aged, recreationally active females (mean ± SD ; age = 21.4 ± 1.9 years; height = 166.9 ± 5.7 cm; body mass = 62.5 ± 7.4 kg) performed 3 single leg hop trials per leg after completing no warm-up (CON), a dynamic warm-up (DWU), and a dynamic warm-up with gluteal resistance exercises (DWU + GRE) across 3 laboratory visits. Lower extremity kinetic and kinematic variables were assessed during single leg hops from the point of initial foot contact to deepest knee flexion. Biomechanical differences between dominant and nondominant limb landings were also assessed. Dominant limb hip internal rotation angle after DWU + GRE (2.03 ± 9.92°) was significantly greater ( p ≤ 0.05) compared with CON (-3.36 ± 7.74°). Peak knee adduction moment (56.8%), peak knee flexion angle (5.7%), and peak knee external rotation angle (17.0%) were significantly greater ( p ≤ 0.017) in the dominant limb, compared with the nondominant limb, across warm-up protocols. The combined DWU + GRE warm-up protocol did not have a substantial impact on landing biomechanics. Clinicians prescribing GRE before activity should not expect significant changes in movement patterns after a single bout.

Background: Gluteal hypoplasia and ptosis reduction are common concerns among patients seeking optimal body contouring in Peru and other countries. Although silicone implants are a traditional solution, they are not suitable for all patients. Fat grafting has emerged as an alternative, with various techniques aimed at enhancing fat graft viability and patient safety.

Horizontal decelerations are frequently performed during team sports and are closely linked to sports performance and injury. This study aims to provide a comprehensive description of the kinetic demands of decelerations at the whole-body, structural, and tissue-specific levels of the musculoskeletal system. Team-sports athletes performed maximal-effort horizontal decelerations whilst full-body kinematics and ground reaction forces (GRFs) were recorded.

Article Synopsis
- Long-acting cabotegravir/rilpivirine (CAB/RPV) is primarily used for HIV patients who are already virologically suppressed, but recent cases show it can be effective for those with detectable viral loads.
- The study discusses two patients with multidrug resistance who struggled with oral therapy due to adherence issues and swallowing problems, but achieved viral suppression after switching to CAB/RPV with lenacapavir injections.
- The findings suggest that injectable ART like CAB/RPV combined with LEN could be a promising treatment alternative for patients facing major challenges with traditional oral therapies.
