Objective: Aim: To investigate the effects of exercise training on heart rate and blood pressure in soccer players of different skill levels.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: 693 soccer players with different sports qualifications were studied. Heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) were measured at rest at the beginning of the preparatory phase of the training cycle.

Objective: To explore the anatomic characteristics of C7 nerve localization, course, and length during cross-transfer surgery of the C7 nerve through the anterior vertebral approach and investigate the feasibility, safety, and clinical efficacy of C7 nerve transfer surgery through the anterior vertebral approach for the treatment of central upper limb spastic paralysis.
Methods: Four fresh-frozen adult head and neck samples were selected. C7 nerve transfer surgery was simulated through the anterior vertebral approach.
Voltage-sensitive calcium channels contribute to depolarization of both motor neurons and interneurons in animal studies, but less is known of their contribution to human motor control and whether blocking them has potential in future antispasmodic treatment in humans. Therefore, this study investigated the acute effect of nimodipine on the transmission of human spinal reflex pathways involved in spasticity. In a double-blinded, crossover study, we measured soleus muscle stretch reflexes and H reflexes and tibialis anterior cutaneous reflexes in 19 healthy subjects before and after nimodipine (tablet 60 mg) or baclofen (tablet 25 mg).

Background: Spasticity is a common feature in patients with disruptions in corticospinal pathways. However, the term is used ambiguously. Here, spasticity is defined as enhanced velocity-dependent stretch reflexes and placed within the context of deforming spastic paresis encompassing other forms of muscle overactivity.
