Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most devastating form of inherited muscular dystrophy in men. The loss of dystrophin causes progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal and cardiac muscle leading to the ...

The muscular system is very affected during the rest in bed when the muscles are maintained in the shortened position facilitating contractures and muscle atrophy. The muscular loss occurs approximately 1% to 1.5% per day ...

The inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has demonstrated positive effects on increasing the strength and performance of the ventilatory muscles is reflected in improved performance in the development of physical activity. ...

Several studies indicate that the addition of vibrations to the strength training (ST) may contribute to the development of muscle strength and athletic performance. The aim of this study was to verify the chronic effect ...

Objectives: identification of carrier women in families affected with Duchenne’s and Becker’s Muscular Dystrophy (DMD/DMB) by means of Haplotypes building and the determination of loss of heterocygocity. Introduction: ...

Um dos processos fisiológicos que o corpo humano pode apresentar com a realização de exercícios físicos é fadiga muscular. A fadiga muscular é um processo fisiológico que ocorre com a realização do exercício, e os ...

An experimental research was performed in dogs to evaluate the changes in gracilis muscle fibers when this muscle is submitted to denervation sectioning its motor nerve. Two experimental groups of six dogs each were used. ...

Background: Gait asymmetries are a matter of discussion concerning gait adaptation in older adults. While most studies perform unilateral gait assessments, the hypothesis that asymmetry in gait biomechanics is influenced ...

7 ABSTRACT Introduction: Hhigh performance sports usualy take individuals to the maximum of their aerobic and anaerobic capacity and muscle strength. Considering that an alteration in any of these areas can produce ...
