The effects of specific preconditioning activities on acute sprint performance.

29 Jun 2009 Previous research suggests that specific preconditioning activities such as whole-body vibration (WBV) and resistance training may play an important role in ensuing dynamic activities. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 2 ... Read more...

[Subjective function scores for the musculoskeletal system of uninjured high-level competitive pole vaulters in recreational, training and competition periods]

6 Jun 2009 STUDY AIM: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of commonly used subjective, clinical scores to describe the health status of high-level competitive athletes in different phases of one training year. METHOD: 32 high-level pole ... Read more...

Low bone mineral density and calcium intake in elite cyclists.

27 Feb 2009 AIM: High physical activity is associated with larger bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD) in young males though competitive road cyclists have been reported to have similar or lower BMD than controls. METHODS: BMC and BMD were assessed in ... Read more...
