  • effects of low intensity resistance exercise with slow movement and tonic force generation on Muscular Function in young men
    Journal of Applied Physiology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Michiya Tanimoto, Naokata Ishii
    Abstract:

    We investigated the acute and long-term effects of low-intensity resistance exercise (knee extension) with slow movement and tonic force generation on Muscular size and strength. This type of exerc...

  • cooperative effects of exercise and occlusive stimuli on Muscular Function in low intensity resistance exercise with moderate vascular occlusion
    Japanese Journal of Physiology, 2004
    Co-Authors: Yudai Takarada, Tomomi Tsuruta, Naokata Ishii
    Abstract:

    To obtain insight into the relative contributions of exercise and occlusive stimuli to these Muscular adaptations, the present study investigated the short- and long-term effects of varied combinations of low-intensity exercise and vascular occlusion. The subjects were separated into 3 groups (n = 6 for each group): low-intensity with vascular occlusion (LIO), low-intensity without vascular occlusion (LI), and vascular occlusion without exercise (VO). LIO and LI groups performed bilateral knee extension exercises in seated positions with an isotonic extension machine. In the LIO group, both sides of the thigh were pressure-occluded at the proximal end by means of a tourniquet during the entire session of exercise (approximately 10 min), whereas only the occlusion with the same pressure and duration was given in the VO group. The mean occlusion pressure was 218 +/- 8.1 mmHg (mean +/- SE). The exercise session consisted of five sets of exercise at an intensity of 10-20% 1RM and was performed twice a week for 8 wk. After the period of exercise training, isometric and isokinetic strengths at all velocities examined increased significantly in the LIO group (p < 0.05), whereas no significant change in strength was seen in the LI and VO groups. The increase in Muscular strength in LIO was associated with a significant increase in the cross-sectional area of knee extensor muscles by 10.3 +/- 1.6%. The plasma growth hormone concentration measured 15 min after the session of exercise showed a marked increase only in LIO. The results showed that the low-intensity exercise and occlusive stimuli have cooperative effects in the long-term adaptation of muscle and an acute response to growth hormone.

  • effects of resistance exercise combined with moderate vascular occlusion on Muscular Function in humans
    Journal of Applied Physiology, 2000
    Co-Authors: Yudai Takarada, Haruo Takazawa, Yoshiaki Sato, Shigeo Takebayashi, Yasuhiro Tanaka, Naokata Ishii
    Abstract:

    Acute and long-term effects of resistance exercise combined with vascular occlusion on Muscular Function were investigated. Changes in integrated electromyogram with respect to time (iEMG), vascula...

  • Hematomas within the iliopsoas muscles in hemophilic patients: the Latin American experience.
    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1996
    Co-Authors: F. Fernandez-palazzi, Salvador Rivas Hernandez, Norma B. De Bosch, Arlette R. De Saez
    Abstract:

    The majority of bleeding episodes in patients who have hemophilia occur within the musculoskeletal system, primarily in the joints, but approximately 30% occur within the muscles. Iliopsoas muscle bleeding episodes are often large in volume, causing Muscular Function inhibition, angular deformities,

  • hematomas within the iliopsoas muscles in hemophilic patients the latin american experience
    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1996
    Co-Authors: F Fernandezpalazzi, Salvador Rivas Hernandez, Norma B. De Bosch, Arlette R. De Saez
    Abstract:

    The majority of bleeding episodes in patients who have hemophilia occur within the musculoskeletal system, primarily in the joints, but approximately 30% occur within the muscles. Iliopsoas muscle bleeding episodes are often large in volume, causing Muscular Function inhibition, angular deformities, and nerve involvement. Recurrent hemorrhages are common (14.2%) and neural involvement is as high as 37%. Three hundred patients are being observed in the authors' hemophilia center, 63 of whom have suffered 127 hemorrhages. Absolute bed rest and long term factor replacement are the mainstay of therapy. The experiences of physicians in other countries are appendixed to this article.

  • benefits of whole body vibration training in patients hospitalised for copd exacerbations a randomized clinical trial
    BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2014
    Co-Authors: Timm Greulich, Christoph Nell, Janine Koepke, J Fechtel, M Franke, Bernd Schmeck, Daniel Haid, S Apelt, Silke Filipovic, Klaus Kenn
    Abstract:

    Background Patients with stable COPD show improvements in exercise capacity and Muscular Function after the application of whole body vibration. We aimed to evaluate whether this modality added to conventional physiotherapy in exacerbated hospitalised COPD patients would be safe and would improve exercise capacity and quality of life.

    Abstract:

    Patients with stable COPD show improvements in exercise capacity and Muscular Function after the application of whole body vibration. We aimed to evaluate whether this modality added to conventional physiotherapy in exacerbated hospitalised COPD patients would be safe and would improve exercise capacity and quality of life. 49 hospitalised exacerbated COPD patients were randomized (1:1) to undergo physiotherapy alone or physiotherapy with the addition of whole body vibration. The primary endpoint was the between-group difference of the 6-minute walking test (day of discharge – day of admission). Secondary assessments included chair rising test, quality of life, and serum marker analysis. Whole body vibration did not cause procedure-related adverse events. Compared to physiotherapy alone, it led to significantly stronger improvements in 6-minute walking test (95.55 ± 76.29 m vs. 6.13 ± 81.65 m; p = 0.007) and St. Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (-6.43 ± 14.25 vs. 5.59 ± 19.15, p = 0.049). Whole body vibration increased the expression of the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator receptor gamma coactivator-1-α and serum levels of irisin, while it decreased serum interleukin-8. Whole body vibration during hospitalised exacerbations did not cause procedure-related adverse events and induced clinically significant benefits regarding exercise capacity and health-related quality of life that were associated with increased serum levels of irisin, a marker of muscle activity.
