Physical activity in youth with osteogenesis imperfecta type I.
INTRODUCTION: Individuals with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) type I often show muscular weakness. However, it is unclear whether muscula...
The effects of whole body vibration on static balance, spinal curvature, pain, and disability of patients with low back pain.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of whole body vibration (WBV) on static balance, spinal curvature, pain, and th...
Whole-body vibration and blood flow and muscle oxygenation: a meta-analysis.
CONTEXT: The use and popularity of whole-body vibration (WBV) has increased in recent years, but there is a lack of consensus in the li...
Acute bone response to whole body vibration in healthy pre-pubertal boys.
The skeleton responds to mechanical stimulation. We wished to ascertain the magnitude and speed of the growing skeleton's response to a...
The effects of whole body vibration on mobility and balance in children with cerebral palsy: a systematic review with meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVE: We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of whole-body vibration on physiologic and functional measurements in c...
Effects of whole body vibration on pulmonary function, functional exercise capacity and quality of life in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A systematic review.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of whole-body vibration in enhancing pulmonary function, functional exercise capacity and quality of l...
Minimal intensity physical activity (standing and walking) of longer duration improves insulin action and plasma lipids more than shorter periods of moderate to vigorous exercise (cycling) in sedentary subjects when energy expenditure is comparable.
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies suggest that excessive sitting time is associated with increased health risk, independent of the pe...
Measurement of muscle and fat in postmenopausal women: precision of previously reported pQCT imaging methods.
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) imaging has been used to quantify muscle area and density as well as intermuscular a...
Adolescence physical activity is associated with higher tibial pQCT bone values in adulthood after 28-years of follow-up – The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study.
High peak bone mass and strong bone phenotype are known to be partly explained by physical activity during growth but there are few pro...
Alterations in bone mineral density and lower extremity lean mass after hip arthroscopy in a professional female Ironman triathlete: a case study.
INTRODUCTION: Femoroacetabular impingement is a pathomechanical condition of the hip, which is often treated through arthroscopic tech...
