Flexibility enhancement with vibration: Acute and long-term

Article Abstract:

A study investigates the potential acute and long-term effects of low-frequency vibration stimuli on the forward split range of motion of highly trained young male gymnasts. The acute phase showed dramatic increases in forward split flexibility for both legs, whereas the long-term test showed a statistically significant increase in range of motion on the right rear leg split only.

Dietary salt, airway inflammation, and diffusion capacity in exercise-induced asthma

Article Abstract:

This study focuses on measuring the ways that dietary salt modification might alter exercise-induced airway narrowing in asthmatic patients. It appears that dietary salt restriction lessens and dietary salt loading enhances airway inflammation in asthmatics following exercise.

Warm-up stretches reduce sensations of stiffness and soreness after eccentric exercise

Article Abstract:

The concept that warm-up stretches might reduce levels of passive tension to minimize sensations of stiffness and soreness after eccentric exercise is tested.
