Lower extremity EMG in male and female college soccer players during single-leg landing

Article Abstract:

Gender differences in muscle activity during landing are studied as possible contributing factor to the greater incidence of interior cruciate ligament injuries in women. It is concluded that male and female college soccer players display similar relative muscle activities of the lower extremity during landing and the gender landing-control parameters might vary depending on the technique used to analyze muscle activity.

Certified athletic trainers' perceptions of excercise-associated muscle cramps

Article Abstract:

A seven-question, web-based, descriptive and cross-sectional survey is developed to investigate certified athletic trainers' (ATC's) perceptions of exercise-associated muscle cramp (EAMC). The responders of these questions suggested humidity, temperature, training, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance as the main cause of EAMC.

Effects of altering intensity during 1-MHz ultrasound treatment on increasing triceps surae temperature

Article Abstract:

An attempt was made to identify a multi-intensity ultrasound protocol that would achieve optimal heating. A 1-MHz, continuous, 2.4-W/cm2 ultrasound treatment was shown to increase intramuscular temperature to 3 degree centigrade above baseline in 2.5 minutes.
