Muscle Endurance Training in a Person with Friedreich’s Ataxia [PDF]

Muscles
Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) results from a faulty mitochondrial protein known as Frataxin. The purpose of this case report was to test whether skeletal muscle in FRDA can adapt to an endurance-based training program using neuromuscular electrical ...

Assessment of Inspiratory Muscle Endurance in Healthy Adults by Recording Breathing Characteristics [PDF]

Thoracic Research and Practice
OBJECTIVE: Respiratory muscle function is considered as strength and endurance. Since respiratory muscles are used a submaximally in daily life, measurement of respiratory muscle endurance rather than respiratory muscle strength is a more functional ...

Effects of endurance training on skeletal muscle mitochondrial function in Huntington disease patients [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2017
Background Mitochondrial dysfunction may represent a pathogenic factor in Huntington disease (HD). Physical exercise leads to enhanced mitochondrial function in healthy participants.

The impact of forward head posture on neck muscle endurance and thickness in women with chronic neck pain: a cross-sectional study [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Forward head posture (FHP) is a common postural deviation that has been linked to neck pain and dysfunction. The impact of FHP on neck muscle endurance and thickness in individuals with chronic neck pain remains unclear.

Associations of back muscle endurance with occupational back muscle activity and spinal loading among subsistence farmers and office workers in Rwanda. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Over the course of the physical activity transition, machines have largely replaced skeletal muscle as the source of work for locomotion and other forms of occupational physical activity in industrial environments.

The relationship between self-perceived fatigue, muscle endurance, and circulating markers of inflammation in participants of the Copenhagen aging and Midlife Biobank (CAMB) [PDF]

European Review of Aging and Physical Activity
Background Fatigue, low muscle endurance, muscle weakness and low-grade inflammation are strongly related to frailty at higher age. When signs of self-perceived fatigue and low muscle endurance are interrelated with low-grade inflammation at midlife ...

Relationship between Volitional and Non-Volitional Quadriceps Muscle Endurance in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [PDF]

Diagnostics
Volitional assessment of quadriceps muscle endurance is clinically relevant in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, studies that determine the construct validity of volitional tests by comparing them to non-volitional ...

Relationship among muscle strength, muscle endurance, and skeletal muscle oxygenation dynamics during ramp incremental cycle exercise [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Peak oxygen uptake (VO2), evaluated as exercise tolerance, is a strong predictor of life prognosis regardless of health condition. Several previous studies have reported that peak VO2 is higher in those with a greater decrease in muscle oxygen saturation

The association between mobile phone usage duration, neck muscle endurance, and neck pain among university students [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The mobile phone is essential in daily life, especially during the pandemic. Prolonged use can cause postural issues, leading to common neck pain. This study aims to determine the correlation between mobile phone use duration, addiction, neck muscle ...

Comparison and correlation of cervical proprioception and muscle endurance in general joint hypermobility participants with and without non-specific neck pain—a cross-sectional study [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Background Cervical proprioception and muscle endurance are essential for maintaining cervical functional joint stability. Proprioception and muscle endurance may be impaired in those with general joint hypermobility (GJH).
