Obesity is one of the diseases of civilisation in the 21st century and is defined as an excessive accumulation of body fat. There is no doubt that such a condition is dangerous and has a negative impact on the functioning of the entire body. People with obesity are at greater risk of developing other diseases […]
DOMS
Increased and prolonged physical exertion often causes delayed muscle soreness (“soreness”). This is caused by the development of inflammatory processes in response to mechanical damage to skeletal muscle. Muscle efficiency then decreases, and muscle mass and strength may also be reduced. Researchers from the University of Physical Education in Krakow, analyzing the concentrations of selected […]
Excessive work can damage muscles and cause delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). The power of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) is then diminished and it is believed that the reduced muscle strength is the most important and reliable indication of direct muscle damage in humans. The aim of the presented work by South Korean scientists […]
In saving from drowning, a quick response of the rescuer is the key. The rescuer’s physical condition during rescue is tested by extremely demanding metabolic needs. A single rescue operation causes a large increase in blood lactate concentration. Water rescuers are often forced to react many times within 1 day, therefore effective regeneration after each […]
Prolonged exercise can damage muscles, resulting in pain, swelling and reduced strength. It has been previously shown that whole-body vibration therapy, applied in a standing position on a vibration platform, improves muscle regeneration. In this study, scientists from the University of Physical Education in Kraków (Poland) decided to test the effect of a milder form […]
The aim of presented research of Polish scientists from the University of Physical Education in Krakow and the Vitberg Research and Development Department was to analyze the impact of vibration massage on the process of muscle regeneration [reflected by the maximum force of isometric muscle contractions (Fmax)] after short-term intense physical exercise compared to the […]
