Assessment of cardiovascular regulation during head-up tilt and suspension in swimmers

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to test the hypotheses by comparing the cardiovascular responses in nonendurance competitive swimmers with those in nonendurance track & field (T&F) athletes. The study indicated that the action of the antigravity muscles on cardiovascular regulation during upright standing was smaller in competitive swimmers than in track and field athletes.

Ankle biomechanics during four landing techniques

Article Abstract:

The effect of various forms of landing after a drop or jump in sporting activities was examined. Participants dropped from a overhead bar onto a force plant and were instructed in four ways to land. The landing technique that caused the least amount of force was the when the knees were stiff with maximum plantar flexion.

Progressive strength training in sedentary, older African American women

Article Abstract:

Research presented concerns the impact of strength training on the muscle strength, flexibility, and endurance of aged, sedentary African-American women. Findings suggest that two months of low-impact progressive strength training exercises can safely improve muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility in the aged.
