Topical analgesics and blood pressure during static contraction in humans

Article Abstract:

The fact whether attenuation of the pressor response to electrically induced static contraction by topical application of analgesic balm (AB) can occur in humans and the extent of effect of such action on the contracting muscle is examined. It is demonstrated that topical application of AB to the skin covering contracting skeletal muscle attenuates the pressor but the heart rate responds to static contraction.

Capsaicin-based analgesic balm decreases pressor responses evoked by muscle afferents

Article Abstract:

A study to examine the effects of capsaicin (CAP)-based analgesic balm (AB) application on pressor responses evoked by muscle contraction (MC), mediated by group III and IV muscle afferents using cats for experimental purposes is presented. Results show a significant attenuation in cardiovascular effects due to CAP application, the time course for the effect requiring repeated CAP application for pain relief.

Effect of acute static stretching on force, balance, reaction time, and movement time

Article Abstract:

A study is performed to examine the effect of an acute bout of lower limb static stretching on balance, proprioception, reaction and movement time. The findings indicate that there were no significant differences in the decrease in MVC between the stretch and control conditions or in the ability to match sub maximal forces.
