Abstract

"Isokinetic Exercise and Assessment" not only presents a scientific basis for the use of isokinetics, it also provides practical guidelines for applying isokinetics in clinical practice. This approach, plus the book's extensive normative value tables, makes it a suitable textbook and reference for students and practitioners of athletic training, physiotherapy, rehabilitation medicine, and strength training. In Part I of the book, author David Perrin explains how the isokinetic method of muscle exercise and assessment differs from the isotonic and isometric methods. He corrects several misconceptions about the use of isokinetics, then delves into the underlying principles of isokinetic theory. Readers will learn how to interpret an isokinetic force / torque curve, the advantages and disadvantages of various dynamometers, the procedures for optimising the accuracy and reliability of isokinetic assessment, and the correct way to interpret an isokinetic evaluation. Students and practitioners will benefit from the clinical applications of isokinetic exercise and assessment that are covered in Part II. This section presents isokinetic protocols and normative value tables for the major joints of the body. These comprehensive tables list peak torque values, reciprocal muscle group ratios, test reliability coefficients, and other isokinetic data that have been gathered from a variety of athletic and sedentary populations - both male and female, and over a range of ages. "Isokinetic Exercise and Assessment" includes over 70 photos depicting joint ranges of motion and test positions for the more popular dynamometers. It also provides general guidelines to follow when purchasing an isokinetic dynamometer.

Abstract

L'isocinétisme est une méthode de référence en matière d'évaluation et de renforcement musculaire. C'est un outil incontournable pour les professionnels de l'appareil locomoteur. Le principe d'isocinétisme par l'utilisation de dynamomètres isocinétiques permet une mesure fiable, reproductible, sensible, objective et dynamique de la force musculaire. C'est aujourd'hui le gold standard de l'évaluation de la force musculaire. L'usage des techniques d'isocinétisme s'est développé dans diverses disciplines: la physiologie, la biomécanique, la médecine du sport, l'orthopédie-traumatologie, la médecine physique et de réadaptation. Cet ouvrage est un guide pratique pour débuter dans l'utilisation des dynamomètres isocinétiques, et surtout dans le cadre d'une utilisation régulière et rigoureuse pour l'évaluation musculaire isocinétique. Il vise également à mettre en évidence l'intérêt et la spécificité de l'isocinétisme, son application technique pour l'évaluation dynamique de la fonction musculaire ou comme méthode de rééducation. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux médecins du sport aux médecins de médecine physique et de réadaptation et à tous les praticiens de la sphère de la rééducation (masseurs-kinésithérapeutes, APA.).

Abstract

The World Health Organization recognizes that injuries are the leading cause of death and disability to children after their first birthday. There is also high morbidity associated with injuries sustained in childhood, often affecting people for the rest of their lives. For every child who dies from injury, there are several thousand who require medical care, many who live with varying degrees of disability. Children and adolescents (0–19 years of age) are at increased risk of mortality and morbidity due to injuries such as road traffic, burns, falls, poisoning, drowning, self-harm and interpersonal violence. There are proven ways to prevent many child injuries, yet there are still gaps in our knowledge. By understanding the impact of determinants of health (i.e., the social and economic environment, the physical environment and a person’s individual characteristics and behaviors), effective prevention interventions can be designed and implemented, with a high return on investment. This Special Issue covers an eclectic range of studies, the common goal of which is to reduce the global burden of child injury-related mortality and morbidity.

Abstract

The year 2019 has been prolific in terms of new evidence regarding the effects of coffee and caffeine consumption on diverse aspects of human functioning. This book collects 20 high-quality manuscripts published in Nutrients that include original investigation or systematic review studies of the effects of caffeine intake on human performance and health. The diversity of the articles published in this Special Issue highlights the extent of the effects of coffee and caffeine on human functioning, while underpinning the positive nature of most of these effects. This book will help with understanding why the natural sources of caffeine are so widely present in the nutrition behaviors of modern society.

Abstract

Sarcopenia represents the decline in skeletal muscle mass and function with age, characterized by the muscle fiber's quality, strength, muscle endurance, and metabolic ability decreasing, as well as the fat and connective tissue growing.Reduction of muscle strength with aging leads to loss of functional capacity, causing disability, mortality, and other adverse health outcomes. Because of the increase of the proportion of elderly in the population, sarcopenia-related morbidity will become an increasing area of health care resource utilization.Diagnostic screening consists of individuation of body composition, assessed by DEXA, anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance, MRI, or CT scan. Management is possible with resistance training exercise and vibration therapy, nutritional supplements, and pharmacological treatment.The book includes articles from different nationalities, treating the experimental and medical applications of sarcopenia. The consequences of sarcopenia in frailty are treated in relation to other associated pathologies or lesions, as femoral neck fractures and hepatocellular carcinoma.
