Raya-González, Javier; Suarez-Arrones, Luis; Sanchez-Sanchez, Javier; Ramirez-Campillo, Rodrigo; Nakamura, Fabio Y.; Sáez De Villarreal, Eduardo – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2021
Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the short and long-term effects of a simple strength training program on muscle injury prevention in soccer players. Methods: Twenty-seven U-19 elite male soccer players participated in the study. The investigation was conducted over two consecutive and similar seasons (e.g., the same staff, players,…

Nasser, Igor; Perez, Renata de Mello; Reis, Michel Silva; Dias, Ingrid; Willardson, Jeffrey M.; Miranda, Humberto – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2020
Purpose: This study compared the acute effects of two different resistance training methods on heart rate variability, blood pressure, and rating of perceived exertion in patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods: Ten patients with Child-Pugh A (seven women and three men) participated in two experimental sessions, in random order: The traditional set…

Virtuoso, Janeisa Franck; Menezes, Enaiane Cristina; Mazo, Giovana Zarpellon – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2019
Purpose: To determine if weight training combined with pelvic floor muscle training is more efficient than pelvic floor muscle training alone for the treatment of urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms in elderly women. Method: This was a two-arm, parallel, randomized controlled trial. Twenty-six women with stress UI participated in the study. The…

Buskard, Andrew N. L.; Gregg, Heath R.; Ahn, Soyeon – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2018
Guidelines for improving maximal concentric strength through resistance training (RT) have traditionally included large muscle-group exercises, full ranges of motion, and a load approximating 85% of the 1-repetition maximum (1RM). Supramaximal eccentric training (SME; controlled lowering of loads above the concentric 1RM) has also been shown to be…

Kozlowski, Karl F.; Lopata, Christopher; Donnelly, James P.; Thomeer, Marcus L.; Rodgers, Jonathan D.; Seymour, Clancy – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2021
Purpose: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) without intellectual disability (ID) exhibit social and motor impairments and circumscribed interests/behaviors that contribute to lower physical activity (PA) levels. Despite the need for exercise interventions for these children, there is a dearth of evidence-based treatments. This study…

Roldán, Ainoa; Cordellat, Ana; Monteagudo, Pablo; García-Lucerga, Consolación; Blasco-Lafarga, Nieves M.; Gomez-Cabrera, Ma Carmen; Blasco-Lafarga, Cristina – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2019
Purpose: This study aims to analyze changes in Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (MIP), lung function, cardiorespiratory fitness, and blood pressure, in 10 healthy active elderly women, following 7 weeks of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) combined with a multicomponent training program (MCTP). The association among these health parameters, their…

Rhea, Matthew R.; Alderman, Brandon L. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2004
The purpose of this study was to quantitatively combine and examine the results of studies examining the effectiveness of periodized (PER) compared to nonperiodized (Non-PER) training programs for strength and/or power development. Two analyses were conducted to (a) examine the magnitude of treatment effect elicited by PER strength training…
