Effects of long-term resistance training and simultaneous electro-stimulation on muscle strength and functional mobility in multiple sclerosis

Description : Background: Resistance training studies in multiple sclerosis (MS) often use short intervention periods. Furthermore, training efficiency could be optimized by unilateral training and/or electrical stimulation. Objective: To examine the effect(s) of unilateral long-term (20 weeks) standardized resis...

Physical fitness affects the quality of single operator cardiocerebral resuscitation in healthcare professionals

Description : Objective Sustained external chest compressions during cardiocerebral resuscitation (CCR) are physically demanding. It might be hypothesized that a high cardiopulmonary exercise capacity and/or muscle strength delays the development of physical fatigue and, consequently, preserves CCR quality. We i...

The relationship between upper leg muscle strength and walking capacity in persons with Multiple Sclerosis

Description : Background. In persons with MS (PwMS), resistance training improves muscle strength, but effects on walking capacity are inconsistent. Objective. The objective was to determine the relation between different types of upper leg muscle strength measurements and walking capacity in PwMS. Methods. An ...

The influence of a physical exercise programme on functional and instrumental social support in multiple sclerosis

Description : Background: Recent studies highlight the importance of social support in multiple sclerosis (MS). Social support is included in the prognostic risk factors and is believed to correlate statistically significant with an early development of chronic disability. Goals: To examine whether and how social...
