Background Field hockey is characterised by high rates of hamstings strain injuries (HSI). While the Nordic Hamtrings (NH) is the most commonly used exercise in the prevention and rehabilitation of HSI, no study has investigated its isolated benefits compared to other well-established exercises in hockey players. Objective To compare the effects of two hamstring strengthening interventions (nordic hamstrings (NH) vs. eccentric leg curl (ELC)) on the hamstrings torque-angle profiles and functiona...
Abstract Objectives To assess the feasibility of Zumba Gold ® in people with PD, and to investigate the effects of dance styles and number of sessions on activity levels and physiological load. Design Repeated measure uncontrolled (single group) feasibility study. Setting Eleven participants (age: 64.0±8.1years) with mild-to-moderate idiopathic PD (Hoehn & Yahr stage ® workouts each separated by one week, and a follow-up interview six months later.

Background: The most effective exercise dose has yet to be established for multiple sclerosis (MS).Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different exercise intensities in people with MS.Methods: We completed a randomized comparator study of three cycling exercise intensities, with blinded assessment, was carried out in Oxford. Sixty-one adults with MS who fulfilled inclusion criteria were randomized at entry into the study, using a computer-generated list held by an e...
