Does Added Load Increase the PFJ Loading Variables Associated with PFJ Pain in Running?

Research Paper Title Patellofemoral Joint Stress during Running with Added Load in Females. Background Patellofemoral joint (PFJ) pain syndrome is a commonly reported form of pain in female runners and military personnel. Increased PFJ stress may be a contributing factor. Few studies have examined PFJ stress running with added load. The purpose was to analyse… Read More

Do Functional Movement Screen Items predict Dynamic Balance under Military Torso Load?

Research Paper Title Functional Movement Screen Items Predict Dynamic Balance Under Military Torso Load. Background Musculoskeletal injuries threaten military readiness and impose a significant financial burden. The functional movement screen (FMS), a 7-item, preparticipation screening tool, may aid in identifying compensatory movement patterns that can hinder physical performance and lead to injuries in active-duty military… Read More

Can an Imbalance between Total Training Load & Total Recovery cause Overtraining?

Research Paper Title Excessive Treadmill Training Enhances Brain-Specific MicroRNA-34a in the Mouse Hippocampus. Background An imbalance between total training load and total recovery may cause overtraining (OT). The purpose of the present study was to verify the effects of OT on the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), its receptor tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB)… Read More

Does Running with Body Borne Load Elevate Injury Risk by Increasing Leg Stiffness & vGRFs?

Research Paper Title Sex and stride length impact leg stiffness and ground reaction forces when running with body borne load. Background This study quantified leg stiffness and vertical ground reactions forces (vGRF) measures for males and females using different stride lengths to run with four body borne loads (20, 25, 30, and 35 kg). Methods Thirty-six… Read More
