Background Sprain ankle is a common musculoskeletal injury, characterized by partially or completely tear of its ligaments, due to sudden stretching, which commonly occurs when the ankle is suddenly twisted, during sportive activities (running, jumping), at athletes or by stepping off an uneven surface, at sedentary people. Purpose of this study, was to show the efficiency of physical exercises programme in sprain ankle treatment, by studying the speciality literature. Methods The 22 subjects, represented by seden...

Background Taking into account, that many recent research papers about functional anatomy, emphasized strong connections between motor cerebral areas and pre-frontal ones and that professional training performed on a period of time longer than 5 years, produced cerebral hemispheres functional plastic modifications, we consider opportune, to study the effects of long term physical effort, over cerebral activity at athletes, with a professional sportive experience longer than 5 years, from different sports as handba...

Background Our research aimed to outline the muscular activity characteristics at athletes, with the help of sEMG parameters indexes, at the same time, trying to prove their relevance, in defining, from electrophysiological point of view, the corresponding studied sports. Methods We have studied a group formed of 22 male athletes, 11 fencers and 11 volleyball players, active for at least 6 years, exclusively in either one of the studied sports, with homogeneous average ages, heights, weights and training regime. E...

Background Our research aim was to emphasized different neurological patterns at athletes, by evaluating the parameters of somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) and compare the obtained results, in order to demonstrate the influence of specific professional training over the cortex. Methods The tested subjects were a group of 21 male athletes, with an average age of 19 years, which practiced fencing or handball, for at least 6 years, homogeneous regarding age, height, weight and training regime. We used the Nihon K...
