Cross Education; : The effect of 10 weeks of unilateral resistance training on strength and hypertrophyDerakhti, Mikael, Åkerlund, John January 2016 (has links)
Abstract Aim The main purpose of this study was to investigate Cross Education (CE), and how gender, detraining and leg dominance affects CE in previously untrained subjects when conducting a unilateral resistance training program. We also investigated if unilateral resistance training can give a hypertrophic response. Method Twenty healthy previously untrained individuals, 10 females and 10 males, were recruited as volunteer participants. The participants were randomly assigned to train either left or right leg. The training intervention was 10 weeks (34 sessions) of unilateral resistance training in the leg press and leg extension, sixteen of the participants fulfilled the criteria for inclusion. After two initial familiarization the participants trained conventional resistance training three times a week (week 1-3, 5-7 and 9-10) and Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) five times a week (week 4 and 8). One repetition maximum for both legs in the leg press and leg extension was tested pre-, post and post20 to the training intervention as well as ultrasound measurements of muscle thickness. Results The ten-week training period resulted in a significant increase of maximal strength for the untrained leg 18,9 %, (16,6) (p < 0,01) in the leg press and 6,7 %, (3,7) (p < 0,05) in the leg extension. When comparisons between gender were made only men had a significant increase 26,5 %, (16,7) (p < 0,01) in the leg press and 9,9 %, (4,7) (p < 0,05) in the leg extension. Also, we saw a significant difference between women and men on a group level. Comparisons of dominant vs non-dominant leg showed that training the dominant leg resulted in a significant increase of maximal strength in the untrained leg in both the leg press 22 %, (17,9) (p < 0,01) and leg extension 10,1 %, (4,3) (p < 0,05). The maximal strength in the untrained leg was not significantly altered by the detraining period and a significant increase of muscle thickness could be seen in the untrained leg at MP50 4,7 %, (1,3) (p < 0,01). Conclusion The conclusions are that a ten week unilateral resistance training intervention results in a CE effect for men but not for women and that this type of training also can result in an increased muscle thickness in the untrained leg. Our findings also supports that training the dominant limb has superior effect on achieving a CE effect. Lastly we conclude that a twenty week detraining period did not affect the CE achieved strength. / Abstrakt Syfte Studiens huvudsakliga syfte var att undersöka Cross Education (CE) och hur kön, viloperiod och ben-dominans påverkar CE hos otränade individer när man undergår ett unilateralt styrketräningsprogram. Vi undersökte även om ett unilateral styrketräning kunde ge ett hypertrofisvar. Metod Tjugo friska otränade och för närvarande inaktiva individer, tio kvinnor och tio män rekryterades som frivilliga deltagare. Deltagarna randomiserades för att träna antingen vänster eller höger ben. Träningsperioden var tio veckor (trettiofyra pass) av unilateral styrketräning i benpress och benspark, sexton deltagare uppfyllde kriterierna för inkludering. Två initiala familjäriseringspass hölls varefter träningen delades in i två typer av träning, dels konventionell styrketräning tre gånger i veckan (vecka 1-3, 5-7 och 9-10) och dels Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) fem gånger i veckan (vecka 4 och 8). Före, efter och efter tjugo veckor testades one repetition maximum för båda benen i benpress och benspark samt att ultraljudsmätningar för muskeltjocklek utfördes. Resultat Den tio veckor långa träningsperioden resulterade i en signifikant ökning av den maximala styrkan för det otränade benet 18,9 % (16,6) (p < 0,010) i benpressen och 6,7 % (3,7) (p < 0,050) i bensparken. När jämförelser gjordes mellan könen så hade enbart män en signifikant ökning, 26,5 % (16,7) (p < 0,010) i benpressen och 9,9 % (4,7) (p < 0,050) i bensparken. Vi fann även att det var en signifikant skillnad mellan kvinnor och män på gruppnivå. Jämförelser mellan dominant och icke-dominant ben visade att träning av det dominanta benet resulterade i en signifikant styrkeökning i både benpress 22 % (17,9) (p < 0,010) och benspark 10,1 % (4,3) (p < 0,050). Den maximala styrkan i det otränade benet påverkades inte signifikant av en viloperiod och en signifikant ökning i muskeltjocklek kunde ses i det otränade benet i MP50 4,7 % (1,3) (p < 0,010) Konklusion Slutsatserna är att en tio veckors unilateral styrketräningsintervention resulterar i en CE effekt hos män men inte hos kvinnor, och att denna typ av träning kan resultera i en ökad muskeltjocklek i det otränade benet. Våra fynd styrker att träning av den dominanta lemmen har större effekt på CE. Slutligen drar vi slutsatsen att en tjugo veckors viloperiod inte påverkar CE-styrkan.

Contralateral Limb Assessment: Novel Perspectives from Danish CPOs in Diabetic Care : An exploratory qualitative studyGregersen, Una, Heick, Emilie January 2024 (has links)
Background: The number of people with diabetes is rising globally, and they are at higher risk of foot complications that can ultimately result in lower limb amputation. Additionally, individuals with diabetes whoundergo amputation are more likely to lose the contralateral limb. Consistent care and preventive measuresare crucial for reducing the risk of further amputations. Aim: This study aims to explore the current experience of certified prosthetist and orthotist in Denmarkconcerning the assessment of the contralateral limb in individuals with diabetes who utilize a lower limbprosthesis. Method: A qualitative study with an exploratory research design was conducted. Thematic analysis, using aninductive approach was employed to analyze data from eight semi-structured interviews with CPOs from Denmark. Findings: The analysis of the interview results revealed three main themes - responsibility, prioritization,and barriers - which frequently overlap. Each theme had multiple sub-themes which highlights the variationin the participants’ experiences. Conclusion: The variation in responses gathered from the interviews unveiled diverse perspectives on responsibility, prioritization, and barriers which points to a lack of clear guidelines in the Danish healthcaresystem regarding this assessment of the contralateral limb in this patient group. This study offers novel insightsinto the diverse experiences and decision-making processes of Danish CPOs when it comes to the contralaterallimb assessment in diabetic foot care. / <p></p><p></p>
