Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an exercise protocol designed to induce delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in paraspinal muscles and its effects on low back functional capacities.

Methods

Twenty-four healthy participants were asked to perform four series of 25 trunk flexion–extension in a prone position (45° inclined Roman chair). The protocol was performed using loads corresponding to participant’s trunk weight plus 10% of their trunk extension maximal voluntary contraction. Perceived soreness and pain were assessed using an 11-point numerical analogue scale three times a day during 5 day post-DOMS protocol. Pressure-pain thresholds (PPT) in paraspinal muscles (L2 and L4 bilaterally) and the vastus medialis (control site), and trunk extension maximal voluntary contraction were assessed 24–36 h post-protocol and compared to baseline (t tests).

Results

Muscle soreness (3.8/10) and pain (2.1/10) peak scores were observed 24–36 h post-protocol (mean of 28 h). A significant reduction in trunk extension maximal voluntary contraction was observed post-protocol (p = 0.005). Significant reductions in PPT were observed post-protocol for all trunk extensor sites (ps < 0.01), but not for the control site (p = 0.40).

Conclusions

The exercise protocol efficiently led to low back muscle DOMS, reduced functional capacities, and increased pain sensitivity locally. Such protocol could be used as an efficient and safe experimental low back pain model.

Das Geschlechterparadoxon in der gesundheitlich beeinträchtigten Lebenszeit – Ende eines Mythos?

Open Access Hüftgelenksbewegungseinschränkung Leitthema

Beginnend mit den 1920er-Jahren hat sich eine Vorstellung über die Geschlechterdifferenzen in Gesundheit und Mortalität etabliert, die von Lorber und Moore in dem einprägsamen Satz: „Women get sicker, but men die quicker“, zusammengefasst wurde [ 1 …, S. 13]. Tatsächlich erscheinen vor dem Hintergrund der höheren Lebenserwartung der Frauen die Studienergebnisse zu den Geschlechterdifferenzen in der Morbidität überraschend, wonach Frauen im Durchschnitt einen schlechteren Gesundheitszustand aufweisen als Männer [
