Braz J Phys Ther. 2021;25:500-13
Highlights

  • This review provides prevalence of overuse injuries in athletes from individual and team sports.

  • Current low-quality evidence suggests that the prevalence is likely to change with future high-quality studies.

  • The prevalence of overuse injuries in individual sports (42.0%) was higher than in team sports (33.0%).

  • The high prevalence levels of overuse injuries in athletes might compromise athletes participation and performance.

Effects of different electrical stimulation currents and phase durations on submaximal and maximum torque, efficiency, and discomfort: a randomized crossover trial
Natália Lucília Pinto Damo, Karenina Arrais Modesto, Ivo Vieira de Sousa Neto, Martim Bottaro, Nicolas Babault, João Luiz Quaglioti Durigan
Braz J Phys Ther. 2021;25:593-600
Highlights

  • KFAC and PC NMES induced similar relative submaximal and maximum evoked-torque and perceived discomfort for a given phase duration.

  • Regardless of NMES-type, the wider phase duration resulted in higher current NMES-efficiency in generating evoked-torque.

  • For different types of current, intensity was not related to the maximum perceived discomfort to produce submaximal contractions.
