Exploring Exercise Interventions for Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Scoping Review.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most prevalent sleep disorder caused by breathing difficulties, characterized by repeated episodes of airway blockage while sleeping. Various interventions have been used to improve the symptoms and overall health of individuals with OSA. However, few studies have focused on the impact of exercise on OSA.

The Effect of Fatigue on Shoulder Proprioception: A Narrative Review of the Literature.

Recent findings suggest that most sports-related injuries occur during the latter stages of these activities, often due to fatigue, which can impair proprioception and increase the risk of injury. Proprioception can be divided into three categories: joint position sense, the sense of movement (kinesthesia), and the sense of force reproduction. While several studies have examined how exercise-induced fatigue affects various aspects of proprioception on lower limb joints, research focusing on the shoulder joint is limited.

Effect of concentric exercise-induced fatigue on proprioception, motor control and performance of the upper limb in handball players.

Background: The last phases of a competitive game are when shoulder injuries most commonly happen, and fatigue is thought to be a major contributing factor, perhaps because of reduced proprioception and motor control. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of concentric fatigue on proprioception, motor control, and performance of the upper limb in handball players.

Methods: Forty-six right-handed handball players (all males, age 26.

Concentric exercise-induced fatigue of the shoulder impairs proprioception but not motor control or performance in healthy young adults.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of concentric fatigue on proprioception, motor control and performance of the shoulder in healthy young adults.

Design: Test-retest experimental design.

Setting: Human performance laboratory.

Can resistance training improve throwing performance in handball players? A Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Throwing is one of the most important movement in handball. Throwing performance is crucial for success in handball.

Objective: Τo investigate the level of evidence for the effect of resistance training (RT) on throwing performance in handball players.

Risk factors for shoulder injuries in handball: systematic review.

Background: Handball is a sport with a high number of severe injuries. The shoulder is one of the most commonly injured joints, with an average prevalence of 17-41%.

Objective: The primary aim is to identify the most significant risk factors related to shoulder injuries in handball.

Evidence of distorted proprioception and postural control in studies of experimentally induced pain: a critical review of the literature.

Objectives: Deficits in proprioception and postural control are common in patients with different musculoskeletal pain syndromes. It has been proposed that pain can negatively affect proprioception and postural control at a peripheral level, however research is limited to animal studies. Human studies have shown that it is more likely, that the link between pain and proprioceptive deficits, lies within changes in the central nervous system where noxious and non-noxious stimuli may overlap.

Effectiveness of neural mobilization in patients with spinal radiculopathy: a critical review.

Spinal radiculopathy (SR) is a multifactorial nerve root injury that can result in significant pain, psychological stress and disability. It can occur at any level of the spinal column with the highest percentage in the lumbar spine. Amongst the various interventions that have been suggested, neural mobilization (NM) has been advocated as an effective treatment option.
