The Effect of Rehabilitation Exercises with Electromyographic (EMG) Assessment on the Rehabilitation of Chondromalacia Patellae and Functional Performance in Weightlifters.
type: item
description: The knee joint is considered one of the most important joints in the human body and is particularly susceptible to injury, especially in high-intensity sports. Among the common knee injuries is Chondromalacia Patella, which frequently occurs in weightlifting. This condition results in an imbalance in the function of the quadriceps femoris muscle, where weakness develops in the medial portion of the muscle alongside increased strength in the lateral portion, allowing the patella to deviate outward. The treatment of this condition is typically medical, either through pharmacological therapy or the use of physical therapy modalities such as electrical stimulation and heat therapy. However, since the injury is fundamentally characterized by muscular weakness, its effective management relies on therapeutic exercises aimed at addressing weakness and muscular atrophy. The significance of this study lies in the development of a therapeutic program consisting of rehabilitative exercises represented by strength exercises with progressively increasing intensity, targeting different types of muscular strength to improve the strength of the affected muscle. The researcher relied on electromyography (EMG) indicators—namely reaction time, continuity, and wavelength—to measure the improvement and development of the affected muscle. This approach is intended to provide rehabilitation specialists and coaches with a scientific framework to alleviate the pain experienced by weightlifters, which hinders their performance and may lead to frustration and loss of hope in recovery, ultimately causing withdrawal from training and competition. Accordingly, the aim of the study is to design a proposed therapeutic program consisting of rehabilitative movement exercises to improve and treat Chondromalacia Patella in weightlifters. The researcher employed the experimental method due to its suitability for the nature of the study. The research population and sample were selected using a purposive …

The effect of water resistance (weightlifting) training on developing the muscular strength of the armed arm in disabled fencing athletes
type: item
description: This research aims to identify the effect of a weight training program in an aquatic environment on developing the arm strength of para-fencing athletes. This was achieved by (developing a training program using aquatic resistance (weights) to develop the muscular power of the armed arm in para-fencing athletes, and determining the effect of the proposed program on the muscular power of the armed arm in para-fencing athletes). The researcher used the experimental method, deemed suitable for the nature of the research, and employed an experimental design. The research was conducted on a sample of (8) para-fencing athletes from the Sulaymaniyah Club in Iraq, Category A, under 23 years of age. Among the most important conclusions was a significant improvement in the maximum strength of the arm muscles, explosive power of the arms, strength endurance, static contractile strength of the arms, and muscle response speed. This reflects the program's ability to increase the productive force required to perform the bench press with heavier weights. This improvement is attributed to the combination of weight loading and dynamic water resistance. One of the most important recommendations is the necessity of implementing training programs that integrate weights with aquatic training, given their positive impact on developing the muscular capabilities of the arms. For para-fencing athletes, aquatic training is a fundamental part of their physical conditioning programs due to its ability to reduce stress on joints while maintaining effective resistance. Rapid resistance drills in water are used to improve explosive power and muscular response speed in the arms.
