Obstacle course races (OCR) have experienced significant growth in recent years, with millions of participants worldwide. However, there is limited research on the specific physiological demands and injury prevention strategies required for these events. This study aimed to analyze responses risks a 5 km (Sprint) 13 (Super) OCR. Sixty-eight were assessed cortical arousal, leg strength, isometric handgrip blood lactate, heart rate, oxygen saturation, body temperature, urine composition, spirometry values, hamstring flexibility, lower limb stability, foot biomechanics, scapular kinematics, one hour before immediately after races. The results showed decrease strength (Sprint: r = −0.56, p < 0.01; Super: −0.54, 0.01) pH −0.70, 0.03; −0.67, both distances, increases colour, protein, glucose 0.04).

This exploratory observational study analyzed the neuropsychophysiological effects of Functional Neurology interventions on semicircular canal dysfunction, with a focus enhancing neuromuscular responses and pain perception. A cohort 45 healthy volunteers, comprising both males females an average age 26.5 years, participated in this controlled, experimental study. The methodology involved baseline assessments their psychophysiological state physical abilities, followed by specific tests to analyze dysfunction. Participants then received customized treatment aimed at correcting detected imbalances. were evaluated comparing variables such as hand strength, blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, Critical Flicker Fusion Threshold before after intervention. found significant increase tolerance stimuli, from 1.0 ± 0.0 stimuli tolerated intervention 21.0 14.0 post-treatment, suggesting that can markedly improve context vestibular However, no changes observed saturation or cortical arousal, indicating these may not affect all parameters.

Background: Myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) are hyperirritable spots in skeletal muscle associated with pain and dysfunction, often impacting individuals’ quality of life. Various interventions, such as dry needling manual therapy, have shown limited effects addressing these conditions. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness a functional neurology intervention reducing improving function patients MTrPs upper trapezius muscle. We hypothesized that single session would significantly increase pressure threshold (PPT) improve peripheral vascular response individuals myofascial compared control group. Methods: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted 63 participants randomly assigned an experimental (receiving treatment) or Pre- post-treatment assessments were conducted, both intra- inter-group comparisons performed using algometry measure PPT infrared thermography analyze response. Data analyzed dependent independent t-tests statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The group demonstrated significant 46.4% PPT, while showed negligible changes. Thermographic analysis indicated improved blood flow group, reflected by increased skin temperatures reduced thermal anomalies. No differences observed between groups baseline. Conclusions: MTrPs. These findings suggest offers promising non-invasive alternative traditional treatments, potential implications for more rapid sustained therapeutic outcomes.

Objectives: The present study aimed to analyze the psychophysiological and neuromuscular reflex modifications following a single functional neurology intervention in individuals presenting vestibulo-ocular (VOR) cancellation dysfunction. Methods: A total of 66 healthy participants, comprising an experimental group (n = 48; 22 females, 26 males; mean age 28.1 ± 7.8 years) control 18; 9 28.6 7.0 years), underwent comprehensive assessments at four distinct measurement moments: baseline, post-indicator muscle failure pre-intervention, immediately post-functional intervention, post-intervention indicator failure, assessing (handgrip strength) parameters, including blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, cortical arousal (critical flicker fusion threshold, CFFT), pain perception (pressure PPT). treatment was tailored based on ®NeuroReEvolution protocol, emphasizing individualized proprioceptive recalibration, trigger point desensitization, holistic neuroreflex modulation. Results: Statistical analyses indicated significant improvements within intervention. Specifically, tolerance VOR stimuli significantly increased from baseline 1.0 0.0 129.0 36.7 (p < 0.001, η2 0.926), whereas demonstrated no meaningful change. Furthermore, enhancements were noted pressure threshold (27.49 0.67 35.69 0.60 kgf; p 0.029), handgrip strength (20.41 0.72 N 26.56 0.52 N; 0.012), critical (32.24 0.45 Hz 38.32 Hz; 0.003).

A large portion of the world’s population has lactose intolerance. Fundamentally, this condition occurs when small intestine does not produce enough lactase enzyme, which digests disaccharide in milk. Lactose avoiders might unconsciously decide to limit or exclude milk and dairy products from their diets. This group includes people with intolerance, an allergy protein, vegans, those expressing personal preferences. are often self-reported as being intolerant. In review, specific amounts different types presented. The micro- macronutrients them compared daily requirements established by accepted sources. Foods suggested that can play vital roles permanently avoiding lactose-containing products, for example, brussels sprouts, a good source vitamin B1; kale, K; cereals at breakfast B6. Attention is paid mature cheeses they extremely beneficial health due rich elemental compositions, also suitable intolerance low content. information rarely provided on packaging. addition, current state labeling presence food pharmaceutical discussed. term “hidden lactose” introduced include added unexpected foods, drinks, even medicines.
