I am big into Facbook.

A lot of times when I am bored, I will go on Facbook to see what others are doing.

I am also adding a lot more stuff on injuries and exercises over there.

I try to put up a quote of the day and an article that I have read that day.  A lot of people are getting a lot of benefit from all the stuff I am putting up.

If you are looking for some more stuff on exercises and injuries, make sure to visit my Facebook page – http://www.facebook.com/Rick.Kaselj

Patella Femoral Solutions Review The Best Exercise for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

What Exercise is Ideal for Clients with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome due to Muscle Imbalances

Leg Extension 202x300 The Best Exercise for Patellofemoral Pain SyndromeApproximately 60% of athletes have patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) sometime in their life, and a long line of research has shown that PFPS is primarily caused by muscle imbalances in the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscles.

 

Activation, endurance and strengthening of these muscles is key to PFPS prevention and rehabilitation, but the best exercises for these muscles have not been conclusively determined.

 

In an effort to help clarify contradictory findings in the exercise science literature on this topic, researchers in the United Kingdom conducted a study designed to test the effect of two closed kinetic chain exercises and one open kinetic chain exercise on VMO and VL muscle activity in healthy individuals.

 

Highlights of the Study

 

The study’s participants were 11 men and 11 women between the ages of 18 and 40 who were not experiencing any symptoms of PFPS at the time of the study.

 

Researchers used electromyography (EMG) to measure VMO and VL activity and calculate a VMO:VL ratio while the participants performed three quadriceps-strengthening exercises after a 5-minute indoor cycling warm-up.

 

Other Amazing Stats about Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

 

- incident rates in the general population of 25%
- one of the most common injuries in the lower body
- the ratio of VMO:VL should be 1:1 but in people with PFPS it is estimated to be 0.54:1.
- muscle imbalance of VMO:VL leads to a decrease in medial pull leading to patella maltracking
