The construction and implementation of functional progressions as a component of athletic rehabilitation
The Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy
|January 1, 1983
Abstract:
Physical therapists are becoming increasingly visible as contributing members of sports medicine teams. Secondary to this public awareness, many physical therapists with minimal athletic backgrounds may be called upon to prepare a seriously injured athlete for competition. It is the purpose of this paper to introduce the physical therapists to the construction, implementation, and benefits of functional progressions as utilized as an augmentation to athletic rehabilitation.J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1983;5(1):14-19.

01:27Exercise and Muscle Performance
Exercise induces a range of adaptations in muscle tissue, depending on the type and duration of activity. Such physical training can be broadly categorized into two types: endurance exercises and resistance exercises.
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...
