Background. Blood flow restriction (BFR) training is gaining increasing attention in the scientific community. Studies using exercise combined with blood flow restriction have shown muscle strength and size improvement. In fact, the main feature of BFR training is that can elicit muscle hypertrophy and strength adaptations using light external loads (20-30% one repetition maximum, 1RM) comparable to what is typically seen following high-load (HL) training programs with 70-85% 1RM. This specific training has applications for individuals who may not be able to tolerate the mechanical stresses associated with higher loads, such as the elderly or injured; thus, several investigations have focused on implementing BFR exercise within older and clinical populations. However, the effects of this kind of technique in healthy athletes are not clear in scientific literature. The purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review with meta-analysis to evaluate the qualitative and quantitative results of blood flow restriction training in healthy athletes. Methods. PRISMA guidelines were used to carry out the systematic review and meta-analysis. Three electronic databases were searched: MEDLINE, PEDro, and the Cochrane Library. Papers included in the study have the following characteristics: a) a randomized controlled trial or clinical trial design of research, b) studies investigating physiological effects of BFR training in healthy athletes and c) published in English. The approach to data extraction was chosen on the basis of the Cochrane Methods. Studies quality and risk of bias of the clinical trials included were evaluated according to a Jadad score and through meta-analysis. Results. After the elimination of duplicates, 164 records were screened. Among these, 14 studies were included in the systematic review. Seven of these were involved in the meta-analysis. From the qualitative analysis, a larger number of studies were found with a low level of quality. Conclusions. The application of BFR positively influences muscular adaptations compared with exercise under normal blood-flow conditions, in terms of increased VO 2 max, higher strength increase, and muscles adaptations. Thus, BFR provides a feasible, promising, and beneficial complementary training stimuli when used in a controlled environment supervised by trained and experienced personnel.

“…This study showed that the NAHS is considered a good instrument for the evaluation of young and active patients with hip disease. NAHS is a good instrument in clinical practice and in research studies because it is very simple, self-administered and quick to complete (only 5 minutes) and to understand for a maximum compliance of the patient and it is specific for young and physically active individuals [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

BACKGROUNDː the aim of the study was to translate the Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS) questionnaire into the Italian language, to adapt it into the Italian culture and to validate it. METHODSː Translation and cultural adaptation were performed following international guidelines. To assess the reliability of the tool internal consistency and test-retest reliability were evaluated through Cronbach's alpha and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) respectively. Validity was evaluated by Pearson's correlation coefficient between the NAHS, the Lequesne Index of Severity for Osteoarthritis of the Hip (LISOH) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), that were administered together. These three questionnaires were applied to a population of 64 individuals between 19 and 82 years old with generic hip injures or diseases.RESULTSː The items of the original version of NAHS are similar or equal to the items of the Italian version of NAHS. Cronbach's α was 0.614 (Pain); 0.821 (Symptom); 0.877 (Function); 0.896 (Activity). ICC for total score was 0.905. The correlation with the WOMAC was 0.850 (p< 0.01) and with the LISOH was 0.738 (p<0.01).CONCLUSIONSː The NAHS showed positive results for reliability and validity so it was translated into Italian language and was cross-culturally adapted to Italian culture. This questionnaire is a good instrument in clinical practice and scientific research for the evaluation of young and active individuals affected by hip injures or diseases.

Background. Iliotibial band syndrome (IBS) one of the most common injury of the lateral knee. This is an overuse injury, and it has an increased occurrence rate in populations favouring running and other multidisciplinary endurance sports. In many cases, the pain quickly subsides upon cessation of activities. For this reason, rehabilitation plays an essential role in reducing days of inactivity. Objective. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the qualitative results of conservative rehabilitation treatments of IBS. Methods. The following four electronic databases were systematically searched from March to May 2020: Medline, PEDro, Scopus and Web of Science. Papers included in the study met the following prerequisites: experimental studies with or without a control group about conservative treatments of IBS. Titles, key words, and abstracts identified through the databases were screened independently by two reviewers/searchers. Duplicates were first eliminated from the total number of studies found in the literature through the four databases. Subsequently, after reading the title and abstract, studies against the inclusion criteria were eliminated. Two reviewers independently extracted patient demographics and descriptive information. These characteristics were judged on the basis of information provided in the reports on the studies. Study quality and risks of bias were assessed using the Jadad scale and Pedro scale. Results. Twelve experimental studies were included in this systematic review. Three of these are Radomized Controlled Trials three are pre-post-test and six are case reports and case series. Conclusions. IBS responds positively to conservative treatment. More precisely, in the acute phase, shockwaves can be used, and rest and ice are recommended. Stretching and strengthening exercises should be started after the acute phase. Mulligan techniques on the hip and knee can also be used to treat iliotibial band syndrome.
