The effects of different types of stress (water bathing, cold, restraint, and prolonged walking) on histidine decarboxylase (HDC) activity in masseter, quadriceps femoris, and pectoralis superficial muscles, and in the stomach were examined in mice. All of these stresses elevated gastric HDC activity. Although water bathing, in which muscle activity was slight, was sufficiently stressful to produce gastric hemorrhage and to increase gastric HDC activity, it produced no detectable elevation of HDC activity in any of the muscles examined. The other stresses all elevated HDC activity in all three muscles. We devised two methods of restraint, one accompanied by mastication and the other not. The former elevated HDC activity in the masseter muscle, but the latter did not. These results suggest that 1) HDC activity in the stomach is an index of responses to stress, 2) the elevation of HDC activity in skeletal muscles during stress is induced partly or wholly by muscle activity and/or muscle tension, and 3) stress itself does not always induce an elevation of HDC activity in skeletal muscles.

Twelve human subjects were studied to determine the effect of three different floor surfaces on the medial shin musculature during stationary running. Electromyographic equipment, gated by an accelerometer affixed to the subject's shin, was used to separate the impact (eccentric) phase from the propulsive (concentric) phase of each running step. Excessive eccentric muscle activity has been associated with increased muscle damage, and recent investigations have linked medial tibial shin pain with actual structural damage to the muscle-fascial attachments to the posteromedial aspect of the tibia. Therefore, this study tends to verify the previous assumption that running on hard, noncompliant sport surfaces would predispose running and dancing athletes to shin muscle damage and resultant pain.

The aim of this study is to investigate (i) the effect of live and recorded verbal encouragement on muscle activity and ankle force; (ii) the effect of communication/extroversion on the variables; (iii) the reliability intra and inter examiners of the variables. Twenty healthy-youngers were assessed by surface electromyography of tibialis anterior and ankle flexion force by an ergometer twice, with one week apart. No difference was found between ankle force (p = 0.373) and root mean square values (RMS) (p = 0.207) for any of the conditions assessed on day 1 nor between examiners 1 and 2 for both live and recorded conditions in RMS (p = 0.207) and force (p = 0.373). Between the 1st and 7th days, there were no differences for any of the conditions on RMS (main effect “Day” p = 0.261, “condition” p = 0.568, interaction p = 0.936) or force (main effect“Day” p = 0.889, “condition” p = 0.781, interaction p = 0.961). Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for the ankle force were, for without verbal encouragement (ICC2, k = 0.880), live verbal encouragement of examiner 1 (ICC2, k = 0.870), and recorded verbal encouragement of examiner 1 (ICC2, k = 0.920). RMS without verbal encouragement condition (ICC2, k = 0.860), live verbal encouragement of examiner 1 (ICC2, k = 0.930) and recorded verbal encouragement of examiner 1 (ICC2, k = 0.920). Reproducibility between the two examiner’s live encouragements for ankle force (ICC3, k = 0.981) and RMS (ICC3, k = 0.920). There was no effect of the presence or type of the augmented feedback in RMS and ankle force. We conclude that verbal encouragement does not influence ankle torque or muscle activity and there is good to excellent intra and inter rater reliability for subjects’ performance regardless of verbal encouragement modality. In addition, we observed that psychological traits Communication and Emotional stability does not affect the subjects’ strength performance at the ankle.
