Postural asymmetry due to the alterations in scapular posture is typically considered to be associated with injury. Pectoralis minor (PM) has played a crucial role in scapular posture, but limited knowledge exists that shows the possible effect of PM length on static scapular positioning in adolescents. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between static scapular positioning and two different PM length measurements in adolescents. Pearson rank test demonstrated that direct measurements of the PM length significantly and strongly inversely correlated to scapular anterior tilting (p = .01; r = −.592)and significantly and moderately inversely correlated to scapular internal rotation (p = .013; r = −.465) and scapular downward rotation (p = .028; r = −.416). However, indirect measurement of the PM length was not related to scapular posture. No significant correlation was found between direct and indirect PM length measurements. Direct measurement of PM length presents more information regarding alterations of the static scapular positioning.
The Effects of Stroboscopic Training in Athletes With Chronic Ankle Instability

This study aimed to determine the effects of a 6-week stroboscopic balance training program on balance scores in athletes with chronic ankle instability. Balance was evaluated before and after the 6-week balance training program. After the program, there were no differences between the strobe and nonstrobe groups in static balance. In terms of dynamic balance, the strobe group showed a significant increase in limits of stability between pretest and posttest and terms of dynamic balance, the strobe group showed a significant increase in limits of stability between pretest and posttest and had significantly greater limits of stability than the nonstrobe group at posttest. Stroboscopic balance training may be useful in improving dynamic balance in athletes with chronic ankle instability.
Changes in Amplitude of Hamstring Electromyographic Activity and Its Peak Location During Nordic Hamstring Exercise by Adding External Load
Toshiaki Soga, Hiromi Saito, Kei Akiyama, and Norikazu Hirose
This crossover trial aimed to investigate whether additional loading of unilateral Nordic hamstring exercise on a sloped platform would increase the biceps femoris long head electromyographic activity. Participants were randomly allocated to unilateral Nordic hamstring exercise under three conditions: bodyweight only (BW) or BW with an added weighted ball of 3 kg (BW + 3 kg) or 6 kg (BW + 6 kg), respectively. The biceps femoris long head electromyographic activity was significantly higher for BW + 6 kg (p < .001) than for BW and BW + 3 kg (p < .01). Therefore, adding a load to unilateral Nordic hamstring exercise on a sloped platform might be effective for rehabilitation and prevention of hamstring strain injury recurrence.
