The purpose of this study was to test for significant link between personality trait and muscle dysmorphia in bodybuilders. A total of 212 bodybuilders filled the muscle dysmorphia inventory of which 44.3% (n = 94) were found to be muscle dysmorphic. Their personality traits assessed using eysenck personality profiler in the vienna testing system machine revealed 65% of muscle dysmorphic bodybuilders being predominantly oriented toward extroversion type of personality. Further statistical analysis revealed, the significance between the muscle dysmorphia inventory and the personality traits and its results are discussed. Estimating the prevalence and categorizing based on personality has rather opened a new gateway to identify such vulnerable men who are susceptible to their own drive for muscularity.

OBJECTIVE:To quantify the deficit in proprioceptive function in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) deficiency and to quantify the improvement after Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction. Type of Study: Prospective cohort study. METHODS: The study included 73 patients (49 men, 24 women; mean age 26.8 years; range 21 to 40 years) who underwent Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction was performed using either a patellar tendon or a hamstring auto graft. All patients followed a standard rehabilitation program. Proprioceptive function in the form of (B. I) Balance Index Score was tested using Kinesthetic Ability Trainer (SPORT KAT 1750) preoperatively and at the end of third and sixth months after surgery. Their contralateral knees served as control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
