“…A study conducted by Corrado and colleagues confirmed that physical therapists are at a high risk of developing burnout syndrome. However, the total number of subjects was 118, and the sample size was relatively small [ 23 ]. An article by Deckard and colleagues examined role stress on physical therapists but also had flaws in sampling size [ 18 ].…”

Because of the nature of their work, physical and occupational therapists are at high risk of burnout, which is associated with decreased job satisfaction, medical errors, and mental wellbeing in healthcare professionals. To well manage and minimize potential impact of burnout, risk factors should be determined. This study examined burnout and job stress in physical and occupational therapists in various Korean hospital settings. Physical and occupational therapists from several rehabilitation facilities in South Korea completed a survey between March–May 2019. A set of questionnaires, including the Maslach Burnout Inventory and Job Content Questionnaire, were distributed to all participants. In total, 325 professionals (131 men and 194 women) were recruited. Burnout and work-related stress differed significantly according to several factors. Hospital size, gender, and age were the main contributory factors affecting at least two dimensions of the questionnaires. The more vulnerable group consisted of female therapists in their 20s at small- or medium-sized hospitals with low scores for quality of life. High levels of job stress and burnout were observed in female therapists in their 20s at small- or medium-sized hospitals. Hospitals and society should create suitable environments and understand the nature of therapists’ work to improve healthcare.

“…118 physiotherapists participated and the results showed that 46% of them had or were at risk of developing a burnout syndrome. Males and less experienced physiotherapists were more predisposed compared to females and those with longer experiences in working life [4]. In my opinion, this study also shows that we need to study more our own expectations on what is possible for us to achieve as physiotherapists and what is not.…”

“…I think this study should be repeated in other contexts to give us an even wider picture of what physiotherapy students globally are expecting and appreciating as good characteristics in clinical supervisors and activities in clinical practices. In the last issue for 2019 one study investigated physiotherapists burnout syndrome in Italy [4]. 118 physiotherapists participated and the results showed that 46% of them had or were at risk of developing a burnout syndrome.…”

“…While different molecules have been proposed as method to promote tendon's healing (Sirico et al, 2017) (Bruno Corrado, Mazzuoccolo, et al, 2019, few substances have been studied to promote muscle healing, like PRP (Hamid, Yusof, & Mohamed Ali, 2014). Knowing physiological mechanism behind muscle contraction could promote new rehabilitative approach and interventional procedures in musculoskeletal disorders, favouring more positive results for patients (Gustafsson, DeFreese, & Madigan, 2017), trainers, physiotherapists (Bruno Corrado, Ciardi, Fortunato, & Iammarrone, 2019) and doctors (Dewa, Loong, Bonato, Thanh, & Jacobs, 2014).…”

The physiological mechanisms behind muscle contraction are a main concept in sport medicine and rehabilitation. The sarcomere is the functional unit of skeletal muscle and several proteins definite its complex structure. The most common theory to explain muscle contraction was proposed in the last 50's and has become widely popular and accepted: the "sliding filaments" theory. Even if this hypothesis was able to justify some form of muscle contraction, other processes are not fully described by it. Eccentric contraction and some phenomena, like the "force enhancement during stretch" concept described in the 2002, are not explicable according to the sliding filament theory. Therefore, several hypotheses have been suggested over the years, such as the "popping sarcomeres" theory and the "winding filament" theory. Some other proteins, like titin, have gained a main role in the physiology of the sarcomere and should be relevant to explain mechanisms of eccentric contraction, where the sarcomere generates highest level of tension while it is lengthening. The aim of this review is to summarize the physiological theories of muscle contraction and to define concepts applicable in sport medicine and in rehabilitation areas.
