“…PROMIS outcomes in this study were collected on a time threshold rather than after a certain number of visits. participating in strength training as part of their treatment or for patients building a therapeutic alliance with their provider (Clewley et al, 2020;Currier et al, 2023;Ferreira et al, 2013;Hall et al, 2010;Rand et al, 2007). This may have had an effect on perception and outcomes as patients may have been attending at a variety of frequencies and receiving a variety of treatments (Clewley et al, 2020) over the 6-week collection period, but this was not controlled for in this study.…”

PurposeTo assess and identify patients' perceptions about the overall value of physical therapy services for musculoskeletal conditions and how these values were associated with their outcomes.MethodsThe association between the perceived value of physical therapy (as a score) and Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) pain interference and physical function at 6‐weeks was assessed in a prospective cohort. Generalised linear models were used to identify relationships between the value of physical therapy score and PROMIS outcomes. Kendall's tau was used to identify correlations between responses and outcomes.ResultsA total of 133 participants met the final inclusion criteria. The majority of participants were female (63.9%) with a mean age of 55.53 (SD 15.36) years. A majority of participants (63.9%) reported a previous positive personal experience with physical therapy. There was no significant relationship between perceived value of physical therapy and pain interference (β −0.32, p = 0.07, 95% CI−0.67, 0.03) or physical function (β 0.19, p = 0.29, 95% CI−0.16, 0.54). Stronger beliefs in agreement with the value of non‐invasive treatment were significant, but weakly correlated with lower pain interference (r = −0.18, p = 0.048) and higher physical function scores (r = 0.22, p = 0.03).ConclusionsParticipants had an overall positive perception of the value of physical therapy prior to initiating physical therapy, but this perception was not associated with 6‐week pain and function outcomes. A better understanding of the driving factors encouraging patients to seek physical therapy services is needed to provide value‐based care.

“…Training volume also plays a significant role in training outcomes, particularly for hypertrophy ( Currier et al, 2023 ); however, more may not always be better and may come at a cost. When comparing 12–20 sets per muscle group per week to 20+, there were no significant differences in muscle hypertrophy for most muscle groups ( Baz-Valle et al, 2022 ).…”

Systemic resistance training aims to enhance performance by balancing stress, fatigue and recovery. While fatigue is expected, insufficient recovery may temporarily impair performance. The aim of this review was to examine evidence regarding manipulation of resistance training variables on subsequent effects on recovery and performance. PubMed, Medline, SPORTDiscus, Scopus and CINAHL were searched. Only studies that investigated recovery between resistance training sessions were selected, with a total of 24 articles included for review. Training to failure may lengthen recovery times, potentially impairing performance; however, it may be suitable if implemented strategically ensuring adequate recovery between sessions of similar exercises or muscle groups. Higher volumes may increase recovery demands, especially when paired with training to failure, however, with wide variation in individual responses, it is suggested to start with lower volume, monitor recovery, and gradually increase training volume if appropriate. Exercises emphasising the lower body, multi-joint movements, greater muscle recruitment, eccentric contractions, and/or the lengthened position may require longer recovery times. Adjusting volume and frequency of these exercises can affect recovery demands depending on the goals and training logistics. Daily undulating programming may maximise performance on priority sessions while maintaining purposeful and productive easy days. For example, active recovery in the form of training opposing muscle groups, light aerobic cardio, or low-volume power-type training may improve recovery and potentially elicit a post activation potentiation priming effect compared to passive recovery. However, it is possible that training cessation may be adequate for allowing sufficient recovery prior to sessions of importance.

“…The guidelines suggest up to four sets of an exercise per week for an untrained individual and up to 10 sets per week for trained individuals [31]. However, similar to the increasing load guidelines above, a recent network meta‐analysis suggests that performing resistance training 2–3 times per week achieves the greatest muscle strength and hypertrophy gains [34].…”

Background People with plantar heel pain (PHP) have reduced foot and ankle muscle function, strength and size, which is frequently treated by muscle strengthening exercises. However, there has been little investigation of what exercises are used and there is no sound evidence base to guide practice. This study aimed to develop a consensus-driven progressive muscle strengthening program for PHP. Methods Thirty-eight experts were invited to participate in the study over three rounds. Round 1 was an open-ended questionnaire that provided the core characteristics of progressive strengthening programs designed for three different adult patient types with PHP (younger athletic, overweight middle-aged, older), which were presented as vignettes. In Round 2, experts indicated their agreement to the proposed exercises and training variables. In Round 3, experts were presented with amendments to the exercises based on responses from Round 2 and indicated their agreement to those changes. Consensus was achieved when > 70% of experts agreed. Results Two experts were ineligible and 12 declined, leaving 24 (67%) who participated in Round 1. Eighteen (75%) completed all three rounds. From Round 1, progressive strengthening programs were developed for the three vignettes, which included 10 different exercises and three training variables (sets / repetitions, weight, and frequency). In Round 2, 68% (n = 17) of exercises and 96% (n = 72) of training variables reached consensus. In Round 3, only exercise changes were presented and 100% of exercises reached consensus. Conclusions This study provides three progressive strengthening programs agreed to by experts that can be used in future clinical trials to determine the effectiveness of muscle strengthening for PHP. In addition, clinicians could use the programs as part of a rehabilitation strategy with the caveat that they may change as more research is conducted.
