There are several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the literature on musculoskeletal rehabilitation that compare different types of exercise; however, the comparison is not relevant because the groups generally perform different physical efforts, and the researchers are not aware of this, nor do they control for the confounding variables.
To discuss the methods of comparison of different types of exercises in musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
Short communication developed at the Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar), São Carlos (SP), Brazil.
A narrative review of the motion cadence, time-under-tension, actual duration of an exercise session, and total physical effort was conducted.
To compare the different types of exercise, it is crucial that the parameters of the proposed exercises are the same between the groups, i.e., the exercise intensity, total physical effort, and actual duration of the exercise session.
It is correct to compare different types of exercise, however, in the field of musculoskeletal rehabilitation, RCTs adequately controlled for these variables are lacking.
关于肌肉骨骼康复的文献中有多项随机对照试验(RCT)比较了不同类型的运动;然而,这种比较并不相关,因为各组通常进行的体力活动不同,而研究人员并未意识到这一点,也未对混杂变量进行控制。
探讨肌肉骨骼康复中不同类型运动的比较方法。
在巴西圣保罗州圣卡洛斯市的圣卡洛斯联邦大学(UFSCar)开展的简短交流。
对运动节奏、张力下时间、一次训练的实际时长以及总体力消耗进行叙述性综述。
为比较不同类型的运动,各组之间所提议运动的参数相同至关重要,即运动强度、总体力消耗以及一次训练的实际时长。
比较不同类型的运动是正确的,然而,在肌肉骨骼康复领域,缺乏对这些变量进行充分控制的随机对照试验。
