Muscle function has been used to measure the healthy and functional
capacity of patients, sportsmen and athletes. The knowledge about
muscle function and how to properly evaluate it can be determinant
factors for the success of therapies during the treatment of many
diseases, as well as improving muscle performance. Handgrip
strength is a measure of maximum voluntary force of the hand. It
has been reliable, valid and an objective parameter to evaluate
overall muscular strength, and for this reason, it has been used as
a predictor of physical disability. There are several techniques to
treat and rehabilitate muscle function such as the proprioceptive
neuromuscular facilitation technique (PNF), functional training and
traditional muscular strengthening. Physical exercises produce
unquestionable health benefits, and when used properly, physical
exercise can treat or become an adjuvant therapy for many diseases
such as cancer, diabetes mellitus and patients with chronic heart
failure. In addition to all the health benefits of exercise, new
techniques of rehabilitation and the improvement of muscle
performance were included in this book through the use of muscle
strengthening associated to technological therapies, such as
phototherapy (laser and light-emitting diodes), for muscle repair
and performance. During your reading, this book will provide you
with concepts, techniques and new perspectives about physical
exercises that will become differential knowledge for health
professionals to treat patients and/or make champions using
powerful tools: physical exercise and technology.
