Method and Materials: This systematic review used the PRISMA guidelines. Original research articles published up to December 2023 were retrieved from the PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. The inclusion criteria required studies to (a) be available in full-text English, (b) utilize cross-sectional or longitudinal study designs (experimental or cohort), (c) report electromyography activity as a percentage of Maximal Voluntary Isometric Contraction (%MVIC), (d) analyze Rectus Femoris (RF), Vastus Lateralis (VL), and Vastus Medialis (VM) muscles, (e) focus on resistance training exercises as the primary intervention, (f) be published within the last ten years, and (g) include healthy adult male participants. Findings: The review results indicated that the VL was the most frequently studied quadriceps muscle across different exercises. Notably, the leg press demonstrated the highest activation levels for both the VL and VM, while the Spanish squat elicited the highest activation for the RF. Additionally, the deadlift showed substantial activation of the VL, though to a lesser extent than the leg press. Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of exercise selection for targeting specific quadriceps muscles during strength training. Furthermore, to ensure the accuracy and reliability of sEMG data, it is critical to establish standardized methodological criteria for its use.

Tarbiat Modares University International Journal of Musculoskeletal Pain Prevention 2476-5279 9 4 2024 11 01 Prediction of musculoskeletal pain through depression and psychological capital 1114 1120 20259 10.22034/IJMPP.9.4.1114 EN Atefeh Bolourani Psychology andCounseling Sima Ghodrati Psychology andCounseling Jamshid Jarareh Psychology andCounseling Journal Article 1970 01 01 Aims: The relationship between chronic pain and depression has been argued in many studies. Previous documents have shown that psychological factors have a significant role in the adjustment to and coping with chronic pain. This research was done to assess whether musculoskeletal pain could predict depression and psychological capital. Method and Materials: This descriptive study was done among 108 students of the psychology and counseling department of the West Tehran Branch of Azad University in Tehran, Iran. These students began their studies in 2018. To collect data, the eligible student completed three standard questionnaires, including Pain Intensity Assessment (VAS), McGee's Psychological Capital Questionnaire, and Beck's depression questionnaire (2-BDI-II). The gathered data were entered into SPSS 24 and analyzed through descriptive and analytical tests. Findings: The results of Pearson's correlation coefficient test and multiple regression analysis showed that there is a positive and direct relationship between depression and musculoskeletal pain (r=0.34). This means that as depression increases in students, musculoskeletal pain also increases. Moreover, there is a negative and inverse correlation between psychological capital and musculoskeletal pain in the self-efficacy subscale, with the lowest coefficient (r=-0.31), and in the resilience subscale, with the highest coefficient (r=-0.41). This means that the weaker the psychological capital, the more musculoskeletal pain. Furthermore, depression and psychological capital predict musculoskeletal pain in students. Conclusion: This study revealed that to improve musculoskeletal pain, appropriate interventions to decrease depression and increase psychological capital should be done.

Involving all the muscles and joints, jumping is an activity used to evaluate performance. The accelerometer is an instrument that has recently been considered in the field of performance evaluation for some reasons, like being economical, accessible, and the ability to replace expensive tools in the health system. This article reviews some studies that use accelerometers to evaluate the performance of the neuromuscular system. Method and Materials: Keywords were searched in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases to find studies on the reliability and validity of accelerometers in jump performance from 2010 to January 2024. Findings: In calculating most variables, including jump height, flight time, contact time, stiffness, force, power, and reactive strength index of countermovement, squat, and drop jumps, studies have revealed high validity and reliability for this device. In calculating peak power and peak velocity, the accelerometer has low validity and reliability, though. Conclusion: Under the ground, the fact that the accelerometer is a valid and reliable instrument in evaluating most jump performance variables, it may be counted as a useful instrument. Rehabilitation teams, physical medicine, and sports medicine specialists would use this device to evaluate musculoskeletal system performance; Therefore, they will be able to adjust, modify, and finally improve the rehabilitation program for patients or athletes and thus promote health in society.

Tehran, Iran Journal Article 1970 01 01 Aims: This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy on the pain metaphorical perception in patients with chronic pain. Method and Materials: The study method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and control group. The population was all people with chronic pain in the first six months of 2024 in Tehran. Accordingly, 45 patients with chronic pain were selected voluntarily and randomly assigned to intervention and control groups (each group n=15). The Questionnaire of the study was Raiisi`s Pain Metaphorical Perception. The first experimental group received eight sessions of 90-minute cognitive-behavioral therapy, but the second group received eight sessions of 90-minute dialectical behavior therapy. The control group did not receive any intervention. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance by SPSS-26. Findings: The results indicated that cognitive-behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy significantly increased components of pain metaphorical perception (object, force, human, and causality) in patients with chronic pain (P<0.001). Conclusion: The findings of this research emphasized the effectiveness of cognitivebehavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy on the pain metaphorical perception. As a result, by changing the metaphors of pain in patients, the interpretation of pain can be changed.
