The effects of weight training and flexibility exercising on the strength, range of motion, and spasticity/muscle tone of elite cerebral palsy athletes
pp. 125-129
Abstract
Resistance training is currently being practised by many athletes with cerebral palsy. However, persons who adhere to certain therapeutic approaches believe that weight training may be detrimental for individuals with cerebral palsy. The potential detrimental effects include decreases in range of motion, increases in resting muscle tone/spasticity, and increased abnormal posturing positions (Bobath 1971; McCubbin and Shasby 1985).
