S192 Vol. 45 No. 5 Supplement<br />
FINAL WORKING DIAGNOSIS:<br />
Plantar fibromatosis (fibroproliferative condition on the plantar fascia tissue)<br />
TrEaTMENT aNd OuTCOMEs:<br />
1. Immediate reduction of running workouts to within a pain free range.<br />
2. Two treatment sessions per week for four weeks within an athletic training facility<br />
incorporating an instrument-assisted-soft-tissue mobilization technique.<br />
3. Low intensity strengthening exercises and passive stretching were performed during<br />
treatment sessions.<br />
4. A home exercise program was prescribed on days when the patient was not treated<br />
by the clinician.<br />
5. Returned to full participation in running at week four of treatments with full, pain<br />
free ROM, pain free running gait and decreased size of the plantar fibroma by 17%<br />
(0.37cm 2 ).<br />
6. Patient successfully completed the half-marathon race, pain free and at goal pace<br />
1-month following the conclusion of treatment.<br />

Endurance-training Effects On Intracellular Calcium and<br />
Iron In Cd4 + Lymphocytes In young and Old Men<br />

Intracellular calcium (Ca 2+ i )and iron (Fe 3+ i) are critically involved in intracellular<br />
signalling within CD4 + cells yet little is known of long-term exercise effects on these<br />
variables in relation to CD4 + activation and proliferation.<br />
PurPOsE: To investigate the effects of 12 months of aerobic/endurance exercise<br />
on Ca2+i and Fe3+i concentrations within CD4+ lymphocytes in old and young men<br />
compared to sedentary controls.<br />
METhOds: We compared young (30±5 yr) trained (TRY, n=14) and sedentary (UTY,<br />
n=12) men to older (69±5 yr) trained (TRO, n=14) and sedentary (UTO, n=10) men for<br />
12 months. The TRY group completed daily endurance training (60-120 min day, 60-<br />
80% VO 2peak ) while the TRO group cycled for three 60 min sessions per week (60-75%<br />
VO 2peak ). Venous blood was analysed every month for resting lymphocyte counts. CD4 +<br />
cells were separated and stimulated with thapsigargin to quantify Ca 2+ i, using Fluo-3<br />
AM and flow cytometry. Further CD4 + lymphocytes were incubated with Calcein AM<br />
to assess Fe 3+ i.<br />
rEsuLTs: The TRY group had a significantly higher CD4+ concentration than<br />
UTY for 4 months (37±7%, p
