Introduction– Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a myalgic condition in which muscle and musculotendinous pain are the primary symptoms. Some muscles are likely to develop Myofascial trigger points in cases of lateral epicondylitis and become possible cause of mainstay of symptoms. Hence the study was undertaken to find the prevalence of myofascial trigger points in such muscles.
Methodology & Results – 40 individuals aged between 20-50 years fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected for the study with acute and chronic lateral epicondylitis. Brachioradialis, Biceps Brachii, Triceps Brachii, Supinator and Extensor carpi radialis brevis were checked for the presence of trigger point by palpation. Pressure algometer was used to check the pain threshold of each point. When the subject reports feeling pain the action of pressure is stopped and reading is recorded.
Results showed a higher prevalence in females than males. The most prevalent area for trigger point was the brachioradialis followed by biceps brachii, extensor carpi radialis, triceps brachii and the least prevalent was the supinator.
Conclusion - This study provides that the relation between myofascial trigger points in lateral epicondylitis is relatively high especially in Brachioradialis, It also shows that latent trigger points don’t lead to severe functional disability.

Introduction – Fitness is important for all. To reduce the incidence of injuries in the gymnasium going people, especially in weight lifters, proper training should be given. For giving proper training, proper musculoskeletal assessment is required. This study is an effort to access various components of fitness in young gym going people.
Methodology & Results – 50 gymnasium going males with minimum 3 months of gymnasium training and age 18-24 years participated in present observational study.Upper limb muscular strength and muscular endurance were recorded using bench press and push up test. Also for flexibility grading, shoulder wrist elevation test was done.
For upper limb maximum participants have shown good muscular strength and above average muscular endurance though flexibility was found average only.
Conclusion - The general muscular fitness was seen in the average category in young gym going people.
