Ageing entails a decrease in muscle mass and strength, known as sarcopenia, which also affects respiratory function. Physical exercise is an appropriate intervention to treat both conditions. This study aims assess the efficacy of high-intensity resistance training (HIRT) on clinical parameters function health-related quality life (QoL) community-dwelling older women with sarcopenia.Fifty-one sarcopenic aged 70 years were randomized either six months HIRT (n = 24) or control 27). At baseline...

Resistance training is recommended for preventing sarcopenia, but the benefits quality and quantity of muscle mass are uncertain.To assess effects high-intensity resistance (HIRT) on clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters in women with sarcopenia.A researcher-blinded randomized trial was conducted. Community-dwelling older sarcopenia were to six months HIRT or a control group (CG). Body composition assessed bioimpedance equipment, participants underwent strength functional...

Abstract Background The development of procedural skills is essential in health sciences education. Rubrics can be useful for learning and assessing these skills. To this end, a set rubrics were developed case neurophysiotherapy maneuvers undergraduates. Although students found the to valid previous courses, analysis practical exam results showed need change them order improve their validity reliability, especially when used summative purposes. After reviewing rubrics, paper analyzes...

One of the main challenges faced by physical therapy (PT) students is to learn practical skills involved in neurological (PT). To help them acquire these skills, a set rubrics were designed for formative purposes. This paper presents process followed creation and their application classroom, noting that perceived as valid, reliable, highly useful learning. The perception validity usefulness has different closely related dimensions, showing homogeneous values across students´ sociodemographic...

A study was made of the effect PROMUFRA multicomponent frailty program upon physical frailty, kinanthropometry, pain and muscle function parameters in frail pre-frail community-dwelling older people. Eighty-one participants were randomly allocated to intervention group (IG) or control (CG). The IG performed for 20 weeks, using six strength exercises with three series 8-12 repetitions until muscular failure, seven myofascial exercises, one set 10 repetitions. CG continued their routine....
