There is physiological and biomechanical evidence suggesting a possible advantage of using poles in walking training programs. The purpose this proof-of-concept study was to test the hypothesis that untrained elderly Nordic for eight weeks will show higher improvements on functional mobility, quality life postural balance than without poles; more likely occur self-selected speed (primary outcome), locomotor rehabilitation index life, static dynamic stability. It two-arm randomized sample-...

Aging involves physical and cognitive deterioration in older adults. Detecting predictors of dementia early is crucial to identify its onset. This study aimed associate psychological determinants with performance Observational 221 adults, classified according impairment. We evaluated function by Mini-Mental State Examination. Physical encompassed muscle strength, functional mobility, cardiorespiratory fitness, while consisted quality life activities daily living. Multiple linear regression...

The aim of the study was to compare cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular responses water aerobics exercise performed with without equipment. 15 women stationary jogging combined elbow flexion/extension equipment, water-drag forces equipment water-floating at 2 submaximal cadences maximal cadence. Heart rate, oxygen uptake electromyographic signal from <i>biceps brachii</i>, <i>triceps femoris</i> <i>rectus were collected during exercise. heart rate showed significantly higher values execution...

Mobility difficulties for people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) are more pronounced when they perform a simultaneous cognitive task while walking. Although it is known that neurodegeneration results in widespread motor and brain impairments, few studies have comprehensively examined possible physical mental determinants of dual walking PwPD. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to investigate if how muscle strength (sit-to-stand 30-sec test), cognition (mini-mental state examination)...

This study aimed to compare the oxygen uptake (<i>V</i>O<sub>2</sub>), muscle activity of lower limbs, and vertical ground reaction force (V-GRF) women performing water aerobic exercises at different intensities. 12 young performed experimental protocol, which consisted 3 (stationary running [SR], frontal kick [FK] cross country skiing [CCS]) intensities (first second ventilatory thresholds maximum effort). A two-way repeated measures ANOVA was used. Regarding <i>V</i>O<sub>2</sub>,...

Background: Water-based resistance training (WRT) has been indicated to promote strength gains in elderly population. However, no study compared different strategies identify the most efficient one. The aim of this was compare effects 3 WRT on and functional capacity older women. Methods: In total, 36 women were randomly allocated groups: simple set 30 seconds [1 × 30s; 66.41 (1.36) y; n = 12], multiple sets 10 [3 10s; 66.50 (1.43) 11], 65.23 (1.09) 13]. Training lasted for 12 weeks. maximal...

Os efeitos deletérios do envelhecimento limitam a capacidade idoso de realizar atividades básicas. Nesse sentido, é relevante saber se hidroginástica, modalidade fortemente recomendada ao público idoso, promove independência funcional essa população. O objetivo dessa revisão sistemática e metanálise foi avaliar os da prática hidroginástica sobre idosos. A busca realizada na PUBMED, Scielo, Cochrane, PEDro forma manual em agosto 2015. Dois revisores independentes selecionaram estudos com base...

Aquatic exercises provide numerous benefits to the health of their practitioners. To secure these benefits, it is essential have proper prescriptions needs each individual and, therefore, important study cardiorespiratory responses different activities in this environment. Thus, aim was compare at anaerobic threshold (AT) between maximal deep-water running (DWR) and treadmill (TMR). In addition, two methods determining AT (the heart rate deflection point [HRDP] ventilatory method [VM]) are...
