Introduction: Wheelchair sports, such as wheelchair rugby (WR), are intermittent in nature, combining high- and low-intensity actions. Although some data exists on the effects of caffeine intake WR players, further research using specific physical tests related to demands gameplay is necessary. Aims: The aim this study was analyze acute effect supplementation neuromuscular performance repeated-sprint ability (RSA) players. Methodology: A total four players participated study. Participants...
Introduction: There are several tests that provide information about physical fitness and functionality in older adults. The aims of this study were: (i) to analyze the differences between sex age functional, strength cardiorespiratory tests; (ii) correlations according age. Methods: A total 171 adults (72.09 ± 13.27 kg; 1.59 0.09 m; 72.72 6.05 years) were divided (men: n = 63; women: 108) (≥60 <70: 65; ≥70 <80: 89; ≥80: 18). Anthropometry, body composition, upper limb (hand...
Abstract Diagnosing cognitive impairment is an ongoing field of research especially in the elderly. Assessing health status elderly can be a complex process that requires both subjective and objective measures. Subjective measures, such as self-reported responses to questions, provide valuable information about person’s experiences, feelings, beliefs. However, from scientific point view, based on quantifiable data used assess physical functioning, are more appropriate rigorous. The proposed...
A case of atrioventricular reciprocal rhythm and chronic reciprocating tachycardia in a newborn infant is presented. Electrophysiological studies suggest that these disturbances are related to the presence right-sided accessory pathway capable only retrograde conduction (concealed Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome). The technique recording sequence atrial activation during described its clinical importance emphasised.
The physiopathology of sarcopenia is still not completely understood.To assess the relationship between dehydration and skeletal muscle catabolism, mass, in an aged population.Observational cross-sectional study community-dwelling subjects 70 years older. Dehydration was assessed by plasma osmolarity; bioimpedance analysis (BIA) used to body composition water content; established according EWGSOP-2 criteria; 3-methyl-histidine (3MH) as indicator catabolism.190 participants were recruited...
Abstract Purpose Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) applies gradual pressure to facilitate lymph and blood flow movement reduce exercise-induced tissue fluid accumulation plasma volume loss. This study aimed evaluate the cardiovascular system response during recovery with IPC compared passive (Sham). Methods Sixteen volunteers (7 females 9 males) executed a cycling-based exhausting sprint interval exercise (8 × 20 s all out), followed by 30-min or Sham condition. Participants performed...
Abstract Purpose The present study aims to evaluate the effects of intermittent sequential pneumatic compression (ISPC) in short-term recovery a repeated sprint interval exercise, including assessment power output performance, hematocrit, legs water, and perceptual recovery. Methods A randomized, counterbalanced, crossover design was conducted. Sixteen healthy trained individuals (F=7, M=9; 27.7 ± 9.4 years; BMI 22.3 2.9) performed two trials cycling fatiguing followed by phase (ISPC or...
Background: Reduced Intracellular Water (ICW) has been related to poor muscle strength and functional capacity in aged populations. We aimed evaluate hydration status intracellular of lower-limb lean mass population the relationship with thigh function. Methods: Design population: Cross-sectional study community-dwelling ≥70 year old subjects. Measurements: Lower-limb was assessed by bioimpedance analysis function isokinetic evaluation. Frailty established according Fried criteria,...
