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-...
Abstract Background Nordic walking is an attractive method of endurance training. Nevertheless, the biomechanic response due to additional contribution using poles in relation free training has been less explored elderly. Purpose: This randomized parallel controlled trial aimed assess effects 8 weeks and on economy, mechanical work, metabolically optimal speed, electromyographic activation Methods Thirty-three sedentary elderly were into ( n = 16) group 17) with equalized loads. Submaximal...
It has been observed that the optimal speed ( OPT ) of human walking is independent load on level surfaces because unaltered trajectory center mass and consequent conservation pendular mechanism. However, role inverted pendulum mechanism combines speed, load, gradient during remains unknown. In present study, 10 subjects walked a treadmill, with without loading (25% body mass), at different speeds slopes (0%, +7%, +15%). The three‐dimensional motion VO 2 were simultaneously registered....
Background: Elastic bouncing is a physio-mechanical model that can elucidate running behavior in different situations, including landing and takeoff patterns the characteristics of muscle-tendon units during stretch recoil running. An increase speed improves body’s elastic mechanisms. Although some measures are usually carried out, general description mechanism has not been explored performance. This study aimed to compare parameters between higher- lower-performing athletes 3000m test....
The aim of this study was to understand the interactions between anthropometric, kinetic, and kinematic variables how they determine 100 m freestyle performance in young swimmers. Twenty-five adolescent swimmers (15 male 10 female, aged 15.75 ± 1.01 years) who regularly participated regional national competitions were recruited. chosen as variable be predicted. A series anthropometric (hand surface area-HSA), kinetic (thrust active drag coefficient (C
Nordic walking’s (NW) degree of effectiveness regarding health-related parameters in people with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a subject debate. While NW seems to improve functionality, clear non-motor benefit has not been demonstrated. The aim this randomized controlled trial was compare the effects 9-week and free walking (FW) training programs on quality life, cognitive function, depressive symptoms individuals PD. Thirty-three PD, (Hoehn Yahr 1–4) were into two groups: (n = 16) FW 17). We...
Although studied at level surface, the trunk kinematics and pelvis-shoulder coordination of incline walking are unknown. The aim this study was to evaluate speed effects on movement cost transport (C) during unloaded loaded (25% body mass) 15% walking. We collected 3-dimensional kinematic oxygen consumption data from 10 physically active young men. movements were analyzed in sagittal plane (inclination range motion) transverse (range shoulder pelvic girdle motion phase difference)....
What is the central question of this study? The aim was to compare cost transport and mechanical work between obese non-obese children at different walking speeds. main finding its importance? Our data show that transport, efficiency are similar directly mass dependent in children. optimal speed (most economical speed) reduced children.Although studies have shown influence gait biomechanics on metabolic economy adults adolescents, little known regarding We compared apparent (assessed by...
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect allometric scaling on relationship between mechanical work and long-distance running performance in recreational runners. Fourteen runners (male, mean ± SD - age: 29 7 years; body mass: 70.0 10.2 kg; height: 1.71 0.07 m; maximal oxygen uptake: VO2max 52.0 4.9 ml·kg(-1)·min(-1)) performed two tests: a continuous incremental test volitional exhaustion order determine VO2max, 6-minute submaximal at 3.1 m·s(-1), during which segments sagittal...
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence walking speed on pendular mechanism, cost transport, mechanical efficiency and work in adults with lower-limb amputation, compared a control group.Methods: Observational, cross sectional study. Ten subjects from an amputee rehabilitation clinic, same prosthetic knee foot ten healthy were selected form experimental group, respectively. Tridimensional kinematics data oxygen uptake collected simultaneously at five speeds:...
Abstract Although cycling impairs the subsequent metabolic cost and performance of running in some triathletes, consequences on mechanical efficiency ( Eff ) kinetic potential energy fluctuations body center mass are still unknown. The aim this study was to investigate effects previous cost-of-transport, , (W tot ), spring stiffness (K leg K vert spatiotemporal parameters. Fourteen middle-level triathletes (mean ± SD: maximal oxygen uptake, $$\dot{{\rm{V}}}$$ <mml:math...
A estabilidade dinâmica e um importante indicador de qualidade vida, pois esta relacionada com o equilibrio durante a caminhada sua diminuicao apresenta maior risco quedas. da uma questao critica para sujeitos historico Acidente Vascular Cerebral isquemico (AVCi), devido as alteracoes psico-motoras decorrentes deste evento. O objetivo estudo foi comparar em diferentes velocidades esteira entre saudaveis hemipareticos. Participaram do sete hemipareticos dez saudaveis. Os resultados demonstram...
La práctica del tenis se encuentra asociada, inevitablemente, con la aparición de lesiones en el hombro dominante por mecánica propia deporte. Nuestro objetivo fue relacionar previas rango movimiento (ROM) 35 hombres tenistas adultos amateurs (edad = 36.46±5.62 años, Cantidad torneos participados 2022 =4.00±1.50 torneos). Se realizó medición ROM y un cuestionario para indagar sufridas hábitos deportivos. Resultados: existe una correlación significativa entre brazo (x2 14.33; α < 0.05);...
