The effects of the aging process and an active life-style on autonomic control heart rate (HR) were investigated in nine young sedentary (YS, 23 ± 2.4 years), 16 (YA, 22 2.1 8 older (OS, 63 years) (OA, 61 1.1 healthy men. Electrocardiogram was continuously recorded for 15 min at rest 4 deep breathing test, with a breath 5 to 6 cycles/min supine position. Resting HR RR intervals analyzed by time (RMSSD index) frequency domain methods. power spectral components are reported normalized units...
Background: Exercise training is a non-pharmacological strategy for treatment of heart failure. improves functional capacity and quality life in patients. Moreover, exercise reduces muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) peripheral vasoconstriction. However, most these studies have been conducted middle-aged Thus, the effects older patients are much less understood. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether capacity, muscular activation blood flow failure patients, as it does...
Abstract Objective: The present study aimed to analyze the distribution of measures subjective and psychological well-being according demographic criteria length participation in program. Method: A cross sectional using following instruments was carried out: a sociodemographic questionnaire (age, gender, education, University Third Age (U3A) similar programs located city São Paulo, Brazil; an Overall Life Satisfaction Scale; Scale that contemplated four domains: health, physical capacity,...
Evaluation of non-pharmacological therapies that improve autonomic control the heart rate in older subjects has a clinical significance, because reduced variability (HRV) can be associated with higher cardiovascular morbidity and mortality rates.To investigate if strength training improves cardiac healthy men.The HRV nine men (mean age 62 (2.0) years) was evaluated before after 12 weeks isokinetic eccentric (2 days/week, 2-4 sets 8-12 repetitions at 75-80% peak torque, involving knee flexion...
A queda em idosos é resultado de uma interação complexa entre fatores intrínsecos e extrínsecos. Embora seja difícil separar esses fatores, estudos apontam que risco ambientais estão presentes aproximadamente 40% das quedas. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar revisão sistemática da literatura sobre o envolvimento nas quedas vivendo na comunidade. Para tanto, foram selecionados publicados no período janeiro 2000 a maio 2014 bases dados eletrônicas MEDLINE, LILACS SciELO. Apenas artigos...
Purpose. Heart rate variability (HRV) decreases after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) due to changes in cardiac autonomic balance. The purpose of the present study, therefore, was evaluate effects a progressive exercise protocol used phase I rehabilitation on HRV patients with post-AMI.Material and methods. Thirty-seven who had been admitted hospital their first non-complicated AMI were studied. treated group (TG, n = 21, age 52 ± 12 years) performed 5-day programme during...
ABSTRACT Background: The link between sarcopenia and cognitive impairment has not yet been thoroughly evaluated, especially among older adults. Objective: To evaluate the relationship probable community-dwelling adults in two Brazilian cities. Methods: Probable was assessed using EWGSOP2 (2018) criteria. Thus, participants were classified as probably having if they had SARC-F (Strength, Assistance walking, Rise from a chair, Climb stairs Falls) ≥4 points low grip strength. Cognitive function...
Abstract Background National and international guidelines on frailty assessment management recommend screening in older people. This study aimed to determine how Brazilian healthcare professionals (HCPs) identify manage practice. Methods An anonymous online survey the of was circulated virtually through HCPs across Brazil. Results Most respondants used non-specific criteria such as gait speed (45%), handgrip strength (37.6%), comprehensive geriatric (33.2%). The use frailty-specific lower...
The objectives were to describe the stated motives of participants who enrolled in a program at Open University for Elderly (UnATI, Portuguese), identify correlations between and sociodemographic data, find set predictors related listed motives. A total 306 middle-aged elderly adults aged 50 or older surveyed through questionnaire five-item scale check their enroll program. following motivational factors identified, order importance: enhancing general knowledge, investing personal...
the magnitude of cardiovascular responses is dependent on static and dynamic components as well duration intensity contraction performed.to evaluate heart rate to different percentages isometric contractions in 12 patients (63 ± 11.6 years) with coronary artery disease and/or risk factors for that were participating a phase III cardiac rehabilitation program.heart variation (ΔHR) was evaluated during maximum (MVC, five ten seconds duration) submaximal (SMVC, 30 60% MVC-5, until muscle...
Fiogbé, E, Vassimon-Barroso, V, Catai, AM, de Melo, RC, Quitério, RJ, Porta, A, and Takahashi, ACdM. Complexity of knee extensor torque: effect aging contraction intensity. J Strength Cond Res 35(4): 1050-1057, 2021-Assessing the extensors' torque complexity in older adults is relevant because these muscles are among most involved functional daily activities. This study aimed to investigate effects isometric intensity on complexity. Eight young (24 ± 2.8 years) 13 old (63 performed 3 maximal...
Considering the importance of muscle strength to functional capacity in elderly, study investigated effects age on isokinetic performance and torque production as a function length. Eleven younger (24.2 ± 2.9 years) 16 older men (62.7 2.5 were subjected concentric eccentric knee extension/flexion at 60 120° · s(-1) through range motion. The group presented lower peak (in newton-meters) than young for both contraction types (age effect, p < 0.001). Peak deficits near 30 29% contraction,...
Frailty is a common condition that leads to multiple adverse outcomes. should be identified and managed in holistic, evidence-based patient-centered way. We aimed understand how UK healthcare professionals (HCPs) identify manage frailty comparison with Fit for guidelines, their training, confidence providing support organizational pathways this. An online mixed-methods survey was distributed HCPs supporting older people through professional bodies, special interest groups, key contacts,...
Abstract Background With aging, some cognitive abilities change because of neurobiological processes. Cognition may also be influenced by psychosocial aspects. Objective To describe the relationship between a measure neuroticism, depression symptoms, purpose in life, and performance community-dwelling older adults. Methods This was cross-sectional analysis based on data from second wave Frailty Brazilian Older Adults (FIBRA) study, carried out 2016 2017. The sample consisted 419 people (≥ 72...
Resumo Objetivo Investigar e comparar o perfil sociodemográfico, cognitivo de fragilidade dos participantes do Estudo Fragilidade em Idosos Brasileiros medidas seguimento (SG) linha base (LB) realizadas 2016-2017 2008-2009, respectivamente. Métodos Participaram da LB 1.284 idosos residentes Campinas Ermelino Matarazzo (SP), Brasil, que compuseram amostra única. No SG foram novamente entrevistados 549 (42,5%); 192 tinham falecido (14,9%) 543 perdidos (42,4%). Em ambos os momentos, avaliadas...
