Physical training is considered as a low-cost intervention to generate cardioprotective benefits and promote physical mental health, while reducing the severity of acute respiratory infection symptoms in older adults. However, lockdown measures during COVID-19 have limited people's opportunity exercise regularly. The aim this study was investigate effect eight weeks Fitness Dance training, followed by four COVID-19-induced detraining, on cardiac adaptations performance indicators adults with...
Introduction The diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), that is, the transitory phase between normal age-related decline and dementia, remains a challenging task. It was observed multimodal approach (simultaneous analysis several complementary modalities) can improve classification accuracy. We will combine three noninvasive measurement modalities: functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), electroencephalography heart rate variability via ECG. Our aim is to explore...
Cognition is a major subject to be addressed nowadays due the increasing number of cognitively affected people in most societies. Because lack pharmaceutical therapies treating cognitive decline, its indicators should diagnosed before it becomes prevalent. Scientific evidence indicates relationship between cognition and nervous system, especially autonomic part. Heart rate variability (HRV) as an indicator system functioning has been studied biological marker for evaluation performance....
Older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) who in addition to their memory deficits also suffer from frontal-executive dysfunctions have a higher risk of developing dementia later lives than older aMCI without executive and non-amnestic MCI (naMCI). Handgrip strength (HGS) is correlated the decline elderly. Hence, current study aimed investigate associations between HGS functioning individuals aMCI, naMCI healthy controls. Older, right-handed (aMCI), (naMCI), controls (HC)...
Abstract Background Given that, up to date, there is no effective strategy treat dementia, a timely start of interventions in prodromal stage such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) considered an important option lower the overall societal burden. Although autonomic functions have been related performance, both aspects rarely studied simultaneously MCI. Objective The aim present study was investigate cardiac control older adults with and without Methods Cardiac assessed by means heart rate...
Sleep problems can be caused by psychological stress but are also related to cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Improving lifestyle behaviors, such as good sleep hygiene, help counteract the negative effects of diseases improve quality life. The purpose this cross-sectional study was investigate relationship between subjectively reported measures (via Pittsburgh Quality Index (PSQI)) objective cardiac autonomic control resting state heart rate variability (HRV)) among individuals...
Our goal was to investigate age-related differences in cardiac autonomic control by means of heart rate variability (HRV). For this purpose, 30 healthy older and 34 younger adults were studied during three different conditions: (i) resting state, (ii) the execution two cognitive tasks, (iii) subsequent recovery phase. Mean HRV parameters higher compared participants all conditions. While mean tasks it did not change adults. In contrast, conditions differ between age groups. results suggest...
Background: Preserving health and physical fitness is critical to ensure independent living across the lifespan. Lower levels of are associated with age-related cognitive decline a higher prevalence mild impairment (MCI). Thus, this study investigates influence six-month dance intervention on selected measures in older adults MCI. Methods: In randomized controlled trial 55 patients MCI were into sportive training (IG; n=26; Age: 70.7 +/- 5.6 years; 62% female) or an inactive control group...

Fluctuations in the intervals between adjacent heartbeats are described as heart rate variability (HRV). In professional sports, HRV is a popular tool to evaluate regeneration and prevent state of overtraining. measurements could also be used simple, non-invasive method personal well-being athletes prescribe training. However, more understanding association psychophysiological factors necessary. Therefore, aim this study was examine relationship resting two triathletes. recorded at least...
