This study evaluated the effects of aging and endurance training on metabolic responses trained sedentary young (age 20-32 yr) older 60-70 men to exercise at same relative stress (70% maximal O2 consumption). Plasma growth hormone concentrations rest were similar in all four groups, but both groups had an attenuated response exercise. The appeared have avoided age-associated changes that evident their peers with respect resting plasma insulin, C-peptide, norepinephrine concentrations....

To examine the effects of 8-week unsupervised, home-based inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on balance and physical performance healthy older adults. Fifty-nine participants (74 ± 6 years) were assigned randomly in a double-blinded fashion to either IMT or sham-IMT, using pressure threshold loading device. The group performed 30-breath twice daily at ~50% maximal (MIP). sham-IMT 60-breaths once ~15% MIP; was with adherence self-reported through diaries. Respiratory outcomes assessed pre-...

The inspiratory muscles contribute to balance via diaphragmatic contraction and by increasing intra-abdominal pressure. We have shown muscle training (IMT) improves dynamic significantly with healthy community-dwellers. However, it is not known how the magnitude of improvements following IMT compares that an established program. This study compared effects 8-week for community-dwellers, Otago exercise program (OEP) care-residents, on physical performance outcomes. Nineteen community-dwellers...

Objective To determine the impact of occupational therapy (OT) on self‐management function, pain, fatigue, and lived experience for people living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Five databases gray literature were searched up to June 30, 2022. Three reviewers screened titles abstracts, two independently extracting assessing full texts using Cochrane risk bias (quantitative) Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (qualitative) tools assess study quality. Studies categorized into four...

This study aimed to explore the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on self-care individuals living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Guided by a constructivist, qualitative design, we conducted one-to-one in-depth telephone interviews between March and October 2020 participants RA purposively sampled for maximum variation in age, sex education, who were participating one two ongoing randomized-controlled trials. An inductive, reflexive thematic analysis approach was...

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...

Abstract Background Occupational therapists can support people with rheumatoid arthritis to self‐manage their disease symptoms and engage in daily activities. This protocol reports a review broaden understanding of what is known about the role occupational therapy self‐management arthritis. Methods Studies involving adults arthritis, having participated therapy, will be included. Patient involvement help develop search strategy by identifying patient‐centred interventions outcomes complement...

Stair descent is a physically demanding activity of daily life and common risk for falls. Age-related deteriorations in ankle joint capacities make stair particularly challenging older adults built environments, where larger rise steps are encountered. Exercise training may allow to safely cope with the high biomechanical demands descent. However, little known about increased stairs adults, nor impact exercise.We investigated whether effects lower-limb resistance would alter kinetics...

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,...

Physical activity is important in the self-management of long-term conditions (LTCs). However, implementing physical into clinical practice challenging, due to complex barriers including access programmes, time pressures, and transport costs, for people with comorbidities, managing multiple responsibilities. Various digital tools exist overcome these support wide-scale implementation help stay physically active. We explored experiences, needs preferences healthcare professionals...

Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) improved balance ability and respiratory function in healthy older adults. The current study is a retrospective analysis to explore the relationship between inspiratory function, ability, adaptation IMT. All participants (total = 129; IMT 60; age range 65-85 years) performed assessments, including mini-balance evaluation system test, maximal pressure, peak flow tests. Baseline was positively related (p < .05), IMT-induced improvements (23.3% 8.0% rate, 14.9%...

Two hundred twenty eight experienced personal trainers responded to a survey of perceived role responsibilities, conflicts and boundary issues in this emerging profession. Data from 53-item questionnaire were analyzed by sex, age, trainers' levels experience. Findings provide information about why clients are believed hire trainers, degrees responsibility feel for different aspects the relationship, common profession, relationship behaviors considered acceptable or unacceptable. From number...

Older people have an increased risk of falling during locomotion, with falls on stairs being particularly common and dangerous. Step going (i.e. the horizontal distance between two consecutive step edges) defines base support available for foot placement stairs, as smaller going, user's ability to balance steps may become problematic. Here we quantified how stair negotiation in older participants changes four goings (175mm, 225mm, 275mm 325mm) compared without a walking approach. Twenty-one...

Eccentric exercise can result in muscle damage and interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion. Glycogen availability is a potent stimulator of IL-6 We examined effects eccentric low-glycogen state on neuromuscular function plasma Twelve active men (23 ± 4 yr, 179 5 cm, 77 10 kg, means SD) completed two downhill treadmill runs (gradient, −12%, × 8 min; speed, 12.1 1.1 km/h) with normal (NG) reduced glycogen (RG) randomized order at least 6 wk apart. Muscle was using an established cycling protocol until...

Purpose – Placement-based learning is claimed to benefit educational outcomes in undergraduate programmes, with students gaining employability skills and the application of skill-sets “real world” situations. Most courses incorporate experiential learning; however, work placements remain exclusive aims academic programme. The purpose this paper explore changing motivations between enroled on: a practical-based programme, involving placement (BA adventure education (Ad Ed)); study-based...

Abstract The study investigated the accumulative effect of concentric-biased and eccentric-biased exercise on cardiorespiratory, metabolic neuromuscular responses to low-intensity performed hours later. Fourteen young men cycled at (~60 rpm 50% maximal oxygen uptake) for 10 min before, 12 h after: concentric-biased, single-leg cycling (CON) (performed ~19:30 h) eccentric-biased, double-leg knee extension (ECC) (~06:30 following morning). Respiratory measures were sampled breath-by-breath,...
