In children, the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV ) to vital capacity (FVC) is reportedly constant or falls linearly with age, whereas residual (RV) total lung (TLC) remains constant. This seems counter-intuitive given changes airway properties, body proportions, thoracic shape and respiratory muscle function that occur during growth. The age dependence volumes, FEV /FVC RV/TLC were studied children worldwide. Spirometric data available for 22,412 healthy youths (51.4% male)...
Purpose This study aims to assess the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) combined with endurance (ET) on balance in patients chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods We studied 32 male (62 ± 6 years) moderate very severe COPD. They were randomly assigned an experimental group (IMT+ET) n = 16 or a control similar characteristics. The evaluations carried out at inclusion and after eight weeks period. Functional was assessed by Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed-up Go (TUG),...
Biological maturity status significantly influences success in handball, impacting an athlete’s performance and overall development. This study aimed to examine the anthropometric physical variables concerning age status, establishing reference values for among Tunisian players. A total of 560 handball players (309 males 251 females aged 13–19 years) were categorized based on status: early (n = 98), average 262), late 200), determined through Mirwald colleagues’ equations. Anthropometric,...
In Brief PURPOSE: Balance impairment is recognized as an important issue for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study was to examine the effect balance training part rehabilitation (PR) on in COPD patients. METHODS: Patients were randomly assigned intervention or usual care group. group underwent 3 times a week 6 months addition standard PR. control received PR program only. assessed by Timed Up and Go (TUG), Tinetti, Berg Scale (BBS), Unipodal Stance...
There is a lack of studies that investigate the relationship between anthropometric profiles, biological maturity, and specific physical performances in young male basketball players. This study aimed to evaluate development characteristics performance across different age maturity groups among players Palestine, as well identify factors influencing within this population. A total one-hundred-fifty players, aged 12 16, participated study. The were categorized by (U-12 U-16) divided into five...
Background: The six-minute walking distance (6MWD) test has demonstrated validity and reliability to assess changes in functional capacity following pulmonary rehabilitation patients with chronic obstructive lung disease. However, no attempt been made establish an iterative measurement of 6MWD during the overall period rehabilitation. Therefore, aim this study was evaluate impact a twelve-week program on weekly disease (COPD) healthy subjects. Methods: Twenty-six COPD nine age-matched...
Background: This study investigated whether combining simultaneous physical and cognitive training yields superior outcomes compared with aerobic alone in individuals mild impairment (MCI) these benefits persist after four weeks of detraining. Methods: Forty-four people MCI (11 males 33 females) aged 65 to 75 years were randomly assigned an 8-week, twice-weekly program either (AT group, n = 15), combined games (ACT or simply reading for controls (CG 14). Selective attention (Stroop),...
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation added to pulmonary rehabilitation on walking tolerance and balance in patients with chronic obstructive disease (COPD). Design: Randomized clinical trial. Setting: Outpatient, Faculty Medicine Sousse, Tunisia. Subjects: A total 45 COPD were assigned an intervention group ( n = 25) or a control 20). Interventions: The underwent rehabilitation, only three times per week during six months. Main Measures:...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability and minimal detectable change (MDC) various outcome measures that are potentially suitable for evaluating postural control in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS: This a test-retest study. Participants COPD were asked complete 5 balance assessments, separated by 1 week. assessments included Timed Up Go (TUG) Test, Unipodal Stance Test (UST), Tinetti Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Activities...
<i>Background:</i> In Tunisia, there are no normal values of pulmonary function for healthy Tunisian children. <i>Objectives:</i> The purpose this study was to set reference spirometric lung in children and compare these results with other data sets. <i>Methods:</i> Spirometric were measured a Minato portable spirometer 1,114 asymptomatic, nonsmoking (581 boys 533 girls) 6–16 years age. Natural logarithmic standing height used the final regression model....
The purpose of this study was to examine the relative contributions anthropometric variables vertical jumping ability and leg power establish reference values parameters in athletic Tunisian children aged 7-13 years both sexes. Three hundred ninety-one (208 boys 183 girls) were randomly selected participate our study. They asked perform squat jumps countermovement jumps. Jump heights simultaneously provided by optojump device. Full stepwise regression models calculated identify which...
Background: The assessment of normal values muscle strength can be determined for the health outcome adolescents, especially those who are living in a developing country.Aims: purpose this study is to identify relationship between anthropometric variables and vertical jumping performances. jump height average power were measured establish reference parameters Tunisian healthy adolescents aged 13–19 both sexes.Subjects methods: Five hundred twenty-five school (242 males 283 females) randomly...
Background: The evidence supporting the effectiveness of combined interventions in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients remains inconclusive. Objective: aim this study was to evaluate mid- and long-term physical training, alone or with cognitive games, on performance moderate AD. Methods: Seventy-nine AD (≈73% females, age ≈70±1 years) were randomly divided into three groups: aerobic-based training (AT-group, n = 27), plus games (ACT-group, 25), a control group engaged reading (CG, 26), two...
This study examines the potential impact of Ramadan fasting on sleep patterns and physical fitness in under 14 (U14) 17 (U17) female handball players.
Physical performance is becoming increasingly critical in basketball, as it directly influences players' agility, power, and endurance. This study aimed to assess the progression of body composition physical metrics across different ages genders, establishing age- gender-specific reference values for Tunisian basketball athletes.
Abstract We undertook to evaluate the impacts of morphology at birth, physical activity, anthropometric, socioeconomic and environmental factors on lung function in healthy Tunisian children. Pulmonary parameters were measured with a Minato portable spirometer randomized population 756 children (388 males 368 females) aged between 6 16. The gestational age, status, type habitation, all assessed by standard questionnaire. Using univariate analysis, we found that: (1) morphometric (height,...
This study investigated the effectiveness of adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to endurance training (ET) and resistance (RT) on exercise tolerance balance in COPD patients. 42 patients were assigned randomly ET + RT NMES group (n = 22) or 20). Two programs performed including 72 sessions. The center pressure (CoP) displacement mediolateral direction (CoPML), anteroposterior (CoPAP), velocity (CoPV) recorded using a stabilometric platform with eyes open (EO) closed (EC)....
The increasing prevalence of age-related cognitive decline, alongside the aging global population, underscores urgent need for innovative and effective preventative strategies. While advantages combining physical exercises have been recognized as a promising approach to address these socioeconomic challenges, acute effects such interventions on functions remain understudied. This study aimed investigate whether simultaneous exercise has greater beneficial impact older adults with mild...
Background: Little is known about the effect of pubertal stages on lung function parameters in Tunisian children.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect socioeconomic factors on vertical jumping performance as well anthropometric parameters in athletic Tunisian children aged 7 13 both sexes.Four hundred and seven (218 boys 189 girls) ranging from were randomly selected participate our study. They asked perform Squat jumps (SJ) Countermovement (CMJ) response a questionnaire. Jump heights leg power simultaneously provided by optojump device.
