The potential impact of a specific physical activity program on biomechanical gait parameters and neuromuscular strategies around the ankle joint in older adults with sarcopenic obesity (SO) remains largely unexplored. objective this study was to investigate effectiveness 24-week posture, strengthening, motricity (PSM) improving SO. 40 participants were randomly assigned either trained group (TG) control (CG). Only TG received PSM program. Standardized evaluations performed before after...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) induces muscle wasting and a reduction in the maximum voluntary force (MVF). Little is known about neuromuscular fatigability CKD patients, defined as of capacities during exercise. Neuromuscular crucial physical parameter daily living. The quantification explosive has been shown to be sensitive means assess fatigability. Thus, our study used estimates elderly patients.Inclusion criteria for patients were age ≥ 60 years old glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 45...
Athletes with patellar tendinopathy (PT) have postural stability deficits; however, the underlying mechanisms and factors responsible remain unknown. The effect on in PT of decreased quadriceps strength, altered proprioception, lower-limb muscle tightness, knee pain, which explain deficiency other populations, is uninvestigated.
Background Excessive body weight is associated with gait alterations. In none of previous studies, fat distribution has been considered as a factor that could change parameters and induce different neuromuscular adaptations. Objective This multicenter, analytical, cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the influence mass on ankle muscle coactivation in obese individuals. Methods Three distinct groups were included study: non-obese control group (CG, n = 15, average age 32.8 ± 6.5 years,...
We investigated the effects of leg stiffness on running speed, jump height and power in 13 male 2nd- 3rd-series ranked tennis players (23±3 years old, 73.2±8.4 kg, 1.81±0.06 m). Leg were assessed using jumping hopping tests. Mean speeds over 20 m 40 (speed20 speed40, respectively) determined from a sprint test. Theoretical maximal (Pmaxth) was extrapolated force-velocity test performed cycle ergometer. averaged 478.7±181.7 N.m−1.kg−1 (34 808±12 573 N.m−1). It significantly correlated to...

Sarcopenic obesity (SO), characterized by age-related muscle loss and excess body fat, significantly impairs postural control. However, limited research has explored the effects of concurrent exercise training on neuromuscular strategies during control in older adults with SO. The study enrolled 50 SO, split into an intervention group (IG, n = 25, mean age 76.1 ± 3.5 years; BMI 34.4 4.0 kg/m2) a (CG, 75.9 5.4 32.9 2.3 kg/m2).

To evaluate the role of obesity in effects physical activity (PA) on postural control and functional capacities older adults to assess effectiveness a PA program these capacities.Six obese (age = 78.8 [3.7] y; body mass index > 30 kg/m2), 7 overweight 80.9 [2.8] 25 < 6 normal weight 80.8 [5.7] kg/m2) performed time up go test, 6-minute walk Tinetti test. Static dynamic (forward leaning) tests were also assessed. All similarly assessed 4 months later, during which only group participated...

Eight pilot students participated in a training session consisting 5 successive bouts around 30 minutes at steady speed on Bugatti Le Mans (France). expenditure (EE, kcal) determined continuously by actimetric method standard equation. estimated through physical...
Abstract Background Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is the most common side effect of cancer and treatment. CRF prevalence up to 50% in breast patients can continue several years after remission. This persistent subjective sense exhaustion multifactorial. Numerous parameters have been evidenced be related across biological, physical, psychological, social and/or behavioral dimensions. Although has studied for many years, majority previous studies focused on only one dimension, i.e., physical...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect different Recovery Duration (RD) between each sprint (30 s, 1 min, 3 5 10 min and 24 h) during force-velocity test analyse associated anaerobic parameters such as maximal power blood lactate concentrations. Twelve male physical education students aged from 18 26 years took part in study. Maximal (Pmax) not statistically whatever recovery duration (from 885 938 watts, for RD 30 s h, respectively). This with a tendency longer tests optimal...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have a high degree of fatigue relating to neuromuscular symptoms. There is lack evidence regarding the etiology fatigability in elderly CKD patients.Inclusion criteria are as follows: age ≥60 yr, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <45 mL·min -1 per 1.73 m 2 patients, and GFR >60 ·1.73 -2 controls. The protocol consisted submaximal handgrip task at 40% peak force. Fatigue was assessed using Multidimensional Inventory-20 items (MFI-20) Functional Assessment...
This study aimed to investigate static and dynamic postural balance inter-limb asymmetries in athletes with unilateral patellar tendinopathy (UPT) estimate subsequent lower extremity musculoskeletal injury risk compared controls. Twenty-eight UPT were recruited. healthy served as Static asymmetry (symmetry index: SI) was assessed based on differences the mean centre of pressure (CoP) velocity (CoPv) values between affected leg (AL) non-affected (NAL) for group, dominant (DL) non-dominant...
The aim of this work was to analyze the effects altitude and socioeconomic nutritional status on maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) anaerobic power (P) in 11-yr-old Bolivian boys. At both high (HA) (3,600 m) low (LA) (420 altitudes, boys were divided into (HA1, n = 23, LA1, 48) (HA2, 44, LA2, 30) levels.
