The aim of this study was to investigate the effects blood flow restriction (BFR) strength exercises on pressure (BP) and glucose (BG) in diabetic women. Ten women with type II diabetes (Age = 56.9 ± 7.4 years old; BMI 27.2 4.2 kg/m2; Diagnostic time 10.6 4.1 years) participated study. On three non-consecutive days, participants were randomly assigned 1 3 training conditions: (i) Low-load exercise [LL; ~ 20% maximum repetition (1RM)]; (ii) LL-BFR [~ 1RM/50% arterial occlusion (AOP)]; (iii)...
Objective: To study the determinants of central Blood pressure (cBP) and reflected waves (RW) in elderly. Design method: Cross-sectional, observational elderly participants. arterial function parameters were measured with a validated device. Clinical demographic information was gathered, as well estimation global cardiovascular risk, health related quality life, dietary profile cognition. Cholesterol glycaemia measured. Results: Fifty four participants recruited, mean age 73.0 ± 6.0 years...
