The present study sought to analyze the effects of 6-month multicomponent training (MCT) combined with a 4-month detraining on metabolic syndrome (MetS) profile among older adults decreased functional capacity. This quasi-experimental included total 104 (80.5 ± 6.0 years) and sample was divided into (TRAIN, n = 55) or control group (CON). Harmonized definition used diagnose MetS. Functional capacity, blood biochemical parameters, pressure, body composition anthropometric measurements were...

Aims The aim of the present study was to analyze differences in wheelchair tennis game statistics between winning and losing sets. Methods Data were collected from 139 sets 64 matches played by males' players 2012 Paralympics Games. variables studied grouped four groups: related serve, return, winners errors, net point. official website A univariate (Wilcoxon test) multivariate (discriminant) analysis data done groups variable relation result set (win or lose). Results showed that commit...

With aging, bone density is reduced, increasing the risk of suffering osteoporosis and fractures. Increasing physical activity (PA) may have preventive effects. However, until now, no studies considered movement behaviors with compositional data or its association to mass structure measured by peripheral computed tomography (pQCT). Thus, aim our study was investigate these associations describe behavior distribution in older adults previous falls fractures other related parameters, taking...
