Cognitive impairment that affects older adults is commonly associated with an inflammatory imbalance, resulting in decreased physical fitness. Exercise has been pointed to mitigate immunosenescence and cognitive aging, while increase However, few studies explored the relationship between changes cytokine concentration improvement on cognition due elastic band strength training. The aim of this study was investigate effects training pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines, haematological markers...
Immunosenescence contribute to increase the blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, leading cognitive impairment and neurodegeneration. Thus, we investigated anti-inflammatory effect of exercise taurine supplementation on peripheral markers BBB, inflammation, cognition elderly women. Forty-eight women (age, 83.58 ± 6.9 years) participated in study, were allocated into combined training (CET: n = 13), (TAU: 12), associated with (CET+TAU: 11), or control (CG: 12) groups. Exercise was applied...
The study aimed to analyze the effects of aging and lifelong training on main pro- anti-inflammatory cytokines, impact acute exercise expression these cytokines. Thirty-nine participants were allocated into 3 groups: young (31.8 ± 3.00 yrs.), middle-aged (54.2 5.9 yrs.) master athletes (53.1 8.8 performed a maximal incremental test cycle ergometer. Blood samples obtained before (Pre), 10 min post-exercise (Post) 1 h (Post h). Mean VO2max was similar for youngers higher compared group....
The aim of this study was to test the effects chair-based exercise programs on salivary stress hormones, physical fitness, and functional autonomy institutionalized older women. In total, 47 participants (80 ± 8.04 years old) were recruited allocated into three groups: aerobic exercises (CAE, n = 19), elastic-band strength (CSE, 15), a control group (CG, 13). A 14-week intervention done for CAE CSE groups, two times per week, in no consecutive days. Members CG did not participate any type...
Frail individuals experience an accelerated immunosenescence, and exercise has been identified as a therapy to promote better inflammatory environment.To analyze the effects of 28-weeks two different protocols on functional fitness immune profiles institutionalized pre-frail frail women with mild cognitive impairment.Participants residing in care homes (n=60, 81±7.84 years old) were randomized into three groups: chair elastic band muscle-strength (CSE, n=21; 81±4.79), multimodal (CME, n=20;...
Nowadays, it is accepted that the regular practice of exercise and branched-chain amino acids supplementation (BCAAs) can benefit immune responses in older persons, prevent occurrence physical frailty (PF), cognitive decline, aging-related comorbidities. However, impact their combination (as non-pharmacological interventions) albumin inflammatory markers not fully understood. Therefore, we investigated effect a 40-week multifactorial intervention [MIP, multicomponent (ME) associated or with...
Physical activity in elders has been shown to have positive effects on a plethora of chronic diseases and improve immunity, mental health cognition. Chronic stress also immuno-suppressive accelerate immunosenescence. Exercise could be significant factor ameliorating the deleterious but variables such as type, intensity frequency exercise that should performed order effectively reduce burden need defined clearly. PRO-HMESCI will allow us investigate which hormonal immunological parameters are...
The effectiveness of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) supplementation on enhancing exercise performance in both young and older adults remains a topic debate. Recent research suggests that BCAAs combined with regular might have an impact human erythropoiesis, blood dynamics, iron homeostasis. Given the increasing longevity global population, it is crucial to investigate potential benefits BCAA as non-pharmacological interventions for improving overall health frail adults. To assess...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact a training season (approximately 7 months) on physiological and salivary immune‐endocrine markers in master athletes. Nine male athletes were evaluated at beginning (M1) week after main official competition end sports (M2). controlled variables included Maximal oxygen consumption, anthropometric, physiological, markers. Master presented reduced percentage fat mass increased lean body season. VO 2max values similar M1 M2, while...
Background Aging is an irreversible process by which all living humans will pass, and the percentage of older population growth significantly in last decades. There are increasing evidence showing that independently people, with autonomy physical capacity, has better quality life comparison others without self-sufficiency. Objective: Verify changes on Quality-of-Life (QoL), body composition performance (PF) elderly women submitted to resistance training (RT). Methods: 16 participated study,...
Abstract This study aimed to compare the acute inflammatory response following high-intensity eccentric exercise between resistance-trained young and master athletes with similar performance levels. Resistance-trained (n=8; 22±2 years) 52±4 male of a level performed standardized squat protocol (10 sets half-squats at 70% 1-repetition maximum). The serum concentration 20 biomarkers related tissue damage, inflammation, remodeling, repair was measured baseline, immediately after exercise, over...
O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar e eficácia do método de musculação Drop-Set, em relação à força composição corporal indivíduos adultos gênero masculino. A amostra foi composta por 9 indivíduos, fisicamente ativos não portadores restrições. Divididos 3 grupos: Controle (75% 1RM), (90% 1RM) o Grupo Drop-Set. Para isso realizada uma avaliação física para se obter a corporal, seguindo protocolo 7 dobras cutâneas Pollock. E mensuração da executado teste 1 Repetição Máxima (1RM), nos...
Introduction People with schizophrenia exhibit low levels of physical activity, which have impact on and mental health as well overall quality life (QOL). Mental benefits exercise are known, although the mechanisms through improves symptoms not fully understood. Objectives To assess effect a 16-week program (EP) expression BDNF S100B biomarkers, fitness, related self-perceptions adults schizophrenia. Methods Thirty-five patients (PwSZ) were divided in three groups Institutionalized Patients...
