Abstract This cross-sectional study investigated the association of physical fitness with cognitive function, functional capacity and quality life among institutionalized older adults dementia. One hundred two aged 78.0 ± 8.4 years, predominantly female (67.6%), neurocognitive disorder due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (49.2%), vascular dementia (14.7%), Parkinson’s (2%), Lewy bodies (2%) or unspecified (32.1%) participated in present study. Regression analyses were used examine associations...
The social and economic impact of dementia for the development accessible sustainable care individuals with (IwD). Physical exercise has been seen as a beneficial non-pharmacological therapy in prevention management dementia, possible benefits may not only on participants, but also indirectly their caregivers. Thus, this quasi-experimental non-randomized study aimed to analyze effects an intervention functional capacity, behavioural psychological symptoms (BPSD) quality life...
Abstract Background Several strategies have been developed to counteract liver injury as a consequence of nonsteroid anti‐inflammatory drugs toxicity. Here, we aimed determine whether physical exercise results in mitochondrial protection against vitro diclofenac Material and methods Male adult Sprague‐Dawley rats were divided into sedentary, 12‐week endurance training ( ET ) voluntary activity VPA ). In function assessed by oxygen consumption, transmembrane electric potential (ΔΨ)...
This quasi-experimental, nonrandomized study examined the feasibility and impact of a multicomponent (MT) intervention on 7 community-dwelling individuals diagnosed with probable Alzheimer’s disease (AD) at mild to moderate stage. During 6 months, patients AD their caregivers were submitted biweekly exercise program, including muscle strengthening, aerobics, balance, postural exercises. The following tests used: Senior Fitness Test Incremental Treadmill Test, Disability Assessment for...
This study examined the differences in intracycle velocity variation and arm coordination front crawl swimmers with Down syndrome three breathing conditions. International ( N = 16) performed 3 × 20 m at 50 race speed: without breathing, to preferred side, nonpreferred side. A two dimensional video movement analysis was using APASystem. Breathing conditions were compared Repeated Measures ANOVA. Swimming higher intracyclic while breathing. Swimmers tended a catch up mode for both...
Sarcopenia is a well-known highly prevalent muscle disease that severely impairs overall physical performance in elders, inducing massive health-related economic burden. The widespread screening, diagnosis and treatment of sarcopenia are pivotal to restrain the progression constrain its societal impact. Simple-to-use, portable, reliable methods evaluate scarce, sarcopenia-related assessments typically done several time-consuming stages. This study presents portable digital system enables...
