Effects of high and low volume of strength training on muscle strength, muscle volume and lipid profile in postmenopausal women
(Journal of Exercise Science and Fitness, 2014-01-01) [Artigo]
Changes in lipid profile are considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially in postmenopausal woman who have been associated with age-related loss of muscle mass. The beneficial role of aerobic ...
Handgrip and functional mobility in elderly with different levels of physical activity
(Fisioterapia e Pesquisa, 2014-04-01) [Artigo]
The proportion of elderly people is growing worldwide and, with this, there is an increase of chronic-degenerative conditions such as impaired balance and falls. The physically active elderly tends to an improved response ...
Comparacao das inclinacoes lateral e anteroposterior no equilibrio estatico entre jovens, adultos e idosos
(Revista Brasileira de Geriatria e Gerontologia, 2013-12-01) [Artigo]
INTRODUÇÃO:Com o aumento da população idosa, fica evidente a importância de compreender e explorar o processo de envelhecimento humano, o qual acarreta transformações morfológicas e funcionais.OBJETIVOS:Avaliar e comparar ...
Comparação da mobilidade, força muscular e medo de cair em idosas caidoras e não caidoras
(Revista Brasileira de Geriatria e Gerontologia, 2013) [Artigo]
OBJETIVOS: Verificar o medo de cair em idosas caidoras e não caidoras ativas fisicamente e comparar mobilidade e força de preensão palmar; verificar se existe relação entre mobilidade, força muscular e medo de quedas. ...
Effect of 808 nm low-level laser therapy in exercise-induced skeletal muscle fatigue in elderly women
(Lasers in Medical Science, 2013-09-01) [Artigo]
Aging process involves several structural changes in muscle tissue which lead to decrease in musculoskeletal function. One of the most common physiological modifications is the increase in fatigability in elderly people, ...
Correlation between balance and the level of functional independence among elderly people
(São Paulo Medical Journal, 2012-01-01) [Artigo]
CONTEXTO E OBJETIVOS: Como está ocorrendo um aumento do número total de pessoas idosas, há um aumento correspondente de idosos com incapacidades. Para examinar se há alguma relação entre equilíbrio e atividades de vida ...
Lower limb strength is associated with gait biomechanical abnormalities in older female fallers and non-fallers
(Isokinetics and Exercise Science, 2013-06-17) [Artigo]
BACKGROUND: Age-related loss in lower limb strength is related with impaired mobility. However, the association between decreased lower limb strength and gait biomechanical abnormalities is unclear. %In line with this, ...
Electromyographic reaction time in older female fallers and non-fallers after postural perturbation
(Revista Brasileira de Cineantropometria & Desempenho Humano, 2014-06-01) [Artigo]
O tempo de reação eletromiográfica (TRE) reflete a magnitude e a velocidade com que os músculos são ativados para realizar movimentos, evitar lesões ou posicionar uma articulação e pode ser avaliado após uma perturbação ...
Association between energy cost of walking, muscle activation, and biomechanical parameters in older female fallers and non-fallers
(Clinical Biomechanics, 2013-03-01) [Artigo]
Objective: To determine the nervous activation, muscle strength, and biomechanical parameters that influence the cost of walking in older fallers and non-fallers. Methods: Maximal voluntary isokinetic torque was measured ...
Is it possible to predict falls in older adults using gait kinematics?
(Clinical Biomechanics, 2018-11-01) [Artigo]
Background: Gait kinematic parameters have been reported as an important clinical tool to assess the risk of falls in older adults. However, the ability of these parameters to predict falls in the older population is still ...
