Acute physical exercise and hypertension in the elderly: A systematic review
(Revista Brasileira de Medicina do Esporte, 2020) [Resenha]As the population ages, health conditions, including hypertension (HT), which is one of the most prevalent diseases in the elderly population, increase. Regular physical exercise has been recommended for hypertensive ... -
Physical exercise as an immunomodulator of chronic diseases in aging
(Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 2020) [Artigo]Background: The progressive dysfunction of the immune system during aging appears to be involved in the pathogenesis of several age-related disorders. However, regular physical exercise can present “antiaging” effects on ... -
Synergies in the ground reaction forces and moments during double support in curb negotiation in young and older adults
(Journal of Biomechanics, 2020) [Artigo]Falls that occur while negotiating steps are a leading cause of death in older adults. Although recent efforts have improved understanding of the mechanics and control of stepping behaviors, the double support phase during ... -
Association between obesity and knee osteoarthritis in users of Brazilian unified national health system
(Bioscience Journal, 2020) [Artigo]Verify possible associations between obesity and knee OA in users of Brazilian Unified National Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde-SUS) of primary care network in Catalão-GO, Brazil. This is an observational study ... -
Cycling Performance Enhancement After Drop Jumps May Be Attributed to Postactivation Potentiation and Increased Anaerobic Capacity
(Journal of strength and conditioning research, 2020) [Artigo]de Poli, RAB, Boullosa, DA, Malta, ES, Behm, D, Lopes, VHF, Barbieri, FA, and Zagatto, AM. Cycling performance enhancement after drop jumps may be attributed to postactivation potentiation and increased anaerobic capacity. ... -
Wearing a head-mounted eye tracker may reduce body sway
(Neuroscience Letters, 2020) [Artigo]This study investigated the effects of wearing a head-mounted eye tracker on upright balance during different visual tasks. Twenty five young adults stood upright on a force plate while performing the visual tasks of ... -
Double obstacles increase gait asymmetry during obstacle crossing in people with Parkinson’s disease and healthy older adults: A pilot study
(Scientific Reports, 2020) [Artigo]Gait asymmetry during unobstructed walking in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) has been well documented. However, under complex situations, such as environments with double obstacles, gait asymmetry remains poorly ... -
High-intensity interval versus moderate-intensity continuous training in individuals with Parkinson's disease: Hemodynamic and functional adaptation
(Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 2020) [Artigo]Purpose: To investigate the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) versus moderate-intensity continuous exercise training (MICE) on hemodynamic and functional variables in individuals with Parkinson's disease. ... -
Effects of experimentally induced fatigue on healthy older adults' gait: A systematic review
(PLoS ONE, 2019) [Artigo]Introduction While fatigue is ubiquitous in old age and visibly interferes with mobility, studies have not yet examined the effects of self-reported fatigue on healthy older adults' gait. As a model that simulates this ... -
Analysis of mood states, trait anxiety, and state anxiety: A study with athletes before artistic gymnastics competitions
(Journal of Physical Education and Sport, 2019) [Artigo]The objective of the present study was to analyze and associate the scores related to mood, trait anxiety, and state anxiety in artistic female gymnasts moments before sports competitions. The sample consisted of 80 female ... -
Dominant/non-dominant support limb kinematics and approach run parameters in futsal kicking of stationary and rolling ball
(Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness, 2019) [Artigo]BACKGROUND: Task constraints and players’ asymmetry influences on lower extremity (i.e. kicking limb) kinematics during futsal instep kicking. However, support limb behavior when shooting in a futsal context was not ... -
Women’s femoral mass content correlates to muscle strength independently of lean body mass
(Revista Brasileira de Medicina do Esporte, 2019) [Artigo]Introduction: There is limited consensus regarding the recommendation of the most effective form of exercise for bone integrity, despite the fact that weight training exercise promotes an increase in muscle mass and strength ... -
Minimal effects of age and prolonged physical and mental exercise on healthy adults’ gait
(Gait and Posture, 2019) [Artigo]Background: Gait adaptability in old age can be examined by responses to various perturbations. Fatigability due to mental or muscle exercises can perturb internal cognitive and muscle resources, necessitating adaptations ... -
