Oral Anticoagulant-Related Nephropathy: a New Cause for an Old Entity.

Different physiological and perceptual parameters responses to six squat exerci...

With the use of high-precision wearable devices to monitor internal load increasing exponentially (Seshadri, 2019), objective measures, heart rate (HR) and muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2), and subjective measures, rate of perceived exertion (RPE) are widely used in the context of resistance training for the differentiated information they provide. This study compared the effects of six body-weight squat variati...

Depression, stress and anxiety in postmenopausal women and its relationship wit...

Women in menopause have more mood swings than before menopause. Several studies attempt to clarify the role of menopause in the development of depression, anxiety, and stress in midlife. However, there is controversy about the relationship of body composition with psychological distress in postmenopausal women. This study investigated the relationship between fat mass (FM) and visceral fat level (FVL) with anxi...

Acute physiological response to three different isometric exercises on hemodyna...

According to the literature, exercise sessions for the population with hypertension are usually combined with cardiovascular exercise followed by isometric muscle strength exercise. So, this study aims to evaluate the acute effect of 3 strength exercises focusing on isometric contractions on Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Mean Blood Pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR). A total of ...

Comparisons of peripheral physiological responses of push-up variations exercis...

Technological advances in sports allow coaches and researchers to better identify the stimulus-response dose, maximising performance and decreasing the risk of injury (Li et al., 2016). Real-time continuous monitoring of peripheral physiological responses using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a promising area, as it reflects the local effort of a specific muscle during and after exercise (Barstow et al., 2...

Walk or be walked by the dog? The attachment role

The recruitment of dogs as a source of encouragement and motivation for physical activity (PA) has garnered increased scientific attention (Christian et al., 2016; Morrison et al., 2014; Soares et al., 2015; Westgarth et al., 2014). Accelerometers are a valuable instrument for quantifying PA and energy expenditure in both humans and dogs (Montoye et al., 2020; Yam et al., 2011). However, a recent meta-analytica...

Effect of a physical exercise program on depression in elderlies living in nurs...

In recent years, there has been an increase in demographic ageing in Portugal and the prevalence of depression in elderlies living in nursing homes. Frailty and independence loss may contribute to the increase in depression among the elderly. Exercise has been suggested as an effective intervention, with no negative secondary effects, to avoid the increased rate of age-related loss of functionality and independ...

Effect of physical exercise in sarcopenia in institutionalised elderlies

Ageing is an irreversible natural and normal life process that leads to function loss, often associated with sarcopenia and increased dependence on others. Physical exercise induces an improvement in muscle function, counteracting the effects of ageing and potentially delaying dependence. The main objective of this study was to measure the effect of a physical exercise program on physical fitness, sarcopenia, a...

Cardiorespiratory fitness in postmenopausal women: relationship with indirect m...

The impairment of cardiorespiratory fitness associated with arterial stiffness has been related to excessive physiological changes, being considered important predictors of risk of cardiovascular diseases (Albin et al., 2020). Evidence on the interaction between cardiorespiratory fitness, arterial stiffness and cardiovascular stress in postmenopausal women remains limited. This relationship analysis proves to b...

Cardiorespiratory fitness and heart rate variability in early and late postmeno...

Limited information is found on the interaction between increased postmenopausal time, cardiorespiratory fitness level, and its relation to the autonomic nervous system. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and heart rate variability (HRV) in early and late postmenopausal women. The sample comprises 75 postmenopausal women included in the “Meno(s)paus...
