The association of old age and chronic conditions, such as hypertension and obesity, can lead to larger decreases in the physical capacities of elderly, compared with their healthy counterparts. Physical exercise has been demonstrated to be efficient in postponing this phenomenon, mainly strength training. However, little is known about the effect of aerobic training on this condition. The aim of this work was ...
Hypertension and obesity are prevalent diseases in elderly people, and their combination can cause deleterious effects on physiological system. Moderate intensity aerobic training (MIAT) seems to be a beneficial approach to control and treat these diseases separately. However, few studies have investigated the impact of MIAT on cardiovascular risk factors associated with these conditions (i.e., elevated blood p...
Sport training programs to young swimmers have to aggregate different physical stimulus to collaborate with overall physical development, which can lead to reach best results in competitions. Linear periodization seems to be a powerful tool that allow the organization of these stimulus. However, this model has been not studied. Regarding physical capacities, aerobic fitness is inversely related with fatigue and...
Objective: To analyze the addition of resistance training in aerobic exercises dur-ing post-exercise hypotension (PEH). Methods: Nine normotensive males, aged between 20 and 35 years were subjected to two experimental sessions on a cycle ergometer: (1) aerobic exercise performed on a cycle ergometer (62% and 68% of reserve heart rate [HR]) (S1); (2) the same training as S1, with the addition of el-bow flexionin...
Behavior and heart rate perceived exertion during combat Brazilian JIU-JITSUThe purpose of present study was evaluate the behavior of heart rate (HR) and the relationship with the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) athletes with age of 27±6.24 years, 85.6±16.95 kg and 1.76±0.06 m. The experimental protocol consisted of a fight simulation with regular time (10 minutes) even without t...
