Effects of a 16-week High-Speed Resistance Training program on body composition...

Background & aims: Aging frequently causes changes in body composition, such as a loss of strength and muscular mass and an increase in fat mass. Exercise training programs have been suggested as effective strategies to mitigate or prevent age-related declines in body composition. Therefore, this study exam- ined the effects of a sixteen-week High-Speed Resistance Training (HSRT) program on body composition par...

External load transition practices from pre-season to in-season. A case study i...

Thestudy aim wastocomparetheexternal load during varying microcycles (M1-M4 during pre-season and M5during the in-season) in elite female Portuguese soccer players and to describe external load variations between differing Ms. Fourteen first-team players partici pated in the study (age 23.29 ± 3.19 years, weight 59.14 ± 6.87 kg, height 1.66 ± 0.08 m). Load measures included total distance, high-speed running (H...

Drop set versus traditional strength training protocols equated in volume on mu...

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two strength training protocols, equated in volume, on the elbow flexor muscle thickness (MT) in women. Methods Twenty-seven women (mean±sd, age 21.89±2.85 years; stature,167.82±5.90 cm; body mass 63.01±7.20 kg; estimate of body fat mass, 19.19±2.88%) were divided in three experimental groups: a drop-set (DS), a traditional (TR), and a control grou...

Are physiological, physical, wellness and load decisive markers of starting pla...

The study aim was to compare physiological, physical, accumulated wellness and load markers within a European professional soccer team between starters and non-starters. Ten starters (age: 25.1 ± 2.2 years; experience: 7.3 ± 2.3 years) and eight non starters (age: 26.1 ± 4.6; years’ experience: 8.3 ± 4.1 years) participated in the study. The study was conducted across 20 weeks where 75 training sessions and 15 ...

Efeitos do destreino

O envelhecimento da população na grande maioria dos países a nível mundial40 tem conduzido a um aumento da incidência de incapacidades e lesões acidentais relacionadas à idade, frequentemente causadas por quedas6,40 . Nos últimos anos, as evidências científicas reportam que, principalmente em indivíduos mais velhos, estas ocorrências são até certo ponto evitáveis. Especificamente, vários estudos confirmaram que...

Treino de força baseado na velocidade: riscos de quedas e marcha

O envelhecimento humano envolve diversos comprometimentos fisiológicos (1). Em particular, a diminuição da função sensoriomotora e as alterações no sistema nervoso (2) reduzem a força muscular, potência, equilíbrio e desempenho das capacidades funcionais (3), o que pode aumentar o risco de quedas (4). Por sua vez, estas são a segunda principal causa de mortes relacionadas a lesões não intencionais na população ...

Phase angle as a key marker of muscular and bone quality in community- dwelling...

The aim of the present cross-sectional exploratory pilot study was to analyze the ability of the Phase Angle (PhA) to predict physical function, muscle strength and bone indicators, upon adjusting for potential confounders [age, sex, lean mass, and body mass index (BMI)]. This study included 56 physically independent older adults (age, 68.29 ±3.01 years; BMI, 28.09 ±4.37 kg/m2). A multi-frequency segmental bioe...

Effects of warm-up duration on acute physical performance in highly trained mal...

Warm-up is a traditional pre-match routine that aims to enhance players’ readiness to subsequent activity. Manipulating the warm-up structure may be important to enhance acute performance. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different warm-up dura- tions on futsal players’ physical performance. Twelve highly trained male futsal players participated in this study during the in-season. All players perf...
