The role of regular physical exercise for enhancement of long-term memory in th...
Schimidt, Helen Lidiane; Carpes, Pâmela Billig Mello; Carpes, Felipe PivettaAims: We performed a systematic review of recent literature to discuss the role of physical exercise on cognition of the elderly, especially long-term memory (LTM). Source of data: The articles were sought in scientific journals indexed in Medline through PubMe and PubMed Central websites. In the final yield a total of 8 articles was selected. They show that Exercise programs improving LTM in the elderly involv...
ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT OF BACK MUSCLES IN CYCLING: A CASE STUDY
Dagnese, Frederico; Martins, Elisandro de Assis; Machado, Álvaro Sosa; Rocha, Emmanuel Souza da; Mota, Carlos Bolli; Carpes, Felipe PivettaHere we quantified the electric neuromuscular activity of selected back muscles of a trained mountain bike cyclist without history of low back pain. For data collection, cyclist’ own bicycle was attached to a cycle simulator. The cyclist cycled at workload set between 70% and 80% of peak power output until exhaustion. Electromyography data was analyzed considering the root mean square values computed to represe...
Effects of cycling with the knees close to the bicycle frame on the lower limb ...
Bini, Rodrigo Rico; Carpes, Felipe Pivetta; Diefenthaeler, FernandoCyclist's body position on the bike has been related to changes in muscle activation. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare the activation of Tibialis Anterior, Gastrocnemius Medialis, Biceps Femoris, Rectus Femoris, Vastus Lateralis, Adductor Longus e Gluteus Maximus muscles in three conditions: 1) reference position (preferred position); 2) adduction position (knees almost touching the bicycl...
Relação entre simetria bilateral e aspectos neuromusculares e de treinamento do...
Carpes, Felipe PivettaAssimetrias de desempenho, frequentemente, são relacionadas ao controle e desenvolvimento motor da extremidade superior. Por outro lado, a extremidade inferior do corpo humano está muito mais envolvida em ações bilaterais, como aquelas relacionadas à locomoção. Ainda assim, diferenças no desempenho dos membros inferiores foram descritos na literatura, como, por exemplo, em relação à força durante tarefas de and...
Desenvolvimento de um sistema de pedais dinamométricos para avaliação biomecâni...
Carpes, Felipe PivettaCoordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; The assessment of pedal forces is one of the more sophisticated methods applied on the sports sciences to accomplish cycling performance tests. With information of pedal forces the pedaling technique is evaluated based on the ability of the cyclists to produce and apply forces on the pedals. Several variables concerning the performance can be monitore...
Pedal forces in a simulated 40 km time-trial: preliminar study
Carpes, Felipe Pivetta; Mota, Carlos Bolli; Bini, Rodrigo Rico; Diefenthaeler, Fernando; Guimarães, Antônio Carlos Stringhini; Nabinger, EduardoO objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o comportamento das forças aplicadas no pedal durante uma prova de ciclismo 40 km contra-relógio simulada. Avaliou-se um triatleta de nível internacional utilizando-se uma bicicleta modelo estrada acoplada a um ciclossimulador eletromagnético. O protocolo consistiu em completar 40 km no menor tempo possível, utilizando estratégia de livre escolha, incluindo cadência e relaçã...
