Objective (balance, sit-to-stand, handrip strength, and six-minut...
Anthropometric parameters as predictors of muscle mass in elderly women
Santana, Fábio da Silva; Farah, Breno Quintela; Soares, Antonio Henrique Germano; Correia, Marilia de Almeida; dos Prazeres, Thaliane Mayara PessôaThe aims of study were to analyze the relationship between muscle mass and anthropometric parameters in elderly women and to develop a mathematical model to predict muscle mass based on anthropometric parameters. The study included 63 elderly women (71.4 ± 4.4 years). Body weight, height, arm, waist, hip and calf circumferences were measured. Muscle mass was estimated using a densitometry. The muscle mass index...
Resistance exercise performed with repetitions until failure affects nocturnal ...
Correia, Marilia de Almeida; Lima, Aluísio Henrique Rodrigues Andrade; Cardoso-Junior, Crivaldo Gomes; Rodrigues-da-Silva, Anderson José MeloStudies have shown that resistance exercise reduces 24-hour blood pressure to levels below resting values, although this is not a universal finding. The number of repetitions has been shown to influence this response. Thus, the aim of the study was to analyze the effects of resistance exercise performed until failure (UF) on 24-hour blood pressure in hypertensive women. Thirteen hypertensive women underwent thr...
