Effects of two 24-week multimodal exercise programs on reaction time, mobility,...
Rosado, H; Bravo, J; Raimundo, A; Carvalho, J; Marmeleira, J; Pereira, CBackground Falls in older adults are considered a major public health problem. Declines in cognitive and physical functions, as measured by parameters including reaction time, mobility, and dual-task performance, have been reported to be important risk factors for falls. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two multimodal programs on reaction time, mobility, and dual-task performance in commu...
Impact of a supervised multicomponent physical exercise program on cognitive fu...
Leite, N; Costa, M; Marmeleira, J; Viana, J; Raimundo, A; Mendes, RThis study evaluated the impact of a multicomponent exercise program on cognitive functions in participants with Type 2 Diabetes. Participants (n = 70, 65.6 ± 5.9 years) engaged in the program (75 min per session; 3 x week) for 32 weeks. A battery of cognitive tests was performed at baseline and study completion. Two groups were formed according to their attendance rate (low and high attendance), and statistica...

Ferreira, S; Raimundo, A; Marmeleira, JThis study aimed to determine the absolute and relative test-retest reliability of the functional reach test (FRT) and the handgrip strength test (HGST) in older adults using nursing homes. Methods Participants (≥ 65 years old), living in nursing homes or using their day care services, were distributed into a group without cognitive impairment (GWCI, n = 43) and a group with mild cognitive impairment (GCI; n = ...
Psychometric properties of a computerized and hand-reaction time tests in older...
Ferreira, S; Raimundo, A; Marmeleira, JThe aim of this study was to determine the absolute and relative reliability and validity of two reaction time (RT) tests in older adults using long-term facility: the ruler drop test (RDT, a simple RT) and the Deary-Liewald RT task (DLRT, simple and four-choice RT). Participants (≥65 years old) using long-term facilities were distributed into a group without cognitive impairment (GWCI, n = 41), and a group wit...
The effects of a multimodal exercise program plus brain games apps in cognitive...
Raimundo, A; Ferreira, S; Leite, N; Soares, G; Marmeleira, JINTRODUCTION The aging process leads to inevitable life changes and is characterized by a progressive loss of psychological and physiological functions (1). Often, these changes lead to institutionalization, where cognition and physical fitness tends to decline (2). Some studies have shown that multimodal exercise programs can have a broad impact in older adults, improving a number of cognitive and physical fun...
