Muscle function, physical function, and gait in older women with and without kn...
Wolf,Renata; Pereira,Gleber; Mattos,Fernanda de; Lodovico,Angélica; Bento,Paulo Cesar BarauceAbstract Aim: To compare muscle function of knee extensors, gait parameters, and physical function in older women with and without knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and to associate these parameters to the KOA incidence in this population. Methods: Sixteen older women with KOA (66.9 ± 5.5 years; 74.9 ± 10.0 kg; 157.9 ± 0.9 cm; 30.2 ± 5.0 kg/m2) and fourteen healthy counterparts (control group: CG; 68.8 ± 5.8 years; 68....
Postural Control of People in treatment for substance use disorder
Malagodi,Bruno Marson; Greguol,Marcia; Carraro,Attilio; Cavazzotto,Timothy; Pereira,Gleber; Serassuelo Junior,HelioAbstract Aims: One of the common sequelae of chronic abuse of alcohol and/or illicit drugs is the impairment of body balance control, caused by long-term neurological damage. This study aimed to investigate the postural control of individuals hospitalized for the treatment of substance use disorder (initial phase) and to compare the results obtained by a control group. Method: For this, One-hundred fourteen ind...
Effects of additional external load manipulation on perceptual and physiologica...
Wolf,Renata; Rodacki,André Luiz Félix; Silveira,Mateus Corrêa; Krueger,Eddy; Pereira,GleberAbstract Aims: This study tested whether performing exergames with and without additional external load could induce to different internal load demand for young adults. Methods: Fifteen young women (24.4 ± 4.06 years) participated in the study. Electromyography (EMG) activity, heart rate (HR) and overall and local rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were determined in “Just Dance” and “Ski” exergames without add...
Perception of effort monitors internal load during compounded circuit training
Azevedo,Alessandra de; Matos,Lorena Fernanda de; Nakamura,Fábio Yuzo; Pereira,GleberAbstract The aim of this study was to determine if rating of perceived exertion (RPE) could be used to monitor the internal load during compounded circuit training (CCT) sessions in women. Thirteen young adults women performed three sessions of CCT varying the intensity according to participants' maximum heart rate (50, 70 and 90%HRmax). Throughout the main part of CCT (35min), HR and RPE were measured. Both va...
Vertical jump fatigue does not affect intersegmental coordination and segmental...
Pereira,Gleber; Freitas,Paulo B. de; Barela,Jose A.; Ugrinowitsch,Carlos; Rodacki,André L. F.; Kokubun,Eduardo; Fowler,Neil E.The aim of this study was to describe the intersegmental coordination and segmental contribution during intermittent vertical jumps performed until fatigue. Seven male visited the laboratory on two occasions: 1) the maximum vertical jump height was determined followed by vertical jumps habituation; 2) participants performed intermittent countermovement jumps until fatigue. Kinematic and kinetic variables were r...
