Kinetic Analysis of Water Fitness Exercises: Contributions for Strength Develop...
Santos, Catarina; Rama, L; Marinho, Daniel; Barbosa, Tiago M.; Costa, Mário JorgeThe evaluation of propulsive forces in water allows the selection of the most appropriate strategies to develop strength during water fitness sessions. The aim of this study was threefold: (i) to analyze the rate of force production; (ii) to analyze the rate of force variation; and (iii) to compare limbs' symmetry in two water fitness exercises. Twenty-two young health subjects (age: 21.23 ± 1.51 years old, bod...

Minuzzi, LG; Rama, L; Bishop, NC; Rosado, F; Martinho, A; Paiva, A; Teixeira, AMPURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to quantify and characterize peripheral blood regulatory T cells (Tregs), as well as the IL-10 plasma concentration, in Masters athletes at rest and after an acute exhaustive exercise test. METHODS: Eighteen Masters athletes (self-reported training: 24.6 ± 1.83 years; 10.27 ± 0.24 months and 5.45 ± 0.42 h/week per each month trained) and an age-matched control group of ten...
