Parraca, J.A.; Marmeleira, J.; Bravo, J.; Raimundo, A.; Batalha, Nuno; Tomas-Carus, P.Thirty-one older people (age 70,2±6,3 years) were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n=16), performing 16 weeks, 2 weekly sessions of 30 min of exercise with warm up (5 min bycicle and 5 min 4 set of exercises) 30 sec x 4 sets of whole body vibration (WBV) with 60 sec of rest between sets; or to a control group (n=15). Maximal isokinetic strength was measured at 60º/s in the knee extensors and flexors ...
The Effect of Expertise during Simulated Flight Emergencies on the Autonomic Re...
Santos, S.; Parraca, J.A.; Fernandes, O.; Villafaina, S.; Clemente-Suarez, V.J.; Melo, F.Heart rate variability (HRV) and performance response during emergency flight maneuvers were analyzed. Two expert pilots (ages 35 and 33) and two rookie pilots (ages 25) from the Portuguese Air Force participated in this case–control report study. Participants had to complete the following emergency protocols in a flight simulator: (1) take-off engine failure, (2) flight engine failure close to the base, (3) fl...

Test-Retest Intra-Session Reliability of Isokinetic Knee Strength Measurements ...
Collado-Mateo, D.; Domínguez-Muñoz, F.J.; Adsuar, J.C.; Parraca, J.A.; Tomas-Carus, P.; Garcia-Gordillo, M.A.; Raimundo, A.M.Abstract: Background: Childhood obesity is one of the most critical global health challenges. Poor knee extensor strength is associated with disability and difficulties with physical function in obese patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the test-retest reliability of peak torque and total work in concentric flexion and concentric extension in obese children. Methods: 25 obese children aged bet...
Effects of Pilates-based exercises on immediate pain in older people with persi...
Tomas-Carus, P.; Silva, V.; Marques, I.; Parraca, J.A.; Raimundo, A.; Biehl-Printes, C.Introduction: The low back pain is the most documented sort of vertebral column`s pain, it may affect almost 84% of the people at some point of their life (Airaksinen et al., 2006). This study aimed to determine the immediate changes of Pilates-based exercises program on pain (before vs. after session) in older people with persistent non-specific low back pain. Methods: Fifteen older people (age 65.5±3.5 years;...
Effects of whole body vibration exercise on muscle strength and dynamic balance...
Vieira, I.; Fernandes, O.; Raimundo, A.; Parraca, J.A.; Batalha, N.; Tomas-Carus, P.Introduction: One of the major causes generating disability and even death among the elderly population are the falls, and as such a major public health problem (Bogaerts, Delechulse, Boonen, Claessens, Milisen & Verschueren, 2011). There are several studies that show that the Whole Body Vibration (WBV) can be a reliable alternative to many other types of training to reduce the risk of falls of the elderly, by ...
