Purpose. To analyze and to compare the absolute and relative muscle power of the lower limbs in sedentary elderly subjects with and without heart failure. Methods. The study included 36 elderly subjects (72 ± 6.5 years, 76.8 ± 4.8 kg, 171 ± 9.4 cm) divided into two groups: sixteen patients with heart failure versus twenty patients with coronary artery disease, but without heart failure. The muscle power of the ...
Young soccer players undertake anthropometric measurements for directing the effectiveness of training programs. However, the use of the eight-electrode electrical bioimpedance method is increasingly being used for the body composition evaluation. The purpose of this study was to compare and correlate body composition, using anthropometric predictive equations, with the use of electrical bioimpedance. Thirty Br...
OBJECTIVES: To compare the effects of combinations of resistance training (RT) and static stretching (SS) on heart rate (HR), systolic pressure (SBP), diastolic pressure (DBP), rate pressure product (RPP), oxygen saturation (SpO2), rating of perceived effort (RPE), and heart rate variability (HRV) in men. METHODS: Twelve normotensive healthy men participated in four protocols: a) SS+RT, b) RT+SS, c) RT, and d) ...
O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o efeito de diferentes ordens de exercícios sobre a pressão arterial (PA) após sessões de treinamento de força (TF). Quinze idosas hipertensas inexperientes em TF foram divididas em dois grupos. Grupo de membros superiores (G1) e grupo membros inferiores (G2). O G1 realizou três séries de 15 repetições submáximas na sequência de exercícios: Supino Reto (SR), Remada Fechada (...
This study compared training load and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) during resistance training (RT) and aerobic training (AT) sessions at self-selected intensity. Participants were 54 recreationally trained subjects assigned to either RT or AT groups. During RT, participants performed three sets of 10 repetitions of each exercise at a self-selected intensity (load). After RT completion, participants perfo...
The purpose of this study was to compare differences in muscle strength and self-selected 3 resistance training intensities between trained subjects who trained under the supervision of a 4 personal trainer (PT) and those who trained without supervision (WoPT). Twenty-one trained 5 subjects, men (n = 12) and women (n = 9), completed three sessions (separated by 48 hours) in the following sequence: (1st 6 ) self...
During the repeated execution of the swimming strokes, the shoulder adductor and internal rotator muscles have a tendency to become proportionally stronger when compared to their antagonist group. This can lead to muscle imbalances. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a compensatory training programme on the strength and balance of shoulder rotator muscles in young swimmers. A randomized control...
O objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar a influência do Teste de Sentar e Alcançar (TSA) modificado com e sem aquecimento sobre o score final obtido por diferentes faixas etárias de homens e mulheres fisicamente ativos. A amostra foi composta por 412 sujeitos, sendo 321 do gênero feminino (45 ± 14,09 anos; 66 ± 12,23Kg; 1,55 ± 0,05m) e 91 do gênero masculino (42 ± 15,75 anos; 74,6 ± 12,41Kg; 1,65 ± 0,07m). T...
