NCT ID: NCT02346981 Completed - Clinical trials for Healthy Older Adults

Resistance Training and Post-exercise Blood Pressure in Normotensive Older Women

Start date: February 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the present study was to analyze the effect of 12 weeks of resistance training on post-exercise blood pressure (BP) and to to correlate the acute and chronic decrease in blood pressure (BP) following resistance training in normotensive older women. Twenty-eight older women were randomly assigned to a training group (TG) or to a control group (CG). The TG underwent a resistance training program (8 exercises, 2 sets, 10-15 repetitions), while the CG performed stretching exercises (2 sets, 20 s each, 2 nonconsecutive days/week). Both groups performed the intervention for 12 weeks. At baseline and after intervention the subjects were submitted to two sessions: resistance exercise session and control session. In these sessions, BP was obtained in pre and post-sessions. Rest blood pressure were also measure at baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention.

NCT ID: NCT02110056 Completed - Clinical trials for Healthy Older Adults

Modulation of Visual-Spatial Learning in Healthy Older Adults by tDCS

Start date: March 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to investigate whether a combination of intensive training of visual-spatial abilities (LOCATO task) with anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) leads to an improvement of learning and memory in healthy older adults and to examine the underlying neuronal mechanism.

NCT ID: NCT02104999 Completed - Clinical trials for Healthy Older Adults

Technical Accuracy and Userfriendliness of a Point-Of-Care C Reactive Protein Device in a Nursing Home Setting

Start date: June 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Study to test the technical accuracy and userfriendliness of a Point-of-care C Reactive Protein device (POC CRP device) in comparison with laboratory CRP testing in nursing home residents

NCT ID: NCT01411059 Completed - Clinical trials for Healthy Older Adults

Yoga Empowers Seniors Study

YESS
Start date: July 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is an Intervention Development Study (IDS) to quantify the physical demands (using biomechanical investigation) of a 2-phase (beginning & intermediate), 32-week yoga program designed for community-dwelling older adults. Additionally, the IDS will explore the adherence and adverse events of participation in the program. Data from the IDS will be used to develop evidenced-based yoga programs, which the investigators postulate will be associated with fewer musculoskeletal side effects compared to non-evidence based yoga programs. The investigators also postulate that evidenced-based tailoring of yoga for seniors will enhance adherence and efficacy. The programs developed during this IDS will be tested in an expanded, Phase II, Randomized Controlled Trial.
