Filter by:Cognitive impairment or dementia is their last degree in one of the main concerns at a social level in these ages. To this day, there are different pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies that can help prevent deterioration, as in this case, physical exercise. In the existing scientific literature, you can find a lot of information about the effect of aerobic exercise on cognition, but little is known about the effect of force exercise and its effect on general cognition and executive functions. Therefore, in this research the investigators will investigate the effect of strength training in people over 60 with a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment in executive functions. For this, a controlled and randomized clinical trial will be developed in the city of Seville
A strength training session promotes increased muscle sensitivity to protein synthesis, which lasts for 24 hours after its closure. Recent studies have shown that the subsequent intake to the training session of approximately 20g or 0.24g / kg of high-quality protein in the same meal induces a plateau in this synthesis. Thus, this study aims to compare the muscular strength between vegetarian and omnivorous athletes with adequate protein intake to reach this plateau. It will recruit 64 university sportsmen who have maintained vegetarian or omnivorous diet for at least 6 months, totalizing 32 individuals per group. After signing the Term of Consent, participants will be submitted to anthropometric and body composition assessment (via DEXA), neuromuscular tests [(ie, muscle strength - 1RM, peak torque of knee extensors (JE), muscle thickness of JE and cohort analysis (ANCOVA) will be used in order to compare the results of the study, and to compare the results of the covariance analysis (ANCOVA). the levels of the neuromuscular parameters between the groups, considering the initial values of the force and the initial muscular thickness as covariables, the other parameters will be presented in the form of mean and standard deviation or median, the differences will be considered significant for values of p <0, 05. Expected to find no differences in strength and muscle thickness between vegetarians and omnivores after adequate protein intake.
Heart failure (HF) is a major public health problem. This is the first cause of hospitalization and mortality of about 65 years old. This syndrome is characterized by a poor prognosis and a high cost of care. Thus, new strategies for treatment and prevention of the HF are among the major challenges facing health sciences today. The management of HF requires multimodal approach it involves a combination of non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment, Besides improvements in pharmacological treatment, supervised exercise programs are recommended for all patients with HF as part of a non-pharmacological management but many questions regarding exercise training in HF patients remain unanswered. Even simple questions such as the best mode of training for these patients are unclear. The aim of this study 1. First, to characterize the physiological functions involved in the genesis of exercise intolerance and dyspnea especially muscle function (respiratory and skeletal), and cardiopulmonary patients suffering from chronic HF. 2. Second, to study and compare the effects of different rehabilitation programs and prove the superiority of the combination of three training modalities program: aerobic training (AT), resistance training (RT) and inspiratory muscle training (IMT). These modalities are: Aerobic Training: It has been proven effective in improving muscle abnormalities on changing the ventricular remodeling, dyspnea, functional capacity, increasing the maximum performance and reducing hospitalization in subjects suffering HF. Resistance Training: It has been proven effective in improving skeletal muscle metabolism and angiogenesis; increasing capillary density and blood flow to the active skeletal muscles, promoting the synthesis and release of nitric oxide, and decreasing oxidative stress. Selective Inspiratory Muscle Training: It has been proven effective in improving the strength and endurance of the respiratory muscles and reduction of dyspnea during daily activities.
The WHISH-2-Prevent Heart Failure (HF) study is an ancillary study to the Women's Health Initiative Strong and Healthy (WHISH) exercise pragmatic trial. The WHISH-2-Prevent HF trial examines the intervention effect of physical activity (PA) on both incident HF and HF burden (recurrent HF and CVD death in those with HF) in a cost effective manner in elderly women. In addition, it will allow a dose-finding analysis to better understand the type, intensity and frequency of PA that leads to a reduced risk and burden of HF. The focus of the parent WHISH trial is on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and not heart failure.
The study will aim to determine the effectiveness of a strength training program using resistance bands to increase strength in adults ≥65 years old
Background: It has been demonstrated that core strength training is an effective means to enhance trunk muscle strength (TMS) and athletic performance in youth. However, the role of instability with core strength training is unresolved in youth. This study specifically will investigate the effects of core stability (CST) compared to core instability strength training (CIST) on physical fitness in adolescents. Methods: Twenty-seven (14 girls, 13 boys) healthy adolescents (age 14±1 years) will be assigned to a CST (n=13) or a CIST (n=14) group. Both training programs will last 6 weeks (2 sessions/week) and included frontal, dorsal, and lateral core exercises. During CIST, these exercises will be conducted on unstable surfaces (e.g., TOGU© DYNAIR CUSSIONS, THERA-BAND© STABILITY TRAINER). Expected Results: Based on selected results reported in the literature, we hypothesize that participants performing CIST as compared to CST will show larger improvements in physical fitness tests (i.e., strength, speed, flexibility, coordination, balance) following training. Of note, training induced gains in strength, speed, flexibility, coordination, and balance are of vital importance for sports performance, everyday activities, and injury prevention.
The purpose of this study is to compare the impact of different levels of mechanical stress and muscle fatigue in strength training conditions on muscle strength, muscle mass and inflammatory processes.
