Gender differences in elite athletes heart rate dynamics following a supra maximal complex effort

Regarding the importance of recovery in sport performance assessment of post exercise Heart Rate HR Dynamics has become a useful tool to understand such an individual process Heart Rate Variability HRV analysis is widely used as a non invasive marker of Autonomic Nervous System regulation of HR where the nonlinear methods Detrended Fluctuation Analysis DFA have become a promising complementary analysis technique In order to deepen on the effects of supra maximal complex efforts integrating specific endurance and strength requirements on cardiac autonomic regulation our research group is working in different protocols looking for the analysis of specific responses under supra maximal exertio…

Strategies to change body composition in older adults: do type of exercise and dose distribution matter?

Background: This study aims to analyze changes in sedentary elderlies' body composition, comparing the impact of two dose distributions: continuous (60 min/session) vs. accumulated (30 min/session in the morning and 30 min/session in the afternoon), on two types of physical exercise programs (multicomponent-training [MCT] vs. walking interval-training [WIT]). Methods: Forty-six sedentary overweight elderly (71.3±4.3 years) were evaluated by bioimpedance with a pre-post 2x2 factorial design. Participants were distributed in four homogeneous groups, considering gait and health parameters. Results: The overall sample showed significant improvements in fat mass (% and kg) and fat-free mass (kg)…

Inspiratory Muscle Strength and Cardiorespiratory Fitness Association With Health-Related Quality of Life in Healthy Older Adults

The main purpose of this study was to explore similarities and differences in the association between two capabilities affecting the cardiorespiratory system (overall and multifactorial cardiorespiratory fitness and inspiratory muscle strength) and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL), in a group of active healthy seniors. Sixty-five individuals (age, 73.01 ± 5.27 years; 53 women) who participated regularly in a multicomponent training program completed the EuroQol 5D-5L questionnaire, the 6-min walking test (6MWT), and the maximum inspiratory pressure test (MIP). Non-parametric correlations (Spearman's rho) were conducted to analyze the association between HRQoL indices (EQindex and …

High versus low motivating music on intermittent fitness and agility in young well-trained basketball players

The present study aimed to analyse the influence of the music level of motivation, compared to the absence of music, on intermittent fitness and agility, in a group of young well-trained basketball players. On alternate days, thirteen players (14.85 ± 0.68 years, 188 ± 0.05 cm, 75.89 ± 8.02 kg) were assessed of the V-Cut test (agility test including changes of direction) and the 30–15 Intermittent Fitness Test (30-15IFT; maximal running speed under fatigue). There were six testing sessions over three consecutive weeks, with three different randomized conditions: team-selected High Motivating Music (HMM), Low Motivating Music (LMM), and the No-Music condition (NM). Arterial oxygen saturation…

Continuous Compared to Accumulated Walking-Training on Physical Function and Health-Related Quality of Life in Sedentary Older Persons

The present study aimed to analyze the impact of overground walking interval training (WIT) in a group of sedentary older adults, comparing two different dose-distributions. In this quasi-experimental and longitudinal study, we recruited twenty-three sedentary older adults (71.00 &plusmn

Beneficial Effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training Combined With Multicomponent Training in Elderly Active Women

ABSTRACTPurpose: This study aims to analyze changes in Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (MIP), lung function, cardiorespiratory fitness, and blood pressure, in 10 healthy active elderly women, followin...

Multicomponent Exercise Training Combined with Nutritional Counselling Improves Physical Function, Biochemical and Anthropometric Profiles in Obese Children: A Pilot Study

Aerobics or strength exercise plus diet interventions have been shown to counteract childhood obesity. However, little is known with regard to periodized multicomponent exercise interventions combined with nutritional counselling, which might be less demanding but more enjoyable and respectful of children and adolescents&rsquo

Determinants of dynamic inspiratory muscle strength in healthy trained elderly.

Background: The S-Index assessed by means of electronic devices is a measure of Inspiratory Muscle Strength (IMS) that highly correlates with the maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP). The variables involved when using regression models for the prediction of IMS/MIP depend on both the sample characteristics and the device or protocol used. In light of the scarce information on the influence of physical activity (PA) on IMS in healthy older adults (OA), together with the incorporation of new assessment devices, the objectives of this research are: 1) to determine which factors influence the IMS in a group of trained OA, using a portable electronic device; and 2) to propose a regression model to…

Fuerza muscular inspiratoria dinámica y aptitud cardiorrespiratoria en función de edad y sexo

espanolObjetivo: Analizar la relacion entre fuerza inspiratoria y aptitud cardiorrespiratoria en un grupo de adultos mayores sanos y entrenados, atendiendo a edad y sexo. Metodo: Estudio descriptivo, de corte transversal y prospectivo. De los 153 participantes en el programa de entrenamiento multicomponente EFAM-UV© y mayores de 60 anos, 87 fueron evaluados de composicion corporal, presion arterial, saturacion de oxigeno, fuerza inspiratoria maxima y test de 6 minutos marcha. Como criterios de exclusion: fumador, padecer/haber padecido enfermedad respiratoria, cardiaca, neuromuscular o de la caja toracica, padecer/haber padecido deterioro cognitivo y/o llevar protesis dental. 67 adultos may…

Exploring Potential Benefits of Accumulated Multicomponent-Training in Non-Active Older Adults: From Physical Fitness to Mental Health

The present study aimed to analyze the impact of a multicomponent training (MCT) program in a group of non-active older adults, comparing two different dose distributions. Twenty-four individuals, assigned to two groups, completed 15 weeks of MCT (2 days/week). The continuous group (CMCT

120 min/week of neuromotor multicomponent training are enough to improve executive function and functional fitness in older women.

Purpose: The study aimed at comparing the effects of a neuromotor multicomponent training program (MCTP) on executive function, functional fitness, blood pressure, body composition and health-related quality of life (HRQOL), compared with a concurrent strength and endurance exercise training program (CONTROL-EXE) and a cognitive training program (CONTROL-COG). Methods: 56 older women (73 ± 6 years) completed the 30-weeks intervention. The three groups attended two 60-min sessions per week and they were assessed before and after the intervention. Results: MCTP showed a moderate improvement in Stroop C condition (28 ± 7 vs 32 ± 8 correct items; p = 0.001; d = 0.53) and Stroop interference sco…
