Strength Training Decreases Inflammation and Increases Cognition and Physical Fitness in Older Women with Cognitive Impairment.
2017
International audience; Introduction: Cognitive impairment that affects older adults is commonly associated with an inflammatory imbalance, resulting in decreased physical fitness. Exercise has been pointed to mitigate immunosenescence and cognitive impairment associated with aging, while increase in physical fitness. However, few studies explored the relationship between changes in cytokine concentration and improvement on cognition due to elastic band strength training. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of strength training on pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines, hematological markers and physical fitness of older women with cognitive impairment. Methods: Thirty-three w…
Efectos del entrenamiento de la fuerza con resistencia variable elástica a lo largo de la vida: una revisión sistemática
2020
The benefits of strength training programs with isoto-nic free weights or machines have been well-documen-ted in all age groups. However, exercise and healthcare professionals sometime question whether it is possible to obtain the same results with devices of variable re-sistance, such as elastic bands. To answer this question, the purpose of this systematic review was to identify and summarize the positive effects of elastic resistance exercises used across the lifespan on health outcomes including body composition, functional and performan-ce capacity, and biochemical variables. A secondary aim was to identify common dosage parameters of strength training programs using elastic resistance…
Métodos de entrenamiento de fuerza alternativos para incrementar la activación muscular en ejercicios de empuje
2016
Introducción. Los movimientos en los que se empuja o presiona con los brazos a una resistencia externa constituyen un elemento clásico dentro de los programas de entrenamiento de la fuerza. Tradicionalmente se han empleado ejercicios convencionales con pesos libres y máquinas con los que se conseguía alcanzar intensidades de activación muscular altas. Sin embargo, tratando de incrementar en mayor medida la intensidad en este tipo de ejercicios, durante los últimos años se han comenzado a utilizar nuevos medios y métodos alternativos (por ejemplo utilizando dispositivos de suspensión, resistencia elástica o tratando de activar músculos de forma selectiva). No obstante, es escasa la evidencia…
Analysis of Compliance with Time under Tension and Force during Strengthening Exercises with Elastic Bands
2021
Quantifying training variables of a physical exercise modality is essential for an appropriate dosage. In training with elastic bands, time under tension (TUT) and force represent the duration and intensity of this force-training modality. The aims of this study were to evaluate the degree of compliance to TUT prescription for three different scenarios of two exercises and the comparison of the force values obtained versus the estimate values. A total of 29 healthy volunteers were evaluated in a clinical environment under controlled conditions in 3 different scenarios (different velocities or ROMs) of both shoulder abduction and knee extension in 2 sets of 10 repetitions per scenario within…
Effects of aquatic and dry land resistance training devices on body composition and physical capacity in postmenopausal women.
2013
Effects of Aquatic and Dry Land Resistance Training Devices on Body Composition and Physical Capacity in Postmenopausal Women To determine the effects of a supervised strength training program on body composition and physical capacity of older women using three different devices: weight machines, elastic bands, and aquatic devices that increase drag forces (ADIDF). Four groups were formed: control group, weight machine group (WMG), elastic band group (EBG) and a group that used ADIDF (ADIDFG). Body composition and physical capacity were assessed before and after the intervention period. The ADIDFG showed improvements in fat mass (FM), fat-free mass of the left arm (FFM-LA) and right arm (FF…
Efectos de la aplicación de un analgésico de mentol previo al entrenamiento de la fuerza muscular sobre parámetros de dolor y capacidad funcional de …
2021
El dolor lumbar crónico (DLC) afecta a más del 30% de los adultos mayores que viven en la comunidad y es la afección musculoesquelética más prevalente en esta población, razón por la cual, se ha transformado en uno de los motivos de consulta más comunes entre las personas mayores quienes se atienden en servicios de atención primaria de salud. Es por esta razón, que el DLC es considerado hoy en día una “epidemia silenciosa” que impacta directamente en la funcionalidad y calidad de vida de las personas mayores con consecuentes costes sanitarios elevados que sobrecargan los sistemas de salud. A este hecho se suma que el origen de este síndrome es multifactorial, con lo cual el diagnóstico es i…
