Objetivos: Verificar o comportamento da força muscular de extensores e flexores do tronco conforme a idade e o nível de atividade física, além de comparar jovens inativas vs. idosas ativas sobre a força muscular. Métodos: Participaram da pesquisa 28 jovens e 30 idosas inativas fisicamente, as quais posteriormente se tornaram ativas, com a inclusão...

Objectives: To evaluate trunk extensors and flexors muscle strength according to age and physical activity level, in addition to comparing inactive young women with active older women on maximal trunk strength. Methods: Twenty-eight young and thirty older women physically inactive participated in the research. They became active later, with the inc...

A new technology (BlazePod™) that measures response time (RT) is currently on the market and has been used by strength and conditioning professionals. Nevertheless, to trust in the measurement, before the use of a new device to measure any outcome in the research or clinical setting, a reliability analysis of its measurement must be established (Ko...

Background: Negative functionality changes are among the effects of aging. The multicomponent training performed on conventional machines or with new implements and features directed to daily activities is strongly recommended among attenuation strategies. However, the efficiency of both types of training is not yet clear in the current literature...

RESUMO: Este estudo verificou a influência da adição de exercícios específicos do core no treinamento funcional sobre manifestações rápidas de força muscular (taxa de desenvolvimento de força, potência muscular e capacidade de salto vertical) em indivíduos jovens saudáveis. Participaram da pesquisa 57 adultos jovens, submetidos a dez semanas de int...

AIM: To compare changes after 12 weeks of functional and traditional training in physical fitness related to daily activities in physically active elderly women. METHODS: 30 elderly women were randomized into two groups: 1) Functional Training (FT - n= 15, 65.12 ± 4.49 years) and 2) and Traditional Training (TT - n = 15, 64.87 ± 3.25 years). For th...

Objective. The aim of this study was to analyze the reproducibility of a protocol using the maximal isometric strength test of the trunk in elderly women aged above 60 years, without low back pain. Methods. Twenty-one physically inactive elderly women, who had not engaged in any activity or exercise program in the past three months, participated in...

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o efeito do treinamento funcional sobre a flexibilidade, equilíbrio, capacidade cardiorrespiratória e força muscular em idosas. A amostra foi dividida em Grupo Funcional-GF (n=16, 67,1±3,7 anos) e Grupo Convencional-GC (n=14; 63,9±4,7 anos). Avaliou-se o índice de massa corporal e a relação cintura/quadr...
