Background Physical exercise is crucial in type 2 diabetes management (T2D), and training in the aquatic environment seems to be a promising alternative due to its physical properties and metabolic, functional, cardiovascular, and neuromuscular benefits. Research on combined training in aquatic and dry-land training environments is scarce, especial...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of adherence to mat Pilates training on lower and upper body strength and flexibility in breast cancer survivors. Breast cancer survivors ( ≥ 40 years) with cancer stages 0–III undergoing hormone therapy participated in this study. For this secondary investigation only the intervention group was a...

Background Resistance training has proven to be an excellent method for counteracting aging physical dysfunctions. However, its application in the liquid environment is not yet fully elucidated.AimTo investigate the effects of water-based resistance training (WBRT) with the concentric phase performed as fast as possible, compared to conventional re...

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of 24 weeks of Mat Pilates in breast cancer survivors (BCS) undergoing hormone therapy on lower and upper body muscle strength parameters and flexibility. Materials and methods: Forty-three BCS (≥40 years) with confirmed breast cancer stage 0-III undergoing hormone therapy were included. Participants were randomi...

Mat Pilates has become an attractive alternative exercise among older women, however, despite knowing the importance of regular exercise, interrupting training is a common issue in this population. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of 6-weeks of detraining after a period of 12-weeks of training with Mat Pilates on the functio...

Considerando a importância da inserção de pessoas com deficiência no esporte, objetivamos identificar as barreiras e os facilitadores para a prática esportiva de pessoas com deficiência inseridas nos projetos de extensão da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (Brasil). Para determinar as barreiras e os facilitadores foi aplicado um questionário...

BACKGROUND: Anticancer treatment gives rise to adverse effects such as increased pain and changes to body weight and menstrual cycles, with negative effects on activities of daily living. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effect of food orientation combined with supervised (face-to-face, FF) versus home-based (HB) aerobic training on lifestyle (food consu...

O Hatha Yoga consiste em posturas psicofísicas junto com o controle da respiração de uma maneira consciente, e parece promover vários benefícios físicos e psíquicos. Objetivo: avaliar o efeito de uma intervenção de 16 semanas com Hatha Yoga nos níveis de ansiedade e depressão em estudantes universitários. Métodos: Participaram deste estudo 17 indiv...

Introduction: Breast cancer and its treatments lead to several physical and psychological repercussions in the short and long term. Furthermore, breast cancer survivors (BCS) tend to present sedentary behavior, which worsens the aforementioned breast cancer treatment side effects. Physical exercise has been demonstrated to be effective for improvin...

Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze the acute effects of Heart Rate (HR) and Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) for 21 of 34 original Mat Pilates (MP) exercises, to estimate maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max), and energy expenditure (EE) of a MP session. Methods: Ten participants volunteered (26.30 ± 3.98 yrs) to measure the intensity of...

Purpose This study investigated the effect of 12 weeks of mat Pilates intervention (60 min sessions, three times per week) on lower limb rate of force development (RFD) parameters (absolute and relative values and contractile impulse) in physically active and overweight elderly women. Methods Fourteen elderly women (age 62 ± 3 years) participated...

Although hip muscles are related to activities of daily living (ADLs) in older adults, there is a lack of evidence concerning the extensor-flexor hip torque-angle. A shift of the torque-angle relationship is caused by the aging process (increasing or reducing the range of motion) affecting the force production in a given muscular length during ADLs...

INTRODUÇÃO: Com o envelhecimento os processos de perda da capacidade de produção de força muscular (i.e., máxima e explosiva) causam redução da independência do idoso em desempenhar suas tarefas funcionais. OBJETIVO: Comparar e correlacionar a capacidade de produção de torque muscular e a taxa de desenvolvimento de força (TDF) com a capacidade func...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of Mat Pilates on functional capacity (FC) of elderly women before and after six weeks of intervention. Eighteen women aged 62.28 (± 2.34) participated in the study. Timed Up and Go test, Timed Up Stairs, Timed Down Stairs, 30-s Chair Stand, Chair Sit-and-Reach and Back Scratch tests were assessed. Th...

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar possíveis barreiras e facilitadores para prática desportiva em um grupo de pessoas com deficiência inseridos nos projetos de extensão da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina- UFSC. Participaram da pesquisa 19 sujeitos, 17 homens e duas mulheres com deficiência motora e sensorial. Os participantes responderam...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate on changes in maximal force [one repetition maximum (1RM)] and maximal contractile [rate of force development (RFD)] evoked by nonlinear periodization strength training in elderly people. METHODS: Fifteen untrained healthy subjects (10 women = 69.07 ± 13.27 kg, 43.42 ± 8.03 %BF, 158.9 ± 6.78 cm, and...

INTRODUÇÃO Os músculos flexores e extensores do quadril exercem função importante na marcha, corrida e no movimento de levantar-se da posição sentada [1]. Estas funções são afetadas com o envelhecimento, levando à diminuição da independência para realizar atividades da vida diária (AVDs), as quais podem ser avaliadas por testes de capacidade Funcio...
