El objetivo era examinar los efectos del programa de entrenamiento de fuerza (STP) y el programa de entrenamiento de componentes múltiples (MTP) en los estados de ánimo en ancianos físicamente activos. Treinta ancianos brasileños (mujeres = 21; hombres = 9) con edades comprendidas entre 65 y 75 años (66.9±4.1) con un índice de masa corporal (IMC) que varía de 25.6 a 31.0 kg/m2 (28.3±1.2), se inscribieron para la investigación. Los ancianos fueron asignados aleatoriamente en dos grupos: Programa de entrenamiento de fuerza (STP; edad = 66.7±4.4 años, IMC = 28.2±1.3 kg/m2) y Programa de componentes múltiples (MTP; edad = 67.1±3.9 años, IMC = 28.5±1,0 kg/m2). El grupo STP realizó tres sesiones de 1 hora por semana, trabajando en un rango de 3 series, 8-10 repeticiones y 2 minutos de recuperación entre series y ejercicios. El grupo MTP realizó dos tipos diferentes de sesiones de ejercicio: a) 50 minutos de Zumba©, seguidos de 5-10 minutos de ejercicios de estiramiento dinámico; b) 40 minutos de ejercicios dinámicos y estáticos de peso corporal, así como movimientos de agilidad y equilibrio. El perfil de estados de ánimo (POMS) se aplicó para evaluar el estado de ánimo al inicio y después de la intervención. No se mostró interacción significativa o efecto principal para el grupo y el tiempo para seis factores del POMS. Sin embargo, la inferencia basada en la magnitud mostró que MTP es probablemente beneficioso para reducir la fatiga. Por otro lado, MTP es posiblemente perjudicial para aumentar la confusión y reducir el vigor en comparación con STP. En términos prácticos, podemos concluir que las personas mayores físicamente activas parecen lograr una adaptación en las respuestas del estado de ánimo, minimizando los efectos adicionales de STP y MTP. The purpose was to examine the effects of strength training program (STP) and multi-component training program (MTP) on mood states in physically active elderly. Thirty Brazilian elderly (female=21; male=9) aged between 65 and 75 years (66.9±4.1) with Body Mass Index (BMI) ranging from 25.6 to 31.0 kg/m2 (28.3±1.2), were enrolled for research. The elderly were randomly assigned into two groups: Strength Training Program (STP; age=66.7±4.4 years, BMI=28.2±1.3 kg/m2) and Multi-Component Program (MTP; age=67.1±3.9 years, BMI=28.5±1.0 kg/m2). STP group performed three 1-hour sessions per week, working at a range of 3 sets, 8-10 repetitions, and 2-minute recovery between sets and exercises. MTP group performed two different types of exercise sessions: a) 50 minutes of Zumba©, followed by 5-10 minutes of dynamic stretching exercises; b) 40 minutes of body-weight dynamic and static exercises, as well as agility and balance movements. The Profile of Mood States (POMS) was applied to assess mood at baseline and post-intervention. No significant interaction or main effect for group and time was showed for six factors of the POMS. However, the magnitude-based inference showed that MTP is likely beneficial to reduce fatigue. On the other hand, MTP is possibly harmful to increase confusion and to reduce vigor when compared to STP. In practical terms, we can conclude that older people physically active seems to attain an adaptation in mood responses minimizing the additional effects of STP and MTP. O objetivo foi examinar os efeitos do programa de treinamento de força (STP) e do programa de treinamento com múltiplos componentes (MTP) nos estados de humor em idosos fisicamente ativos. Trinta idosos brasileiros (sexo feminino = 21; sexo masculino = 9) com idade entre 65 e 75 anos (66,9 ± 4,1) com índice de massa corporal (IMC) variando de 25,6 a 31,0 kg/m2 (28,3 ± 1,2) foram incluídos na pesquisa. Os idosos foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos: Programa de Treinamento de Força (STP; idade = 66,7 ± 4,4 anos, IMC = 28,2 ± 1,3 kg/m2) e Programa Multi-Componente (TMF; idade = 67,1 ± 3,9 anos, IMC = 28,5) 1,0 kg/m2). O grupo STP realizou três sessões de 1 hora por semana, trabalhando em uma série de 3 séries, 8 a 10 repetições e recuperação de 2 minutos entre séries e exercícios. O grupo MTP realizou dois tipos diferentes de sessões de exercícios: a) 50 minutos de Zumba©, seguidos de 5 a 10 minutos de exercícios dinâmicos de alongamento; b) 40 minutos de exercícios estáticos e dinâmicos de peso corporal, bem como movimentos de agilidade e equilíbrio. O perfil dos estados de humor (POMS) foi aplicado para avaliar o humor na linha de base e pós-intervenção. Nenhuma interação significativa ou efeito principal para o grupo e o tempo foi demonstrado para seis fatores do POMS. No entanto, a inferência baseada em magnitude mostrou que a MTP é provavelmente benéfica para reduzir a fadiga. Por outro lado, o MTP é possivelmente prejudicial para aumentar a confusão e reduzir o vigor quando comparado ao STP. Em termos práticos, podemos concluir que as pessoas idosas fisicamente ativas parecem atingir uma adaptação nas respostas de humor, minimizando os efeitos adicionais do STP e MTP.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of plyometric training on spinal and supraspinal motor control in healthy active females. Methods: A 2 (Group) x 2 (Session) x 2 (Stance) mixed model design was used for homosynaptic depression (HD) and recurrent inhibition (RI) data. A 2 (Group) x 2 (Session) mixed model design was used for H:M ratios and V-waves (V:M ratios) data. Thirty-one participants were recruited to participate in the study. Participants participated in either the training or control group for 6-weeks. All participants were measured pre- and post-intervention on H:M ratios, HD, RI, and V-waves. Results: There were no statistically significant interactions for any of the dependent variables (p > 0.05). There was a session main effect for RI (p = 0.01) as well as a group main effect (p = 0.01) and a stance main effect (p < 0.01) for HD. Conclusions: Performing plyometric training does not modulate the spinal or supraspinal motor control based on the findings of this study. Plyometric training is not the only component that should be used in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Prevention Programs to alter motor control. A more challenging and higher impact plyometric exercises are suggested to allow more demand on the neural drive of the physically active participants.

Introduction With the global aging process intensified, the demand for end-of-life care has surged, especially in China. However, its development is restricted. Understanding the life and death attitude among the elderly and its formation process, and clarifying their needs, are so important to promote social popularization of end-of-life care. Methodology This qualitative study included 20 elderly residents in Nan and Shuangbei Communities, Chongqing City, People’s Republic of China. Data were collected through semistructured in-depth individual interviews and processed by thematic analysis method. Results Three themes and eight subthemes were identified: Characteristics of formation process (passive thinking, closed and single), life-and-death attitude (cherish and enjoy life, quality of life priority, let death take its course) and expectations of end-of-life care (preferences, basic needs, good death). Discussion Life-and-death attitude and end-of-life care expectations of the elderly support the development and delivery of end-of-life care. Furthermore, the individual-family-hospital linkage discussion channel needs to be further explored.

Main Effect

Performing isometric strength training (IST) can enhance various sports performance. This study compared the effects of including IST on sprint kayaking performance as compared to traditional strength training. Twenty sprint kayaking athletes (age 22 ± 4 year, stature 1.71 ± 0.09 m, body mass 72.0 ± 11.4 kg) performed a 200-m kayak ergometer time trial (200mTT), isometric squat (IsoSqT), isometric bench press (IsoPress) and isometric prone bench pull (IsoPull) during the pre- and post-tests. Athletes were randomly assigned to either traditional strength training (TRAD) or IST group. Both groups performed a similar strength training program twice a week for six weeks. However, half the volume for squat, bench press and prone bench pull were replaced by IsoSqT, IsoPress and IsoPull, respectively, for the IST group. IsoSqT was performed at 90° knee angle, while IsoPress and IsoPull were performed at 90° and 120° elbow angles, respectively. Each isometric contraction was performed with maximum intensity and sustained for three seconds. A significant main time effect was observed for 200mTT (p < 0.001, ƞ2p = 0.68) and all isometric strength measures (p = 0.001–0.032, ƞ2p = 0.24–0.76) except rate of force development at 0–90 ms (RFD90) obtained from IsoSqT120 and IsoPress90. A group main effect was observed in RFD90 obtained from IsoSqT120 and IsoPull120 (p = 0.003–0.004, ƞ2p = 0.37–0.39). Time x Group interaction was observed for 200mTT (p = 0.027, ƞ2p = 0.68), peak force obtained from IsoSqT90, IsoPress90, and IsoPull120 (p = 0.004–0.006, ƞ2p = 0.36–0.38) and RFD90 obtained from IsoSqT120 and IsoPull120 (p = 0.012–0.015, ƞ2p = 0.28–0.30). Inclusion of IST resulted in greater improvement for sprint kayaking and strength performances then TRAD alone.

Abstract Background This study focuses on the self-perception of the voice in the elderly as assessed by the Voice-Related Quality of Life (V-RQOL) questionnaire. This work aimed to compare differences in the voice-related quality of life outcomes between (1) elderly with and without voice disorders, (2) female and male elderly with voice disorders, and (3) different types of voice disorders, and to explore the correlation between the V-RQOL and perceptual analysis done by the clinician. Forty-three dysphonic and 44 non-dysphonic elderly filled out the Voice-Related Quality of Life (V-RQOL) protocol that analyzes the impact of dysphonia on life quality. Vocal perceptual assessment of each subject with dysphonia was made by three voice therapists, followed by a flexible nasofibrolaryngoscope. Results A significant statistical difference was found between the means of total V-RQOL scores and its subdomains for each group (dysphonic and non-dysphonic). No significant differences were found between male and female elderly with dysphonia. The statistical analysis showed a significant correlation with the vocal assessment made by the clinicians and the V-RQOL self-assessment made by the subjects. Conclusions This study provides valuable information regarding the risk factors that contribute to vocal quality in the elderly population. Our results revealed that different types of voice disorders are common among the elderly population with significant negative effects on quality of life. It was observed that the poorest score on the V-RQOL was for functional voice disorders, followed by neoplastic lesions, whereas MAPLs had the best score on the V-RQOL.
