Objective To investigate the effects of a 16-week concurrent exercise regimen [resistance
exercise (RE)+ functional exercise (FE)] in combination with, or without, a leucine-enriched …

Background: Although patients receiving hemodialysis are more likely to develop metabolic
disorders and muscle weakness at an earlier stage than healthy individuals, many older …

Aging and increased vulnerability define the clinical condition of frailty. However, while the
cervical function is recognized as a determinant of balance and walking performance, no …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Dyspnea and poorer physical performance are conditions that
may be related and be present among the elderly. However, few studies have evaluated …

The aim of the present study was to compare the neuromuscular, morphological, and
functional responses to a high-velocity resistance training (HVRT) program between three …

Background Mobility limitations (eg, using wheelchair) have been closely linked to
diminished functional independence and quality of life in older adults. The regulation of …

Limited work has evaluated how leg press strength (LPS), relative to body mass (ie, rLPS),
affects heart rate (HR) responses during activities of daily living. Such information would …

Objective To identify attributes targeted by rehabilitative treatment within which
improvements lead to short-and long-term changes in mobility. Maintaining independence in …

Background Aging is associated with a progressive difficulty to maintain ion regulation,
which might impair the capacity for muscle contraction. Thus, the aim of this study was to …

Objective To investigate if clinically observable aberrant lumbopelvic movements are
associated with physical function at 12-month follow-up in older adults with chronic low back …
