Comparison of Static Postural Stability in Exercising and Non-Exercising Women During the Perinatal Period
BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to determine whether women who exercised during and after pregnancy had better static postural stability compared to those who did not exercise. MATERIAL AND METHODS Posturographic tests were performed in 31 women at 34-39 weeks gestation, and again at 6-10 weeks postpartum. The center of pressure mean velocity (with directional subcomponents) and sway ...
متن کاملInterstitial IGF-I in exercising skeletal muscle in women.
OBJECTIVE To study interstitial IGF-I concentrations in resting and exercising skeletal muscle in relation to the circulating components of the IGF-IGF binding protein (IGFBP) system. DESIGN AND METHODS Seven women performed endurance exercise with 1 leg (Ex-leg) for 1 h. The resting leg (Rest-leg) served as a control. IGF-I was determined in microdialysate (MD) and was compared with veno-art...

Eighteen patients with coronary artery disease were divided into two groups according to whether their blood pressure decreased (eight, group 1) or increased (10, group 2) in response to treadmill exercise testing. Age and the extent and distribution of coronary artery disease were similar in the two groups. At rest, blood pressure, pulmonary artery wedge pressure, cardiac index, forearm vascul...
متن کاملMuscle strength in diabetics compared to non-diabetic elderly subjects: A cross sectional and case-control study
Background: With the growing population of the elderly, the prevalence of disabilities and chronic diseases will also likely increase. Muscle weakness leads to low amounts of physical activity in elderly diabetic patients and makes them susceptible to falls. In this study, we aimed to compare the muscle strength between diabetic and non-diabetic elderly individuals. Methods: The present study ...
متن کاملElderly women with metabolic syndrome present higher cardiovascular risk and lower relative muscle strength
OBJECTIVE To compare the metabolic, anthropometric, arterial blood pressure, and muscle strength parameters of elderly women with and without metabolic syndrome. METHODS A case-control study with 27 (67.3 ± 4.8 years of age, 31.0 ± 5.0 kg/m²) elderly women with metabolic syndrome and 33 (68.8 ± 5.6 years of age, 27.2 ± 5.3 kg/m²) sedentary control elderly women. They were submitted to an eval...
