Functional reserve in functionally independent elderly persons: a calculation of gait speed and physiological cost
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aim: To analyze the behavior of functional reserve percentage (% FR) by gender in functional elderly persons, considering speed and the physiological cost of gait. Methods: A total of 53 self-reliant elderly persons, 40 of whom were women (age 69.4 ± 4.7 years old; BMI 31.2 ± 4.3 kg/m2) and 13 of whom were men (age 70.8 ± 7.2 years old; BMI 28.7 ± 3.5 kg/m2) participated in an observational and cross-sectional study. Participants were requested to walk at comfortable (CG) and maximum gait (MG). Both modalities were performed on a 70 meter elliptical circuit over three minutes. Distance and working heart rate were recorded for the corresponding calculation of average gait speed (AGS), Palabras claves: Actividades Cotidianas; Aptitud Física; Marcha; Caracteres Sexuales; Envejecimiento. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1809-98232016019.150136
