This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the muscular strength of the lower extremity in a load side and the characteristics of center of foot pressure (COP) during landing after crossover stepping in the elderly. The study population comprised 8 elderly subjects (average age, 75.8+/-8.0 years) and 9 young individuals (average age, 21.6+/-2.5 years). Using a separation-type forc...

Sport training has specific effects in the human organism's physiological and metabolic systems. A continuous workout produces adaptations in these systems, and improves development, stability and increased effectiveness in motor habit execution, achieved through a muscular strength increase. This type of evaluation determines the characteristics of Force-Velocity by means of Dynamometry and El...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that disrupts the functionality and quality of life in persons affected by the disease. Motor symptoms associated with PD include resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, diminished postural stability and decreased muscular strength [3]. The combination of aging, degenerative effects of the disease, and reduced physical activity often manif...
