Effect of 12-week rehearsal on cardiorespiratory fitness and body composition in Brazilian samba dancers
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2023AO0321
Highlights Samba rehearsals can increase cardiorespiratory function in dancers up to 19% of VO2max. Samba rehearsals can decrease up to 1.9kg of fat mass and increase 1.3kg of lean body mass. In a samba rehearsal session, dancers spend 50% of their time at an intensity above 83% of the maximum. ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the effect of 12 weeks of rehearsals on cardiorespiratory parameters and body composition in Brazilian samba dancers belonging to a first-league samba school. Methods: Twenty-six women […]

Physiological responses during walking in men and women with intermittent claudication
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2023AO0120
Highlights There were no differences in the physiological responses to walking between men and women with intermittent claudication. Sex per se is not a factor that demands changes in walking prescription for patients with intermittent claudication. ABSTRACT Objective: Peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak), anaerobic threshold, walking economy, and cardiovascular responses during walking are used to guide and monitor walking training in patients with peripheral artery disease and intermittent claudication. Women with peripheral artery disease and intermittent claudication present greater impairments than […]

Effects of resistance training on metabolic and cardiovascular responses to a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test in Parkinson`s disease
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2021AO5940
ABSTRACT: Objective: To evaluate the effects of resistance training on metabolic and cardiovascular responses during maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Methods: Twenty-four patients with Parkinson’s disease (modified Hoehn and Yahr stages 2 to 3) were randomly assigned to one of two groups: Control or Resistance Training. Patients in the Resistance Training Group completed an exercise program consisting of five resistance exercises (two to four sets of six to 12 repetitions maximum per set) twice a week. […]

Physiological profile of adult male long-distance trail runners: variations according to competitive level (national or regional)
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2020AO5256
ABSTRACT Objective To describe and identify the importance of different indicators of the aerobic and anaerobic fitness of male ultra-trail runners according to their level of participation (regional or national). Methods Forty-four male ultra-trail runners were assessed (36.5±7.2 years). They were classified as regional (n=25) and national (n=19). Wingate test was used to assess the anaerobic pathway. A progressive incremental running test was performed and ventilatory thresholds registered, in parallel to heart rate and lactate concentration at the end of […]
