Biomechanical, physiological and anthropometrical predictors of performance in recreational runners
(2024) [Journal article]Background The maximal running speed (VMAX) determined on a graded treadmill test is well-recognized as a running performance predictor. However, few studies have assessed the variables that predict VMAX in recreationally ... -
Can Samba and Forró Brazilian rhythmic dance be more effective than walking in improving functional mobility and spatiotemporal gait parameters in patients with Parkinson’s disease?
(2020) [Journal article]Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) causes motor and nonmotor disorders in patients. Unlike aerobic training, potential adaptations from the practice of dance are less understood in PD, particularly compared with better ... -
Comparação do consumo energético e de aspectos mecânicos da caminhada de amputados transfigurais que utilizam prótese com microprocessador ou convencional : uma revisão
(2011) [Journal article]A locomoção humana é o resultado de torques advindos de forças externas e internas. É um movimento complexo, cuja otimização minimiza o dispêndio energético. Existem restrições estruturais, como a amputação que influenciam ... -
Effects of nordic walking on gait symmetry in mild Parkinson’s Disease
(2019) [Journal article]Individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) have gait asymmetries, and exercise therapy may reduce the differences between more and less affected limbs. The Nordic walking (NW) training may contribute to reducing the asymmetry ... -
Estruturas elásticas e fadiga muscular
(2013) [Journal article]A fadiga muscular pode ser definida pela incapacidade de manter certa tarefa ao longo do tempo; os mecanismos neuromusculares e metabólicos envolvidos na contração muscular estão diretamente associados a esse fenômeno. ... -
Postural adjustments and biomechanics during gait initiation and obstacle negotiation: a cmparison between akinetic-rigid and hyperkinetic Parkinson’s disease
(2021) [Journal article]Individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) exhibit different combinations of motor symptoms. The most frequent subtypes are akinetic-rigid (AK-R) and hyperkinetic (HYP). Motor symptoms, such as rigidity and bradykinesia, ... -
The entrainment frequency of cardiolocomotor synchronization in long-distance race emerges spontaneously at the step frequency
(2021) [Journal article]In forced conditions, where the heart rate and step frequency have been matched, cardiolocomotor synchronization (CLS) has been recognized. However, knowledge about the occurrence of CLS and its triggers in sports gesture ... -
Thermographic evaluation of hind paw skin temperature and functional recovery of locomotion after sciatic nerve crush in rats
(2011) [Journal article]INTRODUCTION: Peripheral nerves are often damaged by direct mechanical injury, diseases, and tumors. The peripheral nerve injuries that result from these conditions can lead to a partial or complete loss of motor, sensory, ... -
Velocidade autosselecionada e ideal da caminhada de amputados transfemorais : solo e esteira
(2016) [Journal article]Introdução: A velocidade de progressão é, em geral, determinada em pesquisas na área da locomoção. Objetivo: Comparar as medidas de velocidade autosselecionada no solo, na esteira rolante e a velocidade ideal estimada pelo ...
