Better Executive Function Is Associated With Faster On-Transition Aerobic Metabolism Among Older Adults.

The present study aimed to examine relationships between executive function (EF) and variables of aerobic fitness. Participants were 32 healthy older adults ( age = 65.1,  = 6.

The effect of age and training status on oxygen uptake kinetics in women.

We examined the effect of age and training status on the oxygen uptake (V˙ O) kinetics of untrained and recreationally trained women. Young (20-35yr), middle-age (40-55yr) and older (58-71yr) recreationally trained (YTR, n = 10; MTR, n = 12; OTR, n = 9) and untrained (YUT, n = 12; MUT, n = 10; OUT, n = 9) women participated in this crossectional study. Breath-by-breath V˙ O and near-infrared-spectroscopy-derived (NIRS) muscle deoxygenation [HHb] were monitored continuously during increasing and constant walking exercises.
