Objective: The objective of the present study was to analyze the effects of 10 weeks of resistance training (RT) and subsequent 4 weeks of detraining on physical function, body composition, and biochemical markers in aging adults.
Methods: The study sample was selected by convenience and consisted of 12 women with a mean age of 58 ± 7 years. Physical function [Latin-American Group of Development for Maturity (GDLAM) general index], body composition, total and fractional cholesterol, triglycerides, and glycemia were assessed before and after RT (10 weeks) and detraining (4 weeks).
Background: New protocols are constantly being tested in the search for complete disinfection of root canals without the undesirable effects of sodium hypochlorite. This study evaluated the antimicrobial effect of ozonated water and photodynamic therapy (PDT) with sonic activation in root canals infected with .
Material And Methods: Seventy single-rooted canals of human teeth were prepared and contaminated with for 21 days.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the effectiveness of a smartphone app for measuring heart rate variability (HRV) by comparing its results with those from a standard electrocardiogram (ECG).
- Fifteen healthy adults participated in the study, where both devices recorded R-R intervals (RRi) during different postures, showing nearly perfect correlation for the data collected.
- The findings indicated that the smartphone app is a valid tool for assessing HRV, with slight measurement biases, demonstrating its potential for non-invasive cardiac monitoring.
The aim of this study was to carry out a literature review on the overall benefits of resistance training (RT) after stroke and undertake a critical analysis of the resistance exercise programs surveyed (rest interval between sets and exercises, number of sets, number of repetitions, intensity, duration of training, and weekly frequency). To obtain articles for the review, we searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro). Inclusion criteria were considered using the PICO (population, intervention, control/comparison, and outcome variables) model.
