Short-duration dynamic power training with elastic bands combined with endurance training: a promising approach to hypertension management in older adults.

Previous studies have investigated the effects of different combined training programs involving traditional resistance training and aerobic exercise on hemodynamic parameters and arterial stiffness in older adults. However, little is known about the impact of power training combined with endurance training on these variables in hypertensive older adults. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of dynamic power training with elastic bands combined with endurance training on arterial stiffness and hemodynamic parameters in hypertensive older adults.

Effects of combined muscle power and endurance training with different volumes on functional and hemodynamic parameters in previously trained older adults.

Background: To promote optimal neuromuscular and cardiovascular gains in older adults, it seems crucial to investigate the effects of different combined training volumes in this population. Thus, the present study aimed to compare the effects of combined muscle power training (MPT) and endurance training (ET) with different volumes on functional and hemodynamic parameters in previously trained older adults.

Methods: Twenty-five older adults were randomly assigned to either the lower-volume group (LVG; n = 13) or the higher-volume group (HVG; n = 12).

Acute effects of aerobic exercise on the blood pressure of patients after coronary artery bypass grafting.

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting a frequent surgical procedure to treat coronary heart disease, uses the patient's own veins or arteries to bypass narrowed areas and restore blood flow to heart muscle. Cardiac rehabilitation follows this procedure and includes psychological and nutritional support along with the regular practice of physical exercises.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of the aerobic exercise on the blood pressure of patients after coronary artery bypass grafting.

Acute Response to Aerobic Exercise on Autonomic Cardiac Control of Patients in Phase III of a Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Program Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the acute response to aerobic exercise on autonomic cardiac control of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods: The study sample consisted of eight patients (age: 58.6±7.

Novel Combined Training Approach Improves Sleep Quality but Does Not Change Body Composition in Healthy Elderly Women: A Preliminary Study.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a novel combined training protocol on sleep quality and body composition of healthy elderly women. The study sample consisted of 8 sedentary elderly individuals with mean (±SD) of 67 (±8) years of age, 96.0 (±7.
