Endurance performance in masters athletesEuropean Review of Aging and Physical Activity - - 2008
Peter Reaburn, Ben J. Dascombe
AbstractMasters athletes are typically older than 35 years of age and
systematically train for, and compete in, organized forms of sport specifically
designed for older adults. They are motivated to participate in masters sport
for a wide variety of reasons. Age-related declines in endurance performance are
observed across the endurance sports of running, orienteering, rowing, and
swimming. These ... hiện toàn bộ
A comparison of age difference reaction to computer interfaceEuropean Review of Aging and Physical Activity - - 2010
Chadi Fouad Riman, Husam Ghusn, Éric Monacelli
Abstract In this work, a simplified interface system for education of people
with disabilities is presented. This platform allows the control of different
tools (PC games, robot, and electric wheelchair) using different interfaces
(mouse, joysticks, etc.). This interface system can be automatically
reconfigured to match user’s ability, and it is operated locally or remotely
through the internet. S... hiện toàn bộ
A bio-psycho-social model of successful aging as shown through the variable “physical activity”European Review of Aging and Physical Activity - Tập 5 - Trang 79-87 - 2008
Martina Kanning, Wolfgang Schlicht
In this article, we present and explain a bio-psycho-social model of successful
aging with subjective well-being as a criterion of a successful aging process.
We focus on physical activity because it is a crucial behavior. Physical
activity can support successful aging in two different ways: first, due to its
physiological and cognitive effects, and Second, an older person can enhance
subjective w... hiện toàn bộ
Recommendations for assessing motor performance in individuals with dementia: suggestions of an expert panel – a qualitative approachEuropean Review of Aging and Physical Activity - Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 1-14 - 2019
Trautwein, Sandra, Barisch-Fritz, Bettina, Scharpf, Andrea, Bossers, Willem, Meinzer, Marcus, Steib, Simon, Stein, Thorsten, Bös, Klaus, Stahn, Alexander, Niessner, Claudia, Altmann, Stefan, Wittelsberger, Rita, Woll, Alexander
Recommendations for assessing motor performance in individuals with dementia
(IWD) are rare, and most existing assessment tools previously applied in IWD
were initially developed for healthy older adults. However, IWD and their
healthy counterparts differ in motor and cognitive capabilities, which needs to
be considered when designing studies for this population. This article aims to
give recommen... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of vibration therapy on muscle mass, muscle strength and physical function in older adults with sarcopenia: a systematic review and meta-analysisEuropean Review of Aging and Physical Activity - Tập 17 Số 1 - 2020
Shuang Wu, Hongting Ning, Su-Mei Xiao, Mingyue Hu, Xinyin Wu, Hong‐Wen Deng, Hui Feng
Abstract Background Sarcopenia, a progressive loss of muscle mass and function
with advancing age, is a prevalent condition among older adults. As most older
people are too frail to do intensive exercise and vibration therapy has low risk
and ease of participation, it may be more readily accepted by elderly
individuals. However, it remains unclear whether vibration therapy would be
effective among... hiện toàn bộ
Is whole-body vibration beneficial for seniors?European Review of Aging and Physical Activity - Tập 9 - Trang 51-62 - 2012
C. Lachance, P. Weir, K. Kenno, S. Horton
Normal aging processes result in losses of functional flexibility and muscular
strength, which increase seniors’ fall risk and dependence on others. A
relatively new intervention to reduce and/or reverse the adverse effects of
aging is whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise. The purpose of this article is to
review the established effects of WBV exercise exclusively with the aging
population. A syste... hiện toàn bộ
