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, orienteer...... 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 ...... 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...... 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
