Among the numerous possibilities of physical exercise, it has been recommended that stretching routines be incorporated into training programs focused on the elderly population and that these be preferentially performed on the same day of strength or aerobic training. However, studies have shown that static stretching exercises can acutely impair muscle strength production. And although t…
Objective: to analyze the effect of age and of different intensities (80% and 100% of 15 RM) on a) a number of repetitions in three sets on the leg press and elbow flexion, b) volume in three sets in exercises leg press and elbow flexion, c) rate of force development (RFD and peak RFD) d) maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVC). Materials and Method: Participants of this study will …
The aging process causes changes in the musculoskeletal system, leading to sarcopenia and resulting decreases in muscle strength. However, weight training is considered a great strategy in promoting and maintaining health and improves different expressions muscle strength. Among the variables TP, intensity and movement velocity (MV) have an important role in the different responses of mus…

With the declining of muscular strength and flexibility resulting from the aging process, older people are more likely to fall. Studies have reported that fear of falling is also a factor that contributes to a higher prevalence to fall in this population. However, no studies investigating a possible relation between the three factors were found. The aim of this study is to analyze the rel…
