Twice-weekly exercise training reduces oxidative stress and proinflammatory cytokine levels in elder women

Motriz (Online); 25 (3), 2019
Aim: Reactive oxygen species and high concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines are related to diseases that are often triggered during the aging process. This study aimed to investigate the effect of moderate-intensity physical exercise, twice a week, on oxidative stress and inflammation biomarkers. ...

Is a short-stage protocol during an incremental exercise test reliable for heart rate variability threshold analysis?

Motriz (Online); 25 (3), 2019
Aim: Heart rate variability threshold (HRVT) is a valid method to determine parasympathetic depression during an incremental exercise test (IET). However, HRVT is usually assessed using the last 60s of each 180s stage of an IET, resulting in longer and demotivating tests. This study aimed to evaluate th...
