Valvular disease is the second indication of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after coronary artery disease. Patients suffering valvular disease are addressed to CR after valvular repair, and are usually old. Valvular replacement are the most frequent, and more and more patients being treated by TAVI are addressed to CR. CR takes place on two phases: Fr...

Although it is thought that there is a relationship between neck pain and scapular dysfunction, there are controversial results and no clear information in the literature regarding this issue. This study aimed to investigate the alterations in the 3-Dimensional scapular orientation on patients with non-specific neck pain. Thirty-four patients with ...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Shoulder pain is considered to be the third largest cause of musculoskeletal functional alterations in individuals presenting pain during movement. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this synthesis of evidence was to identify the clinical effectiveness of conservative and surgical treatments reported in Cochrane systematic reviews among...

Resistant training (RT) improves health markers in obesity, but its effects in morbid obesity are unknown. We aimed to determine the effects of a RT-program in preventing/attenuating the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in patients with morbid obesity. A second aim was to report the interindividual variability in terms of improvements in MetS markers and ...

During acute sympathetic stress, the overactivation of β-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs) causes cardiac fibrosis by triggering inflammation and cytokine expression. It is unknown whether exercise training inhibits acute β-AR overactivation-induced cytokine expression and cardiac injury. Here, we report that running exercise inhibited cardiac fibrosis ...

Most protocols intended to stimulate cardiovascular training in mice use electrical shocks that cause psychological stress and interfere with running performance. The aim of this study was to: 1) demonstrate the feasibility of a two-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program without the use of electric shocks in mice and 2) show that HIIT...
ABSTRACT Introduction Physical and motor imagery training is known to induce positive results in the quality of life of patients with neurodegenerative diseases. However, it is not known which effects are achievable when both types of training are combined. Objective This study aimed to investigate the effects of a combination of physical and image...

Veterans represent a unique population of older adults as they are more likely to self-report disability and be overweight or obese compared to the general population. We sought to compare changes in mobility function across the obesity spectrum in older Veterans participating in six-months of Gerofit, a clinical exercise program. 270 Veterans comp...
