Pessoas idosas naturalmente sofrem com uma diminuição dos níveis de força, potência e resistência muscular. Reverter essa condição é fundamental para um envelhecimento saudável e com qualidade de vida, de forma que as atividades de vida diárias não sejam prejudicadas. Apesar do exercício físico convencional ser um método eficaz para reverter a diminuição da força, potência e resistência muscular, em alguns casos, devido a diferentes fatores, pessoas idosas possuem dificuldades para sua realização. Neste caso, o exercício de vibração de corpo inteiro surge como um método seguro e eficaz, que requer pouca motivação e tempo para sua realização, sendo uma opção interessante para pessoas idosas que, por algum motivo, não conseguem realizar exercícios convencionais. O exercício de vibração de corpo inteiro pode, ainda, ser utilizado em complemento aos exercícios físicos convencionais, potencializando os resultados observados. Neste sentido, o presente livro tem por objetivo apresentar as possibilidades do exercício de vibração de corpo inteiro para pessoas idosas, visando a melhora da força, potência e resistência muscular.
Writing or managing a scientific book, as it is known today, depends on a series of major activities, such as regrouping researchers, reviewing chapters, informing and exchanging with contributors, and at the very least, motivating them to achieve the objective of publication. The idea of this book arose from many years of work in biomechanics, health disease, and rehabilitation. Through exchanges with authors from several countries, we learned much from each other, and we decided with the publisher to transfer this knowledge to readers interested in the current understanding of the impact of biomechanics in the analysis of movement and its optimization. The main objective is to provide some interesting articles that show the scope of biomechanical analysis and technologies in human behavior tasks. Engineers, researchers, and students from biomedical engineering and health sciences, as well as industrial professionals, can benefit from this compendium of knowledge about biomechanics applied to the human body.
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
This book offers a comprehensive range of principles, methods, techniques and tools to provide the reader with a clear knowledge of the impact of vibration on the human body. The text considers physical, mechanical and biomechanical aspects and is illustrated by key application domains such as sport and medicine.
This book covers a wide scope of biological approaches to such biological phenomena as cell division, motility, collective cell behavior, multicellular structures, morphogenesis, and tumor development. Over the past two decades, biologists have generated large sets of experimental data and discovered a lot of facts that need explanation. This biological boom attracts physicists who believe they can help to develop a theoretical framework in biology and explain complete biological phenomena using basic principles. This is the first book to present recent advances in biophysical studies of the different aspects of cell life. This book presents recent advances in biophysical studies of living cells and gives the impression that a combination of quantitative live cell observations, detailed biochemical and biophysical data, and mathematical modeling are capable to answer many important biological questions and to achieve a more complete understanding of such complex phenomena.
