Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing Mobility in Older Adults: The UAB Study of Aging Life-Space Assessment
Claire Peel,Patricia Sawyer Baker,David L. Roth,Cynthia J. Brown,Eric V. Bodner,Richard M. Allman +5 more
TL;DR: The LSA scores are associated with a person's physical capacity and other factors that may limit mobility and can be used in combination with other tests and measures to generate clinical hypotheses to explain mobility deficits and to plan appropriate interventions to address these deficits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen consumption using the K2 telemetry system and a metabolic cart
Claire Peel,Carolyn Utsey +1 more
TL;DR: Comparison of measurements of oxygen consumption, ventilation, and respiratory rate between a relatively new portable, telemetry system (K2) and a system that has been shown to be valid and reliable concluded that the lower VO2 values obtained with the K2 system were attributed to the method of collecting and analyzing expired air, rather than to the methods of calculating VO2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular responses to voluntary and nonvoluntary static exercise in humans.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the increases in CO, HR, SV, MAP, and PVR during 5 min of static contractions can be elicited without any contribution from a central neural mechanism (central command), however, central command could still have an important role during voluntary static exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leisure-time physical activity and health-care utilization in older adults.
TL;DR: It is suggested that being physically active might translate to a quicker recovery for older adults who are hospitalized, and being physical active might not only have health benefits for older persons but also lead to lower health-care costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of tidal volume, breathing frequency, and minute ventilation between two sitting postures in healthy adults
TL;DR: Results of this study suggest that poor sitting posture may also adversely affect pulmonary function in healthy adults.
