| Popis: | BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine if body weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) decreased metabolic and cardiovascular demand in older (50-74 years) healthy adults while walking a self-selected speeds. The results of this study could impact clinician application to exercise therapy. METHODS Twenty subjects (50% female, 58.3+7.3 yr) completed 3, 5-minute treadmill walking trials at a self-selected pace, with 0%, 15%, and 30% body weight support (BWS). Blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), and oxygen uptake (VO2) were measured at rest, and during walking trials. Mean data from minutes 3-5 were analyzed for difference by repeated measures ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc testing. RESULTS At rest, HR was 70.8+8.2 bpm and BP was 126.8+12.2 / 84.3+8.6 mmHg. Mean walking speed was 67.1 m/min. Tested parameters during exercise trials were significantly (p |
