According to the GRADE system , there is very low quality evidence that functional training is better than other interventions to improve cardiovascular parameters .
BACKGROUND Functional training is a new training vision that was prepared from the gesture imitation of daily activities .
Although your use has become popular in clinical practice , the influence of the several cardiorespiratory adjustments performed during the functional training in different population s and conditions is unknown .
So , the aim of this systematic review was to gather information in the literature regarding the influence of functional training on cardiorespiratory parameters .
A multi-component exercise regimen to prevent functional decline and bone fragility in home-dwelling elderly women: randomized, controlled trial
Summary This study showed that combination of strength , balance , agility and jumping training prevented functional decline and bone fragility in home-dwelling elderly women . The finding supports the idea that it is possible to maintain good physical functioning by multi-component exercise program and thus postpone the age-related functional problems . Introduction This 1-year r and omized , controlled exercise intervention trial assessed the effects of two different training programs and their combination on physical functioning and bone in home-dwelling elderly women . Methods One hundred and forty-nine healthy women aged 70–78 years were r and omly assigned into : group 1—resistance training ( RES ) , group 2—balance-jumping training ( BAL ) , group 3—combination of resistance and balance-jumping training ( COMB ) , and group 4—controls ( CON ) . Self-rated physical functioning , leg extensor force , dynamic balance , and bone mass and structure were measured . Results Self-rated physical functioning improved in the COMB group , but was reduced in the CON group ; the mean inter-group difference was 10 % ( 95 % CI : 0–22 % ) . Mean increase in the leg extensor force was higher in the RES ( 14 % ; 4–25 % ) and COMB ( 13 % ; 3–25 % ) compared with the CON groups . Dynamic balance improved in the BAL ( 6 % ; 1–11 % ) and in the COMB ( 8 % ; 3–12 % ) groups . There were no inter-group differences in BMC at the proximal femur . In those COMB women who trained at least twice a week , the tibial shaft structure weakened 2 % ( 0–4 % ) less than those in the CON group . Conclusions Strength , balance , agility , and jumping training ( especially in combination ) prevented functional decline in home-dwelling elderly women . In addition , positive effects seen in the structure of the loaded tibia indicated that exercise may also play a role in preventing bone fragility
