Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of sanding upon cardiometabolic and pulmonary functions in eight elderly patients with cerebral vascular disease. This exercise consists of five grades with two factors: velocity and incline of board. Cardiometabolic and pulmonary indexes, METS, Pressure Rate Product (PRP) and Expiratory Volume (VE) are presented. In comparing basal position and any other grades in METS and VE, a significant difference at the 1% level was found. Concerning velocity and incline only the former was statistically significant at the 5% or 1% level. The results obtained suggest that the responses to sanding in the CVD patients could be more influenced by changing velocity than by angle of board.
