Entretanto, para sua utilização, são necessários equipamentos de custo elevado, técnicos bem treinados e tempo, restringindo sua utilização em estudos populacionais. Desta forma, o objetivo do estudo foi desenvolver modelos de predição da aptidão cardiorrespiratória de adultos, por meio de variáveis de simples mensuração. Foram utilizados os dados de 8.293 sujeitos, sendo 5.291 homens e 3.235 mulheres. A amostra constituiu-se de dados retrospectivos da cidade de Florianópolis-SC, abrangendo sujeitos entre 18 e 65 anos. Para estimar o consumo de oxigênio de pico (VO 2pico), mensurado de maneira direta, foram associados os dados de: idade, massa corporal, condicionamento, estatura, frequência cardíaca pré-esforço, dislipidemia, hipertensão arterial, tabagismo, diabetes. Após a realização dos procedimentos estatísticos por intermédio de regressão linear múltipla, foram desenvolvidas duas equações para o sexo masculino e duas para o sexo feminino. O modelo completo para o sexo masculino apresenta R 2 ajustado de 0,531 e erro padrão de estimativa (EPE) de 7,15 ml-1 •kg-1 •min, enquanto que o modelo completo para o sexo feminino apresenta R 2 ajustado de 0,436 e EPE de 5,68 ml-1 •kg-1 •min. Conclui-se que o modelo desenvolvido de predição da aptidão cardiorrespiratória é uma alternativa viável e prática para predição do VO 2pico em estudos epidemiológicos ou quando um teste cardiopulmonar de esforço não for possível ou acessível. Palavras-chave: Aptidão cardiorrespiratória; Equação de regressão; VO 2pico .

Were evaluated 111 children (57 boys and 54 girls), with an average age of 11,60 ± 0,72 years old. BMI was calculated for categorization of data. Through the questionnaire of Bouchard et al. (1983) were estimate the absolute energy expenditure, relative energy expenditure, physical activity energy expenditure and physical activity level, and through Schofield’s (1985) equation the basal metabolic rate was estimated. The results demonstrated that absolute energy expenditure, the basal metabolic tax, energy expend with physical activity and level of physical activity had been significantly (p<0,0001) superior in individuals with overweight compared with eutrophic in both genders. The study concludes that individuals with overweight presents greater absolute expenses of energy compared with its eutrophic pairs, but when the values are corrected by the weight, these had be...

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a relação entre o pico de potência anaeróbia e o volume da coxa, assim como sua associação com outras variáveis antropométricas. Participaram do estudo 31 adolescentes do sexo masculino, praticantes de treinamento sistematizado de basquete, com idade média de 15,16 ± 1,11 anos, em estágio 3 e 4 de maturação sexual. As medidas antropométricas da perna e coxa, assim como o cálculo do volume da coxa, foram obtidos por meio das medidas de circunferência e comprimento, seguindo protocolo proposto por Sady et al. (1982). O pico de potência anaeróbia foi mensurado mediante teste de potência anaeróbia de Wingate. Foi utilizada a estatística descritiva (média e desvio padrão) para a caracterização da amostra. Para verificar o grau de correlação entre o volume da coxa e o pico de potência anaeróbia foi utilizado o teste de correlação binária de Pearson. Para observar a correlação entre o pico de potência anaeróbia e as variáveis antropométricas, foi feita a análise de regressão linear múltipla. Verificaram-se correlações significativas entre as variáveis antropométricas e a potência anaeróbia, havendo forte correlação da massa magra e o volume da coxa com a potência relativa e absoluta. Por meio da análise de regressão, a massa magra corporal determinou 83% da potência anaeróbia nestes adolescentes. Nossos resultados indicam que a potência anaeróbia está correlacionada com as medidas antropométricas, e a massa magra foi determinante no desempenho anaeróbio. As medidas dos comprimentos corporais e sua associação com as demais variáveis são relevantes para futuros estudos a ponto de predizer novos modelos preditivos para determinação do desempenho anaeróbio.

Objective: This paper explores the acute effect of different intensities of aerobic exercise on anti-inflammatory and proinflammatory markers in apparently healthy university students. Methods: Eighteen volunteers underwent two sessions of aerobic exercise, the first at 65-70% estimated heart rate (HR), and after seven days, a second session at 80-85% HR. Before and after each session, venous blood was drawn, in order to analyze interleukin (IL) 6 and 10 in a Milliplex Kit. The participants’ level of physical activity was determined using a questionnaire. For statistical comparisons, two-way ANOVA was used for the variables hemodynamics and perceived exertion. The cytokine results were compared through the Student's t-test for repeated measurements. The exclusion criteria were the practice of physical exercise and having...

The hypothesis of overestimation in cardiac autonomic dynamics when the ETT is performed using handrail was tested. Thirty-five undergraduates (21.08 ± 2.98 years old) of both sexes, volunteered to undertake two ETT under the Ellestad protocol, in non-consecutive days. The first test (T1) was performed with handrail support and, after 7 days, the second test was performed (T2) without the support. Autonomic function was measured by heart rate variability (HRV) during both tests and resting. Estimated value of peak oxygen uptake (VO2) was 22.4% (p

In contrast, regular physical exercise can promote adaptations to reactive oxygen species that are beneficial for patients with HF. We completed a systematic review of randomized controlled trials that evaluate the influence of exercise on oxidative stress in patients with HF. Articles were searched in the PubMed, Cochrane, SciELO, and LILACS databases. The search was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale. We selected 12 studies with a total of 353 participants. The included patients had a left ventricle ejection fraction of < 52% and New York Heart Association functional class II or III disease. A significant increase was observed in peak oxygen consumption (between 10 and 46%) in the group that underwent training (TG). There...

Thus, the aim of this study was to compare which of the four indicators of adiposity (waist circumference-WC, body mass index-BMI, body adiposity index-BAI, and visceral adiposity index-VAI) were better associated with hypertension in a Brazilian population. For this study, were selected 1627 individuals (both genders, and aged over 18 years) resident in the municipality of Baependi, a city located in the Southeast of Brazil. WC, BMI, BAI and VAI were determined according to a standard protocol. Hypertension was defined as mean systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg, and/or antihypertensive drug use. The indicators of adiposity WC, BMI, BAI, and VAI were higher in hypertensive when compared to non-hypertensive individuals. In addition, WC and BMI were most strongly associated with hypertension in men and w...

Atualmente a terapia nutricional tem sido fundamental na prevenção, tratamento e gerenciamento da doença, com vistas a proporcionar o bom estado nutricional, a saúde fisiológica e qualidade de vida do indivíduo. O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer as percepções e práticas alimentares de crianças e adolescentes portadores de DM1. A pesquisa teve caráter exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa, e voltou-se para crianças com idade entre 7 e 11 anos e com adolescentes com idade entre 12 e 18 anos. Foi realizada uma entrevista não estruturada com as mães das crianças menores de 11 anos, e com os próprios adolescentes, a partir de algumas questões norteadoras. As entrevistas foram examinadas pela técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados evidenciaram que a doença não se instala apenas no corpo, mas ocupa um grande espaço na vida desses indivíduos e de seus familiares. Além disso, nota-se que as mães das crianças e os adolescentes estão atentas aos cuidados diários e enfrentam dificuldades no tratamento e controle do DM1, principalmente no que se refere à alimentação, aliadas aos aspectos emocionais, conviviais e socioeconômicos. Conclui-se que os profissionais da saúde devem buscar constantemente o conhecimento para que possam assistir o paciente diabético. Além disso, os nutricionistas devem criar estratégias que estimulem essa população na busca de uma alimentação adequada que proporcione a manutenção e promoção da saúde.

Articles were searched in the PubMed, Cochrane, SciELO, and LILACS databases. The search was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale. We selected 12 studies with a total of 353 participants. The included patients had a left ventricle ejection fraction of < 52% and New York Heart Association functional class II or III disease. A significant increase was observed in peak oxygen consumption (between 10 and 46%) in the group that underwent training (TG). There...

Thus, the aim of this study was to compare which of the four indicators of adiposity (waist circumference-WC, body mass index-BMI, body adiposity index-BAI, and visceral adiposity index-VAI) were better associated with hypertension in a Brazilian population. For this study, were selected 1627 individuals (both genders, and aged over 18 years) resident in the municipality of Baependi, a city located in the Southeast of Brazil. WC, BMI, BAI and VAI were determined according to a standard protocol. Hypertension was defined as mean systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg, and/or antihypertensive drug use. The indicators of adiposity WC, BMI, BAI, and VAI were higher in hypertensive when compared to non-hypertensive individuals. In addition, WC and BMI were most strongly associated with hypertension in men and w...

Atualmente a terapia nutricional tem sido fundamental na prevenção, tratamento e gerenciamento da doença, com vistas a proporcionar o bom estado nutricional, a saúde fisiológica e qualidade de vida do indivíduo. O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer as percepções e práticas alimentares de crianças e adolescentes portadores de DM1. A pesquisa teve caráter exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa, e voltou-se para crianças com idade entre 7 e 11 anos e com adolescentes com idade entre 12 e 18 anos. Foi realizada uma entrevista não estruturada com as mães das crianças menores de 11 anos, e com os próprios adolescentes, a partir de algumas questões norteadoras. As entrevistas foram examinadas pela técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados evidenciaram que a doença não se instala apenas no corpo, mas ocupa um grande espaço na vida desses indivíduos e de seus familiares. Além disso, nota-se que as mães das crianças e os adolescentes estão atentas aos cuidados diários e enfrentam dificuldades no tratamento e controle do DM1, principalmente no que se refere à alimentação, aliadas aos aspectos emocionais, conviviais e socioeconômicos. Conclui-se que os profissionais da saúde devem buscar constantemente o conhecimento para que possam assistir o paciente diabético. Além disso, os nutricionistas devem criar estratégias que estimulem essa população na busca de uma alimentação adequada que proporcione a manutenção e promoção da saúde.
