Indicadores antropométricos do estado nutricional entre idosas praticantes e não praticantes de exercício físico na zona norte de São José do Rio Preto-SP

Although the regular practice of physical exercise for the maintenance of the nutritional state and quality of life is important, it is not a common habit among the elderly, especially those of the lower income social bracket. The objective was to characterize and compare according to social-economic conditions and anthropometric indexes of the nutritional state of the elderly who regularly practice and those who do not practice exercises, offered at no cost, in the Northern zone of São José do Rio Preto-SP. In this study, 110 elderly women participated, of which 60 (group P) exercised regularly and 50 did not (group NP). Group P participated in a special gym program, free of charge, for at least 2 years, 2 to 3 times a week, one hour a day. Group NP was recruited from the same location as Group P. The comparison between the groups of elderly women was proportionately distributed according to marital status, level of education, means of locomotion, results of body mass index (IMC), waist to hip ratio (RCQ) and calf circumference, using the chi-square test. Comparisons were also made of average age, per capita family income, individual income, IMC, arm and triceps skin fold measured by t-Test. Differences were not found in all the comparisons made. The variables that stood out were the IMC (overweight) and RCQ (risk of chronic diseases) results, which were above what was expected, and the high frequency of walking and riding buses for both groups of elderly women (about 60%). We came to the conclusion that the low-intensity exercise program evaluated made no difference in the nutritional profi le of the elderly who also used walking as a means of getting around.

Teste de aceitação em amostras de cachaça: avaliação de métodos estatísticos e de número mínimo de julgadores

Based on data of global impression acceptance tests of 4 cachaças samples, sensory evaluated by 120 judges, statistical parametric and non-parametric proceedings were compared. In this way, based on the sensory acceptance obtained data, 5400 systematic samples were created with different judges numbers and submitted to the established statistical proceedings. The obtained results showed that ANOVA, with two factors and Friedman tests, were equivalent to determine signifi cant differences among the cachaça samples, and in relation to the number of judges, the results pointed out 45 as the minimum necessary to detect signifi cative differences.

Avaliação funcional pré e pós programa de exercício físico de pacientes em hemodialise

Model Study: An experimental study Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) refers to a syndromic diagnosis which leads to a progressive and irreversible loss of renal function. A hemodialysis patient may have limitations in functional capacity, pulmonary function and respiratory musclular strength impacting in quality of life. Objective: To evaluate the effects of an exercise program on pulmonary function, functional capacity, quality of life and pain in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methodology: The study included 28 patients of both genders, women and men aged between 40 and 60 years undergoing dialysis at the Kidney Institute, Santa Casa de Misericordia in Presidente Prudente-SP. Primary outcomes included respiratory muscular strength measurements assessed by manovacuometry. The functional capacity was evaluated by a six minute walking test. A life quality questionnaire was applied to evaluate quality of life (SF36-KDQOL). Lung function was evaluated by spirometry. Pain was assessed by a visual analogue scale. The exercise program consisted of training 3 times a week for 40 minutes on hemodialysis during eight weeks. At the end of the program all patients were reassessed. Results: There was no significant difference in the values of FVC and FEV1 before and after the exercise program as well as the index Tiffenau. The value of post MIP was significantly higher than the value obtained in the pre program. For variable MEP no significant difference was found. Functional capacity evaluations showed that there were no significant differences (p> 0.05). The evaluation of quality of life, about the domains of specific areas of CKD showed statistical significance when comparing the list of symptoms and problems with overloading of renal disease and professional role. Indicators related to pain were significantly reduced after the program (P <0.05). Discussion: A chronic kidney patient faces complex situations of physical, social and financial aspects. Although no statistically significant results were found in all variables, the study corroborates to others found in the literature, which suggests that an exercise program can be positive for this population. Conclusion: Although lung capacity and functional capacity did not submit changes to the end of the study, reduced levels of pain, fatigue and dyspnea suggest improvement in functional performance after exercise programs.

Concordância dentre dois testes de capacidade aeróbia máxima em jogadores de futsal: teste de Ellestad e o vai e vem de 20m

O futsal é uma modalidade intermitente cuja a participação do metabolismo aeróbio é importante na ressíntese de ATP e CP gastos anaerobiamente. A capacidade aeróbia máxima (VO2max) pode ser mensurada por testes de campo e testes laboratoriais. Dentre os vários testes laboratoriais existentes, se destaca o teste de Ellestad, devido à sua segurança e capacidade diagnóstica de patologias cardíacas. Dentre os testes de campo se destaca o teste de Vai e Vem de 20m (VV20m), devido à sua alta validade e reprodutibilidade em adultos, e devido à alta especificidade ao futsal e ao futebol, comprovado pela existênicia de correlações significativas do desempenho no VV20m com várias medidas de performance no futebol. Porém, não existem estudos sobre a validação ou concordância do teste de Ellestad em atletas de esportes coletivos. Portanto, o objetivo do presente estudo foi testar a concordância do teste de Ellestad e o VV20m na predição do VO2max em atletas de futsal. Quinze jogadores semi-profissionais (25,4 ± 5,51 anos, 70,37 ± 5,74kg, 1,75 ± 0,04m e 8,43 ± 3,02% de gordura) realizaram os testes de Ellestad e o VV20m em ordens aleatórias, separados por quatro dias. A concordância foi testada pela comparação entre as diferenças (Teste t-studet para dados independentes), correlação (coeficiente de Pearson) e concordância (dipersão de Bland e Altman). Não houve diferença significativa entre os valores de VO2max estimados pelos dois protocolos, mas a correlação foi significativa (p < 0,05; r = 0,479; EPE: 1,8 mlO2×kg -1 ×min -1 ) entre os métodos. A análise de Bland e Altman apresentou concordância entre os testes para um intervalo de ±95% em torno da média da diferença (1,3 mlO2×kg -1 ×min -1 ), porém a dispersão indica um enviesamento positivo e significativo (p < 0,01), sugerindo que a a diferença aumenta com o aumento da média do VO2max. Assim, para atletas de alto rendimento, o teste de Ellestad não apresenta a mesma adequação na determinação do VO2max, quando comparado ao VV20m.

Avaliação da migração de nifas de Scaptocoris carvalhoi Becker, 1967 (Hemiptera, Cydnidae) em plantas de importância econômica e invasora em teste com oportunidade de escolha

One of the factors that affect the control of brown - roots environmental bedbug is the wide availability of plant species. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the migration of nymphs of the brown - roots between plant species of economic importance and invasive stinkbug. Eight species of plants have been established in a set formed by eight circular PVC containers, connected symmetrically with free communication to a central circular container. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design and consisted of eight treatments and six replications. The test evaluations were performed on 15o , 30o , 45o and 60o days after the release of the nymphs, by counting the insects that migrated to the roots of different plants. It was observed that by the 30o day of early release nymphs, no significant differences (P < 0,05) in the choices nymph by plants. B. alata at 15 days of initial release and B. alata and grass-dictyoneura at 30 days were plants that had higher migration. All counts were carried out on 45o and 60o days, the migration of U. brizantha cv. Marandu presented significantly higher than all other species tested plants nymphs.
