Efeito do treinamento físico aeróbio sobre a concentração plasmática de superóxido dismutase em mulheres no climatério

No período da menopausa, a incidência de doenças cardiovasculares em mulheres é equivalente a dos homens, e assim os gastos públicos com saúde nesta população em particular, aumentam significativamente, uma vez que as mulheres possuem maior longevidade se comparadas aos homens. Os mecanismos celulares e/ou moleculares pelos quais ocorre maior incidência de hipertensão arterial em mulheres após a menopausa ainda não são claros. Uma variedade de fatores parece contribuir para a elevação de pressão arterial na menopausa, entre eles destacam-se a deficiência de estrogênio, o aumento do estresse oxidativo, a disfunção endotelial, a elevação da atividade do sistema renina-angiotensina, a elevação nos níveis plasmáticos de testosterona, as alterações no perfil lipídico e o aumento no ganho de peso. Trabalhos prévios mostram que os efeitos benéficos do exercício físico sobre o sistema cardiovascular estão relacionados a maior produção de óxido nítrico e/ou sua biodisponibilidade para o músculo liso vascular. Este último mecanismo tem sido relacionado com elevação da atividade da enzima antioxidante superóxido dismutase (SOD), que representa um importante mecanismo de defesa celular contra a formação de radicais livres. Objetivo: avaliar os níveis plasmáticos da enzima superóxido dismutase em resposta a um programa de treinamento físico aeróbio por 8 semanas realizado em mulheres no climatério. Métodos: A amostra foi constituída por 31 mulheres normotensas (49,3±1,2 anos) e 15 hipertensas (52,2±1,6 anos) todas diagnosticadas no período do climatério e sedentárias...

Efeito do treinamento físico aeróbio em hipertensos de meia idade e idosos nos valores de consumo máximo de oxigênio

The aim of this study was to investigate whether aerobic capacity (VO2max) would be modified by antihypertensive therapy in elderly and middle-age women after 12 weeks of exercise training. The volunteers were divided in two groups: normotensive (n=14) and hypertensive (n=14). Aerobic exercise was performed for 3 days/week, during 60 minutes, for 12 weeks with an intensity of 50-70% rest heart hate. Anthropometric parameters (weight and height), body fat index, % of fat mass, cardiopulmonary evaluation to calculated VO2max and a cardiovascular evaluation with blood pressure and rest heart hate were evaluated at baseline and after training program. At the end of study abdominal circumference and Borg scale were also evaluated. Our findings showed the aerobic program of 12 weeks was effective to reduce diastolic blood pressure in both groups. Systolic blood pressure was reduced only hypertensive group. No evidences were found the aerobic capacity was affected by hypertensive therapies. In conclusion, the aerobic program for 12 weeks was effective to reduce blood pressure and there was no influence of antihypertensive therapy on the aerobic capacity in this particular population.

As fases do treinamento de natação influenciam os substratos energéticos, cortisol e leucócitos

The effect of physical exercise in immune function has been extensively studied. The intensity and duration of physical exercise have considerable influence in immunologic parameters. However, few studies have compared different exercise intensities in different stages of a physical training program. Thus, the aim of this study was to verify the metabolic, hormonal and immunologic changes before and after acute intermittent swimming exercise, following different stages of training program. Seventeen male swimmers were evaluated in three stages of training. The intensity of the three sessions was 90% (anaerobic potency – PAN), 70% (aerobic potency - PAE) and 98% (lactate tolerance – TLA) of the maximal speed from the best time of the distance, resulted from peak performance in competition. Blood samples were collected pre and immediately after exercise for cells counting and measurement of substrates and cortisol concentrations. It was used ANOVA to verify the significance of difference (p<0.05). There was a significant increase of glucose and cortisol post exercise in the PAN and PAE sessions. Glutamine increased significantly in PAE and TLA. Leukocytes increased significantly after the three different sessions and lymphocytes decreased significantly on PAE and TLA. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that changes of the several parameters studied in different stages of training program can cause temporary alterations in immune cells and may compromise resistance to common minor illnesses and athlete performance.

Alterações antropométricas de lesados medulares após treinamento intervalado em natação

The goal of this study was to assess the alterations in some anthropometric measures of sedentary subjects with spinal cord injury after a swimming interval training program with the use of a lifejacket. The study included 17 male spinal cord injured subjects, divided into two groups: 11 subjects in the training group (TG) and 6 in the control group (CG).The protocol employed a stroke of breaststroke, in work periods of moderate to severe, and stroke in the back stroke in periods of active recovery. An anthropometric evaluation was applied before the application of the training protocol and another (reevaluation) after 8 weeks. In the TG, the results obtained after the swimming program showed a significant change (p < 0.05) in the supra-iliac (SICF) and in the triciptal cutaneous folds (TCF), arm and waist circumference measures, from the first evaluation to the reevaluation. In the CG there were no significant changes observed in any of the variables studied. When comparing the two groups after the swimming training program, the average of the variable SICFT in the TG was significantly lower than the average for the CG. Generally speaking, the out comings showed the swimming protocol efficiency in promoting desirable anthropometric changes in spinal cord injured subjects while a reduction of fatty tissue in the arms and abdominal region and an increase of muscular tissue in the upper limbs of those subjects also occurred.

Resposta crônica e aguda da glicemia a um protocolo de treinamento misto para melhora da saúde de diabéticos tipo 2

The objective of the research was to evaluate the effect of a training program of physical exercises mixed (aerobic / anaerobic conditioning circuit-break with active), including exercises, walking, weight training and Swiss ball, caused about possible changes in their metabolic system, as changes acute and chronic, individuals bearers of DM2. The methodology used is a model of experimented design of pretest and post-test applied to the group. The blood glucose levels were analyzed in fasting pre-test and post-test, and capillary glycemia in three periods of physical exercise: pre, during and post training, and the statistical processing done by the use of Statistical Software for PC-For SPSS ® Windows ®, V. 12.0 .. With the result has been a drop in the values significant glucometers between 6 weeks of training, with a negative delta average of 68 mg / dl. Furthermore, similar results were also found variations in the daily glycemic between the moments before and after the training session acute. Thus we find that, regardless of the biological mechanism responsible, the program mixed aerobic and anaerobic conditioning circuit-break with active was effective in reducing and controlling chronic and acute glycemic of subjects type 2 diabetic.

Efeitos do treinamento misto na promoção da saúde e sua interferência no perfil lipidêmico em indivíduos diabéticos tipo 2

Diabetes is a chronic disease that currently affects 171 million individuals approximately worldwide, with projection to reach 366 million people in 2030, increasing the prevalence of 2.8% in 2000 to 4.4%. The dyslipidemia is certainly one of the associated metabolic alterations most important, if we consider the main cause of death in Diabetes - the cardiovascular disease (CVD). One of the prevention and help factors in the Diabetes treatment and in the fall of associated complications is the physical exercise, which contributes to a better life quality to the diabetic. The main objective of the work was to evaluate the effect of a mixed physical exercises training program (aerobic/anaerobic with pause-active), including walking exercises, weightlifting and swiss ball, about possible changes in the blood lipid profile of adult individuals type 2 diabetics. The methodology used an experimental model of pre-test and post-test applied to the group. The data were first analyzed in a descriptive way for the normalization and the elaboration of averages and sample diversions. The sample was subdivided in two moments, being one pre and other post then weeks of training. After these procedures, the results of the values of the lipidic profile and glycemia were compared between the pairs pre and post training (test T Student, pair data), non-parametric. With the study, we can conclude that in despite of the low uptake of participants in the search, for reasons already cited, and the great age difference between them, the found results were partially satisfactory, because we achieved significant changes only in the glycemic variables, but we suggest future studies in the molds here proposed.

Suplementação oral de L-carnitina associada ao treinamento físico e muscular respiratório na doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica: estudo preliminar

Avaliar os efeitos da suplementação oral de L-carnitina associada ao treinamento físico e muscular respiratório na doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC). Participaram 14 voluntários com idade de 65±10,4 anos e diagnóstico clínico de DPOC moderado, classificados de acordo com a espirometria prévia. Os voluntários foram divididos em grupo treino esteira (GTE) e grupo treino muscular respiratório (GTMR). Realizaram o teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6'), teste de caminhada com carga progressiva (TCP), avaliação nutricional do índice de massa corpórea (IMC), dose diária recomendada de L-carnitina, pressões inspiratórias (PImáx) e expiratórias máximas (PEmáx). Fizeram 30 min de caminhada em esteira, 3 vezes/semana por 10 semanas, e o GTMR realizou, ainda, 10 min de treinamento muscular inspiratório (Threshold® IMT) e 10 min de treinamento muscular expiratório (Threshold® PEP) à 50% da PImáx e PEmáx ajustados semanalmente. Após 10 semanas, foram reavaliados. No TC6' pré e pós-programa de treinamento físico, as variáveis alteradas foram: distância percorrida (DP), frequência cardíaca (FC) final, pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) final, pressão arterial diastólica (PAD) final e Borg final no GTMR, no GTE as variáveis alteradas foram FC repouso, FC final, PAS final, Borg repouso e DP. Comparando os grupos no TC6, o GTE apresentou FC final, PAD final e Borg final maiores do que o GTMR na reavaliação; já no TCP, a FC final, PAS final, Borg final foram maiores no GTE, e DP foi maior no GTMR. Na avaliação respiratória, a PEmáx foi maior no GTMR na reavaliação. O treino aeróbio e suplementação de L-carnitina na DPOC otimizou a performance, a capacidade física e a tolerância ao esforço.
