Introduction: Some losses resulting from aging can be minimized with the practice of resistive exercises. Objective: To analyze the effects of resistive exercises on flexibility, mobility, muscle strength and balance in the elderly. Method: Twenty elderly individuals were divided between an activity group (AG, n=10; 66.1±6.35 years) and a control group (CG, n=10; 65.4±7.54 years). Mobility, flexibility, muscle strength and balance were evaluated. The AG participated in the training for 13 weeks (one-hour sessions, twice a week). The Wilcoxon non-parametric test (intra-group analysis) was used to analyze the data. A significance level of 5% (p<0.05) was adopted. Results: After training, the AG presented better mobility, lower limb muscle strength, and balance, but no difference in flexibility. Conclusion: The present study allows us to conclude that resistive exercises were able to improve mobility, lower limb muscle strength and balance in elderly individuals.

Hypertension is a disease that affects a large part of the world population, in which the treatment consists in changing habits of life, which include diet, weight loss and smoking cessation, among others, attending the physical activity outstanding recommendations, supported by its positive effects on the maintenance of blood pressure levels within the limits of normality. Objective: To characterize the post-exercise hypotensive response on individuals with hypertension. Method: Literature review from 1990 to 2011, searching the electronic databases MEDLINE, ScIELO, Lilacs and Cochrane. Articles were selected using keywords hypertension, physical exercise and high blood pressure. Results: One session of physical activity promotes the reduction of arterial hypertension, which is called post-exercise hypotension. However, this phenomenon will depend on some related factors such as the type, intensity and duration of exercise. Conclusion: The performance of activity and/or physical exercise is important in non-pharmacological treatment for lowering blood pressure, but is not yet defined the best type of exercise.

Adopting a healthy lifestyle it is critical for the prevention of high blood pressure and is an indispensable part of the treatment of those with hypertension. High levels of physical activity and greater fitness are associated with reduced incidence of hypertension. However until the beginning of the 1990 decade, the resisted exercise was not inclued at the internacionals statements for people with heart disease. Fortunately, in the past few years, this type of exercise started to take into account as a possible strategy for the first and second prevention of diferents cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study it is to evaluate, through a systematic review, the contribution of the resisted exercise on the cardiovascular responses in hypertensive male adults. Twenty eight articles were pre-selected for this study, four attend to the requirements. The results were not consistent in this review, only the diastolic blood pressure demonstrated decrease in three of the four studies, in circuit protocol as much as in the conventional protocol. Otherwise one study proved an increase in the VO2max, wich is an important data, because it is an anaerobic exercise and, an improve was not expected. An other article analised the harm issues of the Valsalva manouvre, where it was presented the maximum blood pressure values (345/245 mmHg) and evidences of lower blood pressure rises in the intra-arterial, intrathoracic and intra-abdominal pressures when the exercise was performed without the manouvre, enhancing the necessity to avoid the use of this manouvre in hypertensive individuals.

O Diabetes mellitus é um problema de saúde pública mundial. Tal doença é caracterizada pela redução da secreção (Diabetes mellitus tipo1) ou da ação (Diabetes mellitus tipo2) da insulina, acarretando hiperglicemia, além de alterações no metabolismo das proteínas e dos lipídeos. As consequências para o organismo são variadas, incluindo hipertensão, nefropatias, retinopatias e cardiopatias. Atualmente existe grande interesse nas ervas medicinais, como hipoglicemiantes naturais, entre elas, a spirulina. A spirulina parece ser boa fonte protéica para a alimentação, tem boa aceitação e não apresenta efeitos tóxicos aparentes. Além disso, ela pode exercer efeitos benéficos no tratamento de algumas doenças como câncer, desnutrição, obesidade, hipercolesterolemia, hipertensão arterial, diabetes mellitus,entre outras. Tendo em vista a grande possibilidade utilizar a spirulina na dieta, o presente estudo visa analisar o metabolismo muscular da glicose em ratos diabéticos. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre os grupos nas variáveis metabólicas estudadas

Introduction: The elderly population has increased, and the aging process is responsible for physical and metabolic changes in the body. For the elderly remain independent, with a better quality of life, preventing and treating diseases responsible for this increased of mortality should remain physically active. Objective: To investigate the influence of two types of exercise intervention on physical fitness and physical activity levels in older practitioners of Rio Claro-SP. Method: The study included 18 older adults with mean age 65.8 years (± 2.88) divided into two groups, Program in Physical Exercises Health Unit (PEFUS, n = 9) and Adapted Volleyball (n = 9). Classes of PEFUS were held twice a week lasting 60 min with strength, aerobic endurance, agility, coordination and balance exercises. Classes of Volleyball Adapted were performed 2 times per week lasting 120 minutes, divided into volleyball fundamental exercises and game. For evaluation of physical skills (strength, agility, coordination and flexibility), was performed the AAHPERD test battery. All participants were assessed at the baseline and after 3 months of interventions. The statistical analysis used was the repeated measures ANOVA, through the SPSS version 17.0 and significance level p <0.05. Result: After the interventions there was an increase of leisure time from 362.2 ± 214.9 min / week and 16.7 ± 28.3 min / week to 541.7 ± 137.2 and 44.4 ± 44.8 min / week to Adapted Volleyball and PEFUS, respectively. The variable coordination showed significant improvements after the interventions, decreasing from 12.1 ± 0.7 to 10.8 ± 0.5 sec for Volleyball Adapted and from 14.8 ± 0.9 to 12.1 ± 0, 9 sec for PEFUS (p <0.05). For the variable strength it was observed a group-moment interaction (p <0.05). Conclusion: The interventions showed positive results... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Nowadays the regular practice of sports is known as a way to obtain a better quality of life. On the other hand, the media has been distorting this idea, determining the ideal body as the hypertrophy phenotype. It is well known that the genetic factor does not allow all individuals to have this body shape. Besides the fact that, the anxiety of these people in obtain quick results, as one of the globalization’s consequence, make use of anabolic steroid to achieve this goal. However the bodybuilding or the strength muscle gain, make anabolic steroids users abuse and in major cases the users do not know the side effects. In front of these considerations, the present study evaluated the effects of the treatment with anabolic steroids and/or high intensity physical training on the corporal developing, the reproductive organs, bone parameters (strength and bone deformation) and seminal parameters as well the social behavior (aggressiveness). In other to obtain the experimental group, male Wistar rats were used, with 75 days old. The groups were divided into: Vehicle Non-Training (NV), Anabolic Steroid-Non-Training (NA), Vehicle-Training (TV) and Anabolic Steroid-Training (TA). These rats received i.m. injections, twice a week, of anabolic steroid (5mg/kg per animal of nandrolona decanoate) or vehicle (the same volume of peanut oil per animal) and the group TV and TA were submitted to physical training three times per week, during eight weeks. The body mass, wet weight of reproductive organs, femur and semen of the different groups were measured. The aggressive test was also realized in two steps: the first, within 4 weeks of the treatment and the other step in the end of the treatment, in this period the animal was isolated. It was not observed alterations in body mass of the groups. Though it was observed a benefic effect on the maximum strength of the... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Segundo dados da V Diretrizes Brasileiras de Hipertensão, 60% das pessoas idosas sofrem de hipertensão arterial, sendo as mulheres mais acometidas por esta doença. Pesquisas têm mostrado uma relação entre exercício, percepção de dor e pressão arterial, e idosos apresentam ainda um decréscimo na sensibilidade cutânea, devido à redução do número de receptores sensoriais responsáveis pelas terminações nervosas. Desta maneira, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o efeito de uma sessão de exercício com pesos na sensibilidade cutânea em idosas hipertensas e normotensas fisicamente ativas. Metodologia: Participaram do estudo dezessete mulheres com 60 anos ou mais, praticantes de exercício com pesos no Programa de Atividade Física para a Terceira Idade (PROFIT) – Departamento de Educação Física – IB - UNESP Rio Claro, divididas em dois grupos (hipertensas com diagnóstico médico e normotensas) e seguiram o seguinte protocolo de avaliação: questionário de dados cadastrais, antropométricos (massa corporal, estatura e IMC) e de anamnese clínica; o Questionário de Baecke Modificado para Idosos (QBMI) para estimativa do nível de atividade física e o Diagrama Corporal da Localização e Distribuição de Dor; um questionário para avaliar a ansiedade pré e pós-sessão de exercício (IDATE) e tiveram o limiar de sensibilidade cutânea avaliado por meio do estesiômetro pré e após um sessão de exercício com pesos. A análise estatística variou de acordo com a natureza das medidas: a) para os dados de avaliação antropométrica e nível de atividade física foi empregada a estatística descritiva paramétrica (médias e desvios-padrão); b) teste de Wilcoxon para comparação intra-grupo; c) teste t para comparação inter-grupo do teste de ansiedade; d) teste U de Mann-Whitney para comparação entre os grupos no teste de sensibilidade...

This work demonstrates the technique of perineural anesthetic blocks made in the distal forelimb of the horse, and also covers aspects relating to the interpretation of the results obtained with the procedure. The limit of the subject the distal forelimb of horses is explained by the distribution of common lameness, being more frequent in this region. The procedure is intended to provide analgesia to a region of the limb, causing the animal to stop limping or decrease the intensity of claudication temporarily, since this region is responsible for the claudication, allowing thus, the likely location of the lesion, which may be investigated by other helper methods to confirm the diagnosis. Besides the description of the technique, were approached concerning aspects to the location of the anatomical structures involved, materials needed, cares with the animals, and possible complications from the procedure

Em trabalho anterior, observou-se que diferentes grupamentos musculares submetidos ao teste de exaustão (TE) com pesos respondem semelhantemente com hemoconcentração, acidose e aumento da glicemia, entretanto, com variações grupomuscular dependentes. Nesse estudo, é comparado o efeito do impacto provocado pelo TE envolvendo, conjuntamente, 5, 4 ou 3 exercícios por meio da análise desses marcadores bioquímicos. Foram estudados 21 indivíduos do sexo masculino (20-32 anos) voluntários, familiarizados com treinamento em musculação, estratificados em três grupos de acordo com o número de exercícios: grupo 5 ( n= 6) 5 exercícios (Extensão do cotovelo, desenvolvimento pela frente, supino reto, levantamento terra e agachamento), grupo 4 (n= 7) 4 exercícios (Supino reto, rosca direta com barra, agachamento hack, tríceps no pulley), grupo 3 (n= 8) 3 exercícios (Agachamento hack, supino reto, rosca direta ) . Todos foram submetidos à sobrecarga inicial de 80% de uma repetição máxima (1RM), até a exaustão, em seguida, com auxílio externo e sem interrupção do exercício, a carga foi reduzida em 20% do peso, até a impossibilidade de continuidade de realização do exercício com a carga mínima (20% de 1RM). O sangue coletado em veia cubital antes (At) e imediatamente após (Ap) o TE foi analisado para indicadores hemogasimétricos (pH, pO2, pCO2, HCO- 3), hemoconcentração (Ht) e glicemia. O efeito do TE sobre cada variável (At/Ap) foi avaliado comparando-se os grupos por meio de ANOVA-medidas repetidas para significância de p=0,05. Houve significância (p<0,05) na elevação do Ht, glicose e pO2 e redução do pH, PCO2 e HCO- 3, Entretanto houve diferença significativa entre os grupos apenas em relação ao HCO- 3, no qual este apresentou maior variação no G4 em relação ao demais. Assim, esses marcadores sistêmicos respondem a exaustão muscular de modo semelhante ao envolvimento de 3,4 ou 5 grupamentos musculares

A síndrome metabólica é um mal que, segundo projeções, poderá no ano de 2010, acometer de 50 a 75 milhões de pessoas somente nos Estados Unidos. Dessa forma, é de grande interesse a implementação de procedimentos mais eficazes para prevenção e tratamento desta doença. Uma vez que existem limitações nas pesquisas com seres humanos, torna-se necessário o desenvolvimento de modelos experimentais apropriados ao estudo desta questão. Na busca de um modelo experimental adequado ao estudo do papel do exercício na prevenção e no tratamento da síndrome metabólica, o presente estudo analisou o perfil metabólico e a capacidade aeróbia de ratos mantidos com dieta rica em frutose, substrato que tem sido associado à síndrome metabólica, na vida intra-uterina e pós-natal. Foram utilizadas ratas adultas (90 dias) da linhagem Wistar, alimentadas durante a prenhez e a lactação com dois tipos de dieta: balanceada (AIN-93G) e rica em frutose (60% de frutose). Durante a amamentação, os filhotes foram distribuídos em ninhadas pequenas (4/mãe) ou adequadas (8/mãe). Após o desmame, manteve-se as mesmas dietas até os 90 dias, quando foram analisados: tolerância à glicose (teste de tolerância à glicose), sensibilidade periférica à insulina (teste de tolerância à insulina); capacidade aeróbia (determinação da máxima fase estável de lactato em natação), conteúdo pancreático de insulina; peso e concentração de lipídios totais no tecido adiposo de diferentes regiões e concentrações séricas de glicose, insulina, triglicerídeos, colesterol total, colesterol LDL, colesterol HDL. Constatou-se que a dieta rica em frutose conduziu os animais a resistência à insulina. O grupo FP apresentou dislipidemia, com aumento nas concentrações séricas de colesterol total e triglicerídeos, mostrando que o modelo animal avaliado é potencialmente interessante para o estudo da síndrome metabólica.
