Introduction: The Constraint-induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is a therapeutic program which main goal is the functional recuperation of paretic upper extremity of stroke patients with motor deficits by an intensive treatment, practice of functional repetition and wear of restriction in non-paretic during 90% of the daily hours. Objective: The aim of this study was evaluate the CIMT influence on upper extremity function of hemiparetic individuals. Method: The CIMT was provided for 3 daily hours for 10 consecutive days. Besides, patients were asked to wear a restraint dispositive on the unaffected hand during 90% of their activities daily living hours. Before and after the intervention period, 2 tests were administered to evaluate motor function, the Motor Activity Log (MAL) and the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT). Results: The results of MAL showed significant difference in quantity (p=0,011) and quality (p=0,016) of paretic upper extremity movements. Analysis of WMFT indicated a significant reduction of time that patients performed the tasks (p= 0,042) and a difference for quality of movement (p<0,0001). Conclusion: The present results showed that CIMT improves upper extremity function in hemiparetic individuals.

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).

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...

Obesity along with overweight has been considered one of the most serious public health problems in the world, especially because they are the main risk factors for many chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, type II diabetes mellitus, hypertension and some types of tumors, which are associated with high mortality rates. The use of functional foods and appropriate diets to promote health has grown as a mechanism for prevention, control and treatment of chronic diseases such as obesity. Several ethnopharmacological studies indicate plants species for the treatment of disorders associated with obesity with a major attraction of this regimen is perceived as safer and more effective for health than the traditional treatment with appetite suppressants. Whereas both food intake and the oral treatment with different compounds can cause changes in gene expression and that a proper diet has been valuable as a mechanism for maintaining the body's vital functions, the objective of this project was to evaluate the effects of standardized extract of Brassica campestris L. in the decrease in weight and food intake control. In vivo trials of this product were conducted and studies of its effects on energy metabolism in non-obese mice and with obesity induced by hypercaloric diet. After induction of obesity by 8 weeks, animals were treated for 21 days with the extract orally. After 21 days the animals were killed and the effects of this product were evaluated on the daily feed intake and on body weight. According to the results obtained, the extract of Brassica campestris was not effective in reducing body weight of obese animals, and did not reduce food intake

Medo e ansiedade são emoções que se originam nas reações de defesa de caráter adaptativo que animais exibem perante ameaças que podem comprometer sua integridade física ou sua própria sobrevivência. Tais situações resultam em um repertório de comportamentos defensivos espécie-específicos, alterações autonômicas e inibição da dor. A dor é descrita por uma variedade de sensações e experiências emocionais associadas e constituída de dois principais componentes: o perceptivo-discriminativo, que permite ao indivíduo reconhecer o estímulo como doloroso e localizá-lo numa região do corpo, e o aversivo-cognitivo-motivacional, que compreende uma série de respostas defensivas, objetivando a autopreservação imediata. O modelo de condicionamento por lugar, para medir efeitos não discriminativos da estimulação nociceptiva, vem sendo utilizado em abordagens recentes para o estudo do componente emocional relacionado à dor. Existem paradigmas baseados na aprendizagem associativa entre o estado afetivo e de dicas ambientais que precedem a aplicação de um estímulo, o qual pode ter propriedade aversiva ou prazerosa, dependendo da resposta que se quer estudar. O presente estudo investigou a ação do fármaco triazolobenzodiazepínico, Alprazolam, sobre o fenômeno da ACL em camundongos, que foram separados em grupos experimentais. No primeiro dia, parte dos animais sofreu estimulação nociceptiva, através da injeção de formalina a 2,5% na pata traseira direita, e foi confinado nos ambientes diferenciados de uma Plataforma Elevada fechada (um lado com grade no assoalho e outro sem grade). No segundo dia, parte dos animais 7 (de acordo com o grupo de estudo) recebeu tratamento farmacológico (Alprazolam ou salina) 30 minutos antes de ser reexposto à plataforma, registrando-se o tempo gasto nos dois ambientes da plataforma elevada fechada...
