Cortisol, DHEA, and depression in the elderly: the influence of physical capacity
Moraes,Helena; Deslandes,Andrea; Maciel-Pinheiro,Paulo de Tarso; Corrêa,Humberto; Laks,JersonABSTRACT Objective Major depression have been associated with cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) changes in old depressed patients. We examined the association between depression, cortisol, and DHEA, correcting for confounding variables, including physical capacity. In addition, the association between hormone levels and physical capacity in these two experimental groups was also analyzed. Method Depres...
Assessing cardiorespiratory capacity in older adults with major depression and ...
Zanco,Marcos Felipe; Moraes,Helena; Maranhão Neto,Geraldo; Laks,Jerson; Deslandes,Andrea CamazABSTRACT Objective To assess cardiorespiratory capacity through subjective and objective tests in older adults diagnosed with major depression (MDD), Alzheimer disease (AD) and healthy older adults. Methods Fifty seven subjects (72 ± 7.9 years) were divided into three groups: MDD (n = 20), AD (n = 17) and Healthy (n = 20). The subjects answered Hamilton Scale (HAM-D), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Veter...
CARGA INTERNA DE TREINAMENTO E RESPOSTAS COMPORTAMENTAIS EM JOVENS GINASTAS
Antualpa,Kizzy Fernandes; Moraes,Helena; Schiavon,Laurita Marconi; Arruda,Ademir Felipe Schultz de; Moreira,AlexandreObjetivo deste estudo foi investigar a dinâmica da CIT (via método da PSE da sessão), da tolerância ao estresse (TE para fontes e sintomas; questionário DALDA) e dos sintomas de infecção do trato respiratório superior (ITRS; questionário WURSS-21) em 28 jovens ginastas (10,7 ± 1,3 anos), durante 8 semanas. Observou-se maior CIT (p< 0,001), menor TE (fontes, p=0,032) para o período com competição comparado ao pe...
Treadmill training as an augmentation treatment for Alzheimer?s disease: a pilo...
Arcoverde,Cynthia; Deslandes,Andrea; Moraes,Helena; Almeida,Cloyra; Araujo,Narahyana Bom de; Vasques,Paulo Eduardo; Silveira,Heitor; Laks,JersonObjective To assess the effect of aerobic exercise on the cognition and functional capacity in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. Method Elderly (n=20) with mild dementia (NINCDS-ADRDA/CDR1) were randomly assigned to an exercise group (EG) on a treadmill (30 minutes, twice a week and moderate intensity of 60% VO2max) and control group (GC) 10 patients. The primary outcome measure was the cognitive function usin...
Impact of physical exercise on quality of life of older adults with depression ...
Tavares,Bianca Boscarino; Moraes,Helena; Deslandes,Andrea Camaz; Laks,JersonINTRODUCTION: Physical exercise has been associated with improvement of quality of live (QoL), but its effect among the elderly with depression and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is still unclear. This systematic review evaluated randomized and controlled studies about the effect of physical exercise on QoL of older individuals with a clinical diagnosis of depression and AD.METHODS:We searched PubMed, ISI, SciELO and...
Effects of motor and cognitive dual-task performance in depressive elderly, hea...
Moraes,Helena; Deslandes,Andrea; Silveira,Heitor; Arcoverde,Cynthia; Alve,Heloisa; Laks,JersonAbstract Impairments in dual-task performance can be observed in healthy older adults when motor and cognitive assignments are applied simultaneously. According to the hypofrontality hypothesis, there may be a reduction in frontal cognitive function during exercise. Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare the performance changes on cognitive tests of depressive elderly (n=10), healthy older adult...
Beta and alpha electroencephalographic activity changes after acute exercise
Moraes,Helena; Ferreira,Camila; Deslandes,Andréa; Cagy,Mauricio; Pompeu,Fernando; Ribeiro,Pedro; Piedade,RobertoExercise has been widely related to changes in cortical activation and enhanced brain functioning. Quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) is frequently used to investigate normal and pathological conditions in the brain cortex. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to observe absolute power alterations in beta and alpha frequency bands after a maximal effort exercise. Ten healthy young volunteers were...

Moraes,Helena; Deslandes,Andréa; Ferreira,Camila; Pompeu,Fernando A. M. S.; Ribeiro,Pedro; Laks,JersonOBJETIVOS: Revisar a literatura quanto (I) ao possível efeito protetor do exercício físico sobre a incidência de depressão e (II) à eficácia do exercício físico como intervenção no tratamento da depressão. MÉTODO: Revisão sistemática de artigos em inglês e português nas bases ISI, PubMed, SciELO e LILACS de janeiro de 1993 a maio de 2006, utilizando conjuntamente os termos "depressão", "idosos" e "exercício". A...
The relation between EEG prefrontal asymmetry and subjective feelings of mood f...
Ferreira,Camila; Deslandes,Andréa; Moraes,Helena; Cagy,Maurício; Basile,Luiz Fernando; Piedade,Roberto; Ribeiro,PedroSeveral studies have investigated the relationship between asymmetrical EEG activity over the frontal cortex and mood. This study aimed at investigating the association between state fluctuations in frontal alpha EEG asymmetry and state changes followed by 24 h of sleep deprivation (SD). Our results show that sleep deprivation caused a significant alteration in the asymmetry values. Activation shifted from the ...
Electroencephalographic changes after one nigth of sleep deprivation
Ferreira,Camila; Deslandes,Andréa; Moraes,Helena; Cagy,Maurício; Pompeu,Fernando; Basile,Luis Fernando; Piedade,Roberto; Ribeiro,PedroTotal or partial sleep deprivation (SD) causes degrading effects on different cognitive and psychomotor functions that might be related to electrophysiological changes frequently observed. In the present study, we investigated the effects of one night of sleep deprivation on waking EEG. Experimental protocol consisted of recording electroencephalographic data from eleven healthy young subjects before (baseline)...
