Angiotensin‑(1‑7) (Ang‑[1‑7]) can modulate glucose metabolism and protect against muscular damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of lifetime increase of circulating levels of Ang‑(1‑7) at exhaustive swimming exercise (ESE). Sprague‑Dawley (SD) and transgenic rats TGR(A1‑7)3292 (TR) which overproduce Ang‑(1‑7) (2.5‑fold increase) were submitted to ESE. The data showed no differences in t...
Objective To study the relationship between exercise and malnourishment because recent evidence suggests that exercise can cause the benefi cial adaptation of antioxidant systems, whereas malnourishment can cause harmful adaptation of these systems. Methods Thirty-two female Fischer rats were equally divided into Sedentary Control, Trained Control, Sedentary Malnourished and Trained Malnourished groups. The tra...
O objetivo do trabalho foi investigar a percepção dos professores de Educação Física sobre a ocorrência de bullying nas escolas que atuam e elencar as ações utilizadas para prevenir o problema. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo que utilizou como instrumento uma entrevista semiestruturada. Com base nos resultados é possível afirmar que as escolas não assumem o compromisso de planejar e aplicar estratégias que po...
Endurance exercise is a remarkable intervention for the treatment of many diseases. Mitochondrial changes on skeletal muscle are likely important for many of the benefits provided by exercise. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects that a regular physical activity (swimming without workload) has on mitochondrial morphological alterations and glucometabolic parameters induced by a high-sugar diet (HSD)....
The aims of the study were: 1) to analyze the exercise intensity in several phases (six phases of 15 min) of soccer matches; 2) to compare the match time spent above anaerobic threshold (AT) between different age groups (U-17 and U-20); and 3) to compare the match time spent above AT between players’ positions (backs, midfielders, forwards and wingabcks). Forty-four male soccer players were analyzed. To express...
The aim of this study was to analyze the responses of creatine kinase [CK] expressed in different forms to the training load of professional soccer players during a competitive season. Twelve players (age, 24 ± 4 years) participated in the study. [CK] was analyzed before the pre-season (Pre), after the pre-season (Post), and in the competitive mesocycles (M1, M2, and M3). Results showed [CK] in the Pre, Post, M...
Ganho de força, aumento da massa muscular, aumento da capacidade aeróbia, redução da gordura corporal, redução da fadiga, rápida recuperação e outros fatores que melhorem o desempenho físico esportivo são objetivos comuns entre atletas. Suplementos hidroeletrolíticos, energéticos e proteicos compõem três grandes grupos de alimentos amplamente utilizados por atletas, e a Agência Mundial Antidoping (WADA) regulam...
Exercise intensity monitoring has been essential for the control and planning of sports training. Thus, the aim of the present study was to assess the chronic physiological demand of soccer players during an annual soccer season using blood biomarkers. Ten professional soccer players (21.2 ± 3.7 years) participated in this study. Blood samples were collected on the day before beginning of preseason (C1); at the...
O objetivo foi avaliar o comportamento da pressão arterial utilizando testes máximos aeróbicos e anaeróbicos em ATs (AT) e indivíduos FAs (FT). Caracterizou-se como crossover, no qual todos os voluntários foram submetidos, de forma aleatória (sorteio), a todas as condições experimentais, sendo eles controles deles mesmos. Participaram da pesquisa 12 indivíduos sendo 6 FT e 6 AT de ciclismo. Os sujeitos foram su...
Low angiotensin-(1–7) (Ang-(1–7)) concentration is observed in some cardiovascular diseases and exer-cise training seems to restore its concentration in the heart. Recently, a novel formulation of an orallyactive Ang-(1–7) included in hydroxy-propyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPB-CD) was developed and chronicallyadministered in experimental models of cardiovascular diseases. The present study examined whetherchronic ad...
