Modulação Autonômica Cardíaca é Fator Chave para Pressão Alta em Adolescentes
Macêdo,Sara Raquel Dutra; Silva-Filho,Antonio Carlos; Vieira,Adeilson Serra Mendes; Soares Junior,Nivaldo de Jesus; Dias,Carlos JoséResumo Fundamento O interesse pela hipertensão em crianças e adolescentes aumentou desde a atualização do sistema de classificação da pressão arterial para comparar com o sistema de classificação dos adultos, alterando a terminologia de “normal alta” para “pré-hipertensão”. Objetivo O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a associação da modulação autonômica cardíaca com os níveis pressóricos dos adolescentes. Mét...
THE USE OF PROPRIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION FOR INCREASING THROWING PE...
Nobre,Thatiana Lacerda; Rocha,Leandro Yanase; Ramos,Carla Cristina; Mazuchi,Flávia de Andrade e Souza; Carbone,Patrícia Oliva; Madureira,DianaABSTRACT Introduction Throwing is considered the most important technical skill in Handball. However, it requires the athlete to perform this movement with maximum speed and accuracy, as it can define the final score of the game. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, known as the Kabat method, on the throwing performance of handball athletes. Me...
Estimated intensity and acute cardiovascular response to a single exercise sess...
Vieira,Adeilson Serra Mendes; Silva-Filho,Antonio Carlos; Dutra-Macêdo,Sara Raquel; Dias,Carlos José; Rodrigues,Bruno; Mostarda,Cristiano TeixeiraAbstract Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of an exercise session prescribed by the Sworkit® Personal Trainer application on hemodynamic and autonomic responses. Methods: The sample consisted of 11 men classified as sedentary according to IPAQ. The exercises were randomly selected by the app Sworkit® Personal Trainer, using the pre-built program "Light Warm-Up Cardio" (see supplementa...
A direct comparison of the performance of public-private partnerships with that...
Rodrigues,Bruno; Zucco,CesarAbstract This paper assesses the city of Belo Horizonte’s experience building school infrastructure through public-private partnerships (PPPs). Between 2009 and 2015, Belo Horizonte built very similar schools using both PPPs and traditional public contracting (TPC). As the choice of mode of contracting was unrelated to our outcomes of interest, the experience constitutes a quasi-experiment that allows for a sim...
Impacts of low or vigorous levels of physical activity on body composition, hem...
Cunha,Antonio Silva; Silva-Filho,Antonio Carlos; Dias,Carlos José; Durans,Rafael; Brito-Monzani,Janaína de Oliveira; Rodrigues,BrunoAbstract Aim We aimed to evaluate the effect of low and vigorous levels of physical activity in body composition, hemodynamics and autonomic modulation in subjects with Down syndrome (DS). METHODS We evaluated 13 healthy subjects without DS (control group), 15 sedentary subjects with DS, (SED DS group), nine with DS with low intensity levels of physical activity (LIDS) and 12 with DS with vigorous levels of phy...
Time-course of health-related adaptations in response to combined training in h...
Sardeli,Amanda V.; Gáspari,Arthur F.; Santos,Wellington M. dos; Moraes,Daisa Fabiele G.; Gadelha,Victor B.; Santos,Lucas do C.; Ferreira,Marina Lívia V.Abstract Aims: This article is a methodological description of a randomized clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov U1111-1181-4455) aiming to evaluate the time-course (monthly) and associations between blood pressure changes and other health-related adaptations in response to exercise training in hypertensive elderly. Methods: The patients will be randomized to a control or combined training group interventions (ae...
Atypical renal presentation of antiphospholipid Syndrome
Gaspar,Ana; Manso,Rita; Pereira,Fernando; Cunha,Liliana; Inchaustegui,Luís; Serra,Adelaide; Rodrigues,Bruno; Correia,PedroAntiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a systemic autoimmune disease which can occur as a primary disease or in association with other autoimmune diseases, the most frequent being Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Although renal manifestations of SLE are well known, antiphospholipid syndrome renal manifestations such as antiphospholipid syndrome nephropathy and glomerulopathies have yet to be better characterized...
Exercise training on cardiovascular diseases: Role of animal models in the eluc...
Rodrigues,Bruno; Feriani,Daniele Jardim; Gambassi,Bruno Bavaresco; Irigoyen,Maria Claudia; Angelis,Kátia De; Hélio José Júnior,CoelhoAbstract Cardiovascular diseases, which include hypertension, coronary artery disease/myocardial infarction and heart failure, are one of the major causes of disability and death worldwide. On the other hand, physical exercise acts in the preventionand treatment of these conditions. In fact, several experiments performed in human beings have demonstrated the efficiency of physical exercise to alter clinical sig...
The importance of animal studies in Exercise Science
Angelis,Kátia De; Rodrigues,Bruno; Zanesco,Angelina; Oliveira,Edilamar Menezes de; Evangelista,Fabiana de Santa`Anna; Coelho Junior,Helio JoseAbstract The validity and relevance of research with animals for the development of knowledge in Exercise Science have for long been discussed. Given the complexity of the biological systems, the use of animal models offers a significant contribution to uncover new findings about acute and chronic effects of exercise, particularly when these studies in humans have limitations and ethical implications. There hav...
Acute Heart Failure Registry: Risk Assessment Model in Decompensated Heart Failure
Delgado,Anne; Rodrigues,Bruno; Nunes,Sara; Baptista,Rui; Marmelo,Bruno; Moreira,Davide; Gama,Pedro; Nunes,Luís; Santos,Oliveira; Cabral,CostaAbstract Background: Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent syndrome. Although the long-term prognostic factors have been identified in chronic HF, this information is scarcer with respect to patients with acute HF. despite available data in the literature on long-term prognostic factors in chronic HF, data on acute HF patients are more scarce. Objectives: To develop a predictor of unfavorable prognostic even...
