Marques,Terezinha Sasaki; Heubel,Alessandro Domingues; Gimenes,Camila; Arca,Eduardo Aguilar; Pessoa-Santos,Bruna Varanda; Martinelli,BrunoABSTRACT Introduction: Regular physical activity prevents cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and atherosclerosis, in addition to improving lipid levels and functional capacity in older adults. Objective: To evaluate and compare the lipid levels, functional performance and ankle brachial index (ABI) of sedentary and active older adults. Methods: This was a comparative cross-sectional study with 84 elderly (≥60 years)...

After the expert committee approval, the pre-test version was applied in 40 parents of children with cerebral palsy in order to verify item comprehension. Twenty-one v...
The Borg CR-10 scale is suitable to quantify aerobic exercise intensity in wome...
Andrade,Carolina Pieroni; Zamunér,Antonio Roberto; Forti,Meire; França,Thalita Fonseca de; Silva,Ester daABSTRACT Patients with Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) report higher ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) compared to healthy individuals for the same exercise intensity; however, to our knowledge, no studies have evaluated RPE at the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) for this population. This study aimed to assess RPE using the Borg CR-10 scale during a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in women with FMS. Tw...

Forti,Meire; Zamunér,Antonio Roberto; Kunz,Vandeni Clarice; Salviati,Mariana Rodrigues; Nery,Tarcísio Augusto Gonçalves; Silva,Ester daThe study aimed to identify and compare the ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) at the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) in healthy subjects and patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). A total of 30 male subjects took part in the study and were divided into three groups: a control group (CG) composed of 10 healthy participants; a group composed of 10 participants diagnosed with CAD beta-blocker user (G...
