- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Effect of Continuous and Interval Physical Exercise on Weight and Biochemical Profile of Pregnant Wistar Rats and Consequences on Fetal Body Weight(Soc Brasileira Med Esporte, 2011-11-01) Barbalho, Sandra Maria; Souza, Maricelma da Silva Soares de; Silva, Julio Cesar de Paula e; Coqueiro, Daniel Pereira [UNIFESP]; Oliveira, Gabriela Aparecida de; Costa, Tainara; Oshiiwa, Marie; Univ Marilia; Fac Tecnol Alimentos Marilia; UNESP; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Exercise training is known for its benefits to the body and mind. However, little is known about the effects of endurance training intensity on pregnancy. We tested the effects of continuous and intermittent exercises (maternal swimming) on the biochemical profile of pregnant Wistar rats and the effects of these exercises on the fetal body weight. The pregnant females (n=60) were divided in control group (GC), continuous exercise group (GCON) and intermittent exercise group (GIN). GC group rats did not practice exercises. GON group rats practiced continuous swimming for 45 minutes a day (five days a week) carrying a bag with 5% of its body weight. GIN group rats practiced intermittent swimming (15 seconds of swimming and 15 seconds stopped) for 45 minutes a day (five days a week) carrying a bag with 15% of its body weight. These exercises were made from the day one until 20(0) day of pregnancy. At the end of this period, we analyzed the mother's glycemia, cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C and triglycerides. We also analyzed fetal body weight. No significant modifications on glycemia and plasma lipids (except for LDL-C) were observed in the tree groups. We observed reduction on the fetal body weight in the pups that had their mothers practicing exercises: fetal body weight in GC > GIN > GON (4,153 +/- 0,649; 3,682 +/- 0,070 and 3,453 +/- 0,052 respectively). These results showed that the continuous and intermittent exercise only performed in pregnancy period decreases fetus body weight.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosEffectiveness and Safety of Hypertonic Saline Inhalation Combined With Exercise Training in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Randomized Trial(Daedalus Enterprises Inc, 2009-03-01) Valderramas, Silvia Regina [UNIFESP]; Atallah, Álvaro Nagib [UNIFESP]; Evangel Univ Parana; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Brasilian Cochrane CtrBACKGROUND: Inhaled hypertonic saline is used for bronchial challenge and sputum induction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We studied the effects of saline aerosol inhalation before each exercise session in an 8-week pulmonary rehabilitation program. METHODS: This was a double-blind randomized parallel controlled trial, conducted at an outpatient clinic. Sixty-eight subjects with COPD (mean age 67 +/- 6.5 y, percent of predicted FEV(1) 47 +/- 21) were randomized to inhale either 3% hypertonic saline (34 subjects) or normal saline (34 subjects) before each exercise session in an 8-week exercise program that had 3 sessions per week. We measured 6-min walk distance, dyspnea, and quality of life (with the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item short-form health survey). RESULTS: After the 8-week exercise program, both groups' mean 6-min walk distance had significantly increased: from 195 +/- 92 m to 251 +/- 97 m (P <.001) in the hypertonic-saline group, and from 237 +/- 93 m to 441 +/- 121 m in the normal-saline group (P <.001). The normal-saline group had greater improvement than the hypertonic-saline group (P <.001). Dyspnea score improved from 3.1 +/- 0.9 to 2.3 +/- 0.8 (P <.01) in the hypertonic-saline group, and from 3.5 +/- 0.2 to 2.3 +/- 1.0 (P <.01) in the normal-saline group. Quality of life also significantly improved, except for the physical-functioning and social aspect domains in the hypertonic-saline group. Adverse effects (cough or bronchospasm) occurred in 4 patients (12%) in the hypertonic-saline group. CONCLUSIONS: The improvement in 6-min walk distance was greater with normal saline than with hypertonic saline. Hypertonic saline was associated with adverse effects. It is unclear whether the only predictor of improved functional exercise capacity was exercise training.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Eletromyography of abdominal muscles in different physical exercises: An update protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2018) Fidale, Thiago Montes; Borges, Felipe Farnesi Ribeiro; Roever, Leonardo; Souza, Gilmar da Cunha; Goncalves, Alexandre; Chacur, Eduardo Paul; Pimenta, Cristhyano; Haddad, Eduardo Gasparetto; Agostini, Guilherme Gularte de; Gregorio, Fabio Clemente; Guimaraes, Fabricio Cardoso Ribeiro; Arantes, Franciel Jose; Santos, Lazaro Antonio dos; Pereira, Adriano Alves; Antunes, Hanna Karen Moreira [UNIFESP]; Puga, Guilherme Morais; Lizardo, Frederico BalbinoBackground:The abdominal muscles are extremely important because they are directly involved in the functions of support, containment of viscera, and help in the process of expiration, defecation, urination, vomiting, and also at the time of childbirth. Many exercises and equipment are used to strengthen the abdominal muscles, and the workouts are proposed for a variety of purposes, such as preventing and rehabilitating low back pain, improving sports performance, achieving aesthetic standards, among others. Exercises that potentiate the electromyographic activity promote a greater recruitment of muscle fibers and are more effective to improve or maintain of the force. The electromyographic activity analysis allows us to reflect on the quality of the exercises proposed, consequently, to choose and order the exercises properly in a training session.Methods:Our systematic review protocol will developed following the reporting items for the systematic review. To identify relevant studies, we sought articles on the following bases: MEDLINE, PubMed, Europubmed, SciELO, Physiotherapy Evidences Data Base (PEDro), Cochrane, and Google Scholar. The methodological quality of the studies included in the review will evaluated using a checklist and quality assessment. For intervention studies, risk of bias will estimated using the Cochrane Collaboration tool.Results:The results of this study will show the electromyographic activation of the abdomen in the different types of exercises.Conclusion:Ethics approval was not required for this study because it was based on published studies. The results and findings of this study will be submitted and published in a scientific peer-reviewed journal.Systematic review registration:PROSPERO CRD42018086172.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosThe influence of the initiation of an exercise programme on seroma formation and dehiscence following breast cancer surgery(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-11-01) Petito, Eliana L. [UNIFESP]; Esteves, Marcella T. [UNIFESP]; Elias, Simone [UNIFESP]; Facina, Gil [UNIFESP]; Nazario, Afonso C. P. [UNIFESP]; Gutierrez, Maria G. R. [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Aims and objectives. To verify whether early (first post-operative day) or late initiation (after removal of the continuous suction drain) of a functional rehabilitation exercise programme influences the incidence of seroma formation and dehiscence for women after breast cancer surgery.Background. Benefits of early implementation of an exercise programme initiated with women in the first days following breast cancer surgery are widely known. However, the safe initiation of the exercises is still a controversial issue and some authors correlate early initiation of the exercises with an increase in seroma formation.Design. A prospective, randomised, controlled clinical trial.Methods. Seventy-seven women were randomly assigned to initiate the programme on post-operative day 1 (early group = 40) or after removal of the drain (late group = 37) and were monitored until the 45th post-operative day. Patients in the early group were instructed to perform the exercises daily at home, beginning on post-operative day 1, while those of the late group began the exercises after the drain was removed. the assessment for seroma formation and dehiscence was performed on post-operative days 7 and 45.Results. There was no statistically significant difference regard to seroma formation between early group and late group. Also there was no association between the presence of dehiscence and early exercises.Conclusion. the early initiation of the exercises for women, following breast cancer surgery, constitutes a safe practice for the rehabilitation. However, these findings need to be further explored and confirmed in a larger sample.Relevance to clinical practice. Studies showing evidence that early functional rehabilitation process is a safe practice for women having surgery for breast cancer, as well as the present research, are of interest to health professionals who care for these patients and contribute to the wider global clinical community.
