Mental fatigue does not affect heart rate recovery but impairs performance in handball players

Rev. bras. med. esporte; 24 (5), 2018
INTRODUCTION: This study involved an analysis of the impact of mental fatigue on heart rate recovery (HRR), subjective measures of fatigue and intermittent running performance in handball players. OBJECTIVE: This study was aimed at (1) examining the effects of an induced state of mental fatigue on the ae...

Diagnosis of overtraining syndrome

Rev. bras. med. esporte; 24 (5), 2018
Overtraining syndrome (OTS) is a condition associated with diminished sports performance due to an increase in the volume and/or intensity of physical activity without adequate rest, and/or due to an inadequate diet. The condition often involves hormonal, nutritional, emotional, muscle, immune and neurol...

Effects of high-intensity inspiratory muscle training associated with aerobic exercise in patients undergoing cabg: randomized clinical trial

Abstract Objective: Evaluate the interaction between high-intensity inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and aerobic exercise on physical capacity, respiratory muscle strength, peripheral muscle strength, and quality of life of patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: Twenty...

Correlation of lung function and respiratory muscle strength with functional exercise capacity in obese individuals with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

J. bras. pneumol; 44 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate lung function and inspiratory muscle strength, correlating them with exercise tolerance, in obese individuals with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Methods: The sample comprised 31 adult subjects with moderate-to-severe OSAS diagnosed by polysomnography. We used ...

Tolerância ao exercício, função pulmonar, força muscular respiratória e qualidade de vida em crianças e adolescentes com cardiopatia reumática

RESUMO Objetivo: Apesar da alta prevalência de cardiopatia reumática no nosso país, a ocorrência de prejuízos funcionais em crianças e adolescentes com cardiopatia reumática não está esclarecida. Este estudo visou avaliar tolerância ao exercício, força muscular respiratória, função pulmo...

Safety and Efficacy of Aerobic Exercise Training Associated to Non-Invasive Ventilation in Patients with Acute Heart Failure

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (5), 2018
Abstract Background: Exercise training (ET) improves functional capacity in chronic heart failure (HF). However, ET effects in acute HF are unknown. Objective: To investigate the effects of ET alone or combined with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) compared with standard medical treatment during hospitali...

Echocardiographic Assessment of Ventricular Function in Young Patients with Asthma

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (3), 2018
Abstract Background: Despite significant advances in understanding the pathophysiology and management of asthma, some of systemic effects of asthma are still not well defined. Objectives: To compare heart function, baseline physical activity level, and functional exercise capacity in young patients w...

El oxígeno suplementario no fue útil en personas con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica con desaturación moderada

Nitrogen single-breath washout test for evaluating exercise tolerance and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (4), 2018
Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) traditionally used in clinical practice do not accurately predict exercise intolerance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study was to assess whether the nitrogen single-breath washout (N2SBW) test explains exercise intolerance a...
