Modulación de marcadores de inflamación y estrés oxidativo en pacientes con diabetes tipo 1 y sobrepeso que participan en un programa de cambio de estilo de vida

Introduction: Reduction in the expression of inflammatory markers and oxidative stress associated with exercise will protect against cardiovascular complications in Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Aim: The aim of this study was evaluated cardiovascular fitness (VO2 Max), interleukin-6 (IL-6), monocyte chemo-attr...

Biocultural approach of the association between maturity and physical activity in youth

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 94 (6), 2018
Abstract Objective: To test the biocultural model through direct and indirect associations between biological maturation, adiposity, cardiorespiratory fitness, feelings of sadness, social relationships, and physical activity in adolescents. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted with 1,152...

Cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular fitness of federal highway police officers

Rev. bras. med. esporte; 24 (6), 2018
INTRODUCTION: Higher levels of physical fitness are associated with better quality of life and indicators of health and performance in police forces. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to describe and evaluate the level of cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular fitness of a national sample of federal highway patrol...

Prevalence of exercise intolerance in obese adults undergoing cardiopulmonary exercise testing

Abstract We hypothesized that the prevalence of exercise intolerance (EI, peak O2 uptake < 83%pred.) is not significantly affected by body mass index (BMI) in adults undergoing cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of EI and the influence of BMI in asymptomatic a...

Acute responses of high-intensity circuit training in women: Low physical fitness levels show higher muscle damage

High-intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) elicits large improvements in health and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). HIIE can be applied with calisthenics exercises to improve strength and endurance. The acute effects of high-intensity circuit training (HICT) considering different CRF on myological vari...

Relationship between aerobic capacity with Birth Weight and breastfeeding patterns in children: A cross-sectional study

Rev. Nutr. (Online); 31 (5), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective To analyze if aerobic capacity is related to Birth Weight and breastfeeding patterns in boys and girls, products of a term pregnancy and normal weight. Methods A representative sample of 230 Brazilian children (6-10 years old), born at term (after 37-weeks' gestation) with normal wei...

Jump gymnastic at school physical education for adolescents and adults: changes and prevalence of success in health-related physical fitness

This study aimed to verify changes and prevalence of success in health-related physical fitness after an intervention with jump gymnastic at physical education classes for adolescents and adults according to gender. Thirty-nine adolescents and adults (20 women) were selected for convenience, a...

Is cardiorespiratory optimal point measured during the maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test a relevant indicator of sports performance?

Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) and ventilatory threshold (VT) obtained during a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) are used in the evaluation of athletes. However, the identification of these variables may sometimes be unreliable, which limits their use. In contrast, the cardiorespiratory optimal p...

Ponto Ótimo Cardiorrespiratório em Futebolistas Profissionais: Uma Nova Variável Submáxima do Exercício

O consumo máximo de oxigênio (VO2max) e o limiar anaeróbico (LA) obtidos no teste cardiopulmonar de exercício (TCPE) são utilizados na avaliação de atletas. Todavia, dificuldades na identificação e mensuração dessas variáveis dificultam sua utilização prática. O ponto ótimo cardiorrespira...

Effects of Coexistence Hypertension and Type II Diabetes on Heart Rate Variability and Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Arq. bras. cardiol; 111 (1), 2018
Abstract Background: Type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is associated with cardiac autonomic dysfunction, which is an independent predictor of mortality in chronic diseases. However, whether the coexistence of systemic arterial hypertension (HTN) with DMT2 alters cardiac autonomic modulation remains unknow...
