Introdução: Cuidados paliativos são descritos como um conjunto de terapêuticas que visam minimizar as implicações negativas das
doenças graves que ameaçam a vida e o bem-estar do indivíduo acometido. A progressão da doença e a sintomatologia provocam uma
deterioração gradual e generalizada d...
Uma das alternativas para manter o idoso ativo a fim de melhorar as capacidades funcionais e a qualidade de vida (QV) é o treinamento de força (TF). Porém, existem variáveis que devem ser consideradas na prescrição do TF como a velocidade de movimento. O objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar uma...

Abstract Aim: To contrast the acute effects of whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) with sham associated with dynamic exercises on cardiovascular, ventilatory, metabolic, and autonomic responses in men with obesity and controls. Methods: A randomized cross-over and double-blind trial with nine eut...
Resumen A pesar de la amplia evidencia científica de los beneficios de la Rehabilitación Cardiaca (RC) a nivel mundial, la investigación en Costa Rica en esta área continúa siendo escasa. Objetivo: Presentar la evidencia científica de las investigaciones realizadas por programas de RC en Costa Rica...
Introduction: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) causes changes in the
respiratory musculature that affects functional capacity and postoperative
complications (POC). Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is a tool used for these
patients, but it is not known what the best form is to increase strength. O...

Abstract Background Resistance training is effective in cardiac rehabilitation; however, it is conventionally performed using free weights or machines, which can pose logistic challenges to patients with restricted mobility. For its ease of access and cost-effectiveness, elastic tubing is a particularly...
Abstract Introduction: Obesity, characterized by the accumulation of excess body fat, can alter respiratory mechanics and compromise functional capacity. Given its increasing prevalence and the significant morbidity associated with the condition, it is important to investigate techniques that enable ra...
Abstract Aims: Patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy (ChC) could have a significant reduction in functional capacity (FC). This study aimed to report the effect of a 24-week combined physical exercise program on the FC of a patient with ChC. Methods: A woman, 44 years old, with positive serology for ChC ...
RESUMEN La fibrilación auricular (FA), epidemia esperada en las próximas décadas, es comúnmente causada por la cardiopatía isquémica y la hipertensión arterial, también se asocia con el sobrepeso y la obesidad. El ejercicio físico (EF) se considera una medida que corrige los factores de riesgo c...
