Rev. Nutr. (Online); 35 (), 2022
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the nutritional and functional status, swallowing disorders, and musculoskeletal manifestations of patients with Post-Covid-19 Syndrome, stratified by the Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass Index. Methods This is a cross-sectional study with patients diagnosed with Post-Co...

Decrease in skeletal muscle index one year after radical cystectomy as a prognostic indicator in patients with urothelial bladder cancer

Int. braz. j. urol; 45 (4), 2019
ABSTRACT Purpose The present study aimed to determine whether sarcopenia after radical cystectomy (RC) could predict overall survival (OS) in patients with urothelial bladder cancer (UBC). Materials and Methods The lumbar skeletal muscle index (SMI) of 80 patients was measured before and 1 year after...

Elevated serum Activin A in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with skeletal muscle wasting

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVE: Muscle wasting contributes to the reduced quality of life and increased mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Muscle atrophy in mice with cachexia was caused by Activin A binding to ActRIIB. The role of circulating Activin A leading to muscle atrophy in COPD remains elusiv...

Effects of physical exercise on skeletal muscles of rats with cerebral ischemia

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (12), 2019
Physical exercise is a known preventive and therapeutic alternative for several cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the motor performance and histomorphometry of the biceps brachii, soleus, and tibialis anterior muscles of rats submitted to a treadmill ...

Tai Chi exercise and functional electrical stimulation of lower limb muscles for rehabilitation in older adults with chronic systolic heart failure: a non-randomized clinical trial

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (12), 2019
Exercise-based training decreases hospitalizations in heart failure patients but such patients have exercise intolerance. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of Tai Chi exercise and lower limb muscles' functional electrical stimulation in older chronic heart failure adults...

Muscle changes with high-intensity aerobic training in an animal model of renal disease

Acta cir. bras; 34 (5), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To analyze the muscle changes with high-intensity aerobic training (HIAT) in an animal model of renal disease (RD). Methods: Twenty one adult Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups: healthy sedentary (HS), RD sedentary (RDS), RD aerobic training (RDAT). RDS and RDAT were subjected to ...

Football training session rises creatine kinase but does not impair performance

Motriz (Online); 25 (3), 2019
Aim: Determine the relationship between changes in oxidative stress markers, muscle damage, DOMS, and their relationship with performance in response to a session of football training during a 1-week recovery period of young football players. Methods: Nineteen young football players aged 16.7±1.0 yea...

Efectos de un entrenamiento de miembro inferior con restricción parcial del flujo sanguíneo en la fuerza muscular y biomarcadores sistémicos de daño muscular e inflamación

Int. j. morphol; 36 (4), 2018
El entrenamiento de fuerza, especialmente con alta intensidad de carga, permite aumentar la fuerza y trofismo muscular, pero también se asocia a daño muscular inducido por ejercicio (DMIE). Una nueva modalidad de entrenamiento, combina una baja intensidad de carga con la restricción parcial del flujo ...

Cryotherapy: biochemical alterations involved in reduction of damage induced by exhaustive exercise

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (11), 2018
When exercises are done in intense or exhaustive modes, several acute biochemical mechanisms are triggered. The use of cryotherapy as cold-water immersion is largely used to accelerate the process of muscular recovery based on its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The present study aimed to stu...
