Influence of the hydration on autonomic modulation and cardiorespiratory parameters of coronary heart disease patients submitted to a cardiovascular rehabilitation session: crossover clinical trial protocol

Motriz (Online); 26 (1), 2020
Abstract Aims: The influence of fluid replacement, realized during and after the exercise on individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD) remains poorly understood. To investigate the influence of hydration on cardiac autonomic modulation, cardiorespiratory parameters and perceived exertion and discom...

Blood glucose threshold determination is stage length dependent

Motriz (Online); 26 (1), 2020
Aim: This study aimed to verify whether different stage length affects the intensity of the Blood Glucose Threshold (BGT), and the agreement between evaluators for BGT determination. Methods: Fourteen subjects attended the laboratory during the first session to perform anthropometric measures and become...

Heart rate responses of a master athlete during ultra-endurance swimming

Motriz (Online); 26 (1), 2020
Abstract Aim: Swimming races outside swimming pools take place all over the world, but studies focusing on their physiological aspects are scarce. In fact, rules forbid any direct contact with swimmers during sanctioned events. This case report presents heart rate responses of a master athlete during an...

Performance comparison in the Wingate test between standing and seated positions in competitive cyclists

Motriz (Online); 26 (2), 2020
Abstract Aims: The current study aimed to compare the anaerobic power output through the Wingate test in different positions, i.e., standing and seated, and identify the relationship between power-output and body mass. Methods: Eleven male competitive cyclists (age: 30.3 ± 4.7 years; body mass: 73.7 �...

Exercise Training Improves Heart Rate Recovery after Exercise in Hypertension

Motriz (Online); 25 (1), 2019
Abstract Aim: This study tested the hypothesis that: 1- the exercise training would improve the heart rate recovery (HRR) decline after maximal exercise test in hypertensive patients and; 2- the exercise training would normalize HRR decline when compared to normotensive individuals. Methods: Sixteen ...

Evaluation of maximal lactate steady state in middle-aged hypertensive women

Motriz (Online); 24 (2), 2018
Abstract AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the lactate response in physically inactive hypertensive women submitted to the treadmill maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) protocol. METHODS Twenty-two hypertensive women (40 - 64 years) performed a familiarization period of walking on the treadm...

Evaluación de la actividad física en pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica

Rev. méd. Chile; 145 (12), 2017
The prevalence and mortality of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is increasing in Chile, constituting a public health problem. Pulmonary and systemic consequences of COPD affect physical activity, as the disease progresses. There are multiple means for physical activity assessment, from low c...

Acta fisiátrica; 23 (4), 2016
Objetivo: Correlacionar a força muscular respiratória e a capacidade funcional em pacientes com FC. Métodos: Estudo transversal em adultos com fibrose cística. Os dados amostrais foram catalogados no Microsoft Office Excel 2007 e as variáveis analisadas pelo SPSS versão 20.0 através do teste t de ...

Como determinar a velocidade inicial da esteira no treinamento aeróbio de hemiparéticos crônicos?

Acta fisiátrica; 23 (1), 2016
Objetivo: Investigar os critérios para estabelecer a velocidade inicial da esteira e viabilizar um treinamento motor funcional ou cardiorrespiratório em hemiparéticos crônicos. Métodos: Foram recrutados 15 hemiparéticos crônicos determinados pelo Lower Extremity Motor Coordination Test (LEMOCOT) e...

Screening for physical inactivity among adults: the value of distance walked in the six-minute walk test. A cross-sectional diagnostic study

Säo Paulo med. j; 134 (1), 2016
ABSTRACT: CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES: Accelerometry provides objective measurement of physical activity levels, but is unfeasible in clinical practice. Thus, we aimed to identify physical fitness tests capable of predicting physical inactivity among adults. DESIGN AND SETTING: Diagnostic test study devel...
