title: INFLUENCE OF AEROBIC EXERCISE TRAINING ON SERUM MARKERS OF OXIDATIVE STRESS IN DIABETIC RATS

description: ABSTRACT To verify the effects of exercise on blood biomarkers of oxidative stress in diabetic rats, 40 rats Wistar, were distributed into four groups: control, diabetes, trained control and trained diabetes. Training was constituted of swimming 1 hour/day, 5 days/week for 8 weeks with intensity equivalents to minimum lactate. Diabetes was induced with intravenous alloxan (32 mg/kg). It was evaluated the following blood parameters: catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), Malondialdehyde (MDA), glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides and C-reactive-protein. Diabetes induced hyperglycemia, reduction in body mass, catalase and SOD activities and increased TBARs concentrations. Physical training, on the other hand, reduced blood glucose and cholesterol, increased body mass and blood catalase. SOD activity was lower in diabetic rats than control rats and physical training was able to recovery this parameter. The other parameters showed no differences. In conclusion, physical exercise protocol contributes in controlling blood glucose, and ameliorates oxidative stress by increasing catalase levels and recovery SOD activity.

title: EFFECTS OF TRANSITION FROM SUPERVISED CARDIAC REHABILITATION PROGRAM TO UNSUPERVISED IN INDIVIDUALS WITH HEART DISEASES

description: ABSTRACT Many post-surgical patients after coronary artery bypass who are eligible for cardiac rehabilitation are not being attended. Progression in the centers which deliver the rehabilitation is important, so that others may benefit from treatment. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible effects of transition froma program of supervised cardiac rehabilitation (Phase III) to unsupervised (Phase IV), for two months, on functional capacity, heart rate variability (HRV) and cardiometabolic parameters of individuals with a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. In total, 10 individuals were evaluated,who had been on the Phase III cardiac rehabilitation program for at least six months and who were eligible for unsupervised rehabilitation. The parameters analyzed were functional capacity, HRV, blood pressure, blood glucose, waist-hip ratio and body mass index. Individuals undergoing unsupervised activities for two months presented no significant changes in the evaluated parameters. The cardiovascular and functional adaptations achieved in Phase III were maintained in Phase IV and should be encouraged for individuals at low cardiovascular risk who demonstrated benefits in Phase III.

title: VARIAÇÃO DIURNA ENTRE MATUTINOS E VESPERTINOS NOS TEMPOS DE REAÇÃO SIMPLES E DE MOVIMENTO

description: ABSTRACT The circadian rhythm of motor performance is synchronized to the body temperature rhythm, with highest values occurring in the afternoon, and to the sleep-wake cycle, with individual preferences of sleep-onset and wake-up times. The aim of this study was to determine whether differences between the preferences of hours of sleep and wake (morningness-eveningness) have an impact on reaction times (RT) and motion (TM) measured in the early morning and late afternoon. Forty students, 20 morning-types and 20 evening-types, performed by the morning and by the afternoon a key-pressing task with measures of simple reaction time and movement time. According to the results, both morning-types and evening-types showed lower simple reaction times in the afternoon as compared to values in the morning and morning-types obtained lower movement times than evening-types, both in the morning and in the afternoon. Thus, it can be concluded that morningness-eveningness influenced the movement time, but not the simple reaction time.

title: ANTHROPOMETRIC INDICATORS AND MOTOR PERFORMANCE IN MANAUARAS PUPILS (AMAZONAS STATE - BRAZIL)

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the anthropometric indicators and motor performance in young school. The variables selected were: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), ratio waist / height (RCEst) and Motor Performance (DM). For performance evaluation we used the Body Coordination Test for Children (Körperkoordinationstest für Kinder - KTK). Data were analyzed from the descriptive and inferential statistics with p ≤0,05. Comparing DM relative to the weight status we observed significant differences between the overweight group and normal weight (p = 0.000) and underweight groups (p = 0.006). Comparing DM between groups in CC and RCEst variables were observed significant differences between normal groups (97.07 ± 12.87 and 97.50 ± 13.25 respectively) and health risk (92.26 ± 10.5 and 92.00 ± 9.58) (p = 0.001) (p = 0.000) respectivel . Thus, it can be to argued that changes in anthropometric indicators affect the DM of young school.

title: ARE THE HABITUAL PRACTICE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, DIETARY HABITS, ANTHROPOMETRIC INDICATORS, AND AUTONOMIC MODULATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE PREVALENCE OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the prevalence and association between high blood pressure, general and abdominal obesity, indicators of autonomic activity, habitual physical activity, and dietary habits in public schools in Londrina / PR. Methods: 189 subjects were evaluated (75 males and 114 females), 10-17 years. Assessment of habitual physical activity and dietary habits was performed. Anthropometric measurements were performed, in addition to measurement of resting blood pressure and heart rate variability. The chi-square test was used to assess associations between blood pressure (dependent variable) and other variables. Those that were significantly associated were submitted to Poisson regression to identify the magnitude of the association. Results: Individuals with "abdominal obesity" were 2.3 times more likely (P = 0.002) to present high blood pressure. Conclusion: Individuals with abdominal obesity are approximately twice as likely to have high blood pressure, independent of obesity levels, which in turn, are not associated with increased blood pressure.

title: EFFECTS OF HIGH INTENSITY ACUTE RESISTANCE EXERCISE ON BLOOD GLUCOSE AND INSULIN SENSITIVITY IN RATS WITH INSULIN RESISTANCE

description: ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to evaluate the acute resistance exercise on glucose metabolism in animals with insulin resistance. 30 Wistar rats were divided into three groups: control (CON), Dexamethasone Sedentary (DS) and dexamethasone + exercise (DE). Resistance exercise was conducted in the squat machine consisting of five sets, 10 repetitions, with intensity of 70% of 1RM. Concurrently, the DS and DE groups received daily intraperitoneal dexamethasone (4.0mg / kg). The body weight, glycemia and insulin sensitivity test were measured in all groups. One single resistance exercise session reduced blood glucose levels and improved insulin sensitivity. The DT group showed a lower area under the curve when compared to the DS group. The high intensity acute resistance exercise promoted a reduction of blood glucose levels and improved insulin sensitivity in rats with insulin resistance dexamethasone- induced.

title: TACTICAL BEHAVIOR IN SOCCER SMALL-SIDED GAMES: INFLUENCE OF TACTICAL KNOWLEDGE AND NUMERICAL SUPERIORITY

description: ABSTRACT This study investigated the influence of procedural tactical knowledge (PTK) and numerical superiority on the tactical behavior of soccer players during small-sided games. Eighteen male soccer players were divided into six teams, of which three showed higher PTK, and three lower PTK. Data was collected over six days, with two 4-minute sets of small-sided games held by group. Tactical behavior was assessed through FUT-SAT. Two-way ANOVA (group x game) was used for data analysis. In the group factor, only width and length principles showed difference, being more frequent in the lower PTK group. As for game factor, 3x3 SSG presented higher penetration incidence, while in the 4x3 SSG players performed more actions of unity (offensive and defensive), defensive coverage and balance. It is concluded that PTK levels have lower influence on tactical behavior than on game situation.

title: TENNIS COMPETITION'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO CHILDREN'S EDUCATION AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

description: ABSTRACT This study addresses the Tennis 10's competition and its relation to children's education and personal development. The study justifies itself as tennis is a sport that values moral and ethical aspects and changed recently its rules in children competitions. The aim of this study is to describe and explore the current child tennis competition model in its educational and personal developmental aspects, according to specialists' opinions. Eleven coaches with expertise in the area were interviewed and the results showed an important evolution with the new model compared to the previous. However some adjustments still seem necessary. The main ones would be: new competitive modalities, turning the sport more inclusive and educational; greater value to effort, consequently minor focus in results; and higher number of competitive participations, being able to alter competitive formats and calendar.

title: THE RELATION OF THE STUDENTS WITH KNOWLEDGES IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES

description: ABSTRACT The research aims to understand the relation than students establish with the knowledges learned in school physical education and its implications for the constitution of the specificity of this curricular component. Of a narrative type, it defines students as collaborators of 6th and 9th grades of elementary education at a school of the City of Vitória, with 30 students in 6th grade and 25 in 9th grade. Features as tools for the production of data: drawings, explanations of the drawings, focal groups and semi-structured interviews. Because physical education is a discipline that works with the experiences and bodily practices, the students tends to associate the learning content to the ludicity and pleasure. To understand this association, the processes of schooling are analyzed as well as the inclusion of physical education in this context.
