title: ASSOCIATED FACTORS AT PERFORMANCE IN RACE OF 10.000 METERS BY AMATEURS RUNNERS

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to analyze neuromuscular variables after conducting a race of 10,000 meters and examine the relationship between body composition and neuromuscular variables with the performance in race (Pace and run time) in amateur runners. For this, 19 military (28.5±2.3 years), performed neuromuscular (static leg strength and handgrip; power of lower limbs and flexibility), anthropometric and body composition evaluation before and after a race 10,000 meters. There was a reduction in static leg strength (P=0.034) and increase in explosive strength (P=0.002) and flexibility (P=0.004) after the test. In linear multiple regression analyses the ∑ skinfolds was significantly related with Pace and run time (p&lt;0.05). The results of this study indicate that there are changes in neuromuscular performance after a race of 10,000 meters and race performance is associated with body composition.

title: STUDY OF L-TRYPTOPHAN IN AN EXPERIMENTAL MODEL OF DEPRESSION CAUSED BY ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

description: ABSTRACT Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive impairment commonly associated with mood disorders, which trigger depressive reactions and compromise mental performance and functionality. The objective of the present study was to verify the effects of L-tryptophan and to analyze motor behavior in an experimental model of depression caused by the Alzheimer’s disease process. The sample consisted of 40 Wistar rats divided equally into two groups, 20 animals treated with L-tryptophan and 20 control animals. Both groups received spatial memory training in the water maze task and were submitted to stereotaxic surgery to induce dementia. The treated group achieved better spatial memory activity than the control group in the Morris water maze. Treatment with L-tryptophan had beneficial effects on reactive memory.

title: EFFECTS OF SADDLE HEIGHT ON PERFORMANCE AND MUSCULAR ACTIVITY DURING THE WINGATE TEST

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze the anaerobic performance and muscle activation during a supramaximal cycling test at three different saddle positions. Twelve competitive cyclists completed an incremental cycling test and three 30-s Wingate tests in three different saddle heights (reference, downward, and upward), in a random order, on different days. The saddle height was individually shifted downward and upward (seeing 2.5% of the distance from the pubic symphysis to ground) from the reference position. The electromyographic signal (EMG) data was obtained from the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, biceps femoris (long head), and gastrocnemius lateralis in order to assess muscle activation during the entire test. The anaerobic variables and the EMG data were divided into six consecutive windows of 5-s. The EMG signals were normalized by the first 5-s window of the reference position to provide the percentage changes throughout the test. The results suggest that during a 30-s Wingate test small changes in saddle height result in greater peak power output (reference=1380±241 W; downward=1497±175 W, p=0.036; upward=1491±225 W, p=0.049) and greater activation period for vastus lateralis (reference=33.6%, downward=33.2%, upward=35.0%; p=0.001) in comparision to rectus femoris (reference=24.5%, downward=25.2%, upward=23.7%), biceps femoris (reference=20.7%, downward=20.8%, upward=19.9%), and gastrocnemius lateralis (reference=21.2%, downward=20.8%, upward=19.9%). The results suggest that small adjustments in saddle height may affect the force-length relationship of the muscles of the lower limb, and consequently their recruitment pattern and their ability to generate force.

title: WHAT COPING STRATEGIES ARE USED FOR ATHLETES OF MMA MORE RESILIENT TO STRESS?

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed at investigating the association among resilience, stress and coping strategies of MMA athletes. 50 male MMA athletes with a mean age of 25,0±4,80 years participated in the study. A socio-demographic inquiry, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory, and the Recovery-Stress Questionnaire for Athletes (RESTQ-76) were used as instruments. The descriptive statistics, the Chi-Square test in one factor and 2x2, Fisher’s exact test, and the binary logistic regression (p&lt;0,05) were used for data analysis. The stress levels were low, and the athletes showed high recovery levels considering the subscales referred to as ‘self-efficacy’ (p=0.048) and ‘self-regulation’ (p=0.048). Resilient athletes are more likely to use strategies of ‘adversity confrontation’ (OR=6.47), ‘concentration’ (OR=11.67), and ‘coachability’ (OR=5.49). In conclusion, the resilient athletes have lower stress levels because they concentratedly face the conflicts that arise from the sport environment, in addition to learn with their training.

title: ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SLEEP DISORDERS AND CHRONIC DISEASES IN PATIENTS OF THE BRAZILIAN NATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM

description: ABSTRACT Many factors are associated with sleep disorders, causing an increase in health spending. The objective of this study was to analyze the association of sleep disorders and non-communicablechronic diseases in patients over 50 years of age, attended by Basic Health Care Units of Presidente Prudente. In total, 363 patients participated. The history of diseases was self-reported through the use of a questionnaire, the level of physical activity was evaluated by the Baecke questionnaire, and sleep quality was assessed using the Mini-Sleep Questionnaire. Anthropometric and body composition data were collected using a stadiometer and scale; patients in the highest (75th) percentile were considered obese. Statistical analysis was performed using the Student t test, chi-square test, and binary logistic regression. The results showed that sleep disorders are associated with osteoporosis, arthritis/osteoarthritis, low back pain, depression, and obesity. Additionally, obesity and physical inactivity influence the occurrence of non-communicable chronic diseases.

title: PREDICTORS OF THE FUNCTIONAL REACH TEST IN PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE

description: ABSTRACT Postural instability, a fundamental signal/symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD), is characterized by the association between postural alignment, joint range of motion, and muscular rigidity. The aim of the present study was to analyze the relationship between performance in the functional reach test (FRT) and associated factors such as joint range of motion and PD clinical features. Twenty-five people with PD in stages 1 and 1.5 of the Hoehn & Yahr scale participated in the study. The analyzed dependent variables were: FRT performance and scores in the items of clinical evaluation of the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale: pull-test, motor rigidity, and motor condition were used. The average distance in the FRT was 25.3 cm and the mean anterior-posterior displacement of the center of pressure was 2.69 cm. The ankle range of motion was associated with FRT performance, while postural stability was associated with the anterior-posterior displacement of the center of pressure during the FRT. We conclude that FRT performance in people with PD is determined by the individual level of balance and by the ankle joint amplitude and muscular rigidity and functional alterations due to aging are responsible for FRT performance.

title: VALIDATION OF THE BASIC PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS IN EXERCISE SCALE (BPNES)

description: ABSTRACT The study aimed to validate for Portuguese language (Brazilian population) the questionnaire Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale (BPNES) in Physical Education. Attended three translators involved in the translation process, three doctors in Sport Psychology and 403 students. The instrument was the BPNES with 12 items that assessed the basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence and relationship). For analysis, we used the content validity coefficients, kappa, Cronbach's alpha, intraclass correlation and confirmatory factor analysis. The Results showed that the version for the Portuguese language contains appropriate questions for clarity of language and practical relevance (CVC&gt;.81) and presents internal consistency (α=0.83), and satisfactory test-retest reliability (R = 0.87) . Confirmatory factor analysis presented adjustment coefficients (X2/gl=2.10; GFI=0.95; CFI=0.96; TLI=0.95; RMS=0.05). We conclude that the version into Portuguese of BPNES proved to be valid to assessed the constructs of motivation (autonomy, competence and relationships) in the Brazilian educational context.

title: BODY DISSATISFACTION AND ANTHROPOMETRIC MEASURES AMONG ADOLESCENTS FROM JUIZ DE FORA-MG, IN SOCIOECONOMIC VULNERABILITY

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate body dissatisfaction among adolescents in social vulnerability and to verify possible associations with self-reported and measured anthropometric data (weight, height and BMI). A total of 204 adolescents participated, being 78 girls and 126 boys aged 10 to 14 years old (11.9+1.55). Body weight and height were measured and self-reported. Body dissatisfaction was assessed by the Brazilian Silhouette Scale for Children. Body dissatisfaction levels were found (82.8%) in both sexes, wherein girls and boys did not differ as to dissatisfaction (p=0.10). In both sexes, measured body mass (p=0.05 in girls; p=0.0339 in boys) and height (p=0.0086 in girls; p=0.0001 in boys) were significantly different from self-reported body mass and height. Body dissatisfaction related positively and significantly to measured BMI (r=0.55, p&lt;0.0001), but not to self-reported BMI (rs=-0.0324, p=0.645). In conclusion, self-reported measures did not represent measured data realistically and should be used with caution in future studies addressing body dissatisfaction among adolescents in social vulnerability.
