title: Identification of equipment and procedures used by Brazilian physical therapists for inspiratory muscle endurance tests

description: ABSTRACT The assessment of inspiratory muscles through the inspiratory muscle endurance test (IME), defined as the ability to support this task over time, currently presents wide range of instruments and procedures for its measurement. This study aimed to identify the different equipment, procedures and assessments of IME tests among Brazilian physical therapists. It is a cross-sectional study carried out through a questionnaire sent individually by electronic mail to each participant. One hundred and thirteen physical therapists from different regions of the country, many practicing in the clinic and in the teaching field (52.1%), said they measured IME a few times (48.7%). The aneroid manovacuometer was used by 42.5% of the professionals. The nose clip and the hard plastic or paper tubular incentive spirometer were the most used accessories during the test, corresponding to 51.8% and 33%, respectively. The maximum voluntary ventilation test was used to assess the inspiratory endurance, reported by 23% of the respondents. The constant load test for endurance assessment was adopted by 51.2% of the physical therapists, and 54.9% associated verbal commands with the demonstration for the test application. The interpretation of the measured values was made with reference values by 25.7% of respondents. We identified that Brazilian physical therapists interviewed did not show the same conduct for IME tests. However, the equipment, procedures and assessment form are used based on the guidelines on the subject and according to the availability of resources of the service.

title: Bariatric surgery repercussions on the quality of life, biochemical profile, and blood pressure of patients with morbid obesity

description: ABSTRACT The indication of bariatric surgery (BS) for weight loss and reduction of obesity-related comorbidities is increasing. The objective of this study was to analyze the repercussions of BS on quality of life (QOL), biochemical profile, and blood pressure (BP) of morbidly obese individuals at three different moments: one month before, three months after and six months after BS. The sample consisted of 42 morbidly obese individuals from the BS program of a hospital in the city of Juiz de Fora - MG, Brazil. They were randomly divided into intervention group (IG, n = 21) and control group (CG, n = 21). The IG underwent surgical intervention and the CG was instructed to maintain the usual daily tasks throughout the study period, besides receiving nutritional monitoring. The QOL, biochemical profile, and BP were evaluated through the SF-36 instrument, laboratory blood tests obtained in the patients’ medical records, and with the sphygmomanometer and stethoscope, respectively. The results showed a reduction in the biochemical variables HDL, LDL, VLDL, cholesterol, triglycerides, glycated hemoglobin, glucose, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure in the IG 6 months after surgery. There was a significant improvement in the variables related to QQL, except in the emotional aspects. It can be concluded that BS can positively affect most QOL domains, improve the biochemical profile and BP of morbidly obese patients 3 and 6 months after BS.

title: Pilates method in the community: effect on the body posture of elderly women

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to verify the effect of the Pilates method (PM) on the body posture of elderly women in a community. A non-randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in 40 elderly women aged between 60 and 80 years, divided equally into Intervention Group (IG) and Control Group (CG). The groups answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and were evaluated, in pre- and post-intervention moments, using biophotogrammetry, through the software SAPO. The IG performed a program of 12 Pilates exercises, twice a week, with duration of 50 minutes, for 12 weeks. A nonparametric statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney test with significance value of p&lt;0.05. The results showed before the intervention the distance between the acromions, epicondyles and styloid process were lower in the CG, in relation to the IG; however, after the intervention, no significant difference was observed between the groups. After the intervention, a statistically significant difference was observed in the variables: distance from the superior (p=0.01) and inferior angle of scapula (p=0.02) of the IG in relation to the CG. The conclusion was that Pilates promoted a positive effect on some variables of the postural profile of the elderly women, being suitable for community groups for practice of physical activities.

title: Level of Physical Activity and functional capacity of patients with pre-dialytic chronic kidney disease and in hemodialysis

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to compare the functional capacity (FC) and level of physical activity (LPA) of individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in long-term hemodialysis (HD) treatment (G1); in short-term HD treatment (G2); in conservative treatment (G3), and individuals without CKD (G4). This was a descriptive cross-sectional study with a convenience sample. A total of 44 individuals were evaluated, 13 of G1 (50.6 ± 11.5 years), 9 of G2 (50.8 ± 19.01), 9 of G3 (42.8 ± 15.6), and 13 of G4 (49 , 2 ± 11.2). FC was assessed by the six-minute walking test (6MW) and the L PA by the IPAQ questionnaire. For statistical analysis in the comparison between groups, we used ANOVA One-way with Bonferroni post hoc. For categorical variables, the Chi-square test was used. A significant difference was found in the comparison of the 6MW walking distance between G1 and G4 (409.4 ± 108.1 x 571, 9 ± 31.5m; p = 0.001) and between G2 and G4 (422.6 ± 133.2 x 571.9 ± 31.5 m, p = 0.006). Similar results were observed for 6MW distance in prediction percentage. Regarding LPA, no significant differences were found between the groups and most individuals presented low levels. Therefore, it was concluded that individuals with CKD in HD treatment present reduction of CF when compared to people without CKD.

title: Comparative analysis of predictive formulas for the evaluation of functional capacity with cardiopulmonary test in professional female soccer players

description: ABSTRACT To compare the validity of two oxygen consumption (VO2) prediction formulas with the values obtained through cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPT) in a treadmill with professional female soccer players. Eighteen professional female soccer players performed CPT in a treadmill with an incremental protocol. The VO2 of the gas exchange threshold (GET) was determined, as well as at peak exercise. After that, the following formula of VO2prediction i) VO2 = (0.2 x velocity) + (0.9 x velocity x incline) + 3.5 - velocity, in mph and %incline); and ii) MET (metabolic equivalent) = 6xHRI-5, where HRI = maximum heart rate/resting heart rate, were applied in the same power for comparison. In the first formula, the values obtained in GET and at peak exercise were below the estimated, indicating that the formula overestimated VO2 and, consequently, aerobic capacity and power. In the second formula, the values were below the estimated, indicating that the formula also underestimated VO2 and, consequently, aerobic capacity and power. Given these results, the prediction formulas do not present similarity in determining the functional capacity (FC) of professional female soccer players, indicating they are not suitable for this population.

title: Physical activity and quality of life in chronic kidney disease patients in hemodialysis

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the physical activity level of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) and correlate it to the quality of life (QOL). This is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. Eight-four patients diagnosed with CKD participated in the study. The instruments used were: The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to identify the level of physical activity and the 36-Item Short-Form Survey (SF-36) to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Descriptive statistical analyzes were performed (mean and standard deviation). The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used, and the absence of data normality was observed. Mann-Whitney’s U test was used to compare the HRQOL between groups (active and insufficiently active), and Spearman’s correlation coefficient test was used to correlate the level of physical activity and the HRQOL. The significance level adopted was 5% (p≤0.05). It was found that 61.9% (n=51) of the participants were active. Regarding the comparison of groups, active patients presented better perception of HRQOL when compared to the insufficiently active ones. Additionally, from the Spearman’s Correlation Coefficient, it was observed that the physical activity level is correlated with HRQOL, with significant statistics in several SF-36 dimensions. Thus, it is suggested that the regular practice of physical activity may contribute to a better perception of HRQOL of HD patients.

title: Effects of inspiratory muscle training on autonomic control: systematic review

description: ABSTRACT The autonomic nervous system dysfunction has an important role on the physiopathology of some diseases. A possible option to improve the autonomic control is the inspiratory muscle training (IMT). The aim of this study was to systematically review the available literature about the effects of this training modality on autonomic control. A search was performed for controlled and randomized clinical trials on database MEDLINE, PEDro, SciELO and LILACS by two independent reviewers, who also evaluated the methodologic quality (PEDro scale). 181 articles were found and, after elegibility criteria analysis, four studies were included. The included studies showed good methodological quality and assessed the effect of IMT on the autonomic control of participants with risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The autonomic control was evaluated by heart rate variability (HRV) analysis and by noradrenaline plasma levels. The IMT improved autonomic control in 3 studies, reducing the sympathetic nervous system (noradrenaline plasma levels; LF nu - HRV) and increasing the vagal nervous system (HF un - HRV). It is concluded that IMT may be a therapeutic alternative to improve the autonomic control.

title: Dynamic Movement Assessment and Functional Movement Screening for injury prediction: a systematic review

description: ABSTRACT Dynamic Movement AssessmentTM (DMATM) and Functional Movement ScreeningTM (FMSTM) are tools to predict the risk of musculoskeletal injuries in individuals who practice physical activities. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the association of DMATM and FMSTM with the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, in different physical activities, categorizing by analysis. A research without language or time filters was carried out in November 2016 in MEDLINE, Google Scholar, SciELO, SCOPUS, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL and BVS databases using the keywords: “injury prediction”, “injury risk”, “sensitivity”, “specificity”, “functional movement screening”, and “dynamic movement assessment”. Prospective studies that analyzed the association between DMATM and FMSTM with the risk of musculoskeletal injuries in physical activities were included. The data extracted from the studies were: participant’s profile, sample size, injury’s classification criteria, follow-up time, and the results presented, subdivided by the type of statistical analysis. The risk of bias was performed with Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for cohort studies. No study with DMATM was found. A total of 20 FMSTM studies analyzing one or more of the following indicators were included: diagnostic accuracy (PPV, NPV and AUC), odds ratios (OR) or relative risk (RR). FMSTM showed a sensitivity=12 to 99%; specificity=38 to 97%; PPV=25 to 91%; NPV=28 to 85%; AUC=0.42 to 0.68; OR=0.53 to 54.5; and RR=0.16-5.44. The FMSTM has proven to be a predictor of musculoskeletal injuries. However, due to methodological limitations, its indiscriminate usage should be avoided.
