title: EFFECT OF AQUATIC EXERCISE AFTER ECCENTRIC CONTRACTION-INDUCED MUSCLE INJURY

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Muscle microlesions produced by eccentric contractions (EC) cause changes in strength, endurance, power and neuromuscular activity parameters for an extended period of time. Objectives: To investigate the effect of aquatic exercise after EC-induced muscle injury on strength, endurance, power and neuromuscular activity parameters. Methods: A cross-sectional experimental study with six subjects (age 25 ± 4 years, weight 77 ± 4kg and height of 162 ± 2 cm) with EC-induced muscle injury followed up during a recovery period (48h, 72h and 96h) without intervention (Group 1A) and involving aquatic exercises (Group 1B). Dynamic and isometric strength, muscular endurance, and vertical/horizontal power tests as well as vastus lateralis neuromuscular activity measurements were performed before, immediately after, and during the recovery period. Results: Our results indicate that the intervention in Group 1B, when compared to Group 1A, accelerated the recovery of dynamic (p &lt;0.01) and isometric (p &lt;0.03) strength at 48h and 72h, increased vertical power at 48h (p &lt;0.05) and horizontal power at 48h and 72h (p &lt;0.05), and reduced neuromuscular activity (p &lt;0.05) at 48h and 72h after EC. Conclusions: According to our findings, performing aquatic exercises during the recovery period improves muscle efficiency and accelerates strength, power and neuromuscular activity recovery. Level of evidence l; Randomized clinical trial.

title: PREDICTORS OF BONE MINERAL DENSITY IN ADOLESCENTS WITH EXCESS WEIGHT

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Adolescence is characterized as a phase of intense development of the skeletal system. Maximizing bone mass acquisition during adolescence may reduce the risk of bone fractures later in life. Objectives: To analyze bone mineral density (BMD) and its relation to nutritional status and serum vitamin D in adolescents with excess weight. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, exploratory study. Data from 102 adolescents with excess weight, of both sexes, were analyzed. The following indices were evaluated: body mass index (BMI), abdominal circumference (AC), intake of micronutrients (vitamin D, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus), serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25(OH)D concentration, BMD of the proximal femur, lumbar spine (L1-L4) and total body, % body fat mass (% BFM), total BFM, total body lean mass (BLM), body fat mass (BFMI) and lean mass (BLMI). Results: The male adolescents (n=53) had higher values for weight, height, AC, BLM and BLMI, while the females (n=49) had higher % BFM. The majority were obese (53.9%) and had a BMD within the normal range for all evaluation sites. Of the 84 adolescents (n=84) with laboratory examination of 25OHD, 33.3% presented values considered insufficient or deficient. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the most important independent predictor of BMD for the girls was BLMI, regardless the evaluation site. For boys, in addition to BLMI, BMI-Z of the proximal femur (neck of the femur and total) was also was a determinant variable for BMD. Conclusion: In this sample of adolescents, BLMI was a positive predictor of BMD in both sexes; and BMI-Z was a positive predictor only in proximal femur in the boys.

title: INVESTIGATION OF PITUITARY DYSFUNCTION IN RETIRED PROFESSIONAL SOCCER PLAYERS

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: It is well-known that pituitary dysfunction can develop as a result of traumatic brain injuries. One reason for such injuries is collision during contact sports. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of heading the ball and concussion on pituitary function in retired soccer players. Methods: Thirty-two retired soccer players, with an average age of 43.38 ± 5.49 (35-59) and 26 sedentary individuals with an average age of 43.31±6.38 (35-59) were included in this study. The subjects were questioned about their soccer-playing background, history of head trauma and concussion, and cardiometabolic diseases. One day one, blood samples were taken to investigate the baseline hematologic and biochemical parameters. On day two, the ACTH stimulation test was conducted, and on day three, glucagon stimulation tests were carried out. Resting EKG, transthoracic ECHO and exercise stress tests (for MET values) were also conducted. For the statistical analysis, The Student's t-test was used to compare the results of the two groups. The level of significance adopted was p&lt;0.05. Results: It was identified that 5 out of 32 soccer players (16%) had experienced concussion during their soccer careers. The growth hormone (GH) levels of 3 retired soccer players (9.2%) and 3 sedentary individuals (10%) was below 1 ng/dl, which was accepted as the threshold value. There were no significant differences between hematological, biochemical and cardiometabolic parameters of the soccer players with low GH levels and those with normal GH levels. There was no significant relationship between the number of headers performed and GH deficiency. Conclusion: Although low GH levels were detected in almost 10% of the retired soccer players, the frequency of hypopituitarism was not higher than in the sedentary control group. Level of evidence I; Prognostic Studies.

title: COMPARISON OF AEROBIC PERFORMANCE INDICATORS OF SOCCER AND FUTSAL ATHLETES

description: ABSTRACT Soccer and futsal have similar technical movements that are used within different spatial dimensions and game dynamics. The possible physiological differences between players of each sport were unknown. The main purpose of this study was to compare the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) and ventilatory thresholds (VT) of soccer and futsal players. VO2max and VT of 32 athletes (soccer: n = 15; futsal: n = 17) were obtained by ergospirometry in a progressive treadmill test. VO2max was similar between groups. VT occurred later and at higher running speeds in the soccer players. The similarities found in VO2max may be related to the fact that the evaluations were carried out in the pre-season. The fact that the VT was reached later in the soccer players suggests a longer capacity for aerobic exercise and greater resistance to lactate production. Moreover, soccer players appear to be conditioned to withstand increased running times and speeds, until exhaustion. Players of both sports reached the second VT at similar intensities, suggesting no prevalence of anaerobic metabolism. Soccer and futsal players have similar VO2max, but their VTs occur at different times, and at different running speeds. Level of Evidence III; Cross-sectional study.

title: EFFECT OF EXERCISE WITH CONTINUOUS AND INTERMITTENT BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION ON HEMODYNAMICS

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Strength training with blood flow restriction (BFR) involves the use of low loads (20-30% of 1RM) with restriction of blood flow to promote gains in physical fitness. The restriction can be applied continuously or intermittently; however, it is unclear how it affects the hemodynamics of hypertensive women. Objective: To analyze the acute effect of resistance exercise (RE) on the upper and lower limbs with continuous and intermittent blood flow restriction (BFR) on the hemodynamic variables of women with hypertension. Methods: Thirteen women with controlled hypertension (40 to 65 years) underwent eight experimental protocols, with a randomized, counter balanced, crossover design; four exercise sessions for the right upper limb (elbow flexion) and four for the right lower limb (knee extension). The systolic arterial pressure (SAP), diastolic arterial pressure (DAP), and heart rate (HR) were measured before, during, immediately after and 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes after the exercises. Results: There were no significant interactions between the protocols vs. segments vs. time, protocols vs. segments, protocols vs. time, segments vs. time, protocol, segment and time, on the variables SAP, DAP, and HR during and after the RE (p&gt;0.05). Although all these protocols had significantly elevated SAP, DAP and HR, the values remained within the normal range. The protocols of this study did not cause hypotensive effect. Conclusion: Low-load RE combined with continuous and intermittent BFR, on the upper and lower limbs, appears to promote similar variations in the hemodynamic variables of women with hypertension.

title: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, PHYSICAL FITNESS AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IN ADOLESCENTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To synthesize the evidence available in the literature on the relationship between the components of physical activity, physical fitness and academic achievement in adolescents. Methods: The review followed the methodological procedures described by PRISMA and was carried out in the Lilacs, Medline, SciELO, PubMed, Web of Science and Science Direct databases. Quantitative empirical studies published as of 2006 were included. The following descriptors and keywords were used: “Motor activity”, “Physical fitness”, “Physical activity”, “Educational status”, “Academic achievement”, “Academic performance”, and their equivalents in Portuguese and Spanish. Results: The most widely investigated variable was physical fitness (45.5%) followed by physical activity (40.9%), whereas only three studies (13.6%) investigated both. Conclusion: Physical activity and physical fitness are positively associated with the academic achievement of adolescents. In more than 80% of studies the association was considered strong. The physical fitness component most frequently associated with academic achievement was cardiorespiratory fitness. Level of evidence II; Systematic review.

title: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE NATIONAL EVALUATION SYSTEM AND THE PERFORMANCE OF BRAZILIAN ROWERS

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: The National Rower Evaluation System [Sistema Nacional de Avaliação do Remador] (SNAR), adopted by the Brazilian Rowing Confederation, aims to establish a national ranking, and is a prerequisite to participation in National Championships and Selective Games, in its different categories, as well as for joining the Brazilian Rowing Team. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship and the prediction of the SNAR results with competitors’ times in a Brazilian Rowing Championship (CBR). Methods: The investigation involved 11 female rowers (18.00 ± 0.89 years) and 16 male rowers (18.18 ± 0.91 years), participants in a CBR, in the junior category. The research was qualitative, with content analysis of the data available on the Confederation's website. Results: In the junior female category, of the ten variables studied, three showed a correlation r≥0.50; in the junior male category, nine showed a correlation r≥0.50. The multiple linear regression equation, with all the variables studied, showed R2 = 0.86 and SEE = 5.30, in the female category; and R2 = 0.90 and SEE = 3.56, in the male category. Conclusion: Based on our results, the tests indicated by SNAR can be an important source of information, offering significant support for managers, athletes and coaching staff, for use in performance diagnosis and in particular, competition prognosis. It can also be used to adapt training schedule where necessary. Level of evidence I; Diagnostic studies-Investigation of a diagnostic test.
