title: Validation of the Brunel mood scale for cardiac rehabilitation program

description: INTRODUCTION: Cardiopulmonary and metabolic rehabilitation programs (CPMR) have adopted physical training protocols that value high volume and high intensity, with the possible onset of the overtraining (OVT) syndrome. In this context, the systematic use of mood investigative tools can assist in early detection of OVT syndrome.OBJECTIVE: To validate the Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) for CPMR participants.METHODS: 247 individuals were enrolled in the study, with mean age of 63.3±10.5 years, participating for at least three months of the CPMR program. Descriptive analysis was presented as mean, standard deviation and frequency distribution. To assess the construct validity the confirmatory factor analysis was used. To verify the adequacy of the data the rate of Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) was used. To interpret the matrix, the method of extracting the principal components by the varimax method was adopted. The consistency was assessed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient.RESULTS: All BRUMS items obtained averages over nine demonstrating that the instrument questions were judged very clear by the participants. It was found that 83.3 % of the questions were correctly related to their respective domains. Regarding the analysis of internal consistency all domains demonstrated value above 0.6.CONCLUSION: The Brunel Mood Scale proved to be valid and well understood by patients who participate in cardiopulmonary and metabolic rehabilitation programs.

title: Applicability of body adiposity index in estimating body fat of young brazilian women

description: INTRODUCTION: The estimation of body composition is an important study field in the prognosis and diagnosis of degenerative diseases. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the applicability of the Body Adiposity Index (BAI) and the skinfold thickness method. METHODS: The sample consisted of 19 young adult women with a mean age 24.53 ± 2.65 years, who underwent anthropometric measurements (circumferences and skinfold thickness) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The estimated values were compared to the reference value by using the paired t test and by analysis of the level of association between the methods through the Pearson correlation. The level of significance was p&lt;0.05. RESULTS: Showed no significant differences between the fat percentage estimated by the BAI and the reference values, however had moderate level of association (r=0.627). Nevertheless, the skinfold thickness method showed statistically significant difference (p&gt;0.05) with a strong association level (r = 0.879). CONCLUSION: Although the BAI does not show difference to the estimated values, it is clear that further studies on the applicability of the method in the Brazilian population are necessary.

title: Analysis of the sick scapula in handball players with and without shoulder pain during throwing

description: INTRODUCTION: The scapular dyskinesia is defined as a change in scapular position, both dynamic and static, resulting from periscapular imbalances secondary to muscle fatigue, trauma or neurological injury. The SICK Scapula statically evaluates and characterizes the scapular changes, ranging from 0 to 20 (0 = best). This exam addressed three aspects: objective pain, subjective pain and scapular malposition.OBJECTIVE: To compare the SICK Scapula in symptomatic and asymptomatic handball players.METHODS: The sample consisted of 57 handball athletes divided into two groups according to the presence of shoulder pain: asymptomatic group (AG) (N = 27) and symptomatic group (SG) (N = 30). The SICK Scapula score has been reported among athletes, both in relation to the total score and its subscales. The GS had a significantly higher score than the GA (8±2.3 vs. 2.7±1.8; p&lt;0.001).RESULTS: In the subscales, GA and SG also showed significant differences in subjective pain (0 vs. 1.73±0.83, p&lt;0.001), objective pain (0.41±0.64 vs. 2.5±0.86, p&lt;0.001) and scapular malposition (2.3±1.9 vs. 3.7±1.5, p=0.002).CONCLUSION: The handball athletes with throwing-related pain have a higher score with respect to pain and changes of scapular positioning, as assessed by SICK Scapula, compared with those who did not have symptoms.

title: Eletromyography of the rectus femoris in different proprioceptive devices in a hydrotherapy pool

description: INTRODUCTION: Proprioception is an essential variable for prevention and rehabilitation of knee injuries and can be stimulated by different equipment, which have not yet been tested in water.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the electromyographic (EMG) activity of the rectus femoris muscle of athletes in aquatic environment using three different proprioceptive equipment (trampoline, balance disc and rocker board).METHODS: The sample comprised ten professional futsal players with no history of musculoskeletal injuries (last three months), with 23.1 (±1.5) years old and body mass index of 25.2 (±0.5) kg/m². The EMG of the rectus femoris of the dominant member was acquired by placing surface electrodes approximately 2.5cm from the distal position of the motor point. The water level was individually adjusted (between the umbilical region and the xiphoid process) and the temperature was maintained at 32ºC. The evaluations included rest, maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) before and after the experiments and proprioceptive stimuli (trampoline, balance disc and rocker board) in one leg. The data (mean ± standard error) were compared by paired t-test and ANOVA for repeated measures followed by Bonferroni post-hoc test.RESULTS: The EMG of MVC before (221.0 ± 134 RMS/µVolts) and after (243.0 ± 154.0 RMS/µVolts) were similar (p=0.129). In the aquatic environment, the trampoline, the rocker board and the balance disc showed respectively 24.5 (±4.3), 33.9 (±4.3) and 32.5 (±6.7) %CVM. The EMG activity of the rectus femoris muscle in the trampoline was 8% lower than the rocker board and 9.5% than the balance disc (p&lt;0.001).CONCLUSION: In the aquatic environment proprioceptive equipment promote the activation of the rectus femoris muscle. However, the trampoline has lower activity than the disc and the rocker board, suggesting that this equipment should be employed at the beginning of the proprioceptive stimulation.

title: Dehydration level after indoor cycling training

description: INTRODUCTION: Dehydration in indoor cycling is an understudied topic in the literature.OBJECTIVE: To determine the level of dehydration of practitioners of indoor cycling after activity, and the presence of protein in the urine.METHODS: Thirty men (25.5 ± 3.9 years) indoor cycling practitioners who conducted a 50-minute intermittent training were recruited: a) 5 minutes of warm-up without load and high speed; b) 40 minutes of intermittent stimuli (six intense cycles of 5 minutes and five mild cycles of 3 minutes); c) 5 minutes of cool-down without load and with regression of speed. For checking the hydration status were evaluated: body mass, relative and absolute dehydration, degree of dehydration, sweating rate and density of urine. The training intensity was verified by heart rate and perceived exertion.RESULTS: The body mass loss after training was significant (0.523±0.362kg), corresponding to a percentage of dehydration of 0.69±0.47%. No subject showed a serious level of dehydration. Concerning protein loss in the urine, 83.3% of subjects had low levels, while 16.7% showed moderate levels.CONCLUSION: Dehydration and loss of proteins in the urine showed low levels after training indoor cycling.

title: Resisted training reduces cardiovascular risk in elderly women

description: INTRODUCTION: Human aging combined with a sedentary lifestyle is marked by metabolic changes with change in body composition reflecting directly on the C-reactive protein (CRP), which is an important risk marker for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Resistance Training (RT) is a widely used method in the prevention of diseases associated with aging. Objective: To evaluate the effects of eight weeks of TR on body composition, muscle strength and CRP in a group of elderly women. METHOD: An experimental study was conducted with 10 elderly women (63 ± 2 years). For the CRP analysis, biochemical analysis, complete blood count and lipid profile samples of peripheral venous blood were collected before exercise and 24 hours later. For anthropometric measurements were calculated the body mass index (BMI), waist/hip ratio (WHR) and body composition. The TR was conducted by Combined Series - Bi-Set. Statistical analysis was first conducted with the Shapiro-Wilk normality test (p&gt;0.05) for parametric tests. Group variables were presented as mean and standard deviation. For CRP, anthropometric, body composition and lipid profile variables, the Student t test was performed, for both previous and later to eight weeks of training. For samples of the loads evolution and average food consumption was performed the One Way ANOVA test and, where necessary, the Tukey's post hoc test. The significance level was set at p≤0.05. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant reduction (p=0.02) for the serum concentrations of CRP, which means a decrease of 70.96%, and reduction of the fat mass and increased lean body mass and the training load after eight weeks. CONCLUSION: Eight weeks of RT reduced serum concentrations of C-reactive protein, as well as decreased fat mass and increased muscle volume, proving to be an effective strategy in reducing the risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

title: Comparison of three equations for predicting the body fat by bioimpedance in young obese females

description: INTRODUCTION: The bioelectrical impedance (BIA) has been widely used for monitoring body composition of individuals of different ages and nutritional statuses. However, it is unknown which of the equations for children and adolescents is the most recommended to be used for adolescents who are overweight. Objective: To assess the agreement of the BIA method using three different equations with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for analysis of body composition in overweight and obesity. METHODS: Twenty-seven female adolescents with overweight or obesity were included in this study. The percentage of body fat (�), fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) were evaluated by DXA and BIA using the equations proposed by Houtkooper, Schaefer and Deurenberg. Oneway ANOVA, Bland-Altman plots and the intraclass correlation coefficient were used for comparison and verification of the agreement among the methods. RESULTS: BIA using the equation proposed by Houtkooper was the only one that showed no statistically significant difference in the estimating �, FM and FFM compared to DXA and showed good agreement with DXA in estimating � (-1.9±3.29), FM (1.5±2.59) and FFM (1.4±2.60) and good reproducibility for � (0.81), FM (0.96) and FFM (0.89). The Schaefer and Deurenberg equations showed less agreement with DXA, overestimating the MG and underestimating the FFM, and presented moderate to low reproducibility in most measures of body composition. CONCLUSION: When we compared the three equations proposed to BIA with DXA, we find that the Houtkooper equation was the best agreed with DXA and showed good reproducibility for estimate �, FM and FFM in female adolescents with overweight and obesity.

title: Somatotypes, risk factors and waist-height ratio in physically active individuals

description: INTRODUCTION: The relationship between physical type and cardiovascular risk has been studied in several populations worldwide. In Brazil, studies evaluating this relationship are scarce, especially when physically active individuals are concerned. Objective: To analyze the relationship of the somatotype with cardiovascular risk factors and waist-height ratio (WHtR) in physically active individuals. METHODS: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 280 individuals, users of the jogging track at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) in Recife, PE, Brazil. To identify the level of physical activity, we used the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Individuals classified as very active, active or irregularly active A or B were included in the sample. Physically inactive individuals were excluded from the analysis. The somatotype was estimated by the anthropometric protocol proposed by Carter and Heath (1990). We determined as cardiovascular risk factors smoking, alcohol consumption, and blood pressure (BP). We used descriptive statistics to characterize the sample, and then used a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) with a significance level of p&lt;0.05. RESULTS: No significant relationship for the variables smoking and alcohol consumption. In the analysis of BP (Pillai's trace = 0.082; F=8.187; p&lt;0.05) and WHtR (Pillai's trace = 0.298; F=39.081; p&lt;0.05) there was statistical significance for the somatotype. CONCLUSIONS: The physical type was positive and significantly related to BP and WHtR, showing that this anthropometric indicator can be used for early prediction of the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
