ABSTRACT

A principal finalidade do método Pilates é desenvolver uma automação dos músculos do core. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a razão eletromiográfica dos músculos Oblíquo Interno (OI) e Reto do Abdômen (RA) localizados na parte anterior do tronco, a razão eletromiográfica dos músculos Multífido (MU) e Longuíssimo do Tórax (LO) localizados na parte posterior do tronco, e também a razão ântero-posterior (A/P=RA+IO/LO+MU) desses músculos durante o exercício swan do método Pilates, realizado sobre a Wunda Chair. Na comparação entre as três razões, foram encontradas diferenças estatísticas (p = 0,0103), apenas entre as razões ântero-posterior (A/P), e entre a razão dos músculos localizados na parte posterior do tronco (MU/LO). Os resultados demonstraram que houve um predomínio na atividade eletromiográfica dos músculos da região posterior em relação aos músculos da região anterior do tronco e que os músculos estabilizadores apresentaram maior atividade eletromiográfica em comparação com os músculos globais ou mobilizadores. O exercício swan pode ser utilizado como forma de treinamento para a musculatura do tronco, e como consequência gerar maior estabilidade a coluna vertebral, pois o exercício prioriza a diminuição da carga sobre a coluna vertebral.

The main purpose of the Pilates method is to develop an automation of core muscles. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the electromyographic ratio of the Internal Oblique (IO) and Rectus Abdominis (RA) muscles located in the anterior part of the trunk, the electromyographic ratio of the Multifidus (MU) and Longissimus Thoracis (LO) muscles, located in the posterior part of the trunk, and also the ratio antero- posterior (A/P=RA+IO/LO+MU) of these muscles during the swan exercise of the Pilates, performed on the Wunda Chair. In the comparison between the three ratios, statistical differences (p = 0.0013) were found only between the antero-posterior (A/P) ratios and the ratio of the muscles located in the posterior part of the trunk (MU/LO). The results showed a predominance of the electromyographic activity in the muscles of the posterior region in relation to the muscles of the anterior region of the trunk. The stabilizing muscles presented greater electromyographic activity in comparison to the global or mobilizing muscles. The swan can be used as training for the trunk muscles, and therefore generates greater stability of the spine, since exercise prioritizes the decrease of the load on the spine. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Aim: To compare the effects of different physical activities on laterality and asymmetry values through the side bridge test. Methods: the assessments were carried out in 45 subjects between 18 and 30 years old, 15 Crossfit-trained individuals, 15 weight trained and 15 sedentary. The subjects performed the side bridge test on both sides. After checking the normality and homogeneity of the data, we selected the appropriate statistical analysis for the comparison of the variables, adopting a significance level of α <0.05. Results: there was no statistical difference in the balance ratio; however, significant difference was found in the side bridge test endurance time, in which the Crossfit group obtained longer times on both sides than the other two groups. The side bridge test is a test of simple execution and that in this study the Crossfit group presented better results in the endurance time in the side bridge test. Conclusion: the results of the ratio asymmetry and endurance time are not sufficient to evaluate the resistance of the core muscles but could be an evaluation tool, the side bridge test can be introduced in postural training programs.(AU)

ABSTRACT

O basquete em cadeira de rodas (BCR) segue praticamente as mesmas regras do basquete convencional (BC). Objetivo: Avaliar a ativação eletromiográfica dos músculos peitoral maior (PM), deltóide anterior (DA) e tríceps braquial (TB) durante o arremesso em atletas de BC e BCR. Método: Estudo transversal, no qual onze sujeitos foram submetidos a uma avaliação eletromiográfica dos músculos PM, DA, TB no membro que realiza o arremesso. Foi utilizado um eletromiógrafo de 4 canais (Miotec/Brasil) (2000Hz/canal). Resultados: Na comparação entre os músculos, o grupo BC mostrou diferença significativa, sendo observada maior ativação do músculo DA em relação aos demais, já no grupo BCR, não houve diferença. Na comparação entre os grupos, o músculo PM mostrou maior ativação no grupo BCR, enquanto o músculo DA estava mais ativo no grupo BC. O músculo TB não apresentou diferença significativa entre os grupos. Conclusão: A partir dos resultados do presente estudo os atletas dos grupos BC e BCR apresentaram diferenças na ativação elétrica durante o movimento do arremesso. Entretanto ambos os grupos ativaram mais o DA, seguido do TB e o músculo menos ativado foi o PM, sendo estas diferenças mais visíveis no grupo BC.


Wheelchair Basketball (WB) follows almost the same rules as Conventional Basketball (CB). Objective: Evaluate the electromyographic (EMG) activation of the pectoralis major (PM), anterior deltoid (AD), and triceps brachii (TB) muscles during shooting in CB and WB athletes and to verify whether there is any difference in muscle activation between the categories. Method: Comparing two groups in a transversal study, CB and WB, in which eleven individuals submitted to an electromyographic examination, of muscles PM, AD, TB on the extremity that was doing the shooting. We used a 4-channel EMG (Miotec/Brazil) (2000Hz/channel). Results: Comparing the muscles, the CB group showed a significant difference: greater AD muscle activation compared to the others; however in the WB group, no differences were found. When comparing between the groups, the PM muscle showed greater activation in the WB group, while the AD muscle was more active in the CB group. The TB muscle showed no difference between groups. Conclusion: From these results, the athletes from the CB and WB groups showed differences in muscle activation during shooting. However, both groups activated the AD the most, followed by the TB. The least active muscle was the PM, and these differences were more visible in the CB group.

ABSTRACT

A Universidade Aberta à Terceira Idade (UNATI) é um programa amplamente implantado nas instituições de ensino superior. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever o panorama dos programas que têm como foco a inserção do idoso. Foi enviado um questionário para 368 Instituições de Ensino Superior. Foram 51 instituições que responderam ao questionário, sendo que 26 destas possuíam algum programa. A partir das respostas, pôde-se concluir que as UNATIs são programas destinados a alguns segmentos das pessoas idosas e contribuem significativamente no processo de envelhecimento de seus participantes.


The University open to seniors (UNATI) is a program widely deployed in institutions of higher education. The objective was to describe the actual overview of the programs that have focused on the inclusion of the elderly. A questionnaire was sent for 368 Higher Education Institutions. 51 institutions that responded to questionnaire and of these, 26 had a program like UNATI. Starting from questionnaire responses can be concluded that UNATIs are programs that significantly contribute in the aging process.
