ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate and summarize the best evidence of exercise instructions for patients with atrial fibrillation.Methods:A comprehensive search about evidence on exercise rehabilitation in patients with atrial fibrillation was conducted in following databases: Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Library, The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), National Institute for Health and Clinic Excellence (NICE), Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN), Registered Nurses′ Association of Ontario (RNAO), Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), American College of Physicians (ACP), Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Medlive, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang Database, VIP Database, and China Biology Medicine (CBM). The retrieval period was from the inception of databases to January 2021. Two researchers with evidence-based nursing background assessed the quality of the literature independently and identified the level of evidence.Results:A total of 16 articles were included, including 4 guidelines, 4 systematic reviews, 4 expert consensuses, 4 randomized controlled trials. Combined with professional judgment, 35 pieces of best evidence in 7 aspects were summarized, including exercise benefits, the appropriate crowd, exercise evaluation, exercise mode, exercise intensity, exercise time, exercise supervision and safety.Conclusions:Regular exercise is safe and beneficial for patients with atrial fibrillation. Clinical staff should guide patients to exercise moderately by applying the best evidence with scientific exercise intervention, promoting patients′ physical and mental health.
ABSTRACT
These days people are more about how they look and are giving lots of importance to fitness. Aerobic exercise improves cardiovascular adaptations that increases the peak of oxygen consumption and increases the strength. This is more preferred than resistance exercise as it can be done at home. This study was a prospective observational study. The pros were easy to create. It has gathered large data, it is economical and it has quick interpretation. The cons were the homogeneous population and its survey fatigue. To minimize the sampling bias we have to minimize error in questions and avoid loading questions. This study contains 15 self-structured questionnaires which validated the study design, general population, methodology and its survey questionnaire are the internal validity. From the data analysis, the results showed that 95% feel it is good to do aerobics everyday and 5% feel it is not good to do aerobics everyday. 85% prefer walking is a good exercise and 15% prefer walking is not a good exercise. 85% feel aerobics tones our body, 15% feel aerobics does not tone our body. The aim of my study is to compare the effectiveness of aerobic and resistance exercise among the South Indian population
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the effects of green aerobics on serum homocysteine concentration and the morning surge in blood pressure in H-type hypertension patients with ischemic stroke. Methods The 125 patients who suffer from H-type hypertension as well as ischemic stroke were divided into two groups by random digital table method. The control group (60 cases) accepted neurology normal nursing, while the intervention group (65 cases) accepted green aerobics intervention except the neurology normal nursing. The patients′homocysteine level and the morning surge in blood pressure were assessed in two groups. Results Two weeks later, the homocysteine level in the control group was (9.44± 2.07) mmol/L, while the intervention group was (11.62 ± 3.03) mmol/L. The difference between the two groups had statistics significance(t=-5.257, P<0.05). The morning surge in blood pressure was (18.75± 7.51) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), while the control group was (34.07 ± 2.91) mmHg. The difference between the two groups had statistics significance (t =15.761, P <0.05). Conclusions The green aerobics could effectively lower the homocysteine level and the morning surge in blood pressure of patients who suffer from H-type hypertension as well as ischemic stroke. It was an alternative therapy or assistant therapy without side effects.

ABSTRACT
Introdução: Estudos associam alterações bioquímicas à incidência de doenças cardiovasculares, e um programa de hidroginástica apresenta-se como coadjuvante para melhora dessas enfermidades. Objetivo: Identificar o efeito de um programa de treinamento em hidroginástica sobre o perfil lipídico de mulheres pós-menopáusicas. Métodos: Participaram 33 mulheres divididas em grupo experimental, com 22 voluntárias que realizaram treinamento em hidroginástica, e grupo controle, com 11 integrantes que não efetuaram nenhum treino sistematizado. Resultados: Os resultados do grupo experimental, pré e pós-teste, evidenciaram redução das variáveis LDL, triglicérides e colesterol total. No grupo controle, observou-se diminuição somente nos níveis de HDL, LDL e colesterol total. Em relação aos dois grupos, após intervenção, também observou-se redução do triglicérides e do VLDL. No entanto, não foram evidenciadas diferenças significativas nas variáveis deste estudo. Conclusão: Verificou-se que o treinamento aeróbico em hidroginástica promoveu uma modesta redução do perfil lipídico das mulheres pós-menopáusicas.
Introduction: Studies have related biochemical changes in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, and a program of water aerobics is showing as an adjuvant to improve these conditions. Objective: To identify the effect of a training program in exercises made inside the water (aqua aerobics) on the lipid profile of postmenopausal women. Methods: Thirty-three women were divided into experimental group with 22 volunteers who went aqua aerobics training, and control group with 11 volunteers who did not perform any systematic training. Results: The results of the experimental group, pre- and post-test showed a reduction in the variables LDL, triglycerides and total cholesterol. A decrease in HDL, LDL and total cholesterol was observed in the control group. After the intervention, a reduction in triglycerides and VLDL was also observed in both groups. However, there were found no significant differences in the variables in this study. Conclusion: We conclude that aerobic training in aqua aerobics promoted a reduction in the lipid profile of postmenopausal women.

Este estudo teve como objetivo discutir a real capacidade que o Projeto Idoso, Natação e Saúde (PINS) da (UFSM) tem de estimular o hábito de atividades físicas, assim como caracterizar o bem-estar biopsicossocial dos idosos participantes. A amostra foi constituída por 132 idosos entre 60 a 84 anos. Foram encontrados 84,1% do sexo feminino, enquanto 15,9% do masculino todos praticantes de hidroginástica há pelo menos seis meses. O instrumento que se utilizou foi o questionário (BOAS, 1987), adaptado. Para análise dos dados, foi aplicada a plataforma Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, 13.0). A maior concentração, 75,7%, está na faixa etária de 60 a 74 anos, considerados idoso-jovens. Antes do projeto 15,2% já haviam praticado atividades aquáticas, enquanto que nos períodos de férias e greves 18,9% participaram em outros locais. Já as atividades físicas paralelas 60,6% dizem realizar; 67,4% ficaram sabendo do (PINS) por meio de amigos; 98,5% fizeram novas amizades e 97,7% afirmam conversar com colegas antes ou depois das aulas; 22% participam por um período superior a 5 anos. O principal motivo de participação 83,3% foi saúde, enquanto 72,8% consideram sua saúde boa/muito boa. O otimismo também está presente em relação à qualidade de vida, pois 90,1% a considera qualidade de vida boa/muito boa. O projeto alcançou a meta de estimular o hábito de atividade física em seus participantes, bem como auxiliar a combater a carência de contatos sociais que atinge esta faixa etária, proporcionando aos mesmos um ambiente de interação e formação de novas amizades. Contudo, também detectamos que o hábito da atividade física está estreitamente ligado às condições estruturais oferecidas pela sociedade a esses indivíduos. Nesse sentido, sendo a hidroginástica uma atividade que depende de uma estrutura física específica, o idoso com pouco poder aquisitivo terá maior dificuldade de ter acesso à mesma, quando não é disponibilizada pelos meios públicos.
This study aimed to discuss the real capacity of the Idoso, Natação e Saúde Project (PINS) [Elderly,Swimming and Health] from UFSM, to encourage the practice of exercises, as well as to characterize the biopsychosocial well-being of the elderly participants. The sample consisted of 132 elderly, from 60 to 84 years, 84.1% were female and 15.9% were ale, all gymnastics practicers for at least six months. The used instrument was the adapted questionnaire (BOAS, 1987). Data analysis was applied to the platform Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 13.0). The highest concentration, 75.7%, is aged from 60 to 74 years, considered old-young. Before the project, 15.2% of the participants had practiced water activities, while during holiday periods and 18.9% participated in strikes elsewhere. Since physical activity 60.6% said parallel conduct, 67.4% were aware of (PIN) through friends, new friends made 98.5% and 97.7% say they talk with colleagues before or after school; 22% participate for a period exceeding five years. The main reason for participation was 83.3% health, while 72.8% consider their health as good/very good. The optimism is also present in relation to quality of life, since 90.1% considered their quality of life as good/very good. The project achieved the goal of encouraging the habit of physical activity on its participants, as well as helping to combat the lack of social contacts that reaches this age, giving them an environment to interact and form new friendships. However, we also detected that the habit of physical activity is closely linked to structural conditions offered by society to those individuals. Thus, as a water aerobics activity that depends on a specific physical structure, the elderly with low purchasing power are more difficult to have access to it when it is not made available by public means.

The purpose of this study was to analyzed the effects of step aerobics on the health-related fitness in the middle school girl's Sasang Constitution Classification. The Sasang Constitution was classified by QSCCII and Sasang Pattern Identification Questionnaire and then confirmed by expert of this field, who was oriental medical doctor, attending to Dongeui oriental medical center in Busan. The subjects were Soyang-in 10, Soeum-in 10, Taeum-in 10, respectively, total 30 middle school girls. Step Aerobics program performed 45 min/day, 3 times/week, during 12 weeks. The result was as follows : 1. The height was increased significantly than before exercise in Soeum-in. The body weights and chest circumference were increased than that of the pre-test values in the girl with Soyang-in, Soeum-in, and Taeeum-in, respectively but there was lettle significance. 2. The sit-ups, sit and reach test's values were significantly improved than pre test, and %fat was decreased significantly in Soeum-in and Taeum-in. Otherwise, BMI and LBM were slightly increased than pre-exercise but there was no significance.
