ABSTRACT

Introducción. La evaluación de la condición física (CF), junto con otros indicadores de salud, es una estrategia utilizada para conocer el estado actual de los escolares. El principal objetivo fue medir en escolares sanluiseños el estado de salud actual, los niveles de CF y construir tablas de referencias de CF. Población y métodos. Escolares entre 9 y 12 años de edad (ambos sexos) fueron evaluados con dos indicadores de salud: índice de masa corporal y presión arterial. La CF fue medida con la batería ALPHA-Fitness. El orden de las pruebas fue el siguiente: tensión arterial, masa corporal, estatura, longitud de pie y mano, salto en longitud, velocidad en 30 metros, agilidad 4 × 10 m y la prueba de ida y vuelta en 20 metros. Se calculó el índice de masa corporal (IMC) y la maduración biológica. Resultados. Fueron evaluados 15548 escolares. Los valores promedios fueron presión arterial sistólica 101 ± 10 mmHg y diastólica 66 ± 7 mmHg; IMC 20,2 ± 4,3 kg/m2. Para la CF fueron las siguientes: componente cardiorrespiratorio VO2 máx. 39,87 ± 3,2 ml/kg/min y velocidad alcanzada en la prueba de ida y vuelta en 20 m 8,9 ± 0,6 km/h; componente neuromuscular; salto en longitud: 120,6 ± 23,9 cm, velocidad 30 m: 6,56 ± 0,85 s, agilidad 4 × 10 m: 15,17 ± 1,82 s. El rendimiento siempre fue superior en el grupo masculino (p <0,001). Conclusión. Los escolares mostraron niveles saludables de presión arterial. El 50 % de la muestra fue clasificada con sobrepeso u obesidad según el IMC. En ambos sexos, se observaron bajos niveles de CF. Por primera vez, se elaboraron tablas de referencia de CF en escolares sanluiseños


Introduction. The assessment of physical fitness (PF), is useful strategy to know the current status of schoolchildren. Our primary objective was to measure the current health status and PF levels of schoolchildren in San Luis and to develop PF reference tables. Population and methods. Schoolchildren aged 9 to 12 years (boys and girls) were assessed based on 2 health indicators: body mass index and blood pressure. PF was measured using the ALPHA-Fitness test battery. Blood pressure, body mass, height, foot and hand length, standing long jump, 30 m sprint, 4 × 10 m agility test, and 20 m shuttle run test were assessed. The body mass index (BMI) and biological maturation were estimated. Results. A total of 15 548 schoolchildren were assessed. Average systolic blood pressure was 101 ± 10 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure, 66 ± 7 mmHg; BMI: 20.2 ± 4.3 kg/m2. Average PF was, in the cardiorespiratory component, VO2 max.: 39.87 ± 3.2 mL/kg/min and speed reached during the 20 m shuttle run test: 8.9 ± 0.6 km/h; in the musculoskeletal component, standing long jump: 120.6 ± 23.9 cm, 30 m sprint: 6.56 ± 0.85 s, 4 × 10 m agility test: 15.17 ± 1.82 s. The performance was better in the boys group (p < 0.001). Conclusion. Blood pressure was normal. Fifty percent of the sample was overweight or obese as per their BMI. Both boys and girls showed low PF levels. PF reference tables for schoolchildren from San Luis were developed for the first time.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the agreement between PHYSICAL BEST and FITNESSGRAM health-related criteria for muscle strength and endurance. Methods: This agreement study had a sample of 81 children and adolescents. Participants were submitted to the PHYSICAL BEST (Sit-up and Pull-up) and FITNESSGRAM (Curl-up and Modified Pull-up) test batteries. Additionally, FITNESSGRAM also proposed criteria for Pull-up test. Results of tests were classified in accordance with their respective criteria. Each group had an interval of seven days between the first and second battery of tests. Statistical analysis used the Kappa index (p<0.05). Results: Sit-up and Curl-up tests among the boys agreed in 72.2% (Kappa=0.368; p=0.004) of cases, and for the girls, in 64.4% (Kappa=0.130; p=0.076). Pull-up (PHYSICAL BEST versus FITNESSGRAM) agreed in 83.3% (Kappa=0.599; p<0.001) for boys. The agreement between Pull-up and Modified Pull-up (PHYSICAL BEST versus FITNESSGRAM) for boys was 47.2% (Kappa=0.071; p=0.533), and for girls, 44.5% (Kappa=0.102; p=0.120). The agreement between the Pull-up and Modified Pull-up tests (FITNESSGRAM) for boys was 58.4% (Kappa=0.215; p=0.143), and for girls, 44.5% (Kappa=0.102; p=0.120). Conclusions: For individual analysis over time, as well as for the comparison of passing rates between different populations, caution is advised when using different criterion-referenced standards for strength and endurance, particularly if using different tests.


RESUMO Objetivo: Verificar a concordância entre os critérios relacionados à saúde para força e resistência muscular da PHYSICAL BEST e FITNESSGRAM. Métodos: Estudo de concordância com amostra composta de 81 crianças e adolescentes. Os participantes foram submetidos à bateria da PHYSICAL BEST (Abdominal e Flexão de cotovelos na barra) e da FITNESSGRAM (Abdominal modificado e Flexão de cotovelos na barra modificada). Adicionalmente, a FITNESSGRAM também propôs critérios para a Flexão de cotovelos na barra. Os resultados dos testes foram classificados de acordo com seus respectivos critérios. Houve um intervalo de sete dias entre as aplicações das baterias para cada grupo. A análise estatística utilizou o índice Kappa (p<0,05). Resultados: Os testes Abdominal e Abdominal modificado concordaram em 72,2% (Kappa=0,368; p=0,004) entre os meninos e 64,4% (Kappa=0,130; p=0,076) entre as meninas. Flexão de cotovelos na barra (PHYSICAL BEST versus FITNESSGRAM) concordou em 83,3% (Kappa=0,599; p<0,001) para os meninos. A concordância entre Flexão de cotovelos na barra e Flexão de cotovelos na barra modificada (PHYSICAL BEST versus FITNESSGRAM) foi de 47,2% (Kappa=0,071; p=0,533) para os meninos e 44,5% (Kappa=0,102; p=0,120) para as meninas. A concordância entre o teste de Flexão de cotovelos na barra e de Flexão de cotovelos na barra modificada (fitnessgram) foi de 58,4% (Kappa=0,215; p=0,143) para os meninos e 44,5% (Kappa=0,102; p=0,120) para as meninas. Conclusões: Para análises individuais ao longo do tempo, bem como para a comparação do atendimento entre diferentes populações, recomenda-se cautela ao usar diferentes critérios para a força e resistência, particularmente se forem usados testes diferentes.

ABSTRACT

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo identificar o impacto da informação no contexto da construção de conhecimento em trabalhadores de startups. Nesse sentido, ao observarmos o atual cenário das organizações, analisamos que a informação é capaz de modificar o comportamento dos sujeitos de diferentes maneiras. Dessa forma, ao mesmo tempo em que devemos considerar a informação como um recurso para as organizações, também é necessário compreender o seu impacto na saúde geral dos trabalhadores, que vai desde a sensação de incapacidade em absorver múltiplas informações na produção de conhecimento, entre outros problemas (doenças somáticas, síndrome de esgotamento etc.), o que interfere na saúde mental, tanto quanto à saúde física. O uso da informação provoca inúmeros desencadeamentos nas organizações, todavia, destacamos um comportamento desenvolvido pelos trabalhadores que necessita ser analisado: a ansiedade informacional. Diante desse cenário, a presente pesquisa buscou compreender o comportamento informacional dos trabalhadores do conhecimento nas startups. Para tanto, foi escolhido o método 'estudo de caso', aplicando-se a triangulação, ou seja, aplicando diferentes técnicas de coleta e análise de dados, tornando a pesquisa mais consistente, validando assim os dados e análises realizadas. A população da pesquisa consiste em 18 sujeitos de 4 diferentes empresas de tecnologia da informação que foram enquadradas como startups. Com as informações colhidas, foi possível construir parâmetros baseados em estratégias de Gestão de Pessoas de Ribeiro et al (2019) capazes de minimizar o impacto da ansiedade em informação nos trabalhadores dessas startups(AU)


Este documento tiene como objetivo identificar el impacto de la información en el contexto de la creación de conocimiento en los trabajadores de nuevas empresas. En este sentido, al observar el escenario actual de las organizaciones, analizamos que la información puede modificar el comportamiento de los sujetos de diferentes maneras. Por lo tanto, si bien debemos considerar la información como un recurso para las organizaciones, también es necesario comprender su impacto en la salud general de los trabajadores desde la sensación de incapacidad para absorber información múltiple en la producción de conocimiento; entre otros problemas, enfermedades somáticas, síndrome de agotamiento, etcétera, que interfieren con la salud mental y la salud física. El uso de la información causa numerosos factores desencadenantes en las organizaciones; sin embargo, destacamos un comportamiento desarrollado por los trabajadores que debe analizarse: la ansiedad informativa. Dado este escenario, la presente investigación buscó comprender el comportamiento informativo de los trabajadores del conocimiento en las nuevas empresas. Para esto, se eligió el método "estudio de caso", aplicando la triangulación, es decir, diferentes técnicas de recolección y análisis de datos, haciendo que la investigación sea más consistente, para validar los datos y el análisis realizado. La población de la investigación consistió en 18 sujetos de 4 compañías diferentes de tecnología de la información que fueron clasificadas como startups. Con la información recopilada, fue posible construir parámetros basados ​​en las estrategias de gestión de personas de Ribeiro y otros (2019), capaces de minimizar el impacto de la ansiedad por la información en los trabajadores de estas nuevas empresas(AU)


The purpose of the study was to identify the impact of information in the context of knowledge creation among workers from startup enterprises. Based on observation of the current scenario of organizations, we analyzed the fact that information may modify the behavior of subjects in different ways. Thus, while we should consider information as a resource for organizations, we should also understand its impact on workers' general health in terms of a feeling of inability to grasp multiple information in the process of knowledge production. Among other problems, somatic diseases and the burnout syndrome interfere with mental and physical health. Given this scenario, the study aimed to understand the information behavior of knowledge workers in the new enterprises. To achieve this goal, the case study method was applied, which included the use of triangulation, i.e. different data collection and analysis techniques contributing greater consistency to the study when validating the data and the analysis performed. The study population was 18 subjects from 4 different information technology companies classified as startups. With the information collected, parameters could be constructed on the basis of the people management strategies developed by Ribeiro et al (2019), capable as they are of minimizing the impact of information anxiety among workers from these new enterprises(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Introducción: Una buena condición física (CF) se relaciona, entre muchos beneficios, a modifica ciones funcionales y estructurales cerebrales que favorecen el aprendizaje. Objetivo: Analizar la aso ciación entre CF y rendimiento académico (RA) en escolares chilenos según sexo y determinar si la dependencia administrativa de la escuela influye en dicha asociación. Sujetos y Método: Estudio transversal sobre datos poblacionales de escolares de 8° básico evaluados por SIMCE-2011. La mues tra incluyó solo escolares de 13 y 14 años, de ambos sexos, con todas las pruebas de CF y RA rendidas. Los resultados de CF y RA fueron categorizados en malo, regular y bueno. Se realizó una regresión logística binaria explicando un buen RA a partir de las categorías de CF según sexo y dependencia administrativa, ajustando por edad, estado nutricional, nivel educacional de los padres y nivel so cioeconómico de la escuela. Resultados: De 19.929 registros se consideraron 12.338 escolares donde 47,9% fueron mujeres. Presentaron buena CF 33,4% de las mujeres y 49,5% de los hombres, y buen RA 16,9% y 21,5%, respectivamente. Escolares con buena CF presentaron más chances de alcanzar buen RA que escolares con mala CF (mujeres: 84% y hombres 78% más; p < 0,001). Considerando la dependencia administrativa, buena CF en mujeres de colegios municipales aumentó las posibilidades en 334% (p < 0,001) y en hombres de colegios particulares subvencionados, en 91% (p = 0,01). Con clusión: Tanto mujeres como hombres con buena CF tienen más posibilidades de alcanzar un buen RA. Al incluir la dependencia administrativa la asociación persiste en mujeres de colegios municipa les y en hombres de colegios particulares subvencionados.


Abstract: Introduction: Good physical fitness (PF) is related, among many benefits, to functional and structu ral brain changes that favor learning. Objective: To analyze the association between PF and academic performance (AP) in Chilean schoolchildren according to sex, and to determine if the kind of school dependency influences this association. Subjects and Method: Cross-sectional study analyzing po pulation data of 8th-grade students evaluated by the SIMCE-2011 test. The sample included only 13 and 14 years old students, of both sexes, with all PF and AP tests taken. The results of PF and AP tests were categorized as poor, regular, and good. A binary logistic regression was performed explaining a good AP from the PF categories according to sex, and kind of school dependency, adjusting for age, nutritional status, parents' educational level, and school socioeconomic level. Results: Out of 19,929 records, 12,338 schoolchildren were considered, where 47.9% were female. 33.4% of girls and 49.5% of boys presented good PF, and 16.9% and 21.5% presented good AP respectively. Schoolchildren with good PF had more chances of achieving good AP than those with poor PF (girls 84% and boys 78%, both p < 0.001). Considering the kind of school dependency, good PF in girls attending public schools increased the chances of achieving good AP by 334% (p < 0.001) and in boys attending sub sidized private schools by 91% (p = 0.01). Conclusion: Both girls and boys with good PF have more chances of achieving a good AP. By including the kind of school dependency, the association persists in girls attending public schools and boys attending subsidized private schools.

ABSTRACT

Resumo O objetivo do presente estudo foi adaptar transculturalmente o instrumento "The Body-related Self-Conscious Emotions Fitness Instrument (BSE-FIT)" para a língua portuguesa brasileira. O processo de adaptação envolveu as seguintes etapas: tradução do BSE-FIT para a língua portuguesa; avaliação pelo Comitê de Juízes; retrotradução; análise semântica; e pré-teste. Os membros do Comitê de Juízes apontaram dificuldades na tradução do termo "fitness" e questionaram que o significado da palavra na língua portuguesa é mais amplo do que "forma física", relacionando-o também ao que o corpo é capaz de fazer. Na análise semântica foram observadas dificuldades de compreensão no item 4 (orgulhoso do meu preparo físico superior) e optou-se por alterar para "orgulhoso do meu superior preparo físico" para facilitar o entendimento. Na etapa de pré-teste não foram observadas dificuldades de preenchimento ou compreensão dos itens e o processo de adaptação transcultural foi encerrado. Ao final, alcançaram-se as equivalências semântica, idiomática, conceitual e cultural do instrumento adaptado, além da validade de face e conteúdo. Contudo, para que o BSE-FIT possa ser empregado para a população brasileira é necessária a validação das propriedades métricas do mesmo, cujo estudo está em desenvolvimento.


Abstract The scope of this study was to conduct a transcultural adaptation of the Body-Related Self-Conscious Emotions Fitness Instrument (BSE-FIT) to Brazilian Portuguese. The adaptation process involved the following steps: translation of the BSE-FIT to Brazilian Portuguese; evaluation by the Committee of Judges; back-translation; semantic analysis; and pre-test. The members of the Committee highlighted the difficulties in translating the word "fitness" and suggested that the meaning in Brazilian Portuguese is more than "physical form," also relating it to what the body is capable of doing. In the semantic analysis, difficulty was observed in understanding item 4 (proud of my superior physical preparation) and the item was changed to "proud of my enhanced physical preparedness" to facilitate understanding. In the pre-test stage, there were no difficulties in completing or understanding the items and the process of cross-cultural adaptation was finalized. In the final analysis, the semantic, idiomatic, conceptual and cultural equivalence of the adapted instrument was achieved, and basic and content validity parameters were met. However, in order for BSE-FIT to be used in Brazil, it is necessary to validate the metric properties of the BSE-FIT, which is currently under study and being developed.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background Contextual factors involving the physical and social environment, as well as personal factors, are closely related to functional status, and they can have positive or negative influences on the health conditions or status of an individual in society. Objectives The objective is to evaluate the effect of a mindfulness-based intervention program on functional status and mindfulness levels in primary health care (PHC) professionals in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. Methods This is a quasi-experimental study, with 26 PHC professionals, using quantitative methods and an analytical before and after approach of an 8-week mindfulness program. Results There were significant differences in mindfulness facets after the intervention: Observe (p = 0.002); Describe - positive formulation (p = 0.01); Acting with awareness - automatic pilot (p = 0.01) and distraction (p = 0.05); Nonreactivity (p = 0.0005); Nonjudgement (p = 0.01); and in total mindfulness scores (p = 0.0000018). Regarding functional status, significant differences were found: change in health (p = 0.01), overall health (p = 0.007), quality of life (p = 0.04) and feelings (p = 0.01). Discussion The results in improving the functional status and mindfulness of PHC professionals show that mindfulness practices can improve the worker's quality of life and health.

ABSTRACT

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar a prevalência de insatisfação com a imagem corporal e verificar a associação entre a insatisfação pela magreza e pelo excesso de peso e componentes da aptidão física relacionada à saúde em adolescentes. Participaram 1.058 adolescentes (570 moças e 488 rapazes), com média de idade de 16,3(± 1,0) anos. As variáveis investigadas foram a insatisfação com a imagem corporal (escala de silhuetas), e as relativas à aptidão física relacionada à saúde: adiposidade corporal (dobras cutâneas), força muscular (preensão manual) e aptidão cardiorrespiratória (teste mCAFT). A associação entre a imagem corporal e as variáveis de aptidão física foi testada por meio da Regressão Multinomial. A prevalência de insatisfação corporal foi de 75,2% (moças = 79,5%; rapazes = 70,3%). Moças e rapazes com adiposidade corporal elevada tiveram menor chance de insatisfação pela magreza e maior chance de insatisfação pelo excesso de peso. Os que necessitavam melhorar a força muscular e a aptidão cardiorrespiratória tiveram maior chance de insatisfação pela magreza e pelo excesso de peso, respectivamente. Conclui-se que a aptidão física relacionada à saúde esteve associada à imagem corporal, sendo que os adolescentes com níveis menos saudáveis dos diferentes componentes foram os mais insatisfeitos.


Abstract The scope of this study was to estimate the prevalence of dissatisfaction with body image and verify the association between dissatisfaction with thinness or with overweight and health-related physical fitness components among adolescents. Participants included 1058 adolescents (570 girls and 488 boys), with mean age of 16.3 (±1.0) years. The investigated variables were dissatisfaction with body image (Figure Rating Scale), and health-related physical fitness: body fat (skin folds), muscle strength (handgrip strength) and cardiorespiratory fitness (mCAFT test). The association of body image and the health-related physical fitness variables was tested by Multinomial Regression analysis. The prevalence of body dissatisfaction was 75.2% (girls = 79.5%; boys = 70.3%). Girls and boys with high body fat were less likely to be dissatisfied with thinness and more likely to be dissatisfied with overweight. Those who needed to improve muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness were more likely to be dissatisfied with thinness and with overweight, respectively. In conclusion, physical fitness was associated with body image, with the adolescents with less healthy conditions of the components being more dissatisfied.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Introducción: Los padres son modelos fundamentales para trasmitir y enseñar hábitos de vida salu dable a sus hijos. Nuestro objetivo fue determinar la influencia del apoyo económico, motivacional y acompañamiento de los padres a sus hijos para realizar actividad física (AF) y su relación con el estado nutricional y capacidad cardiorrespiratoria en los escolares. Sujetos y Método: Estudio de corte transversal que incluyó a 70 escolares de seis años. Los padres completaron el cuestionario "The Parental Influence on Physical Activity Scale". Las variables antropométricas se midieron según la Norma Técnica Ministerial chilena para la supervisión de niños de 0 a 9 años, la intensidad de la AF se midió con acelerómetros triaxiales GT3X y la estimación del VO2máx se realizó utilizando el test Course de Navette. Resultados: El índice de masa corporal fue de 17,9 ± 2,9 kg/m2, la prevalencia de obesidad y el VO2máx fueron de 57,1%, y 38,05 ± 16,9 ml/kg/min, respectivamente. La AF moderada durante la clase de educación física (EF) fue significativamente mayor en niños en comparación a niñas (p < 0,006). El apoyo económico y motivacional de los padres no influyó significativamente en el peso corporal, IMC, perímetro de cintura, intensidad de la AF y VO2máx de los niños. Los niños acompañados por sus padres presentaron diferencias significativas con la AF moderada realizada en EF en comparación con quienes no eran acompañados (p = 0,023). Conclusiones: Acompañar a los hijos a realizar AF influye en la AF moderada que realizan los escolares en EF. Se debería continuar con este tipo de estudio y medir la AF diariamente.


Abstract: Introduction: Parents are key models for transmitting and teaching healthy lifestyle habits to their children. Our objective was to determine the influence of the economic and motivational support, and parental involvement in their children physical activity (PA) and its relationship with nutritio nal status and cardiorespiratory fitness. Subjects and Method: Cross-sectional study which included 70 six-year-old schoolchildren. Parents completed the "The Parental Influence on Physical Activity Scale" questionnaire. Anthropometric variables were measured according to the Chilean Ministerial Technical Standard for the supervision of children from 0 to 9 years old; PA intensity was measured with triaxial accelerometers GT3X and the VO2max estimation was performed using the Navette Course test. Results: The average body mass index was 17.9 ± 2.9 kg/m2, the obesity prevalence and VO2max were 57.1%, and 38.05 ± 16.9 ml/kg/min, respectively. Moderate PA during the physical education (PE) class was significantly higher in boys compared to girls (p < 0.006). The economic and motivational support of the parents did not significantly influence the body weight of the children, BMI, waist circumference, PA intensity, and VO2max. Children supported by their parent showed significant differences with moderate PA performed in PE compared to those who were not suppor ted by parents (p = 0.023). Conclusions: Parental support of their children in performing physical activity influences the levels of moderate PA that they do during PE classes. This type of study should be continued and the PA should be measured daily.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: las pruebas de condición física, desde el punto de vista biológico, son un procedimiento científico realizado bajo condiciones estandarizadas que miden diversas características de forma empírica, especificándose las mediciones médico-biológicas como indicadores fundamentales del rendimiento profesional de militares del ejército. Objetivo: comparar el rendimiento de los evaluados en la región costa y sierra utilizando cuatro test (carrera, flexiones de cadera, natación y trepar cabo) correspondientes a las pruebas físicas del personal Naval en el primer semestre del año 2015. Métodos: estudio de tipo observacional, retrospectivo, analítico y transversal, en el cual se evaluó a hombres y mujeres de edades comprendidas entre 18 y 30 años. Resultados: se observó que en el grupo masculino de la sierra comparado con el de la costa, hubo diferencia significativa en las disciplinas que evalúan fuerza (flexiones de cadera y trepar cabo). Conclusiones: el estudio evidenció que los factores ambientales (ej. presión barométrica, temperatura, humedad) no ejercen influencia en las pruebas físicas de fuerza realizadas en la región sierra. Además, es importante señalar que el rendimiento masculino y femenino de las dos regiones en las pruebas de natación sobrepasó las expectativas de las tablas de evaluación. Por tal motivo, como recomendación se debe realizar un nuevo estudio para estandarizar y determinar los puntos de corte adecuados para las respectivas pruebas físicas(AU)


Introduction: The physical fitness tests, from the biological point of view, are a scientific procedure performed under standard conditions that measure several characteristics in an empirical way, specifying the medical-biological measurements as essential indicators of the professional performance of army militaries. Objective: This paper is aimed at comparing the performance of the militaries evaluated in the coast and mountain regions using four tests (race, hip flexion, swimming and rope climbing) corresponding to the physical tests of the Navy staff in the first semester of 2015. Methods: The study was observational, retrospective, analytic and transversal, in which were evaluated men and women aged 18-30. Results: The statistical analysis reported that the male group of the mountain compared to the one of the coast showed a significant difference in the disciplines that evaluate strength (hip flexion and rope climbing). Conclusions: The study showed that the environmental factors (e.g: barometric pressure, temperature, humidity) have no influence in the physical tests of strength performed in the mountains. In addition, it is important to note that the male and female performance of the two regions in the swimming tests overcame the expectation of the evaluation charts. For that reason, as a recommendation, it is necessary to carry out a new study to standardize and determine the adequate cut off points for the respective physical tests(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Background Being overweight is associated not only with physical health problems, but also with risk of mental health problems. Increased physical activity (PA) has been recommended for the prevention of cardiovascular disease; however, little is known about the effect of walking on physical and mental health outcomes. Objective The purpose of the study was to explore the effectiveness of a pedometer-based PA intervention on physical and mental health states. Method Thirty-five overweight participants with body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg•m–2 were selected and assigned to a 12-week pedometer-based walking program (10,000 steps•d–1). The profile of mood states, BMI, waist circumference (WC), body fat percentage (%BF), and lean body mass (LBM) were measured before and after the 12-week intervention. The number of step counts was recorded 5 days a week in a diary booklet. Results The 30 participants who accumulated 10,000 steps•d–1 had significantly lower anxiety, depression, anger, fatigue, confusion, and total mood distress scores compared with measurements taken prior to the intervention. Further, the participants had higher vigor scores compared to baseline. Regarding physical health, the participants who accrued 10,000 steps a day had significantly lower body weight, WC, BMI, and %BP. After adjustment for gender, height, and daily steps at follow-up, changes in WC were negatively associated with depression, fatigue, confusion, and total mood distress. Conclusions An increase in PA by accumulating at least 10,000 steps•d–1 over a 12-week period improves physical and mood states in sedentary, overweight individuals.

ABSTRACT

Resumo O objetivo desta pesquisa foi comparar as variáveis antropométricas e de aptidão física de crianças e adolescentes de ambos os sexos em diferentes estágios de maturação sexual. Foram coletadas amostras de 436 escolares de Porto Velho, RO, 218 meninos e 218 meninas. Foi utilizado o protocolo de Tanner para dividir a amostra em relação aos estágios de 1 a 4 e na sequência foram coletados os dados de antropometria (peso, altura e IMC) e aptidão física (flexibilidade, força e corrida/caminhada). Este estudo caracterizou-se como "ex-post-facto", portanto, utilizou-se a média e desvio padrão, seguido de análise de variância (Anova "one-way") com "post-hoc" de Bonferroni, adotando um nível de significância de 5%. Não foram encontradas diferenças nas variáveis antropométricas para os dois sexos. Nos testes de aptidão física foram encontradas diferenças relativas à flexibilidade e corrida/caminhada no sexo feminino e nas variáveis força e corrida/caminhada no sexo masculino.


Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare the anthropometric and fitness variables of children and adolescents of both sexes at different stages of sexual maturation. The sample was composed by 436 students of Porto Velho, RO (218 boys and 218 girls). Tanner protocol was used to divide the sample in relation to the stages 1-4 and then anthropometry (weight, height and BMI) and physical fitness (flexibility, strength and run / walk) data were collected. This study was characterized as' 'ex post facto', so we used the mean and standard deviation, followed by analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) with post-hoc Bonferroni, adopting a significance level of 5 %. There were no differences in anthropometric variables for both sexes. However, differences were found in flexibility and run/walk for females and in strength and running/walking for males.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo buscou analisar as contribuições de atividades terapêuticas psicossociais e funcionais na autonomia e na aptidão física de seis idosos com doença de Alzheimer. A autonomia foi avaliada com a Escala ADL de Katz e a Aptidão física através da bateria de testes de Rikli e Jones. Os encontros com o grupo de idosos e cuidadores ocorreram quinzenalmente, perfazendo um total de 12 sessões. As atividades terapêuticas psicossociais e funcionais constaram de alongamentos, caminhada e dança, tendo cada sessão duração de aproximadamente 40 minutos. Na sequencia, os idosos realizavam atividades diversificadas de memorização através de jogos didáticos, quebra-cabeças, jogos de habilidades motoras finas e destrezas manuais, além de atividades sensoriais envolvendo gosto, tato e olfato. Os dados foram interpretados e descritos por meio da inferência percentual e da estatística descritiva. Após analisar os dados, observaram-se melhoras, de pré para pos-teste, nas variáveis: capacidade de transferir-se de um local para outro, em 6,7%, na continência, em 16,7%, e na capacidade para alimentar-se, em 66,7%, sendo esta ultima estatisticamente significativa (p=0,025). Os valores da aptidão física mostraram que os idosos estavam numa classificação muito abaixo do normal. Ao comparar esses valores em termos de media, de pré para o pos-teste, foi possível observar melhora estatisticamente significativa (p=0,012) somente na variável de flexibilidade de membros superiores. Sendo assim, foi possível concluir que um programa de atividades físicas para idosos com Alzheimer e muito importante, no entanto deve haver maior regularidade de sessões para que os resultados possam ser mais relevantes.


This study analyzed the contributions of conducting therapeutic activities in psychosocial and functional autonomy and fitness of six elderly with Alzheimer’s disease. To evaluate the independence used the Scale ADL-Katz. The physical fitness through the battery of tests Rikli and Jones. The meetings with the group of seniors and caregivers occurred biweekly for a total of 12 sessions. Psychosocial and functional therapeutic activities consisted of stretching, walking and dancing. This session lasted approximately 40 minutes after the elderly held diversified activities through Memorization educational games, puzzles games, fine motor skills and manual dexterity, and sensory activities involving taste, touch and smell. The data were interpreted and described by descriptive statistical inference, and percentage. After analyzing the data, we observed improvements, pre to post-test, the following variables: ability to transfer from one location to another, at 6.7%, continence, 16.7%, and the ability to feed, 66.7%, a statistically significant last (p = 0.025).The values of physical fitness showed that older people were much below normal, according to the classification for seniors. Participation in the activities proposed by the project influenced significantly (p = 0.012) only in the flexibility of the upper limbs. Thus, it was concluded that a physical activity program for seniors with Alzheimer’s, is very important, however there should be more regular sessions for the results to be more relevant.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate self-esteem and self-image of respiratory diseases patients in a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program, who participated in socialization and physical fitness activities, and of patients who participated only in physical fitness sessions. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional exploratory study. Out of a total of 60 patients analyzed, all enrolled in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program, 42 participated in at least one of the proposed activities, 10 did not participate in any activity and 8 were excluded (7 were discharged and 1 died). Results When the two groups were compared, despite the fact that both demonstrated low self-esteem and self-image, the difference between them was relevant (p<0.05) regarding self-esteem, indicating that those who participated in the proposed socialization activities had better self-esteem than the individuals who only did the physical fitness sessions. Regarding self-image, the difference between the groups was not relevant (p>0.05). Conclusion The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program patients evaluated presented low self-esteem and self-image; however, those carrying out some socialization activity proposed had better self-esteem as compared to the individuals who did only the physical fitness sessions. .


Objetivo Avaliar a autoestima e a autoimagem de pacientes com doenças respiratórias de um Programa de Reabilitação Pulmonar, que participaram de atividades de socialização e de treinamento físico e de pacientes que participaram apenas de treinamentos físicos. Métodos Estudo exploratório descritivo e transversal. Foram analisados 60 pacientes, todos inclusos em um Programa de Reabilitação Pulmonar. Destes, 42 participaram de pelo menos uma das atividades propostas, 10 não participaram das atividades e 8 foram excluídos (7 tiveram alta e 1 faleceu), não respondendo ao questionário de autoimagem e autoestima. Resultados Quando comparados os dois grupos, apesar de ambos terem apresentado autoestima e autoimagem baixas, a diferença entre eles foi significativa (p<0,05) com relação à autoestima: aqueles que participaram de atividades de socialização propostas pela equipe tiveram autoestima melhor que a dos sujeitos que participam apenas do treinamento físico. Já quanto à autoimagem, a diferença entre os grupos não foi significativa (p>0,05). Conclusão Os pacientes do Programa de Reabilitação Pulmonar avaliados apresentaram baixas autoestima e autoimagem, porém aqueles que realizaram alguma atividade de socialização proposta tiveram a autoestima maior comparada à dos que fizeram apenas o treinamento físico. .

ABSTRACT

"The study examined the physical and psychological variables influencing maternal non-compliance with immunization schedules of children 0-2 years. The descriptive survey research design was used for the study. A questionnaire tagged ""Maternal Non-compliance with Immunization Schedule Questionnaire (MNCWISQ) was used for data collection. Three hypotheses were tested; using pearson product moment correlation. The study established that there was a significant relationship between physical factors (location of immunization services/access to immunization centres/distance to immunization centres) and non-compliance with immunization schedule (r- .47; df = 298; p.05). Psychological factor (mothers' knowledge about immunization) was also found to be significantly associated with non compliance with immunization schedule (r"

ABSTRACT

A aptidão cardiorrespiratória parece estar positivamente relacio nadaao desempenho cognitivo. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do estudo foianalisar a relação entre a aptidão cardiorrespiratória e a função cognitivaem indivíduos idosos. Participaram deste estudo 90 idosos commédia de idade de 69,3±3,5 anos, inseridos nos programas de exercíciosfísicos da UDESC e do CATI da Grande Florianópolis, no anode 2009. Foram utilizados: entrevista semiestruturada para identificaras características sociodemográficas e clínicas; questionário Miniexamedo Estado Mental para avaliar a função cognitiva e Teste deCaminhada de uma Milha, para classificar a amostra quanto à capacidadecardiorrespiratória. Os valores do teste de caminhada foramestratificados em três grupos de aptidão física: abaixo da média, namédia e acima da média, para a idade. Foram realizadas análisesestatísticas descritivas e inferenciais. Verificaram-se diferenças estatisticamentesignificantes (p<0,05) entre os três grupos da aptidãocardiorrespiratória quanto ao sexo, à escolari dade e à renda. Observou-se tendência maior de declínio cognitivo em idosos com aptidãocardiorrespiratória abaixo da média. O estudo sugere existir uma relaçãodiretamente proporcional entre a capacidade cardiorrespiratória ea função cognitiva em indivíduos idosos.


The cardiorespiratory fitness seems to be positively related to thecognitive function. The objective of this study was to analyze therelation between the cardiorespiratory fitness and the cognitive functionin older adults. Ninety individuals, participants of programs ofphysical exercises, with average of age of 69,3±3,5 years, had beenselected. Semi-structures interviews had been applied to identify social,demographic and clinical characteristics. The “Mini-mental stateexamination” had been applied to evaluate the cognitive function andWalked Test of a Mile had been used to classify the cardiorespiratoryfitness. The walked test values had been divided in three groups ofcardiorespiratory fitness: below the average; in the average and abovethe average, for the age. Its statistical analyses descriptive andinferential had been used. Significant statistical differences (p<0,05)had been founded when comparing the cardiorespiratory fitnesswith the sex, years of study and economic level. Bigger trend ofcognitive decline was observed when the cardiorespiratory fitnesswas below the average. This study suggests that exist a directlyproportional relation between the cardiorespiratory fitness and thecognitive function in older adults.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do estudo foi verificar se há relação entre capacidadesmotoras de idosas submetidas a um programa físico compostopor dois tipos de atividade física (hidroginástica e alongamento). Aamostra foi composta por 23 indivíduos saudáveis e ativos do sexofeminino, com idades entre 60 e 80 anos. Os sujeitos foram divididosem dois grupos etários (GR1 = 60 a 69 anos, GR2 = 70 a80). Os instrumentos foram testes físicos da bateria ‘Senior FitnessTest’ de Rikli e Jones (2008). As capacidades motoras avaliadasforam: flexibilidade de membros inferiores (FLEXMI); força de membrosinferiores (FMI); flexibilidade de membros superiores (FLEXMS);força de membros superiores (FMS); agilidade/equilíbrio (AE); e resistênciaaeróbica (RESAER). O tratamento estatístico foi realizadoatravés da correlação de Pearson do programa SPSS 18.0. Foramencontradas, no GR1, correlações entre: FMI e FLEXMI, FMI e AE,FMI e RESAER, FLEXMI e RESAER, AE e RESAER. No GR2, a únicacorrelação encontrada foi entre AE e RESAER. Os componentes daaptidão física, nos idosos mais jovens, apresentaram, neste estudo,maior número de correlações, indicando que incrementos em umacapacidade motora podem gerar melhoras noutra. Estudos comdiferentes atividades físicas são necessários para confirmar essasrelações.


The aim of the study was to verify if there is association between themotor capacities of older women undergoing a physical programcomposed of two types of activities (hydrogymnastics and stretching).The sample consisted of 23 healthy and active female, agedbetween 60 and 80 years. The subjects were divided into two agegroups (GR1 = 60 to 69 years, GR2 = 70 to 80). The instrument wasthe ‘Senior Fitness Test’ of Rikli and Jones (2008). Motor capacitiesevaluated were: lower limbs flexibility (FLEXMI), lower limbs strength(FMI), upper limbs flexibility (FLEXMS), upper limbs strength (FMS), agility / balance (AE) and aerobic resistance (RESAER). Statisticalanalysis was performed using the Pearson’s Correlation of SPSS18.0. In GR1, the correlations were found between: FMI e FLEXMI,FMI e AE, FMI e RESAER, FLEXMI e RESAER, AE e RESAER. InGR2, the only correlation was found between AE and RESAER. Thecomponents of physical aptitude, in younger elderly, presented, inthis study, a higher number of correlations, indicating that increasesin a component can lead to improvements in another. Studies withdifferent types of activities are needed to confirm these relationships.

ABSTRACT

Emoção é definida como um conjunto complexo de motivos subjetivos que podem influenciar de maneira positiva ou negativa o desempenho esportivo. Objetivo, compreender e analisar as emoções vivenciadas pelos jogadores no momento pré-competitivo. Foram avaliados 48 jogadores do sexo masculino da modalidade basquetebol convocados para da Seleção Brasileira Juvenil (N=30) e Adulta (N=18). Questão aberta semi estruturada: “Escreva como você se sente no momento antes de competir”. A análise qualitativa dos fenômenos emocionais reduziu os discursos em nove categorias. As emoções pré competitivas são reflexos do processo cognitivo sobre a expectativa do desempenho e são dependentes do tempo de experiência. Quanto mais importante e incerto for o resultado esportivo, mais os atletas tendem a experienciar as emoções relacionadas à preocupação e ansiedade.


Emotion is defined as a complex set of subjective reasons which can influence sports performance positive or negatively. This study aims at understanding and analyzing the emotions experienced by players before competition. To this end, 48 male basketball players summoned for the Brazilian National Young (N+30) and Adult (N=18) were asked an open semi-structured question: “Write how you feel before competition”. The qualitative analysis has reduced the discourses in nine categories. Pre-competitive emotions are reflections of the cognitive process on the performance expectation and are dependent on experience. The more important and uncertain the sport result is the more athletes tend to experience emotions involving uneasiness and anxiety.
