ABSTRACT

El análisis de la técnica deportiva desde el punto de vista biomecánico posibilita controlar los supuestos que conforman la técnica deportiva específica para su futuro perfeccionamiento, esto es esencial en la toma de decisiones como parte del proceso de dirección deportiva, sobre todo en deportes poco estudiados como es el powerlifting. En tal sentido, se determinó como objetivo de la investigación analizar biomecánicamente la técnica de sentadilla libre en el levantamiento de potencia por géneros. La investigación fue de tipo descriptiva-correlacional. Se estudiaron a 42 levantadores con rango etario entre 17-28 años, clasificados en dos grupos independientes según el género. Se estudió la técnica de la sentadilla libre en cuatro variables de análisis. No se evidenciaron diferencias significativas en ninguna de las variables analizadas. Se incluyó el ángulo de la rodilla (p=0.845), el pico de velocidad máxima (p=0.095) y la trayectoria del movimiento en su eje X (p=0.979) y su eje Y (p=0.845). No se evidenciaron diferencias entre los rangos etarios de los géneros estudiados (p=0.237). La técnica de sentadilla libre analizada, en su comparación por géneros, no evidenció diferencias significativas, aspecto que permitió deducir un nivel técnico similar entre los géneros estudiados. Se concluyó que, si es correcta la ejecución motriz específica en el deporte estudiado, el componente técnico del entrenamiento deportivo en powerlifting se cumple satisfactoriamente e independientemente del género entrenado.


SÍNTESE A análise da técnica esportiva do ponto de vista biomecânico permite controlar as suposições que compõem a técnica esportiva específica para seu futuro aperfeiçoamento, isto é essencial na tomada de decisões como parte do processo de gestão esportiva, especialmente em esportes pouco estudados, como o powerlifting. Neste sentido, o objetivo da pesquisa era analisar biomecanicamente a técnica de agachamento livre no powerlifting por gênero. A pesquisa foi descritivo-correlacional. Foram estudados 42 elevadores com idades entre 17-28 anos, classificados em dois grupos independentes de acordo com o gênero. A técnica do agachamento livre foi estudada em quatro variáveis de análise. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas em nenhuma das variáveis analisadas. Foram incluídos o ângulo do joelho (p=0,845), a velocidade máxima de pico (p=0,095) e a trajetória do movimento em seu eixo X (p=0,979) e eixo Y (p=0,845). Não foram evidentes diferenças entre as faixas etárias dos gêneros estudados (p=0,237). A técnica de agachamento livre analisada, em sua comparação por gênero, não mostrou diferenças significativas, um aspecto que nos permitiu deduzir um nível técnico semelhante entre os gêneros estudados. Concluiu-se que, se a execução motora específica no esporte estudado estiver correta, o componente técnico do treinamento esportivo em powerlifting é cumprido satisfatoriamente e independentemente do gênero treinado.


The analysis of the sports technique from the biomechanical point of view makes it possible to control the assumptions that make up the specific sports technique for its future improvement, this is essential in decision-making as part of the sports management process, especially in sports little studied as It's powerlifting. In this sense, the research objective was to biomechanically analyze the free squat technique in power lifting by gender. The research was descriptive-correlational. Forty-two lifters with an age range between 17-28 years were studied, classified into two independent groups according to gender. The free squat technique was studied in four analysis variables. No significant differences were found in any of the variables analyzed. The knee angle (p=0.845), the maximum speed peak (p=0.095) and the trajectory of the movement in its X axis (p=0.979) and its Y axis (p=0.845) were included. No differences were found between the age ranges of the genders studied (p=0.237). The analyzed free squat technique, in its comparison by gender, did not show significant differences, an aspect that allowed us to deduce a similar technical level between the genders studied. It was concluded that, if the specific motor execution in the sport studied is correct, the technical component of sports training in powerlifting is satisfactorily fulfilled and regardless of the gender trained.

ABSTRACT

A colloid with a species specific silane-coated, silica-based formulation, optimized for stallion (Androcoll-E™), enables a better sub-population of spermatozoa to be selected from stallion ejaculates. However, such a practice has not been critically evaluated in stallions with fertility problems. In this study we evaluate whether single-layer centrifugation (SLC) through Androcoll-E™ could be used to enhance fertility rates in a subfertile stallion. Ejaculates were obtained from two different stallions, one Lusitano (fertile) and one Sorraia (subfertile), with distinct sperm characteristics and fertility. Motility, morphology, plasma membrane structural (eosin-nigrosin) and functional integrity (HOS test), mitochondrial functionality (Δψm; JC-1) and longevity (motility after 72 h cooling) after centrifugation in Androcoll-E™, as well as pregnancy rates obtained after artificial insemination (AI), with and without (control group) SLC-treated sperm were assessed. The effect of SLC on sperm characteristics, and fertility results were evaluated by ANOVA and Fisher procedures, respectively. Our results showed that SLC-selected sperm did not differ from the raw semen in terms of viability, morphology, response to hypo-osmotic conditions (HOS test) and mitochondrial membrane potential (↑ΔΨmit; JC-1). Sperm motility in cooled samples was not improved by SLC treatment. Our data show that SLC through Androcoll-E™ has no effect on pregnancy rates in the stallions used in this trial.

ABSTRACT

La creciente complejidad de la investigación biomédica con seres humanos genera muchos conflictos éticos que se suman a la dificultad de cumplir con todos los requisitos impuestos por una legislación en bioética. La Secretaría Municipal de Salud de Manaus (MHCO, en inglés), en el la Región Norte de Brasil, ya tenía un intercambio con universidades locales que no era gestionado por ningún sector en específico, por lo que los proyectos de investigación se autorizaban sin análisis de viabilidad o relevancia y sin ningún seguimiento de acciones dentro del sistema de salud local. En 2008, la MHCO creó la Co-misión de Ética de la Investigación (RECO, en inglés). Entonces, ¿constituye la MHCO un campo para la investigación? Hay que decir que sí en el sentido de que, del sistema local de salud, parten temas y servicios que caracterizan por completo a la salud y a la ciudad en sí. Entre 2008 y 2011, el total de proyectos presentados para trabajar dentro de los establecimientos de salud asciende a 282, relacionados con trabajos de pregrado y postgrado. La MHCO representa una acción del gobierno local para supervisar las actividades de investigación en el sistema local de salud y, al mismo tiempo, atrae la atención de los empleados públicos como investigadores de su propio entorno laboral. Dicha acción contribuye a identificar problemas a nivel interno y revela la forma en que la sociedad de Manaus ve al sistema de salud. Articulo de reflexión.


The growing complexity of biomedical investigation with human beings generates many conflicts regarding ethical values that add up to the difficulty of fulfilling all the requirements imposed by the legislation on bioethics. Manaus Health City Office (MHCO), in North Brazil, had already had a long time exchange program with local universities which was not managed by a specific sector, so research projects were authorized without further analysis of feasibility, relevance, or a follow-up of its actions within the local health system. In 2008, MHCO created the Research Ethics Commission (RECO). So, is MHCO a field for research? We ought to say yes inasmuch as from the local health system stem subjects and services completely characterizing the health and the city itself. From 2008 to 2011, the number of submitted projects intended to be implemented inside the health establishments was 282, concerning undergraduate and graduate papers. MHCO represents an action of the local government in monitoring research activity in the local health system and, at the same time, catches the attention of public employees as researchers of their own environment of work. This action helps to identify internal problems and shows the impression Manaus society has in relation to the health system.


A crescente complexidade da pesquisa biomédica com seres humanos gera muitos conflitos éticos que contribuem para a dificuldade de satisfazer todas as exigências impostas pela legislação sobre bioética. A Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Manaus, na região norte do Brasil, já tinha um intercâmbio com universidades locais que não eram geridos por qualquer sector específico, para que os projectos de investigação foram autorizados sem análise de viabilidade ou de relevância e de quaisquer acções de acompanhamento no âmbito do sistema de saúde local. Em 2008, a Secretaria criou o Comitê de ética da pesquisa. E ben, ¿constitui o Secretariado um campo de pesquisa? Deve ser dito que sí, por causa do sistema de saúde local partem assuntos e serviços que caracterizam completamente para a saúde e para a cidade. Entre 2008 e 2011, o número total de projetos apresentados para o trabalho em estabelecimentos de saúde foi 282, do trabalho de graduação e pós-graduação. A Secretaria representa a ação do governo local para monitorar as atividades de pesquisa no sistema de saúde local e, ao mesmo tempo, atrai a atenção dos funcionários públicos, como os pesquisadores em seu próprio ambiente de trabalho. Esta ação ajuda a identificar problemas internamente e revela a maneira em que a sociedade de Manaus vê o sistema de saúde.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Poor adherence to non-pharmacological treatment of hypertension represents a serious challenge for public health policies in several countries. This study was conducted to compare two intervention strategies regarding the adherence of adult women to dietary changes recommended for the treatment of hypertension in a community covered by Primary Health Care Unit. METHODS: This study is a randomized controlled trial of a sample composed of 28 women with hypertension enrolled in the Primary Health Care Unit located in the urban area of southeastern Brazil. The participants were already undergoing treatment for hypertension but devoid of nutritional care; and were divided into two groups, each composed of 14 individuals, who received interventions that consisted of two different strategies of nutritional guidance: monthly health education workshops alone (Group 1) and combined with family orientation through home visits (Group 2). Adherence to nutritional guidelines was evaluated by dietary, anthropometric, clinical and serum biochemical parameters, measured before and after the interventions. Knowledge on control and risk of hypertension was also investigated. The study lasted five months. RESULTS: Mean age was 55.6 (± 2.8) and 50.7 (± 6.5) in the groups 1 and 2, respectively. The home orientation strategy promoted greater adherence to dietary changes, leading to a statistically significant improvement in the clinical, anthropometric, biochemical and dietary parameters. The group 2 reduced the consumption of risk foods (p = 0.01), oil (p = 0.002) and sugar (p = 0.02), and decreased body mass index (-0.7 kg/m2; p = 0.01); waist circumference (-4.2 cm; p = 0.001), systolic blood pressure (-13 mm HG; p = 0.004) and glycemia (-18.9 mg/dl; p = 0. 01). In group 1 only waist circumference (-2 cm; p = 0.01) changed significantly. CONCLUSION: Nutritional orientations at the household level were more effective with regard to the adherence of individuals to non-pharmacological treatment of hypertension, regarding the reduction of clinical and behavioral risk parameters.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: a Organização Mundial da Saúde recomenda a prática de aleitamento materno exclusivo por seis meses e a partir dessa idade introduzir alimentos complementares até os dois anos. Objetivo: avaliar o nível de conhecimento e incorporação do saber sobre aleitamento materno de gestantes e nutrizes usuárias da Estratégia Saúde da Família, Teixeiras-MG. Casuística e método: foi realizado estudo transversal descritivo cuja coleta de dados se deu por meio de entrevistas individuais utilizando-se questionário semiestruturado, nas Unidades de Atenção Primária de Saúde, antes das consultas pré-natais e puericulturas e em visitas domiciliares. Resultados: a duração de aleitamento materno exclusivo relatado foi de quatro meses. Destaca-se que 66% das entrevistadas já haviam recebido algum tipo de orientação, 34% por meio de consultas pré-natais e 31% por palestras realizadas pela equipe de Nutrição da Universidade Federal de Viçosa. Observou-se que as mulheres que receberam orientação acerca do aleitamento materno apresentaram 99,93% menos de chance de responder que o leite é fraco, obtendo resultado estatisticamente significante. Conclusão: ressalta-se a importância das informações sobre aleitamento materno serem transmitidas à população de modo eficaz, estimulando a prática do aleitamento em todas as classes sociais.


Introduction: The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding over the six months after birth, and complementary food should be provided after this period until age of 2 years. Objective: To assess breastfeeding knowledge and knowledge application among women assisted by the Family Health Strategy in Teixeiras, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Casuistics and method: A descriptive cross-sectional study of data collected by means of individual semi-structured interviews carried out before prenatal and childcare appointments at Primary Health Care Units as well as in domiciliary visits. Results: Exclusive breastfeeding was reported to take place for four months. Among the interviewees, 66% had had some orientation: 34% at prenatal appointments, and 31% at lectures organized by the Nutrition team of the Federal University of Viþosa. Women that had had breastfeeding orientation were 99,93% less likely to report that breast milk is weak ? a figure that is statistically significant. Conclusion: It is important that information on breastfeeding be given to population efficiently in order to encourage breastfeeding among all the social classes.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To obtain the prevalence of disordered eating (DE) among student female adolescents from public high schools in 17 urban settings in the Mexican Republic, across age, setting and region. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The sample comprised 4358 female students 15 to 19 years of age. DE was evaluated with a validated and standardized questionnaire for Mexican adolescents with 2 cutoff points: moderate-DE and high-DE. RESULTS: The total prevalence of moderate-DE was 14.2% and 6.8% for high-DE. Significant statistical differences were found only for high-DE across settings, were the Estado de Mexico reached the highest score (12.1%) and Aguascalientes the lowest (2.1%). The north region obtained the highest scores for both moderate (17.2%) and high-DE (9.7%), whereas the center-west region obtained the second place for moderate-DE (15.1%) and the center region for high-DE (11.5%). The center region showed the lowest scores for moderate-DE (11.5%) and the south-southeast region the lowest for high-DE (4.5%). The analysis across age showed a positive relationship for both moderate and high-DE. CONCLUSIONS: The total prevalence of DE was 6.8%. Age, socioeconomic status and the place of residence seem to be variables that relate to disordered eating.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Identificar hábitos e práticas alimentares inadequados apresentados por hipertensos e diabéticos usuários da Estratégia Saúde da Família, de Teixeiras (MG), visando ao desenvolvimento de estratégias de intervenção em saúde. MÉTODOS: Estudo descritivo de delineamento transversal, utiliza questionários semi-estruturados para entrevistar 10,3 por cento dos hipertensos e 15,0 por cento dos diabéticos, selecionados de forma probabilística e aleatória. RESULTADOS: Houve uma predominância de mulheres (74,4 por cento), de idosos (média=63,59, DP=13,12 anos) e de pessoas com baixa renda (mediana=0,5 salário-mínimo). Os hipertensos e os diabéticos apresentaram, respectivamente, pequeno fracionamento das refeições (mediana=3,0/4,0), elevado consumo per capita diário de açúcar (M=165,63g, DP=118,93 e 105,13g, DP=48,7), sal (M=22,63g, DP=22,26 e M=12,96g, DP=16,73), óleo (M=64,13mL, DP=38,09 e M=61,29mL, DP=35,57) e banha de porco (18,8 por cento e 13,3 por cento). Entretanto, 97,3 por cento e 96,7 por cento não adicionavam sal às preparações prontas, 72,5 por cento e 86 por cento utilizavam somente óleo vegetal para preparar as refeições e 15,4 por cento e 90,0 por cento utilizavam adoçante artificial. CONCLUSÃO: Estratégias de cuidado em saúde devem ser desenvolvidas para incentivar mudanças nestes hábitos, objetivando a prevenção e o controle das complicações relacionadas a estas morbidades.


OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify inappropriate dietary habits shown by hypertensive and diabetic patients registered in the Family Health Strategies Program, in the city of Teixeiras (MG), Brazil, aiming towards the development of health intervention strategies. METHODS: In this descriptive, cross-sectional study, semi-structured questionnaires were used to interview 10.3 percent of the hypertensive and 15.0 percent of the diabetic patients, which were probabilistically and randomly selected. RESULTS: Most (74.4 percent) of these patients were older women (mean age of 63.59, SD=13.12 years) with low income (an average of 0.5 minimum wage). These hypertensive and diabetic patients had a small number of daily meals (mean=3.0/4.0) and consumed high amounts of sugar (M=165.63g, SD=118.93 and M=105.13g, SD=48.7), salt (M=22.63g, SD=22.26 and M=12.96g, SD=16.73), oil (M=60g, SD=43.23), and lard (18.8 percent and 13.3 percent) daily. However, 97.3 percent and 96.7 percent respectively did not add salt to the ready-to-eat preparations, 72.5 percent and 86 percent respectively used only vegetable oil to prepare their meals, and 15.4 percent and 90 percent respectively of the interviewed patients used artificial sweetener. CONCLUSION: Heath care strategies need to be developed to stimulate changes in these habits to prevent and control the complications related to these morbidities.

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to outline the social-sanitary profile and the lifestyle of hypertense and/or diabetic people from the city of Texeiras- MG. Semi-structured household interviews were conducted with hypertensive and/or diabetic people randomly selected from the Family Health Program of the city of Teixeiras--MG. A total of 150 hypertensive (10% of the hypertensive population) and 30 diabetics (12.98% of the diabetic population) people were interviewed. There were a predominance of elder people (average age = 63.59 + 13.12 years old), mostly women (74.4%), with low literacy (40.9% of illiterates) and low income (average = 0.5 minimum wage). The treatment was basically the use of medication (96.6%), and there was a high prevalence of sedentary people (67.4%). Besides that, there was a daily high intake per capita of sugar (153 g + 110.66 g), salt (18 g + 21.26 g) and oil (60 g + 43.23 g) . The results of this study showed the importance of a multi-professional intervention by means of the Family Health Program with the objective of promoting the adoption of healthy habits and lifestyle in order to prevent complications of these morbidities, and to provide a better life quality to these people.

ABSTRACT

A nutrição materna exerce grande impacto no resultado da gestação e sobre a saúde da mulher e da criança durante a lactação. O artigo relata um estudo transversal, realizado de abril a julho de 2007, com 80,76 por cento (n igual a 21) das gestantes e 55,53 por cento (n igual a 62) das mães do meio urbano,atendidas no Programa Saúde da Família do município de Teixeiras-MG, com o objetivo de conhecer aspectos relacionados aos seus hábitos e práticasalimentares. Os dados foram levantados com auxílio de questionários durante visitas domiciliares e analisados no programa SPSS for Windows versão 11.5. Os resultados mostraram inadequações em aspectos como: consumo hídrico médio abaixo das recomendações (3,0 L por dia e 3,8 L por dia) em 90,47 por cento das gestantes e em 100 por cento das mães, respectivamente. Observou-se um elevado consumo per capita diário de sal, açúcar e óleo; com médias equivalentesa 7,33 g, 73,25 g e 33,94 mL nas gestantes e 6,51 g, 63,7 g e 25,59 mL nas mães. Diante disso, percebe-se a necessidade de estratégias de atenção à saúde a esse grupo populacional referente ao cuidado nutricional, destacando-se a educação para a saúde com conscientização da necessidade de adoção de hábitos e estilos de vida saudáveis visando à promoção da saúde e prevenção de agravos e enfermidades.


Mothers’ nutrition has a great impact in gestation and on pregnant women health and children during lactation. The article reports atransversal study carried through from April to July 2007 with 80,76 per cent (n iqual for equal for 21) of urban pregnant women and 55,53 per cent (n equal for 62) of mothers assistedby the Program Health of the Family in Teixeiras-MG aiming to know aspects related to alimentary practices and habits. Data were collected bydomiciliary questionnaires during visits and analyzed by the SPSS for Windows program, version 11.5. Results show inadequate habits regarding anaverage hydric substances’ consumption below the recommendations (3,0 L for day and 3,8 L for day) in 90.47 per cent of pregnant women and 100 per cent of mothers, respectively. One observed a high daily per capita consumption of salt, sugar and oil; with averages of 7,33 g, 73,25 g and 33,94 mL in pregnant womenand 6,51 g, 63,7 g and 25,59 mL in mothers. This proves the necessity of developing strategies of health assistance directed to this population group as regards nutritional care, mainly education for health with awareness of the necessity of adopting healthful habits and styles of life aiming to thepromotion of health and the prevention of aggravations and diseases.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi traçar o perfil sociossanitário e estilo de vida da população hipertensa e/ou diabética do município de Teixeiras (MG). Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas nos domicílios de hipertensos e/ou diabéticos cadastrados no Programa de Saúde da Família de Teixeiras (MG), selecionados aleatoriamente. Foram entrevistados 150 hipertensos (10,33 por cento da população hipertensa) e 30 diabéticos (15 por cento da população diabética), havendo uma predominância de indivíduos idosos (idade média=63,59 + 13,12 anos), do sexo feminino (74,4 por cento), de baixa escolaridade (40,9 por cento de analfabetismo) e de baixa renda (mediana de 0,5 salário mínimo). O tratamento destas morbidades foi basicamente medicamentoso (96,6 por cento); houve uma elevada prevalência do sedentarismo (67,4 por cento). Além disso, houve um grande consumo per capita diário de açúcar (153g + 110,66g), sal (18g + 21,26g) e óleo (60g + 43,23g). Os resultados obtidos apontam para a importância de intervenções multiprofissionais, por meio do Programa de Saúde da Família, com o objetivo de promover a adoção de hábitos e estilos de vida saudáveis, prevenir complicações dessas doenças e proporcionar melhoria da qualidade de vida.

ABSTRACT

Tem por objetivo avaliar o conhecimento dos hipertensos e diabéticos cadastrados no Programa de Saúde daFamília do município de Teixeiras-MG, sobre suas patologias, visando ao desenvolvimento de estratégias de empoderamento/ libertação deste grupo populacional, essenciais na viabilizaçãode políticas de promoção da saúde, prevenção e controle destas enfermidades. Estudo transversal, realizado por meio da aplicação de questionários semi-estruturados através de entrevistas a uma amostra de 10,33% dos hipertensos e 15% dos diabéticos. Houve predominância de indivíduos idosos, do sexo feminino, de baixa escolaridade e renda; 40,0% dosdiabéticos e 69,14% dos hipertensos não souberam conceituar as doenças. Em relação ao nível de conhecimento sobre as causas e sintomas, 50% dos diabéticos as desconheciam; dos hipertensos, 37,14% desconheciam as causas e 12,57%, os sintomas. Em relação às complicações decorrentes das doenças, 33,33% dos diabéticos e 33,14% dos hipertensos as desconheciam. Quanto às formas de tratamento, 16,67% dos diabéticos e 10,86% dos hipertensos não souberam informar. Destaca-se a importância da implementação de estratégias de cuidado em saúde a estes grupos populacionais, voltadas à conscientização sanitária e aos fatores condicionantes e complicadores das enfermidades, visando a proporcionar uma educação em saúde mais efetiva, visto que a mudança de hábitos e a conscientização jamais se separam - toda transformação deve estar intimamente associada à tomada deconsciência da situação real vivida pelo sujeito. Para isto é necessário o comprometimento dos profissionais de saúde, visando a uma participação livre e crítica dos usuários, contribuindo para o empoderamento/libertação deste grupo populacional, questões essenciais para a viabilização de políticas de promoção da saúde e prevenção de agravos e controle de enfermidades.


This paper aims to evaluate the knowledge of the diabetic and high blood pressure patients from the Family Health Program in the city of Teixeiras-MG, about their illnesses, aiming to develop their empowering/freedom strategies, essential to promote health, to prevent and control such diseases. It is a cross-sectional study, with semistructured questionnaires, interviewing 10.33% of the high bloodpressure and to 15% of the diabetic patients. Most patients were aged individuals, female, with low educational level and income. A total of 40.0% of the diabetic, and 69.14% of the high blood pressure patients could not define these diseases; 50% of the diabetic could not tell the cause and symptoms of their disease; 37.14% of the high blood pressure patients were unaware of the cause and 12.57% were unaware of their symptoms. In terms of the complications associated to their diseases, 33.14% of the diabetic and 33.33% of the high blood pressure patients were unaware of them. About 16.67% of the diabetic and 10.86% of the high blood pressure patients could not inform how to treat these diseases. It is important to implement health carestrategies for these population groups, aiming awareness of health, its conditioning factors, and factors that complicate the diseases, so as to have a more effective health education process, once the changes in habits and awareness should always together be side by side - every transformation should be closely associated to the awareness of the situation which the subject lives. The latter takes the commitment of the health care staff, aiming a free and critical participation of the users, contributing to the empowering/freedom of this population, essential to the development of health promotion policies, prevention of disorders and diseases control.
