ABSTRACT
Resumen El culturismo es un deporte asociado con alteraciones psicológicas, afecciones en la salud y deterioro en las relaciones interpersonales. Aunque las mujeres no están exentas, la mayoría de los estudios se han realizado en hombres. Método: El objetivo de esta investigación fue describir el consumo de sustancias ergogénicas, la dependencia al ejercicio y la presencia de síntomas de TCA y DM, en usuarias de gimnasio. La búsqueda de información se realizó en PubMed, PsycInfo y Medline. Se siguieron los lineamientos de la declaración PRISMA y se evaluó la calidad metodológica. Se incluyeron 22 estudios en la revisión. Resultados: Los estudios fueron publicados durante las últimas dos décadas y la mayoría se realizaron en Europa y en América. Un porcentaje importante de culturistas competidoras y recreativas tienen dependencia al ejercicio (29.6%). Se encontró alta prevalencia de consumo de suplementos alimenticios (50.7%) y esteroides anabólicos (41.7%), así como síntomas de TCA (46.6%) y DM. Conclusiones: La información obtenida aún es limitada, debido a que la mayoría de los investigadores han evaluado las variables de interés por separado. Se requieren más estudios que contribuyan a la comprensión de este fenómeno en usuarias de gimnasio. Los resultados se discuten a luz de investigaciones previas.
Abstract Bodybuilding is a sport associated with psychological disorders, health disease and deterioration in interpersonal relationships. Although women are not exempt, most studies have been done on men. Method: The objective of this research was to describe the consumption of ergogenic substances, dependence on exercise and the presence of symptoms of ED and DM, in female gym users. The information search was performed in PubMed, PsycInfo and Medline. The guidelines of the PRISMA declaration were followed and the methodological quality was evaluated. Twenty-two studies were included in the review. Results: The studies were published during the last two decades and most were conducted in Europe and America. An important percentage of competitive and recreational bodybuilders are dependent on exercise (29.6%). A high prevalence of consumption of food supple ments (50.7%) and anabolic steroids (41.7%) was found, as well as symptoms of ED (46.6%) and DM. Conclusions: The information obtained is still limited, since most researchers have evaluated the variables of interest separately. More studies are required to contribute to the understanding of this phenomenon in gym users. The results are discussed in the light of previous research.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of specific emotional treatment in patients with adjustment disorder (AD) with depressed mood (DSM-IV-TR: 309.0) as a consequence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (ICD 10: 410.0-9), which renders treatment even more difficult. The present study proposed a new therapeutic technique (mirror therapy) to compare this with other therapies. Our objective was to select among three different treatment types the most effective treatment against AD in patients with AMI. METHODS: We used a quasi-experimental design for four groups with three evaluations each, which we carried out at three Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) hospitals in the metropolitan zone of Mexico City. We conducted a random test of 144 patients of both genders between 30 and 60 years of age diagnosed with AMI and AD and selected by means of the Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory (MMPI-2) neurotic depressive scale. Treatment evaluation was carried out with depressive description test (DDT) and MMPI-2 test, and depression (DEP) and health concerns (HEA) content scales. RESULTS: We observed in post-test evaluation a significant difference between patients in the psychotherapy mirror group and the remaining groups (p<0.05). During the 6-month follow-up evaluation, we observed in HEA content scale a significant difference between control group and remaining groups (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Mirror psychotherapy treatment is more effective in AD symptom decrease. Patients with AMI and AD not receiving emotional support treatment in conjunction with medical treatment continue to experience emotional disorders and show greater apprehension with regard to medical treatments.
