Effects of whole-body vibration exercise in patients with chronic kidney disease: a systematic review.

PURPOSE: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a clinical condition that promotes a decline in the overall health status of individuals affected, including parameters physical, functional, and psychosocial. This systematic review was conducted to assess effects of whole-body vibration exercise (WBVE) in individuals with CKD. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It was conducted electronic searches in Pubmed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science databases on May 2021. Records were identified and irrelevant studies were excluded based in eligibility criteria. RESULTS: Five studies were included with a mean methodological quality score of 9, considered high quality in PEDRo scale. The studies have shown that the WBVE intervention, when applied low intensity was well tolerated, and no adverse effects; was able to improve the motor performance and strength in frail people, which could benefit the prevention of falls events. However, did not improve the quality of life, and the heart rate variability; and not altered cardiorespiratory parameters. CONCLUSIONS: WBVE intervention promotes a better response in parameters of the motor performance and muscular strength, and interaction bone-muscle. Nevertheless, more studies are needed with this intervention to improve physiological responses, and to understand your recommendation to prevent and reduce the complications and symptoms of the CKD, promoting an active life to these patients. PROTOCOL STUDY REGISTRATION: PROSPERO (CRD42020203295).IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONChronic kidney disease (CKD) is a clinical condition that promotes a decline in the overall health status of individuals affected, including parameters physical, functional, and psychosocial.WBVE program possibility, of good acceptance, efficient as well tolerated by physically deconditioned patients who present difficulty to perform any type of exercise.WBVE protocol can promote changes in the patient with CKD lifestyle and benefits for this population because is an exercise without fatigue, impact, stress, or discomfort.

Chronic Effects of Different Types of Neuromuscular Training on Hemodynamic Responses Estimated VO2max, and Walking Performance in Older People.

This paper investigated the effects over time of different forms of neuromuscular training on hemodynamic responses, the estimated VO2max, and walking performance. 105 older adults were randomly organized into three groups: RGA, RGB, and the Control Group (CG). RGA and RGB did 4 weeks of adaptation phase training and 12 weeks of intervention with different loads: moderate loads for RGB. and higher loads for RGA. A pre- and post-evaluation of the resting heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), double product (DP), estimated VO2max, and walking performance were assessed. Significant differences were observed for SBP, DBP, HR, and DP. For SBP, a post-evaluation reduction was observed only in RGA (p = 0.007) and when comparing RGA with the Control Group (p < 0.000). For the absolute VO2max, a significant improvement was seen in RGB compared to RGA (p = 0.037) and CG (p < 0.000). For the relative VO2max, RGB scored significantly higher than RGA (p < 0.000) and CG (p < 0.000), post-intervention. For the walk test, a significant reduction in completion times was observed for RGA (p = 0.027) and RGB (p < 0.000), and for RGB compared to RGA (p = 0.000) and CG (p < 0.000). Resistance training can be an excellent strategy for hemodynamic and cardiorespiratory improvement in the elderly.

Multimodal HIIT is more efficient than moderate continuous training for management of body composition, lipid profile and glucose metabolism in the diabetic elderly / El entrenamiento multimodal es más eficiente que el entrenamiento continuo moderado para el manejo de la composición corporal, el perfil de lípidos y el metabolismo de la glucosa en adultos mayores diabéticos

The exercise could play a central role to the fat management and glucose metabolism what can be a critical role in the health status of diabetic people, but the high intense exercise remains with controversial data about their effects. To identify the effect of the multimodal high-intensity interval training on body composition, lipid profile, and glucose metabolism in elderly diabetics. Methods: Elderly diabetic individuals (n = 48) were randomly divided in a Sedentary Control (SC) group, a Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training (MICT) group, and a High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) group. MICT and HITT were conducted over 60 days, 3x per week, with 40 minutes of exercise. Blood was collected prior to intervention, at four, and at eight weeks subsequently to assess glucose metabolism and lipid profiles. Body composition was determined before and after the intervention period. To verify the normality Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical test was performed, followed by student "t" test or two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni's post hoc test with significance of 5 % the Cohen's f test to indicate the magnitude of the differences. HIIT significantly lowered cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and significantly lowered blood glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin levels (p<0.05). MICT and HIIT significantly increased levels of high-density lipoprotein, decreased total body mass and body mass index. HIIT resulted in significantly smaller waist circumferences, waist-to-hip ratios, and weight-to-height ratios over 60 days of training. HIIT is more effective than MICT for improving lipid and glycaemic profiles, decreasing body fat, and improving fat distribution elderly diabetics.

El ejercicio podría desempeñar un papel central en el manejo de la grasa y el metabolismo de la glucosa, lo que puede ser un papel crítico en el estado de salud de las personas diabéticas, pero el ejercicio intenso intenso sigue teniendo datos controvertidos sobre sus efectos. El objetivo del estudio fue identificar el efecto del entrenamiento multimodal de intervalos de alta intensidad sobre la composición corporal, el perfil lipídico y el metabolismo de la glucosa en diabéticos de edad avanzada. Los individuos diabéticos de edad avanzada (n = 48) se dividieron aleatoriamente en un grupo de control sedentario (SC), un grupo de entrenamiento continuo de intensidad moderada (MICT) y un grupo de entrenamiento de intervalos de alta intensidad (HIIT). MICT y HITT se realizaron durante 60 días, 3 veces por semana, con 40 minutos de ejercicio. Se recogió sangre antes de la intervención, a las cuatro y a las ocho semanas posteriormente para evaluar el metabolismo de la glucosa y los perfiles de lípidos. La composición corporal se determinó antes y después del período de intervención. Para verificar la normalidad se realizó la prueba estadística de Kolmogorov-Smirnov, seguida de la prueba "t" de Student o ANOVA de dos vías con la prueba post hoc de Bonferroni con una significancia del 5 % de la prueba f de Cohen, indicando las diferencias. HIIT redujo significativamente los niveles de colesterol y triglicéridos, además de reducir de manera importante los niveles de glucosa en la sangre y la hemoglobina glicosilada (p <0.05). MICT y HIIT aumentaron significativamente los niveles de lipoproteína de alta densidad, disminuyeron la masa corporal total y el índice de masa corporal. HIIT resultó en circunferencias de cintura significativamente más pequeñas, relaciones cintura-cadera y relaciones peso-altura durante 60 días de entrenamiento. HIIT es más efectivo que MICT para mejorar los perfiles de lípidos y glucémicos, disminuir la grasa corporal y mejorar la distribución de grasa en los diabéticos de edad avanzada.

Efeitos de um programa de caminhada sob os níveis de autonomia funcional de idosas monitoradas pelo programa saúde da família / Effects of the research of hiking related the profiles of funcional autonomy in elderly women supported the family health program

Verificar os efeitos de um programa de caminhada sobre os níveis de autonomia funcional de idosas participantes do Programa Saúde da Família. Métodos: Para este estudo experimental, a amostra foi aleatoriamente dividida em: grupo experimental (GE; n=58, idade:67±6 anos) e grupo controle (GC; n=40; idade:70±6 anos). Todas eram fisicamente ativas, porém sem um rigor na regularidade do programa de atividade física. A autonomia funcional foi avaliada pela bateria de testes do Grupo de Desenvolvimento Latino-Americano para a Maturidade (GDLAM), composta de: caminhar 10m (C10m), levantar-se da posição sentada (LPS), levantar-se da posição de decúbito ventral (LPDV), levantar-se da cadeira e locomover-se pela a casa (LCLC) e o teste de vestir e tirar uma camiseta (VTC). Esses testes resultam no índice de GDLAM (IG). O programa de intervenção foi realizado em frequência semanal de três vezes, com intensidade que variava entre 55% a 75% da frequência cardíaca máxima. Resultados: Na análise intragrupos, pôde-se observar melhora significativa no GE, em todos os testes do GDLAM e no IG (delta =-4,13; p=0,0001); entretanto, o GC obteve uma piora significativa em todos os testes do GDLAM e no IG (delta=+0,05; p=0,0001). Na comparação intergrupos, o GE mostrou-se superior ao GC em todos os testes (p < 0,05) e no IG (delta=-8,23; p=0,0001). Conclusões: Pode-se inferir que o GE, após ter se submetido à atividade de caminhada regular e controlada, obteve melhora do nível de autonomia funcional, quando comparado ao inicial e ao do GC.

Efeitos do treinamento resistido sobre variáveis relacionadas com a baixa densidade óssea de mulheres menopausadas tratadas com alendronato / Effects of resistance training on low bone density-related variables in menopausal women taking alendronate

A osteoporose é uma doença crônica que atinge o esqueleto humano. OBJETIVO: Verificar os efeitos do treinamento resistido sobre a densidade mineral óssea (DMO), força muscular, equilíbrio e qualidade de vida em mulheres menopausadas em tratamento com alendronato. MÉTODOS: Participaram do estudo 16 voluntárias. Elas foram separadas em dois grupos: que praticaram o treino resistido (n = 9, 49,7 ± 4,2 idade) e que constituíram o grupo controle (n = 7, 53,8 ± 4,4 idade). Os instrumentos de avaliação seguintes foram usados: a absorciometria de dupla energia por raios X -DXA (que mediu a coluna lombar L2-L4, colo do fêmur, triângulo de Wards e trocanter maior), o Osteoporosis Assessment Questionnaire (OPAQ) e um teste de equilíbrio. O treinamento foi periodizado em 12 meses, divididos em seis ciclos com intensidade de 70-90 por cento da carga máxima (10RM). Testes paramétricos (t ou Wilcoxon), para análise intragrupo e (Anova) para intergrupos, foram usados. RESULTADOS: Foram encontradas diferenças significativas favoráveis ao grupo que treinou nos sítios da lombar L2-L4 (6,8 por cento, p = 0,001), colo do fêmur (4,8 por cento, p = 0,005) e trocanter (0,76 por cento, p = 0,005). Além de diferenças significativas também para o equilíbrio corporal (21,4 por cento, p = 0,001), qualidade de vida (9,1 por cento, p = 0,001) e todas as medidas de força como na pressão de pernas 45º (49,3 por cento, p < 0,001). CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados sugerem que a metodologia aplicada ao treino resistido pode ser recomendada a mulheres menopausadas com baixa DMO.

Osteoporosis is a chronic disease of the human skeleton. OBJECTIVE: To verify the effects of resistance training on bone mineral density (BMD), muscular strength, balance and quality of life in menopausal women taking Alendronate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixteen female volunteers participated in the study. The volunteers were separated into two groups: resistance training participants (n=9; 49.7±4.2 years) and control group (n=7; 53.8±4.4 years). The following evaluation instruments were used: absorptiometry-DXA (which measured the lumbar spine L2-L4, neck femur, Wards triangle and major trochanter), the Osteoporosis Assessment Questionnaire (OPAQ) and a balance test. The training was applied in 12 months, divided in six cycles with intensity of 70-90 percent of the maximum load (10RM). Parametric tests for intra-group analysis (t or Wilcoxon) and (Anova) for inter-groups, were used. RESULTS: Significant differences in the resistance training group were found in the bones variables: lumbar L2-L4 (6.8 percent, p=0.001), neck femur (4.8 percent, p=0.005) and trochanter (0.76 percent, p=0.005). In addition, significant differences were also found for body balance (21.4 percent, p=0.001), quality of life (9.1 percent, p=0.001) and all muscular strength measurements, such as in leg press 45º (49.3 percent, p<0.001). CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the methodology applied to resistance training can be recommended for menopausal women with low BMD.

Bone density, balance and quality of life of postmenopausal women taking alendronate participating in different physical activity programs.

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different physical activity (PA) programs on bone density, balance and quality of Life of postmenopausaL women taking concomitant aLendronate. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 35 volunteers divided into four groups: practitioners of resistance training (RTG, n = 9, 49.8±4.2 years), judo (JUG, n= 11, 52.2 ±5.3 years), water aerobics (WAG, n = 8, 57.1 ±7.4 years) and the control group (CG, n = 7, 53.8±4.4 years). METHODS: The following assessment tools were used: bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry of the spine and proximal femur, the 'Osteoporosis Assessment Questionnaire' (OPAQ) and the 'Static Balance Test with Visual Control'. The physical activities were planned for 12 months in cycles with different intensities. A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for analysis between groups, and a Scheffe post-hoc test was used for multiple comparisons. RESULTS: The multiple comparisons results showed that the RTG and JUG groups were significantly more efficient in the variables studied, including: Lumbar BMD (Δ% = 6.8%, p = 0.001), balance (Δ% = 21.4%, p = 0.01), OPAQ (Δ% = 9.1%, p = 0.005) and Lumbar BMD (Δ% = 6.4%, p = 0.003), balance (Δ% = U%, p = 0.02) and OPAQ (Δ% = 16.8%, p =0.000) compared with the CG. Furthermore, the RTG (Δ% = 4.8%, p =0.02) was significantly better than the WAG for the neck of femur BMD, and the JUG (Δ% = 16.8, p = 0.0003) also demonstrated superiority to the WAG in the OPAQ. CONCLUSIONS: The physical activities studied appear to improve BMD, balance and quality of Life of postmenopausaL women taking a bisphosphonate. In this small sample, the RTG and the JUG groups were superior to the other groups.
