ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of Mat Pilates on postural control, plantar pressure and plantar arch (ALM) in schoolchildren. DESIGN AND SETTING: The study was a randomized clinical trial, developed at the Early Childhood Education Institute, Londrina-PR. The participants were randomly assigned to groups: Pilates Group (PG) and Control Group (CG). Patients in the CG did not perform extra physical activity (Interventions). PARTICIPANTS: 43 children (eight to 12 years), no prior knowledge of the Pilates method, and no exercise training in the last six months. INTERVENTION: The exercise program was based on the Mat Pilates method, twice weekly, 50 min each, 28 sessions. OUTCOME MEASURES: Static balance (force platform), dynamic balance (the Reach Test), ALM (plantigraphy) and plantar pressure (baropodometry). The assessors were blinded to the allocation of participants. RESULTS: Three children were excluded before randomization and 40 were randomized (PG n: 20; CG n:20).12 children were excluded during the protocol (PG n:7; CG n:5) and included in the intention to treat analysis. No significant difference between groups was observed for static and dynamic balance and ALM measures. There was a significant difference in the following outcomes for the PG: the plantar pressure on the right hemibody forefoot between pre-test 38.70 ± 14.38 and post-test 42.65 ± 15.63 (ES = 0.66; SRM = 0.50). The plantar pressure on the right hemibody rearfoot between pre-test 61.10 ± 14.18 and post-test 56.85 ± 19.39 (ES = 0.68; SRM = 0.53). No adverse or harmful events were reported in any group. CONCLUSION: There were no differences in static and dynamic postural control and ALM between PG and CG. However, children GP showed improvement in some results of plantar pressure in relation CG. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (REBEC) (N_ RBR-8t5p7d).

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Although patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) benefit in many ways after participating in pulmonary rehabilitation programs, high dropout rates are still observed among participants. This study aims to analyze the adherence rate and perceived satisfaction in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who underwent high-intensity physical training on land (LG) and in water (WG). This study is an additional analysis from a randomized controlled trial. In total, 36 subjects (51%) completed the intervention. All participants underwent six months of high-intensity endurance and strength training. Adherence was assessed by the proportion of patients who completed the training program. Perceived satisfaction was evaluated using a questionnaire composed of structured and semi-structured questions. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed according to the criteria of our thematic analysis. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to assess data normality, and dropout rates were compared using the chi-square test. Statistical significance was set at 5%. Regarding adherence, 59% of WG participants and 44% of LG participants completed the program, with no difference between the groups (p>0.05). Individuals from both groups were equally satisfied after six months of physical training (<90%); the therapist-patient relationship and treatment effectiveness being important factors for this perception. Qualitative analysis also showed that WG participants reported a more prominent improvement in their respiratory symptoms, leisure, sensation of pain, and sleep. In conclusion, patients with COPD were satisfied after six months of high-intensity physical training in water and on land, noting that water exercising promoted additional benefits compared to land exercising. There seems to be no superiority to any of the regimens (water or land) regarding the adherence to the training programs.


RESUMO Embora os pacientes com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC) se beneficiem de muitas maneiras de programas de reabilitação pulmonar, ainda são observadas altas taxas de desistência entre os participantes. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a taxa de adesão e a percepção de satisfação de indivíduos com DPOC que realizaram treinamento físico de alta intensidade em solo (GS) e água (GA). Foram realizadas análises adicionais de um ensaio clínico randomizado. 36 indivíduos (51%) completaram a intervenção. Todos os participantes foram submetidos a seis meses de treinamento de força e resistência de alta intensidade. A adesão foi avaliada pela proporção de pacientes que completaram o programa de treinamento e a satisfação foi avaliada por meio de um questionário composto por questões estruturadas e semiestruturadas. As entrevistas foram gravadas, transcritas e analisadas de acordo com o critério de análise de conteúdo. Foi utilizado o teste de Shapiro-Wilk para avaliar a normalidade dos dados e o teste qui-quadrado para a comparação da taxa de aderência. Foi adotado p<0,05 como significância estatística. Em relação à adesão, 59% dos participantes do GA e 44% do GS completaram o programa, sem diferença entre os grupos (p>0,05). Os indivíduos de ambos os grupos estavam igualmente satisfeitos após seis meses de treinamento físico (<90%), sendo a relação terapeuta-paciente e a eficácia no tratamento fatores importantes para essa percepção. A análise qualitativa também mostrou que os participantes do GA relataram benefícios mais proeminentes em relação aos sintomas respiratórios, ao lazer, a sensação de dor e ao sono. Portanto, os pacientes com DPOC se mostraram satisfeitos após seis meses de treinamento e perceberam que o exercício na água promoveu mais benefícios do que em solo. Em relação à adesão aos programas de treinamento não pareceu haver superioridade de nenhum dos regimes (água ou solo).


RESUMEN Aunque los programas de rehabilitación pulmonar ayudan a los pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC), todavía se observan altas tasas de abandono de los participantes en estos programas. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la tasa de adherencia y la percepción de satisfacción de las personas con EPOC que realizaron entrenamiento físico de alta intensidad en suelo (GS) y en agua (GA). Se realizaron análisis adicionales de un ensayo clínico aleatorizado. 36 participantes (51%) completaron la intervención. Todos se sometieron a seis meses de entrenamiento de fuerza y resistencia de alta intensidad. La adherencia se evaluó por la proporción de pacientes que completaron el programa de entrenamiento, y la satisfacción se evaluó mediante un cuestionario con preguntas estructuradas y semiestructuradas. Las entrevistas fueron grabadas, después transcritas y analizadas según el criterio de análisis de contenido. Para evaluar la normalidad de los datos, se utilizó el test de Shapiro-Wilk, y para comparar la tasa de adherencia se aplicó la prueba de chi-cuadrado. El nivel de significación estadística fue de p<0,05. En cuanto a la adherencia, el 59% de los participantes del GA y el 44% del GS completaron el programa, sin diferencia entre grupos (p>0,05). Ambos grupos estaban igualmente satisfechos después de seis meses de entrenamiento físico (<90%), por lo que la relación terapeuta-paciente y la eficacia del tratamiento fueron los factores importantes de esta percepción. El análisis cualitativo también apuntó que los participantes de GA informaron más beneficios con respecto a los síntomas respiratorios, el ocio, la sensación de dolor y el sueño. Por lo tanto, los pacientes con EPOC estaban satisfechos después de seis meses de entrenamiento y se dieron cuenta de que el ejercicio en el agua les brindaba más beneficios que el ejercicio en el suelo. En cuanto a la adherencia al carácter de los programas de entrenamiento (si agua o suelo), no pareció haber superioridad en ninguno de ellos.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: There is limited information regarding impairment in functional performance tests and their measurement properties in ILD. The present study aimed to verify the impairment and measurement properties of functional performance tests in ILD. METHODS: ILD and healthy individuals underwent assessments of pulmonary function, peripheral muscle strength (handgrip force and maximum isometric contraction of quadriceps femoris - MIVCq) and exercise capacity (6-min walk test - 6MWT). Functional performance was assessed by timed-up-and-go with usual (TUGu) and fast (TUGf) gait speeds, 4-m gait speed (4MGS), sit-to-stand in 30 s (30sec-STS), 1 min (1min-STS) and with 5 repetition (5rep-STS) and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Functional performance was compared between groups, validity (correlation with 6MWT and MIVCq) and reliability of tests were checked in subjects with ILD (intra- and inter-rater agreement analysis). RESULTS: Seventy-six participants (40 ILD [25 women, 61 ± 11 years, FVC 75 ± 17 %pred] and 36 healthy [22 women, 61 ± 9 years, FVC 97 ± 11 %pred]) were included. Functional performance in ILD was worse than in healthy individuals in all tests, except for the 30sec-STS (p = 0.13). Pre-specified validity criteria were reached for TUGu, TUGf, 4MGS and 5rep-STS (-0.69 < r < 0.55; p < 0.05 for all). Except for 4MGS and SPPB, all tests showed good to excellent inter-rater (0.85 < ICC<0.93; p < 0.05 for all) and all tests showed good to excellent intra-rater (0.83 < ICC< 0.94; p < 0.05 for all) reliability. CONCLUSIONS: Subjects with ILD present worse functional performance than healthy individuals. According to reliability and validity results, TUGu, TUGf and 5rep-STS seem to be the most appropriate tests to evaluate functional performance in ILD.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the interexaminer and intraexaminer reliability of classification with the Viladot method of plantar impression obtained by means of a footprinting mat. METHODS: Footprints were taken from 40 participants using a footprinting mat. The images were subjected to analysis by 3 independent examiners. To investigate intraexaminer reliability, the analysis was repeated by 1 of the examiners 1 week later. RESULTS: Excellent intraexaminer reliability was found (κ = 1.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.77-1.0; P < .00). For interexaminer reliability, in the right foot high concordance was found for typical feet (κp = 0.76; 95% CI, 0.58-0.93; P < .00) and excellent concordance for cavus feet and flat feet (respectively: κp = 0.86; 95% CI, 0.68-1.0; P < .00; and κp = 0.81; 95% CI, = 0.63-0.99; P < .00). In the left foot high concordance was observed between the 3 evaluators for typical feet and cavus feet (respectively: κp = 0.75; 95% CI, 0.57-0.93; P < .00; and κp = 0.69; 95% CI, 0.51-0.87; P < .00) and excellent concordance for flat feet (κp = 1.0; 95% CI, 0.82-1.0; P < .00). CONCLUSION: The Viladot method is reliable for analyses involving 1 or more examiners, presenting excellent intraexaminer reliability and high to excellent interexaminer reliability. The Viladot method is a reliable (replicable and consistent) instrument, that is, its repeated application to the same subject produces similar results.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The perception of health professionals about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has not been thoroughly investigated. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the perception of health professionals about the impact of COPD on the lives of affected individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Qualitative and cross-sectional study with five health professionals: two nurses, two physiotherapists, and one medical doctor. They participated in a focus group (FG) session, with semistructured questions covering: definition of COPD, activities of daily living (ADL), and physical activity of daily living (PADL), as well as the importance of these outcomes in the lives of individuals with COPD. DATA ANALYSIS: The FG was recorded, transcribed, and analyzed according to the content analysis. RESULTS: The FG highlighted four main themes: physical-functional and emotional impairment of individuals, the importance of patient-health professional contact, repercussions of COPD on the patients' physical activity, and strategies for promoting physical activity. Based on the four themes exposed, the health professionals reported that there is a progression in the lives of individuals' with COPD, which is divided into three phases: adaptation, reluctance, and dependence. CONCLUSION: There was a negative perception of the health professionals regarding the functionality and emotion of patients with COPD. Emotional aspects, family support, and architectural structure can positively or negatively influence patients' ADL and PADL. Finally, there was a perception of progression in the life of patients with COPD, since their initial adaptation, evolving to physical and emotional dependence.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the effect of postural education on the learning and postural habits of elementary school children without physical intervention. Methods: We searched PubMed, Lilacs, SciELO, Cochrane, and Science Direct data bases and reference lists of studies in February 2020. The eligibility criteria were randomized clinical trials related to the effect of postural education in children aged between 6 and 12 years old. Two authors independently assessed trials for inclusion and risk of bias: randomization process, deviations from intended interventions, missing outcome data, measurement of the outcome, and selection of the reported result. Data were extracted in standardized tables including information on author, publication year, country, sample size, age, sex, intervention characteristics, outcome measurements and results. Results: We found seven clinical trials (involving 2,568 children) for the review. The studies were conducted between 2000 and 2018: four in Belgium, two in Spain, and one in Germany. All seven included trials underwent evaluation: only one had a clear process of randomization and allocation concealment. All included studies were judged as having high risk of bias in at least one domain or have concerns for multiple domains. Conclusions: The positive effects of acquired knowledge and postural habits found in the studies cannot be used to reliably support postural education in elementary school children due to a high risk of bias in the evaluated studies.


RESUMO Objetivo: Determinar os efeitos da educação postural na aprendizagem e nos hábitos posturais de crianças do ensino fundamental sem intervenção física. Métodos: Foram realizadas buscas nas bases de dados do PubMed, Lilacs, SciELO, Cochrane e Science Direct e nas listas de referência dos estudos em fevereiro de 2020. Os critérios de elegibilidade foram ensaios clínicos randomizados relacionados aos efeitos da educação postural em crianças de 6 a 12 anos de idade. Duas autoras avaliaram os ensaios de forma independente para inclusão e risco de viés: processo de randomização, desvios das intervenções pretendidas, ausência de dados do desfecho, mensuração do desfecho e seleção do resultado relatado. Os dados foram extraídos em tabelas padronizadas e incluíram informações sobre o autor, ano de publicação, país, tamanho da amostra, idade, sexo, características da intervenção, mensuração do desfecho e resultados. Resultados: Foram encontrados sete ensaios clínicos (envolvendo 2.568 crianças) para a revisão. Os estudos foram realizados entre 2000 e 2018: quatro na Bélgica, dois na Espanha e um na Alemanha. Todos os sete estudos incluídos foram submetidos à avaliação e apenas um apresentou um processo claro de randomização e ocultação de alocação. Todos os ensaios foram considerados como de alto risco de viés em pelo menos um domínio ou preocupantes em vários domínios. Conclusões: Os efeitos positivos encontrados relacionados ao conhecimento adquirido e aos hábitos posturais não podem ser utilizados para recomendar de forma confiável a educação postural para escolares do ensino fundamental, devido ao alto risco de viés dos estudos avaliados.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to compare the postural control between eight-year-old boys and girls, considering the nutritional classification and level of physical activity. This was a cross-sectional study, with a sample of 346 participants, classified by the WHO AnthroPlus software, evaluated on the force platform and the Questionnaire Physical Activity for Children. The results demonstrated that girls showed lower values in relation to the opposite sex (p<0.001), in the center of pressure area (COP) (girls: 11.88 vs boys: 15.86cm2), Antero-posterior Amplitude (girl: 5.40 vs boy: 6.05cm), Medial-lateral Amplitude (girl: 3.97 vs boy: 4.40cm), Antero-posterior velocity (girl: 3.98 vs boy: 4.94cm/s), Medial-lateral velocity (girl: 3.98 vs boy: 4.59cm/s), Antero-posterior frequency (girl: 0.70 vs boy: 0.84Hz). Physical activity was associated with male sex (p=0.001; X2=11.195; odds ratio=0.372). In relation to the center of pressure of sedentary children, girls showed better postural control (p<0.001), but when we analyzed the center of pressure of both sexes who were active there was no statistically significant difference (p=0.112). The Z score of both sexes presented no difference in the center of pressure area (p=0.809 and p=0.785 respectively). Girls showed better postural control, while boys are more active; when both sexes performed physical activity COP area was similar. Therefore, special care should be taken when assessing postural control in boys and girls due to their differences in test performance and stage of development. As for interventions, exercise should be considered for better performance of the COP.


RESUMO O objetivo foi comparar o controle postural entre os meninos e meninas de oito anos de idade, considerando a classificação nutricional e nível de atividade física. Realizou-se um estudo transversal, amostra classificada por meio do software WHO AnthroPlus, avaliada na plataforma de força e pelo Questionário de Atividade Física para Criança. Os resultados mostram que as meninas apresentaram valores menores em relação ao sexo oposto (p<0,001), quanto à área do centro de pressão (COP) (meninas: 11,88 vs meninos: 15,86cm2), Amplitude Ântero-posterior (meninas: 5,40 vs meninos: 6,05cm), Amplitude Médio-lateral (meninas: 3,97 vs meninos: 4,40cm), Velocidade Ântero-posterior (meinas: 3,98 vs meninos: 4,94cm/s), Velocidade Médio-lateral (meninas: 3,98 vs meninos: 4,59cm/s), Frequência Ântero-posterior (meninas: 0,70 vs meninos: 0,84Hz). A atividade física apresentou associação com sexo masculino (p=0,001; X2=11,195; Odds Ratio=0,372). Em relação à área do centro de pressão de crianças sedentárias, as meninas apresentaram melhor controle postural (p<0,001), porém quando analisado área do centro de pressão de ambos os sexos que são ativos não houve diferença estatisticamente significante (p=0,112). O escore Z de ambos os sexos não teve diferença em relação à área do centro de pressão (p=0,809 e p=0,785 respectivamente). Concluiu-se que meninas apresentaram melhor desempenho no controle postural na posição unipodal, enquanto os meninos são mais ativos, quando ambos os sexos realizam atividade física a área do centro de pressão foi similar. Portanto, cuidados especiais devem ser tomados ao avaliar controle postural em meninos e meninas devido às diferenças no desempenho do teste e no estágio de desenvolvimento. Quanto as intervenções o exercício deve ser considerado para melhor desempenho do COP.


RESUMEN El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar el control postural entre niños y niñas de 8 años de edad según la clasificación nutricional y el nivel de actividad física. Se realizó un estudio transversal; la muestra fue clasificada por el software WHO AnthroPlus y fue evaluada en la plataforma de fuerza y en el Cuestionario de Actividad Física para Niños. Los resultados apuntan que las niñas presentaron valores más bajos en relación al sexo opuesto (p<0,001); en cuanto al área del centro de presión (COP) (niñas: 11,88 vs. niños: 15,86cm).2), Amplitud anteroposterior (niñas: 5,40 vs. niños: 6,05cm), Amplitud mediolateral (niñas: 3,97 vs. niños: 4,40cm), Velocidad anteroposterior (niñas: 3,98 vs. niños: 4,94cm/s), Velocidad media-lateral (niñas: 3,98 vs. niños: 4,59cm/s), Frecuencia anteroposterior (niñas: 0,70 vs. niños: 0,84Hz). Hubo asociación de la actividad física con el sexo masculino (p=0,001; X2=11,195; Razón de probabilidad=0,372). En cuanto al área del centro de presión de niños sedentarios, las niñas mostraron un mejor control postural (p<0,001), sin embargo en el análisis del área del centro de presión de ambos los sexos que se encuentran activos, no hubo diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p=0,112). El puntaje Z para ambos los sexos no presentó diferencia en relación al área del centro de presión (p=0,809 y p=0,785 respectivamente). Se concluyó que las niñas tuvieron un mejor desempeño en el control postural en la posición unipodal, mientras que los niños fueron más activos, cuando ambos los sexos realizan actividad física, el área del centro de presión fue similar. Por lo tanto, se debe tener especial cuidado al evaluar el control postural en niños y niñas debido a las diferencias en el rendimiento de la prueba y la etapa de desarrollo. En cuanto a las intervenciones, se debe considerar el ejercicio para un mejor desempeño de la COP.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of an exercise program, based on the Pilates Matwork method, on posterior chain flexibility and trunk mobility in healthy school age children. DESIGN AND SETTING: The study was a parallel-group randomized clinical trial. The participants were randomly assigned to groups: Pilates Group (PG) and Control Group (CG). The program was developed at the Early Childhood Education Institute, Londrina-PR. PARTICIPANTS: 43 children with age between eight to 12 years, no prior knowledge of the Pilates method, and no exercise training in the last six months. INTERVENTION: Four months of twice a week 50 min Pilates Matwork exercises were administered. OUTCOME MEASURES: Flexibility and mobility, assessed using the sit-and-reach test, fingertip-to-floor test and photogrammetry. The assessors were blinded to the allocation of participants. RESULTS: Three children were excluded before randomization and 40 were randomized (PG n = 20; CG n = 20).12 children were excluded during the protocol (PG n = 7; CG n = 5) and included in the intention to treat analysis. No significant difference between groups was observed for flexibility measures. There was a significant difference in the following outcomes for the PG: distance reached in the sit-and-reach test between pre-test (median 14.25[11.25-28.38]) and post-test (median 20.25[12.00-29.63]) (ES = 0.29, SRM = 0.73); Posterior angle of the knee in the fingertip-to-floor test between pre-test (median 191.60[187.20-191.60]) and post-test (median 189.00[185.90-191.50]) (ES = 0.56, SRM = 0.54). CONCLUSION: There were no differences in posterior chain flexibility and trunk mobility between school age children who underwent Pilates Matwork exercises and the control. However, children who participated in the exercise program showed improvement in some results of flexibility.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se a formação do arco longitudinal do pé interfere na distribuição da pressão plantar e na flexibilidade dos músculos posteriores da coxa. O método de estudo foi transversal e as impressões plantares foram obtidas usando o plantígrafo e analisadas segundo o método Viladot. A distribuição plantar e a flexibilidade foram avaliadas pela baropodometria e pelo banco de Wells, respectivamente. Foi observado que crianças com pés cavos apresentam maior flexibilidade quando comparadas às que têm o pé normal (p=0,02); e também que pés cavos apresentam maior pressão, ou seja, maior sobrecarga em calcâneo quando comparados àqueles com o arco plantar normal (p=0,02 membro inferior direito e p=0,03 membro inferior esquerdo). A avaliação do arco longitudinal medial mostra que crianças com pés cavos apresentam maior flexibilidade dos músculos posteriores de membro inferior. Os pés cavos também estão associados com maior descarga de peso em região de calcâneo.


RESUMEN El objetivo de este estudio fue verificar si la formación del arco longitudinal del pie interfiere con la distribución de la presión plantar y la flexibilidad de los músculos posteriores del muslo. El método de estudio fue transversal y las huellas plantar se obtuvieron utilizando el plantigraph y se analizaron según el método de Viladot. La distribución plantar y la flexibilidad se evaluaron mediante baropodometría y el banco de Wells, respectivamente. Se observó que los niños con pies huecos tienen mayor flexibilidad en comparación con aquellos con pies normales (p=0,02); y también que los pies huecos tienen una mayor presión, es decir, una mayor sobrecarga del talón en comparación con aquellos con arco plantar normal (p=0,02 miembro inferior derecho y p=0,03 miembro inferior izquierdo). La evaluación del arco longitudinal medial muestra que los niños con pies huecos tienen una mayor flexibilidad en los músculos posteriores de la extremidad inferior. Los pies huecos también están asociados con una mayor descarga de peso en la región del talón.


ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate whether the formation of the longitudinal arch of the foot interferes with the distribution of plantar pressure and the pliability of the posterior thigh muscles. Methodology: a cross-sectional study and the footprints were obtained using the footprinting mat and analyzed according to the Viladot method. Plantar distribution and pliability were assessed by baropodometry and Wells' bank, respectively. Results: It was observed that children with cavus feet present greater pliability when compared to those with normal feet (p=0.02). Also, the cavus feet exhibit higher pressure, that is, a greater heel overload compared to those with normal plantar arch (p=0.02 lower right limb and p=0.03 lower left limb). Conclusions: The evaluation of the medial longitudinal arch shows that children with cavus feet have greater pliability of the lower limb posterior muscles. The cavus feet are also associated with higher pressure in the calcaneal region.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Aims: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the mat Pilates method, an exercise program, on postural alignment in the sagittal plane among children aged between 8 and 12 years. Method: This study used a blind randomized controlled clinical trial, with a Pilates group (PG) and control group (CG) at the Early Childhood Education Institute. A total of 40 children were randomized, who have no prior knowledge of the Pilates method and no exercise training in the last six months. Mat Pilates exercises were administered twice a week for four months in 50-minute sessions. Postural alignment in the sagittal plane was assessed using photogrammetry. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the groups post-intervention A significant difference was found in the following outcomes that represent an improvement in intragroup postural alignment: among the children in PG, in the right sagittal view in the vertical body alignment (p=0.019; effect size, ES = 0.70; standardize response mean, SRM = 0.57) and in the sagittal head angle (p=0.035; ES = 0.41; SRM = 0.51). Among the children in the CG, in the vertical alignment of the trunk in the left sagittal view (p= 0.016; ES = 0.50; SRM = 0.44). Conclusion: The effectiveness of Pilates on postural alignment in the sagittal plane among children aged between 8 and 12 years was not confirmed.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: In Brazil, the field of physical therapy education has undergone transformations with regard to curricular models. However, changes require conscious, collective efforts to align multiple interests and achieve agreed goals, which usually do not occur without conflicts. Objective: To verify the tensions involving the curricular changes in a physical therapy course based on the concepts of field, habitus and capital of Pierre Bourdieu. Method: Qualitative study with field observation and interviews with teachers using a semi-structured script and content analysis. Results: Much internal resistance was observed, which prevented the process of change from expanding. Key disciplines were created with the aim to interconnect the curriculum matrix and favor content integration; however, these disciplines functioned, ultimately, like any other. Conclusion: Teachers continued to play by the rules of the field unaware of its determinations, that is, the agents' habitus reflected the existing structure without changing the practices, and the discipline curriculum remained linear.


Resumo Introdução: O campo da formação do fisioterapeuta no Brasil, em termos de modelos curriculares, tem passado por transformações. Contudo, mudar exige um esforço consciente e coletivo para alinhar múltiplos interesses e atingir as metas acordadas, o que geralmente não acontece sem conflitos. Objetivo: Verificar as tensões que envolvem as mudanças curriculares do um curso de fisioterapia, a partir dos conceitos de campo, habitus e capital de Pierre Bourdieu. Método: Pesquisa qualitativa com observações de campo e entrevistas com professores, utilizando roteiro semiestruturado e análise de conteúdo. Resultados: Houve muitas resistências internas que impediram que o processo de mudança fosse mais amplo. Criaram-se disciplinas-chaves que deveriam interligar a matriz favorecendo a integração de conteúdos, porém estas funcionavam, em última instância, como outras quaisquer. Conclusão: Os professores seguiram jogando com as regras do campo, sem saber das suas determinações, ou seja, os agentes e seus habitus refletiram a estrutura existente, sem alteração das práticas, permanecendo um currículo linear disciplinar.

ABSTRACT

Aim: This study aims to evaluate and identify the influence of age, sex, and visual information on postural control in children. Methods: Participants were 62 children (30 boys and 32 girls) divided into the following age groups (G): G1, aged 5-6 years (n = 23); G2, aged 7-8 years (n = 21); and G3, aged 9-10 years (n = 18). The analyzed variables were the center of pressure (COP) and anteroposterior (AP) and mid-lateral (ML) oscillation velocity (OV) obtained in the biped posture force platform with their open eyes (OE) and closed eyes (CE). Results: G3 COP, OV_AP, and OV_ML are smaller than those in G1 and G2 in OE (p < 0.00) and CE (p < 0.05). Girls demonstrated worse postural control than boys for COP, OV_AP, and OV_ML (p < 0.00) in G1. Conclusion: Age was the most influential factor of COP (21%), OV_AP (24%), and OV_ML (39%). Older children perform better, because of the positive contribution of visual information. Girls initially had worse postural control responses, but at age 7-8, they tend to outgrow boys. Advanced age provides more influence on postural control than visual information and sex.(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The standardization of the assessment of postural control on the force platform will facilitate the conducting of studies in children. There is no standardization for the child population, making it difficult to compare results.The present study aimed to determine the number of attempts needed for the assessment of postural control on a force platform in healthy children. A total of 344 children, 178 (51.7%) girls, eight years old, participated in this study. Postural control was evaluated with a single leg stance for 30 seconds, the present study analyzed pressure center displacement area (COP) and velocity anteroposterior and medial-lateral (Vel. AP and Vel. ML). For the comparative analysis of postural control with three attempts we used the Friedman test. Results were analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman concordance test. No significant differences (p >0.05) were found in the three evaluation. One attempt by the child proved to be sufficient to evaluate the COP, Vel. AP and Vel. ML (p =0.139; p =0.718; p =0.05, respectively). Excellent reproducibility was observed in the COP and Vel. ML variables (ICC:090, p <0.0001, Error:0.07 cm2; ICC:0.91, p =0.001, Error:0.024 cm / s, respectively) and average replicability in variable Vel. AP (ICC:0.68, p =0.0001, Error:0.10 cm / s). The present study recommends one attempt is sufficient to assessment of postural control in healthy children.


RESUMO A padronização da avaliação do controle postural na plataforma da força facilitará a realização de estudos em crianças. Não há padronização para a população infantil, o que dificulta a comparação dos resultados. O objetivo foi determinar o número de tentativas necessárias para a avaliação do controle postural em crianças. Um total de 344 crianças, 178 (51,7%) meninas, oito anos de idade, participaram deste estudo. O controle postural foi avaliado na posição unipodal durante 30 segundos, foi analisado a área de deslocamento do centro de pressão (COP) e a velocidade ântero-posterior e medial lateral (Vel. AP e Vel. ML). Para a análise comparativa do controle postural com três tentativas, utilizamos o teste de Friedman. Os resultados foram analisados utilizando o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse e o teste de concordância Bland-Altman. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas (p> 0,05) nas três avaliações. Uma tentativa da criança provou ser suficiente para avaliar a COP, Vel. AP e Vel. ML (p=0,139; p=0,718; p=0,05, respectivamente). Uma excelente reprodutibilidade foi observada na COP e Vel. Variáveis ML (CCI: 090, p<0,0001, Erro: 0,07 cm2, CCI: 0,91, p=0,001, erro: 0,024 cm/s, respectivamente) e replicação média na variável Vel. AP (CCI: 0,68, p=0,0001, erro: 0,10 cm / s). O presente estudo recomenda que uma tentativa seja suficiente para avaliar o controle postural em crianças saudáveis.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO: O atraso do desenvolvimento motor em crianças com Síndrome de Down (SD), em consequência das características e da presença dos distúrbios associados, pode levar à lentidão na aquisição ou a limitações das habilidades funcionais. Assim, este estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar o equilíbrio e a mobilidade funcional de crianças com SD, uma vez que possibilitam a execução de atividades do cotidiano. O estudo transversal com amostra de conveniência foi realizado com crianças com SD, confirmado por cariótipo, na faixa etária entre oito e 12 anos. A avaliação do controle postural foi realizada com dois instrumentais: Escala de Equilíbrio Pediátrica (EEP) e Teste de Alcance (TA). Foram avaliados 21 participantes com SD, 12 (57%) meninos e nove (43%) meninas, mediana de idade de 10 [8-11] anos. O escore obtido na EEP foi de 53 (51-54). A distância obtida no TA foi de 19 cm (17-23,5). Os resultados mostraram que a realização de atividades funcionais foi pouco afetada, conforme a mediana do escore na EEP; no entanto, alguns participantes pontuaram entre 48 a 51. As medidas atingidas no TA implicam redução da mobilidade funcional.


ABSTRACT: The delay in motor development in children with Down Syndrome (DS), as a consequence of the characteristics and presence of associated disorders, may lead to slowness in the acquisition or limitations of functional abilities. Thus, this study aims to characterize the balance and functional mobility of children with DS, since they enable the execution of daily activities. The cross-sectional study with sample convenience was performed with children with DS, confirmed through karyotype, between the ages of 8 and 12 years old. The evaluation of postural control was performed with two instruments: Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) and Reach Test (RT). Twenty-one participants with DS, 12 (57%) boys and nine (43%) girls, median age of 10 [8-11] years old, were evaluated. The score obtained in the PBS was 53 (51-54). The distance obtained in the RT was 19 cm (17-23.5). The results showed that the performance of functional activities was little affected, according to the median of the score in the PBS; however, some participants scored between 48 to 51. The measurements obtained in the RT imply a reduction in functional mobility.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Investigar hábitos de vida que podem influenciar o desempenho no teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6') em crianças eutróficas e com excesso de peso. Foram realizadas avaliações antropométricas, capacidade funcional de exercício e dos hábitos e verificado o Estilo de Vida na Infância e Adolescência (Evia) em crianças de escolas públicas, com idade entre oito e dez anos. Avaliaram-se 247 escolares, 132 (53%) meninas e 115 (47%) meninos; destes, 96 (39%) crianças apresentavam excesso de peso e 151 (61%) eram eutróficos. Os hábitos de vida mais frequentes entre as crianças foram: assistir à TV (95%), estudar em casa (87%) e fazer tarefas domésticas (86%). Não houve correlação entre desempenho no TC6' e quantidade de horas de sono/noite, e entre desempenho no TC6' e forma de deslocamento no trajeto casa-escola. A prática de esporte e a classificação nutricional apresentaram correlação com o desempenho no TC6' com r=0.1793; p=0.0047 e r=0.1280; p=0.0445, respectivamente, e a regressão linear múltipla mostrou que apresentam fraca influência no desempenho do TC6' com R2=0.03009; p=0.0063 e R2=0.02287; p=0.0174, respectivamente. Concluiu-se que hábitos de vida com baixo gasto energético, como assistir à televisão e estudar, são frequentes. A quantidade de horas de sono/noite e a forma de deslocamento no trajeto casa-escola não apresentaram correlação com a capacidade funcional de exercício, e prática de esportes e classificação nutricional influenciam, mesmo que fracamente, o desempenho no TC6' entre as crianças na faixa etária avaliada.


RESUMEN Se han investigado hábitos de vida que pueden influenciar el desempeño en la prueba de caminata de seis minutos (PC6') en niños eutróficos y con sobrepeso. Han sido realizadas las evaluaciones antropométricas, la capacidad funcional de ejercicio y de los hábitos y ha sido certificado el Estilo de Vida en la Infancia y Adolescencia (Evia) en niños de escuelas públicas, con edad entre ocho y diez años. Han sido evaluados a 247 escolares, a 132 (el 53%) niñas y a 115 (el 47%) niños; de estos, 96 (el 39%) niños presentaban sobrepeso, y 151 (el 61%) eran eutróficos. Los hábitos de vida más comunes entre los niños han sido: el de ver a la Tele (el 95%), el de estudiar en casa (el 87%) y el de hacer las tareas domésticas (el 86%). No ha habido correlación entre el desempeño en el PC6' y la cuantidad de horas de sueño/noche, y entre el desempeño en el PC6' y la forma de desplazamiento en el trayecto casa-escuela. La práctica de deporte y de la clasificación nutricional han presentado la correlación con el desempeño en el PC6' con r=0.1793; p=0.0047 y r=0.1280; p=0.0445, respectivamente, y la regresión lineal múltiple ha enseñado que presentan débil influencia en el desempeño del PC6' con R2= 0.03009; p=0.0063 y R2=0.02287; p=0.0174, respectivamente. Se ha concluido que los hábitos de vida con bajo gasto energético como el de ver a la televisión y el de estudiar son comunes. La cuantidad de horas de sueño/noche y la forma de desplazamiento en el trayecto casa-escuela no han presentado correlación con la capacidad funcional de ejercicio, y la práctica de deportes y la clasificación nutricional influencian, aunque débilmente, el desempeño en el PC6' entre los niños en la franja de edad evaluada.


ABSTRACT This study investigated life habits that can influence the performance on the six-minute walk test (6MWT) in eutrophic and overweight children. Anthropometric evaluations were carried out, as well as the functional exercise capacity and the habits, and Lifestyle in Childhood and Adolescence (Evia, acronym in Portuguese) was assessed in public school children aged between eight and ten years. We assessed 247 students, 132 (53%) girls and 115 (47%) boys; of these, 96 (39%) students were overweight, and 151 (61%) were eutrophic children. The most frequent life habits among children were: to watch TV (95%), to study at home (87%) and to do household chores (86%). No correlation was found between the performance on the 6MWT and the number of sleep/night hours, and between the performance on the 6MWT and the commute to home-school. Sport practice and nutritional classification showed correlation with the performance on the 6MWT with r=0.1793; p=0.0047 and r=0.1280; p=0.0445, respectively, and the multiple linear regression showed they have a weak influence on the performance of the 6MWT with R2=0.03009; p=0.0063 and R2=0.02287; p=0.0174, respectively. We concluded that life habits with low energy expenditure, such as watching television and studying are frequent. The number of sleep/night hours and the commute to home-school showed no correlation with the functional exercise capacity, and the sport practice and nutrition classification influence, even if weakly, the performance on the 6MWT among children in the age group assessed.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of the third copy of chromosome 21 (total or partial). The syndrome occurs in approximately one out of every 700 - 1000 newborns per year. OBJECTIVE: To analyze postural control (PC) of children and adolescents with Down Syndrome (DS) and to compare differences regarding age, sex, nutritional status, and physical activity (PA) levels METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, a convenience sample composed of 21 children and adolescents (9 girls) was categorized according to age: G1 (8 to 9 years old; n = 8), G2 (10 years old; n = 7), and G3 (11 to 12 years old; n = 6), Score-Z: eutrophic (n = 9) and overweight (n = 12), and PA level: practitioners (n = 7) and non-practitioners (n = 14). PC was assessed in the force platform (FP), in the standing position, with feet together during 30 seconds. The variables analyzed were the center of pressure area (COP) and the mean velocities of anteroposterior and mediolateral oscillation (VEL-AP and VEL-ML). Shapiro-Wilk test was used to test the normality of data. Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn's, and Mann Whitney tests were performed to analyze associations with PC. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05 RESULTS: The median COP, VEL-AP and VEL-ML were 3.55 [2.13 - 6.82] , 2.81 [2.32 - 3.16], and 2.98 [2.42 - 3.43], respectively. There were no differences in PC regarding sex, body mass index and PA level. The adolescents in G3 presented lower values of VEL-AP (G1=2,88 [2,82 - 3,21]; G2= 2,94 [2,35 - 3,39]; G3= 2,27 [2 - 2,3]) and VEL-ML (G1= 3,22 [3,14 - 3,68]; G2= 2,91 [2,52 - 3,63]; G3= 2,34 [2,1 - 2,39]. CONCLUSION: Sex, nutritional status, and PA level did not affect COP area and AP-VEL and ML-VEL. However, strategies were affected by age, as observed by differences in velocity, but did not affect the COP area.


INTRODUÇÃO: A Síndrome de Down (SD) é considerada condição genética, resultante da presença de cópia extra do material genético do cromossomo 21, com prevalência mundial de um a cada 700-1000 nascidos vivos. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o controle postural (CP) de crianças e adolescentes com SD e comparar com a idade, sexo, classificação nutricional e prática de atividade física (PAF MÉTODO: Estudo transversal, amostra de conveniência, com 21 particpantes, 12 meninos e 9 meninas. As crianças foram subdivididas quanto à idade: G1 - 8 a 9 anos (n=8); G2 - 10 (n= 7); e G3 - 11 a 12 anos (n=6); score-Z, em eutróficas (n= 9) e acima do peso (n=12); praticantes (n= 7) e não praticantes (n=14) de atividade física regular. O CP foi avaliado na plataforma de força (PF), na posição pés juntos, permanência de 30 segundos. As variáveis analisadas foram área centro de pressão (COP) e as velocidades médias de oscilação anteroposterior e médio lateral (VEL-AP e VEL-ML). Para análise de normalidade dos dados, foi utilizado o teste Shapiro-Wilk. Os testes KrusKal-Wallis, pós teste de Dunn's e Mann Whitney foram realizados para análise das associações com o CP. A significância estatística foi de p<0.05. RESULTADOS: As medianas de COP, VEL-AP e VEL-ML foram 3,55 [2,13-6,82], 2,81 [2,32-3,16] e 2,98 [2,42-3,43], respectivamente. Não houve diferença no CP em relação ao sexo, classificação nutricional e PAF. As crianças do G3 apresentaram valores menores de VEL-AP (G1=2,88 [2,82-3,21]; G2= 2,94 [2,35-3,39]; G3= 2,27 [2-2,3]) e VEL-ML (G1= 3,22 [3,14-3,68]; G2= 2,91 [2,52-3,63]; G3= 2,34 [2,1-2,39]. CONCLUSÃO: O sexo, classificação nutricional e PAF não afetaram o CP, no entanto, a idade modificou as estratégias, visto a diferença na velocidade, mas não interferiu o desempenho em relação a área de COP.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO O objetivo do estudo foi analisar as características antropométricas, capacidade funcional do exercício e atividade física, bem como verificar se há associação entre as variáveis antropométricas e de atividade física com a gravidade da queimadura em crianças após a alta hospitalar. O estado nutricional foi estabelecido pelo escore z, a atividade física regular foi avaliada por meio do questionário Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C), e a capacidade funcional de exercício pelo teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6). O teste Shapiro-Wilk foi utilizado para verificar a normalidade dos dados. Para análise de associação entre as variáveis qualitativas foi utilizado o teste exato de Fisher. A significância foi estabelecida em 5%. A idade foi de 10,0±2,7 anos, e a maioria dos participantes foi classificada como grande queimado. Após 12,7±5,5 meses da alta hospitalar, 13 (61,9%) participantes encontravam-se eutróficos e 7 (33,3%) com a estatura abaixo do esperado. Em relação à atividade física, 11 (52,3%) foram classificados como ativos, e a distância percorrida no TC6 foi de 564,7±70,6. Na análise de associação, não houve diferença significante entre as variáveis eutróficos ou sobrepeso com ativos ou sedentários (p=0,65); e entre médio ou grande queimados com ativos ou sedentários (p=0,31). Os achados mostraram que não houve associação entre as crianças consideradas grande queimado ou sobrepeso/obesas com o sedentarismo, também não houve redução da capacidade funcional do exercício, mesmo com parte dos participantes apresentando alteração nos dados antropométricos e sendo sedentários.


RESUMEN El objetivo de este estudio ha sido analizar las características antropométricas, capacidad funcional de ejercicio y actividad física, así como verificar si hay asociación entre las variables antropométricas y de actividad física con la gravedad de la quemadura en niños después del alta hospitalaria. El estado nutricional ha sido establecido por la puntuación Z, se evaluó la actividad física a través cuestionario Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C), y la capacidad funcional de ejercicio por la prueba de marcha de seis minutos (TM6M). Se utilizó la prueba de Shapiro-Wilk para verificar la normalidad de los datos. Para el análisis de asociación entre las variables cualitativas se utilizó la prueba exacta de Fisher. Se estableció una significancia a 5%. La edad fue de 10.0±2.7 años, la mayoría de los participantes fue clasificada como quemadura grave. Después de 12.7±5.5 meses del alta hospitalaria, 13 (61.9%) participantes se encontraban eutróficos y 7 (33.3%) con la estatura inferior a la esperada. Con relación a la actividad física, 11 (52.3%) participantes fueron clasificados como activos, y la distancia recorrida en el TM6M fue de 564.7±70.6 metros. En el análisis de asociación, no hubo diferencia significante entre las variables eutróficos o sobrepeso con activos o sedentarios (p=0.65); y entre quemadura mediana o grave con activos o sedentarios (p=0.31). Los hallazgos mostraron que no hubo asociación entre los niños considerados quemados graves o sobrepeso/obesas con el sedentarismo, tampoco hubo reducción de la capacidad funcional de ejercicio, aunque parte de los participantes demuestre alteración en los datos antropométricos y sedentarismo.


ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze the anthropometric characteristics, functional capacity of exercise, and physical activity of children who suffered burns. It also aimed to verify whether there is association between the anthropometric and physical activity variables and the severity of the burns, after hospital discharge. Nutritional status, regular physical activity, and functional capacity of exercise were evaluated by z-score, "Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children," and six-minute walk test (6MWT), respectively. Shapiro-Wilk test was used to verify the normality of the data. Fisher's exact test was used to study the association among the qualitative variables. A statistical significance of 5% was adopted. The mean age was 10.0±2.7 years old, and most participants were classified as greatly burned. After 12.7±5.5 months of hospital discharge, 13 (61.9%) participants were eutrophic and 7 (33.3%) were shorter than expected. Regarding physical activity, 11 (52.3%) were classified as active, and the mean distance traveled in the 6MWT was 564.7±70.6 m. There was no significant difference in the association between the variables eutrophic or overweight and active or sedentary (p=0.65) nor between moderately or greatly burned and active or sedentary (p=0.31). The findings showed no association of children classified as greatly burned or overweight/obese with sedentary lifestyle. There was also no reduction of functional capacity of exercise, even with some participants presenting changes in anthropometric data and being sedentary.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO a criança desenvolve as habilidades motoras, cognitivas, comportamento emocional e moral por meio da brincadeira e da interação social, que continuam no decorrer da vida. A variedade de jogos e/ou brincadeiras contextualiza e favorece o desenvolvimento motor adequado, sendo fundamental para aprendizagem motora. O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar a utilização do lúdico como recurso terapêutico na prática da fisioterapia pediátrica, por meio da revisão bibliográfica nas bases de dados indexadas: PubMed, Cochrane, Medline e Lilacs, utilizando-se as palavras-chave "Child", "Play and Playthings", "Physical Therapy Modalities" com o operador booleano "and". Foram levantados 15 estudos, sendo cinco sobre a utilização da atividade lúdica por meio de jogos e brincadeiras, nove por meio de jogos eletrônicos e realidade virtual e um envolvendo ambas as modalidades. As categorias mostraram benefícios e boa aceitação pelas crianças envolvidas: melhora na postura e equilíbrio corporal, motivação, fortalecimento de vínculo, maior mobilidade, redução de sintomas de dor, fadiga, ansiedade e distúrbios de sono; a melhora da função de assoalho pélvico, melhora no desempenho físico, equilíbrio, destreza, força de preensão e movimentação dos membros superiores e maior satisfação com a terapia.


ABSTRACT The child develops motor, cognitive, emotional and moral behavior through play and social interaction, which continue throughout life. The variety of games and/or games contextualizes and provides adequate motor development, and is fundamental for motor learning. The present study aimed to investigate the use of play as a therapeutic resource in the practice of pediatric physical therapy, through a bibliographic review in the indexed databases: PubMed, Cochrane, Medline and Lilacs, using the keywords "Child", " "Play and Playthings", "Physical Therapy Modalities" with the Boolean operator "and". A total of 15 studies were collected including five on the use of play activity through games and play, and nine through electronic games and virtual reality, and one involving both modalities. The categories showed benefits and good acceptance by the involved children: improved posture and body balance, motivation, bond strength, greater mobility, reduction of pain symptoms, fatigue, anxiety and sleep disorders; improvement of pelvic floor function, improvement in physical performance, balance, dexterity, grip strength and upper limb movement, and greater satisfaction with therapy.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Introdução: A obesidade infantil vem crescendo nos últimos anos e ocorre, provavelmente, em função da modificação dos hábitos de vida, como sedentarismo e consumo de alimentos inadequados. Na população com excesso de peso, o controle postural, que é um pré-requisito para diversas posturas e atividades, pode ser modificado. Objetivos: Avaliar e comparar o controle postural e a atividade física em crianças eutróficas, com sobrepeso e obesas com oito anos de idade da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Londrina, PR. Além disso, verificar associação entre atividade física e classificação nutricional. Métodos: A amostra foi composta por 346 crianças, divididas em três grupos: eutróficas (n = 205), com sobrepeso (n = 69) e obesas (n = 72), que responderam ao questionário de atividade física para crianças (PAQ-C). A avaliação do controle postural foi realizada na plataforma de força, de preferência, em posição unipodal. Resultados: A prevalência de crianças acima do peso foi de 40,7% e de sedentárias, 82,9%, com mediana de três horas diárias em frente à TV. As crianças apresentaram, na posição unipodal, área de COP de 13,41 ± 6,77 cm2, o grupo eutrófico apresentou área de COP de 13,97 ± 6,67 cm2, o grupo com sobrepeso, 12,34 ± 5,71 cm2 e os obesos 13,59 ± 7,94 cm2 (p = 0,785). As meninas tiveram melhor desempenho no controle postural do que os meninos (p = 0,000). A frequência AP (Hz) e a velocidade ML (cm/s) apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significante (p = 0,033 e p = 0,016, respectivamente). Também foi identificada associação entre crianças eutróficas e com sobrepeso e atividade física (p = 0,013 ; X2 = 6,186; Odds Ratio = 0,308; p = 0,020; X2 = 5,38, Odds Ratio = 0,293, respectivamente). Conclusão: Há alta prevalência de excesso de peso e sedentarismo. O excesso de peso não afetou a área de COP (cm2), mas interferiu na frequência AP e na velocidade ML. A atividade física mostrou-se fator protetor em crianças eutróficas e com sobrepeso. Portanto, programas de atividade física devem ser inseridos nas escolas, já que têm caráter preventivo quanto à obesidade e ao sedentarismo.


ABSTRACT Introduction: Childhood obesity has been growing in recent years and is probably due to changes in lifestyle, such as inactivity and inadequate food consumption. In the overweight population, postural control, which is a prerequisite for various postures and activities, can be modified. Objectives: To evaluate and compare the postural control and physical activity in eutrophic, overweight and obese children at the age of eight of the public school network of Londrina, PR. In addition, to verify the association between physical activity and nutritional classification. Methods: The sample consisted of 346 children divided into three groups: eutrophic (n=205), overweight (n=69), and obese (n=72) who answered the questionnaire of physical activity for children (PAQ-C). The assessment of postural control was performed on a force platform, preferably in a unipodal position. Results: The prevalence of overweight children was 40.7%, and the prevalence of sedentary ones was 82.9%, with a median of three hours daily in front of the TV. The children presented a COP area of 13.41±6.77 cm2 in the unipodal position, the eutrophic group had COP area of 13.97±6.67 cm2, the overweight group, 12.34±5.71 cm2, and obese 13.59±7.94 cm2 (p=0.785). Girls had better performance in postural control than boys (p=0.000). The AP frequency (Hz) and ML (cm/s) presented a statistically significant difference (p=0.033 and p=0.016, respectively). It was also found association between eutrophic and overweight children and physical activity (p=0.013; X2=6.186; odds ratio = 0.308; p=0.020; X2=5.38, odds ratio = 0.293, respectively). Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of overweight and sedentary children. Overweight did not affect the COP area (cm2), but interfered AP frequency and ML velocity. Physical activity proved to be a protective factor in eutrophic and overweight children. Therefore, physical activity intervention programs should be included in schools since they can have a preventive role regarding obesity and sedentary lifestyle.


RESUMEN Introducción: La obesidad infantil ha aumentado en los últimos años, probablemente debido al cambio en el estilo de vida, como la inactividad física y el consumo de alimentos inadecuados. En la población con sobrepeso, el control postural, que es un requisito previo para varias posturas y actividades, puede ser modificado. Objetivos: Evaluar y comparar el control postural y la actividad física en niños con peso normal, sobrepeso y obesos con ocho años de la Red Municipal de Educación de Londrina, PR. Además, verificar la asociación entre actividad física y clasificación nutricional. Métodos: La muestra fue formada por 346 niños, divididos en tres grupos: peso normal (n = 205), sobrepeso (n = 69) y obesidad (n = 72), que respondieron el cuestionario de actividad física para niños (PAQ-C). La evaluación del control postural se realizó en la plataforma de fuerza, preferiblemente en la posición unipodal. Resultados: La prevalencia de niños con sobrepeso fue del 40,7%, y el sedentarismo del 82,9% con una mediana de tres horas al día frente a la televisión. Los niños presentaron, en la posición unipodal, un área de COP de 13,41 ± 6,77 cm2, el grupo con peso normal presentó un área de COP de 13,97 ± 6,67 cm2, el grupo de sobrepeso 12,34 ± 5,71 cm2 y los obesos 13,59 ± 7,94 cm2 (p = 0,785). Las niñas tuvieron un mejor control postural que los niños (p = 0,000). La frecuencia AP (Hz) y la velocidad ML (cm/s) mostraron una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p = 0,033 y p = 0,016, respec-tivamente). También se encontró asociación entre los niños con peso normal y sobrepeso y la actividad física (p = 0,013; X2 = 6,186; Odds Ratio = 0,308; p = 0,020; X2 = 5,38, Odds Ratio = 0,293, respectivamente). Conclusión: Existe alta prevalencia de sobrepeso e inactividad física. El exceso de peso no afectó el área de COP (cm2), pero interfiere en la frecuencia AP y en la velocidad ML. La actividad física ha demostrado ser un factor de protección para niños con peso normal y sobrepeso. Por lo tanto, deben ser implementados programas de actividad física en las escuelas, ya que tienen un efecto preventivo con respecto a la obesidad y al sedentarismo.
