Effects of yoga on depressive symptoms, anxiety, sleep quality, and mood in patients with rheumatic diseases: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of yoga on depressive symptoms, anxiety, sleep quality, and mood of patients with rheumatic diseases through a systematic literature review with meta-analysis. LITERATURE SURVEY: This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Statement and the Cochrane recommendations and risk of bias tool. The study was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). Studies were selected using the PICOS (participants, intervention, comparison, outcome, and study) strategy. Searches were carried out until March 2022 and performed in Web of Science, PubMed, SportDiscus, Scopus, Cochrane, and EBSCO databases. METHODOLOGY: Data were extracted to identify the differences between yoga and control and exercise groups and effect sizes. SYNTHESIS: In total, 27 studies were included for qualitative analysis and 18 for meta-analysis. The studies found investigated yoga in patients with osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Regarding the risk of bias, the majority of studies showed a high risk or uncertain risk of bias in several criteria. Regarding the meta-analysis, yoga was favored to decrease depressive symptoms (standard mean difference [SMD]:-0.88; 95% confidence interval [CI]:-1.42; -0.34), anxiety (SMD: -0.51; 95% CI = -0.81 to -0.20), and improve sleep quality SMD = -0.96; 95% CI = -1.36 to -0.56). No differences were found between yoga and other exercise modalities in depression (p < .01). CONCLUSIONS: Yoga is effective in improving depression, anxiety, and sleep quality of patients with rheumatic diseases. However, research in this field still needs further studies, because of methodological issues in the studies and a reduced number of studies conducted on each rheumatic disease and on the effects of yoga on each variable.

Brazilian journal of sports medicine: 10 years of indexation on the web of science / Revista brasileña de medicina del deporte: 10 años de indexación en la web of science / Revista brasileira de medicina do esporte: 10 anos de indexação na web of science

Strength training in patients with fibromyalgia: a feasibility study / Entrenamiento de fuerza en pacientes con fibromialgia: un estudio de factibilidad / Treinamento de força em pacientes com fibromialgia: um estudo de viabilidade

ABSTRACT Introduction: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) is characterized by the presence of diffuse pain lasting for more than three months and is often associated with sleep disorders. Studies have investigated the effect of strength training (ST) on pain and sleep quality in FM patients, but there continue to be diverse perspectives on the effects of this intervention in this population. Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the effects of strength training (ST) on pain and sleep quality in FM patients. Methods: Forty-eight women with FM participated in the study between August and October, 2012. Six (55±6.5 years) performed ST, conducted at Santa Catarina State University, and eight (47±9 years) comprised the control group. The Socio-Demographic and Clinical Questionnaire, the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used. Data were collected before the first session and after the eight-week intervention and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential tests. Results: The eight- week ST intervention decreased pain (p< 0.05) and significantly diminished the daytime sleep dysfunctions (p< 0.05), demonstrating that the proposed program contributes to improving patient quality of life. Conclusion: ST is a feasible treatment for patients with fibromyalgia. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic study.

Twenty years of scientific production in sport and exercise psychology journals: A Bibliometric Analysis in Web of Science

The present study analyzed the last twenty years (2001 to 2020) of scientific production in sport and exercise psychology (SEP) journals indexed in Web of Science. Ten journals were selected. Psychology of sport and exercise was the journal with the highest number of articles per year (n = 82). USA was the most productive country (n = 1553). University of Birmingham (n = 195) was the institution most prolific, and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (n = 239)was the funding agency most present. Nikos Ntoumanis (n = 67) was the most prolific author. Physical activity (n = 326) was the keyword with most occurrences. Open access represents 27.24% of articles. We concluded that the majority of journals published in the English language and with no open access. Self-determination theory is a well consolidated theoretical framework in the last twenty years in SEP journals.(AU)

Use of latent class analysis as a method of assessing the physical activity level, sedentary behavior and nutritional habit in the adolescents' lifestyle: A scoping review.

BACKGROUND: Currently, adolescents' lifestyle is commonly characterized by physical inactivity, sedentary behavior, and inappropriate eating habits in general. A person-oriented approach as Latent Class Analysis (LCA) can offer more insight than a variable-centered approach when investigating lifestyle practices, habits, and behaviors of adolescent population. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to assess which variables are mostly used to represent the physical activity level, sedentary behavior SB) and nutritional habit in the adolescents' lifestyle in studies that used the LCA. DESIGN: Scoping review. METHODS: The study was a performed in accordance with the proposed criteria for systematic reviews and meta-analyses-Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42018108444). The original articles were searched in MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and SPORTdiscus. The Quality Assessment Tool analyzed the risk of bias of the included studies. RESULTS: 30 original articles were selected. The physical activity level (28 studies), SB and nutritional habits (18 studies) were the most common variable used to evaluate the adolescent's lifestyle by LCA model. Specifically, physical inactivity and high SB were the manifest variables with higher frequency in the negative latent classes (LCs) in adolescent girls. On the other hand, physical exercises and sports were activities more commonly labeled as positive LCs. CONCLUSIONS: The LCA models of the most of selected studies showed that physical inactivity, high SB were the most common in the LCs with negative characteristics of the adolescents' lifestyle. Better understanding the results of analyzes of clusters of multivariate behaviors such as the LCA can help to create more effective strategies that can make the lifestyle of adolescents healthier.

Acute effect of strength training on pain in women with fibromyalgia: A brief report.

OBJECTIVE: The aim was to analyze the effect of one session and three sessions of strength training (ST) on pain in women with fibromyalgia (FM). METHOD: Twenty-three women with FM performed three sessions of ST for a week. Each training session worked the main muscle groups and lasted 60 min. Three sets of 12 repetitions were performed with 1 min intervals in between. The load was increased based on the perception of subjective effort of each patient. Pain intensity was evaluated immediately after the first and third sessions using a Fischer digital algometer. RESULTS: After the first ST session, pain reduction was observed. No significant differences were found in pain thresholds on the baseline versus the third session. The analysis of MBI demonstrated that the ST does not worsen patients' pain, indicating a 52.2% trivial effect and a 39.1% beneficial effect. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that there is no harmful effect on the pain of women with FM after an acute session of ST. We emphasize that despite the promising results, more studies on the subject are needed to help understand pain in patients with FM.

Preferred exercise and mental health of the patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Preferred exercise may be beneficial for the mental health of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).This study aimed to investigate the effects of preferred exercise on the quality of life (Qol), depression, and mood states of the patients with FMS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was a nonrandomized controlled trial. The patients with FMS were divided into an experimental group (EG; n = 22) and a control group (CG; n = 14). The patients in the EG performed their preferred exercise (resistance, walking, or stretching) for 12 weeks. CG went to a waiting list. Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory, and Brunel Mood Scale were used to evaluate the outcomes. RESULTS: The EG exhibited a decrease in the total impact of FMS on the Qol, depression, tension, and mental confusion (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Preferred exercises reduced the impact of FMS on the Qol, depression, and mental confusion of patients with FMS.

Impact of Problematic Smartphone Use on Mental Health of Adolescent Students: Association with Mood, Symptoms of Depression, and Physical Activity.

Problematic smartphone use in adolescent students can impair their mental health and behavior, thereby affecting academic performance and interpersonal relationships as well as reducing time spent on physical activity. This study investigated the association between problematic smartphone use and mood, symptoms of depression, and level of physical activity in adolescent students. The sample consisted of 308 boys (46.1 percent, 16.04 ± 1.30 years) and 359 girls (53.9 percent, 15.54 ± 1.44 years), aged 13-18 years (15.77 ± 1.40 years). Four instruments were used: the Sociodemographic, School, and General Health Characteristics Questionnaire; Smartphone Addiction Scale (to measure problematic smartphone use); Brunel Mood Scale; and Beck Depression Inventory. The study found that physically inactive adolescent students were more likely to present with problematic smartphone use than those who were physically active, and girls were more likely to exhibit problematic smartphone use than boys. Adolescent students with problematic smartphone use presented with more mood disturbances and symptoms of depression than did adolescent students without problematic smartphone use. Overall, physical inactivity and problematic smartphone use can reduce vigor and increase symptoms of depression in adolescent students.

Effects of resistance training on the health-related quality of life of patients with rheumatic diseases: Systematic review with meta-analysis and meta-regression.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of resistance training on the health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) of patients with rheumatic diseases through a systematic review with meta-analysis and meta-regression. METHOD: Until 31 August 2018, systematic searches were carried out in the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, SportDiscus, Scopus, and Cochrane Library. Clinical trials examining the effects of resistance training on the HR-QoL of patients with rheumatic diseases were collected. The effects were calculated using the standardized mean difference of HR-QoL and the domains of the Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36) questionnaire (i.e., physical component, mental component, functional capacity, limitations due to physical aspects, limitations due to emotional aspects, social aspects, mental health, general health, pain and vitality). RESULTS: A total of 32 studies were included. The studies analyzed the general HR-QoL by using several instruments, with many of them using SF-36. The meta-analysis included 29 studies, and the results indicated that resistance training improves the general HR-QoL (p < 0.01, d = -0.50, 95% CI: -0.70 to -0.30), the physical role functioning (p < 0.01, d = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.20 to 0.61), physical functioning, social aspects, and body pain (p = 0.03, d = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.09 to 01.34; p = 0.04, d = 0.27, 95% CI: 0.01 to 0.53; and p = 0.01, d = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.07 to 0.55, respectively) compared with control group. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that resistance training effectively improves the HR-QoL of patients with rheumatic diseases, including physical role functioning, physical functioning, social aspects, and body pain. Further studies are needed on some of the rheumatic diseases, particularly chronic fatigue and lupus.

The relationship between sleep quality and fibromyalgia symptoms.

This study investigated the relationship between sleep quality and fibromyalgia symptoms in 326 patients. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to assess the presence of sleep disorders. Multivariate analysis of variance was performed to determine the influence of fibromyalgia symptoms on sleep quality. The prevalence of sleep disorders was 92.9 percent. Patients reported generalized pain (88.3%), memory failure (78.5%), moodiness (59%), excessive anxiety (77.5%), and concentration difficulties (69.1%). Patients with more symptoms reported poor sleep quality (p < .05; d = .74), and the total Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score correlated with the number of symptoms (p < .01). Sleep quality has an important association with fibromyalgia symptoms.

The Psychological Effects of Exergames for Children and Adolescents with Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to analyze the psychological effects of exergames for children and adolescents with overweight or obesity. In August 2018, the electronic databases searched were PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, Science Direct, CINAHL, and PsycINFO. The eligibility criteria were defined according to the population, intervention, comparison, outcome, and study design. In relation to the population, only studies with children or adolescents with overweight or obesity and without any other comorbidities were analyzed. Only publications in English were considered. Nine studies were selected. The comparisons identified were in relation to weight, type of activity, and play style versus control and preintervention. The magnitude of effect size suggests that the practice of exergaming has a small effect on psychological outcomes. Furthermore, cooperative games produced greater attraction to the game (g = 4.71, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.23-6.19) and greater intrinsic motivation (g = 5.29; 95% CI = 3.68-6.90). It was verified that self-esteem (standard mean difference [SMD] = 0.37; 95% CI = 0.09-0.66), and self-efficacy (SMD = 0.42; 95% CI = 0.06-0.79) improved after playing an exergame. This systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that exergames may be effective in improving psychological aspects of children and adolescents with overweight or obesity. Given the limited number of studies, it is essential to increase scientific research in this area.

Effect of yoga on the quality of life of patients with rheumatic diseases: Systematic review with meta-analysis.

AIM: To analyze the effects of yoga on the quality of life of patients with rheumatic diseases through a systematic review with meta-analysis. METHODS: This systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted following the recommendations of the Declaration of PRISMA. The searches were carried out on the databases PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, Scopus, and Cochrane until August 2018. Experimental studies evaluating the effect of yoga on the quality of life in patients with rheumatic diseases were included. RESULTS: After data searches, 483 studies were found, 23 of which were included in our analysis. We found that yoga improves the overall quality of life (d= -0.64; 95% CI: -0.91 to 0.038) of patients with rheumatic diseases, as well as the following domains: functional capacity (d = 16.43; 95% CI: 13.37-19.49), physical aspects (d = 27.11; 95% CI: 19.40-34.83), emotional aspects (d = 26.00; 95% CI: 18.87-33.13), general health (d = 16.61; 95% CI: 12.66-20.55), and social aspects (d = 7.01 ; 95% CI: 5.57-9.45). CONCLUSION: Evidence suggests weak recommendations can be made for the use of yoga in the management of RD patients.

Burnout in elite junior tennis players: a multiple case study / Burnout en jugadores de tenis junior de élite: Un estudio de caso múltiple / Burnout em tenistas juniores de elite: um estudo de caso múltiplo

This cross-sectional, descriptive study aimed to identify the prevalence and risk of burnout in Brazilian elite young tennis players, using a multiple-case approach. A total of 130 participants were recruited using a random, non-probabilistic method, based on participation in 2 international tournaments. The Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) was used to measure burnout in the players. The results showed that 10% of the athletes (n = 13) had a moderate risk of burnout, 3.1% had a high risk, and 2.3% showed signs of burnout. Analysis of the categories of players with a high risk of burnout and those with signs of burnout showed that there were five categories: recurrent burnout, burnout in career transition, changes in burnout level, burnout related to high expectations, and burnout related to overtraining. The findings of the study reinforce recent models showing that athlete burnout is a complex phenomenon that can manifest in different ways, depending on the athlete's characteristics and life experiences in the sport

ABSTRACT Introduction: Coping is defined as a process based on motor, behavioral, and cognitive effort to deal with the psychophysical demands that exceed an individual's capacity. One of the instruments used most often for evaluating coping skills is the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 (ACSI-28). Objective: This study aimed to validate the Brazilian version of the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 (ACSI-28). The ACSI-28 is a multidimensional inventory developed to evaluate the different methods used by athletes to cope with sports pressure. Methods: The sample comprised 667 Brazilian athletes: male (n = 467; 70%); female (n = 200; 30%) with mean age 25 ± 5 years and eight (± 5) years of experience in individual sports (n = 182; 27.3%) or team sports (n = 485; 72.7%). Results: For construct validity, the relational structure of the items that comprise the original version of ACSI-28 was analyzed using EFA. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure (KMO = .83) and the Bartlett sphericity test (p <.0001) indicated adequate adjustment of the data to the factorial analyses. The reliability of the instrument was assessed by measuring internal consistency and by the stability of the measurement (test-retest). Conclusion: The Brazilian version of Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 was preliminarily considered valid. Level of Evidence III; Retrospective comparative study.

Burnout in elite tennis players of different junior categories / Burnout em tenistas de elite em diferentes categorias infanto-juvenis / Burnout en tenistas de élite en diferentes categorías infanto-juveniles

ABSTRACT Introduction: Burnout syndrome manifests in athletes in the form of three main symptoms/characteristics: emotional and physical exhaustion, sport devaluation, and reduced sense of accomplishment. Faced with the need to achieve optimum performance, young tennis players are exposed to several stressors than can lead to burnout, yet few reports on burnout in tennis have been researched. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze burnout in elite tennis players in different junior categories (CAT14, CAT16, CAT18). Methods: A total of 130 athletes, including 102 men (x=15.14±1.3) and 28 women (x=15.04±1.13), were selected for this cross-sectional study. Burnout was measured using a version of the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ). Results: CAT18 tennis players had higher rates of overall burnout and sport devaluation compared with CAT16 and CAT14 players. CAT14 and CAT16 players had higher scores for "reduced sense of accomplishment," in association with sport devaluation. Conclusion: Differences found in CAT18 players may reflect the demands of transition from the junior to the professional circuit. Reduced sense of accomplishment should be monitored in athletes, to prevent burnout and cessation of sports activities. Level of Evidence III; retrospective comparative.

RESUMO Introdução: A síndrome de burnout manifesta-se em atletas por meio de três principais sintomas/características: exaustão emocional e física, desvalorização esportiva e senso de realização reduzido. Diante da necessidade de obter um desempenho ideal, jovens tenistas estão expostos a fatores de estresse que podem levar ao burnout, porém poucos estudos sobre o burnout no tênis têm sido pesquisados. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o burnout em tenistas de elite em diferentes categorias infanto-juvenis (CAT14, CAT16, CAT18). Métodos: No total, 130 atletas, incluindo 102 homens (x=15,14±1,3) e 28 mulheres (x=15,04±1,13), foram selecionados para este estudo transversal. O burnout foi medido usando o Questionário de Burnout para Atletas (QBA). Resultados: Os tenistas da CAT18 apresentaram níveis mais altos de burnout geral e desvalorização esportiva com relação aos jogadores da CAT16 e CAT14. Os atletas da CAT14 e CAT16 apresentaram níveis mais altos de "senso de realização reduzido" em associação com a desvalorização esportiva. Conclusões: As diferenças encontradas nos atletas da CAT18 podem refletir as demandas de transição do circuito júnior para o profissional. A percepção de realização reduzida deve ser monitorada nos tenistas para evitar burnout e abandono das atividades esportivas. Nível de Evidência III; Estudo retrospectivo comparativo.

Acute effects of physical exercises on the inflammatory markers of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome: A systematic review.

OBJECTIVE: In patients with fibromyalgia (FM), exercise is indicated for symptomatic treatment. However, little is known about the inflammatory response to acute exercise in these patients. This study examines the acute effects of exercise on the inflammatory response in patients with FM. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, SportDiscus, Scopus, Virtual Health Library (VHL), and Cochrane Library databases. RESULTS: Six studies that met the inclusion criteria were included in the analysis; three of them evaluated the effects of resistive exercise, while three evaluated the effects of aerobic exercise. Several studies evaluated pro-inflammatory (interleukin [IL]-6, IL-8, IL-1ß, IL-18, tumor necrosis factor-α) and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels (IL-10) and stress (Hsp72) protein levels before and after the intervention with exercise. Studies found a low-grade baseline chronic inflammatory state in patients with FM, demonstrated by the alteration of one or more of the studied markers. CONCLUSIONS: We suggest that patients with FM probably have low-grade chronic inflammation, because studies found higher concentrations of IL-8 and TNF-α and high expression of IL-10 in these patients; however, the effects of exercise on the inflammatory markers in these patients are unclear. Although more research is needed on the effect of exercise on inflammation, none of the studies reported worsening of symptoms with exercise recommended as treatment.
