RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of an ambulatory physical exercise program on the quality of life, anthropometric and biochemical parameters in obese post-menopausal women. METHODS: One hundred and six obese post-menopausal women were randomized to take part in an ambulatory program of physical exercise (aerobic and anaerobic), or to receive conventional information about diet and exercise. After three months, effects on quality of life were evaluated (test Euroqol, Rosenberg and subjective evaluation of health), weight, BMI, waist perimeter and fat mass, and biochemical parameters. RESULTS: Mean age was 59.79 (8.02) years and BMI 37.51 (6.03) kg/m(2). Women included in the exercise group improved their quality of life after three months (EuroQol 0.48 (0.38) vs 0.66 (0.35); Rosenberg: 19.21 (5.05) vs 16.86 (4.94); subjective evaluation of health (%): 60.68 (19.99) vs 71.14 (17.28); p<0.01) and lost weight (90.95 (15.51) vs 88.72 (15.17); p<0.001), BMI (37.5 (5.68) vs 36.59 (5.72); p<0.001) and fat mass (46.28 (4.92)% vs 45.47 (4.88)%; p<0.01). No changes were observed in control group. 31 people withdrew the study before 12 weeks. CONCLUSIONS: An ambulatory physical exercise program improves quality of life and reduces weight and fat mass, in a short period of time, in obese post-menopausal women. The high rate of withdrawal should be considered as an inconvenient in this type of programs.

RESUMO

The present study investigated the role of chronic sport participation in the modulation of vigilance and inhibitory control. We also aimed to disentangle the relative contribution of different types of sport expertise and sport-related fitness to the exercise-cognition relationship. Three groups of young adults differing in their chronic sport expertise (externally-paced sports, n = 22, self-paced sports, n = 22, non-athletes, n = 22) took part in the study. Participants completed a cardiovascular fitness test, a hand-eye coordination test and two different types of vigilance tasks: (1) Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) and (2) Oddball Task, which were designed to gain insight into the cognitive processes involved in sustaining attention over time and allocating selective attention by exerting inhibitory control, respectively. No differences were found in PVT performance between the two athlete groups and between self-paced sports athletes and non-athletes, whereas athletes from externally-paced sports outperformed non-athletes. Crucially, athletes from externally-paced sports also differed from those of self-paced sports and non-athletes in the Oddball task, showing less omission and commission errors. The sport expertise effect was independent of participant's cardiovascular fitness while hand-eye coordination modulated vigilance and inhibitory control performance. Our findings add novel empirical evidence to the role of expertise in cognitively demanding sports as an important factor in the relationship between exercise and cognition.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to examine the impacts on blood lactate concentration, measured heart rate and assessment of perceived exertion during split sessions of equal relative load, as also their relationship to the specific sport practised. Nineteen regional-level athletes (nine middle and long-distance runners (cyclic group) and ten field-sport team players (acyclic group)) performed four high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions with work-interval durations of 10 s, 50 s, 90 s and 130 s. The sessions were carried out at their usual training sites with a separation of at least 48 hours. Blood lactate concentration was measured at rest and 3 min after the completion of each protocol. Heart rate was measured continuously during all sessions with a sampling rate of 1 s, and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was requested at the end of the trial. The results showed an increase in blood lactate concentration, peak heart rate and rating of perceived exertion during long protocols as compared with short ones. No differences were observed in dependent variables between cyclic and acyclic groups. Significant but moderate correlations were observed between post-exercise blood lactate concentration, peak heart rate and RPE.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: it is vital to monitor and promote healthy lifestyle habits in early adolescence, as it is a time of changes when future lifestyle habits are formed. METHODS: a study was conducted to find out the effects of a Healthy Habits Program (HHP) in children between the ages of 10 and 12 years (N = 158). The study included an intervention group (IG) (n = 90), which participated in the HHP for 8 months, and a control group (CG) (n = 100). In order to assess healthy habits in these children we used the Inventory of Healthy Habits (IHH), the reliability of which was previously evaluated (N = 134). RESULTS: the IHH obtained good reliability, Interclass Correlation Coefficient (range .506 - 884; p < .001) and Spearman Correlation Coefficient (range r = 529 - 884; p < .001). As regards the HHP, there were no differences in eating habits initially (p = .564), but by the end of the study (p = .001) the IG showed better habits. As for the other healthy habits indicators, the CG had better habits initially (p = .047), but the score of the IG improved and there were no differences between the groups at the end of the study. CONCLUSIONS: it was shown that the IHH is a suitable and reliable questionnaire for studying habits in adolescents. The HHP brought about changes in the IG, which achieved better scores for eating habits and sum of health habits.


Introducción: la vigilancia y promoción de los hábitos de vida saludables en la primera adolescencia resulta vital, por ser una etapa de cambios y configuración de futuros hábitos de vida. Metodologia: se realizaron dos estudios en niños entre 10-12 años de edad. El primero sobre la fiabilidad del Inventario de Hábitos Saludables (IHS) (N = 134), y el segundo de diseño cuasi-experimental (N = 158), para el estudio pre-post de los efectos del Programa de Hábitos Saludables (PHS). Los hábitos se midieron con el IHS; el grupo de intervención (GI) (n = 90) participó en el PHS durante 8 meses, y el (GC) (n = 100). Resultados: el IHS obtuvo una buena fiabilidad, siendo el índice de correlación interclase (rango .506 - 884; p < 0,001) y el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman (rango r = 529 - 884; p < .001). Respecto al PHS, no existieron diferencias de alimentación previas (p = 0,564), pero sí al final del mismo (p = 0,001), a favor del GI. Del resto de indicadores de hábitos saludables, el GC tenía mejores hábitos iniciales (p = 0,047), pero el GI mejoró su puntuación, no existiendo diferencias finales entre grupos. Conclusiones: el IHS resultó ser un cuestionario adaptado y fiable para el estudio de los hábitos en adolescentes. El PHS provocó cambios en el GI, consiguiendo mejores puntuaciones en alimentación y sumatorio de hábitos saludables.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To assess the relation between the percentage of body fat, the Body Mass Index and the abdominal perimeter in a population of school students who live at a moderate altitude. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted, for which 394 boys and 405 girls between 6 and 11 years of age were selected using a probabilistic method. All the school students chosen were middle class children who lived in the urban area of Arequipa, Peru, located at a moderate altitude (2320m above sea level). The percentage of fat, the Body Mass Index and the abdominal perimeter were assessed. RESULTS: There was a moderate correlation between the percentage of fat and the abdominal perimeter in boys (0.59) and girls (0.68). Lower figures were obtained between the percentage of fat and the Body Mass Index in boys (0.56) and girls (0.66). A connection among the categories of fat percentage (%F) and the abdominal perimeter (p<0.05) was observed; yet, there was no connection between the %F and the Body Mass Index (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The abdominal perimeter has a moderate correlation with the percentage of body fat and can be used as an indicator of adiposity in the mid-section of the body of children who live in Arequipa (Peru) at a moderate altitude.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of a home-based physical exercise program on quality of life, metabolic control, and anthropometric and biochemical parameters in people over 60 years of age with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: Eighty-four Spanish patients aged over 60 years were finally randomized to participate in a home-based, combined physical exercise program (aerobic and anaerobic exercises) or to receive conventional treatment for diabetes. At 6 months, effects on quality of life (EuroQoL questionnaire). HbA1c, fasting glucose, hypoglycemic events, weight, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, and biochemical parameters were assessed. RESULTS: Mean age of study participants was 66.7 (8.0) years. Patients in the exercise group showed an improved quality of life at six months based on EuroQol: 0.48 (0.38) vs 0.66 (0.35) and analogic scale 67.97 (18.92) vs 76.26 (20.14). An improved glycemic control was also seen: HbA1c 6.35 vs 6.0% and fasting glucose 151.2 (36.7) vs 137.6 (23.5) mg/dL, as well as a weight reduction by 1.7 kg. Hypoglycemic events did not increase. No benefits were seen in the control group. Ten subjects withdrew from the study before 6 months. CONCLUSIONS: A home-based physical exercise program improves quality of life, glycemic control, and weight in type 2 diabetic patients older than 60 years.

RESUMO

Introducción. La obesidad es el principal factor de riesgo para la hipertensión arterial y se encuentra asociada a una mayor morbilidad, tanto a corto como a largo plazo.Objetivos. Comparar los indicadores antropométricos y de presión arterial en función del estado nutricional, verificar la asociación entre el estado nutricional y la presión arterial, y determinar la prevalencia de hipertensión en función del estado nutricional de adolescentes de ambos sexos.Métodos. Estudio descriptivo transversal en 499 escolares adolescentes de 11-15 años. Se valoraron las medidas de peso, estatura, índice de masa corporal (IMC), porcentaje de grasa y presión arterial. Se utilizó el IMC para clasificar en categorías (normopeso, sobrepeso y obesos) y la prevalencia de hipertensión se determinó a través de valores superiores del percentilo 95.Resultados. De acuerdo con la clasificación según el IMC, el 81% de las mujeres y el 76,5% de los varones mostraron normopeso. El 15,7% de las mujeres y el 15,5% de los varones evidenciaron sobrepeso; y el 8% de los varones y el 3,3% de las mujeres presentaron obesidad. Según la clasificación de la presión arterial, se observó hipertensión en los varones (6,4%) y en las mujeres (9%). Hubo asociación entre el estado nutricional y la presión arterial (varones: χ2= 53,48; y mujeres: χ2 = 85,21).Conclusión. Se determinó que los adolescentes con sobrepeso y obesidad presentaron mayor adiposidad corporal y presión arterial que sus similares normopesos. A su vez, se verificó una asociación entre el estado nutricional y la presión arterial en ambos sexos. La prevalencia de hipertensión fue mayor a medida que aumentaba el IMC.(AU)

RESUMO

Objetivos. Evaluar la relación entre el porcentaje de grasa corporal, el índice de masa corporal y el perímetro del abdomen en una población de escolares que viven a moderada altitud. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio transversal para el cual fueron seleccionados de forma probabilística 394 niños y 405 niñas entre 6 y 11 años de edad. Todos los escolares seleccionados son de condición socioeconómica media y pertenecen al área urbana de Arequipa, Perú, localizada a moderada altitud (2320 m de altitud). Se evaluó el porcentaje de grasa, el índice de masa corporal y el perímetro del abdomen. La correlación fue evaluada con el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman. Resultados. Se observó correlación moderada entre el porcentaje de grasa y el perímetro del abdomen en niños (0,59) y en niñas (0,68). Se obtuvieron valores inferiores entre el porcentaje de grasa y el índice de masa corporal en niños (0,56) y en niñas (0,66). Se observó asociación entre las categorías del porcentaje de grasa (%G) y el perímetro del abdomen (p<0,05); sin embargo, no hubo asociación entre el %G y el índice de masa corporal (p>0,05). Conclusiones. El perímetro del abdomen tiene una correlación moderada con el porcentaje de grasa corporal y puede ser utilizado como un indicador de adiposidad de la región central del cuerpo en niños que viven en Arequipa (Perú) a moderada altitud.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Analizar los efectos de un programa ambulatorio de ejercicio físico (PEFA) sobre la calidad de vida, el control metabólico y variables antropométricas y bioquímicas en diabéticos tipo 2 mayores de 60 años. Pacientes y métodos Ochenta y cuatro pacientes mayores de 60 años fueron finalmente randomizados a realizar un programa ambulatorio de ejercicio físico combinado (aeróbico y anaeróbico) o a recibir tratamiento convencional para su diabetes, incluyendo dieta y ejercicio. A los seis meses, se evaluó el efecto sobre la calidad de vida (test EuroQol), HbA1c, glucemia en ayunas, frecuencia de hipoglucemias, peso, IMC, perímetro cintura, presión arterial y otros parámetros bioquímicos. Resultados La edad media de los pacientes que participaron en el estudio fue de 66,7 (8,0) años. Los pacientes incluidos en el grupo de ejercicio mejoraron su calidad de vida a los 6 meses: EuroQol 0,67 (0,37) vs 0,76 (0,26) y escala analógica 67,97 (18,92) vs 76,26 (20,14). Además se demostró una mejoría del control metabólico con HbA1c 6,35 vs 6,0%, glucosa en ayunas 151,2 (36,7) vs 137,6 (23,5) mg/dL y una reducción de peso de 1,7kg. Ninguno de estos beneficios se observó en el grupo control. No se demostró un incremento en la prevalencia de hipoglucemias. 10 pacientes abandonaron el estudio antes de los 6 meses. Conclusiones Un programa ambulatorio de ejercicio físico mejora la calidad de vida, el control metabólico y el peso en sujetos mayores de 60 años con diabetes mellitus tipo 2(AU)

RESUMO

Fundamento y objetivo: Evaluar los efectos de un programa ambulatorio de ejercicio físico sobre calidad de vida, parámetros antropométricos y bioquímicos en mujeres obesas posmenopáusicas. Sujetos y método: Un total de 106 mujeres posmenopáusicas con obesidad se asignaron para participar en un programa ambulatorio de ejercicio físico (aeróbico y anaerobio) o para recibir información convencional sobre dieta y ejercicio. Se evaluó a los 3 meses el efecto del programa sobre calidad de vida (test EuroQol, Rosenberg y valoración subjetiva de salud), peso, índice cintura y masa grasa y parámetros bioquímicos considerados de riesgo cardiovascular. Resultados: La edad media fue de 59,79 años (8,02) y el índice de masa corporal (IMC) medio fue de 37,51 kg/m2 (6,03). Las mujeres incluidas en el grupo de ejercicio mejoraron su calidad de vida a los 3 meses de iniciado el programa (EuroQol: 0,48 [0,38] frente a 0,66 [0,35]; Rosenberg: 19,21 [5,05] frente a 16,86 [4,94]; valoración subjetiva de salud [%]: 60,68 [19,99] frente a 71,14 [17,28]; p<0,01) y redujeron peso (peso medio de 90,95 [15,51] frente a 88,72 kg [15,17]; p<0,001), IMC (37,5 [5,68] frente a 36,59 kg/m2 [5,72]; p<0,001) y masa grasa (el 46,28 [4,92] frente al 45,47% [4,88]; p<0,01). En el grupo control no hubo modificaciones en las variables analizadas. Se produjeron 31 abandonos. Conclusiones: Un programa ambulatorio de ejercicio mejora a corto plazo la calidad de vida y reduce el peso y la masa grasa en mujeres obesas posmenopáusicas. La alta tasa de abandono debe considerarse un factor limitante en este tipo de programas (AU)
