A sindrome de Burnout no esporte

Abstract: A sindrome de burnout, considerada uma reacao ao estresse cronico, foi descoberta em profissoes caracterizadas como de “servicos humanos”, casos de medicos, enfermeiros e advogados, expandindo-se, posteriormente, aos profissionais do âmbito esportivo. Assim sendo, o objetivo dessa pesquisa consistiu em revisar conteudos referentes a sindrome no ambiente esportivo a partir dos seus modelos representativos teoricos. Foram analisados os aspectos historicos, instrumentos psicometricos de avaliacao e manifestacoes de burnout em atletas, treinadores, arbitros e diretores esportivos. Conclui-se, portanto, que, independentemente do modo com o qual o individuo se relaciona profissionalmente com o esporte, existe o risco latente de manifestacao da sindrome.

Envelhecimento e qualidade de vida: análise da produção científica da SciELO

Abstract: A producao cientifica e um processo continuo de descoberta e democratizacao do conhecimento para a comunidade cientifica e a sociedade. As pesquisas metacientificas tornaram-se um instrumento importante de avaliacao. Analisaram-se 69 artigos sobre envelhecimento e qualidade de vida, quanto as variaveis: titulo, autoria, sexo, areas de conhecimento e periodicos. Observaram-se algumas diferencas estatisticamente significantes nos resultados obtidos: titulos com ate 12 vocabulos, autoria multipla e sexo feminino. Houve concentracao da publicacao nas areas de Psicologia e de Medicina. A Revista de Saude Publica teve predominio na area de Ciencias da Saude em relacao as Ciencias Humanas. Houve adequacao dos titulos e da autoria multipla, porem, maior producao feminina. Psicologia, Medicina e a Revista de Saude Publica foram as areas de conhecimento e o periodico que mais publicaram sobre o tema. Concluiu-se que a avaliacao sistematica da producao, desde a autoria ate o delineamento, pode contribuir para estabelecer uma politica de pesquisa na area.

Prevalência de sobrepeso e obesidade infantil em instituições de ensino: públicas vs. privadas

Abstract: INTRODUCCION: los datos epidemiologicos indican que la obesidad infantil se ha incrementado en Brasil y que se identifica como un factor de riesgo para el desarrollo temprano de las enfermedades cronicas. La obesidad se ha caracterizado por un aumento de tejido adiposo y del peso corporal.OBJETIVO: diagnosticar y comparar la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad en escolares de instituciones educativas publicas EPU y privadas EPR. Ademas, se encontro una correlacion entre el IMC y el porcentaje de grasa corporal en ninos de ambos sexos.METODOS: se evaluaron las variables antropometricas IMC y DOC [pliegues cutaneos] de ninos n = 91 y ninas n = 109 de entre 8 y 10 anos de edad. Hubo una mayor prevalencia de sobrepeso en los ninos 19,6% y ninas 25,5% de EPR en comparacion con los ninos 6,7% y ninas 8,1% de EPU. El nivel de obesidad fue mayor en los ninos 34,8% y ninas 31,9% de EPR en comparacion con los ninos 6,7% y ninas 6,5% de EPU. Una correlacion positiva se obtuvo entre las variables IMC y el porcentaje de grasa corporal de los ninos r = 0,82 y ninas r = 0,85.RESULTADOS: los resultados sugieren que, a pesar del aumento en todas las clases sociales, el sobrepeso y la obesidad eran mas presentes en aquellos con mayor poder economico, por lo tanto existe una relacion socioeconomica. Este hecho puede dar lugar a un estado de salud mas cerca de un polo negativo.CONCLUSION: el analisis de IMC resulto ser un indice para la determinacion eficiente de sobrepeso y obesidad en los ninos.

Can High Altitude Influence Cytokines and Sleep

Abstract: The number of persons who relocate to regions of high altitude for work, pleasure, sport, or residence increases every year. It is known that the reduced supply of oxygen (O2) induced by acute or chronic increases in altitude stimulates the body to adapt to new metabolic challenges imposed by hypoxia. Sleep can suffer partial fragmentation because of the exposure to high altitudes, and these changes have been described as one of the responsible factors for the many consequences at high altitudes. We conducted a review of the literature during the period from 1987 to 2012. This work explored the relationships among inflammation, hypoxia and sleep in the period of adaptation and examined a novel mechanism that might explain the harmful effects of altitude on sleep, involving increased Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) production from several tissues and cells, such as leukocytes and cells from skeletal muscle and brain.

Nutrient Intake of Women 3 Years After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery

Abstract: Nutritional deficiencies, especially micronutrient deficiencies, can occur in obese individuals. Surgical treatment may aggravate or cause these deficiencies, depending on the type of procedure, food intake and the use of multivitamins, minerals or other supplements. The objective of the study was to evaluate the nutrient intake of women who had undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. A cross-sectional, controlled study was conducted among 44 women after RYGB (operated-group, OG; mean years post-operation = 3.4) and a control group of 38 healthy women (non-operated group, NOG) matched by age and economic condition. The women reported their dietary intake using a 4-day record. The Dietary Reference Intakes was used as a reference. The macronutrient contributions to dietary energy intake presented an acceptable distribution for proteins and carbohydrates. Lipid intake was high among women in the OG and the NOG (43.2 and 55.3 %, respectively). In the evaluation of micronutrients, a statistically significant difference was observed between the groups for iron, zinc and vitamins B1 and B12. Both groups were at high risk for inadequate calcium intake, and the OG was at risk for inadequate zinc, iron and vitamin B1 intake. The nutrient intake of women who had undergone RYGB is very similar to that of non-operated women, with the exception of a reduced intake of iron, zinc and vitamins B1 and B12, which may be due to the difficulty of consuming meat and a balanced diet. The findings of this study emphasize the importance of appropriate nutritional intervention and the regular use of multivitamin and mineral supplements for these patients.
