Parâmetros de intensidade e sudorese de jogadores de futsal por posição de jogo

Abstract: Introduccion:El numero de participantes en programas de entrenamiento de futsal ha crecido como alternativa de practica deportiva entre adolescentes. La aptitud fisica y el perfil hidrico de adolescentes practicantes de futsal son escasos en la literatura cientifica.Objetivo:Determinar la composicion corporal y las caracteristicas metabolicas de adolescentes del sexo masculino participantes de programa de entrenamiento de futsal y relacionarlos con la posicion tactica.Metodos:Fueron evaluados 10 adolescentes del sexo masculino con edades entre 12 y 13 anos y nivel de madurez sexual de 3,7 ± 0,7 para pilosidad y 3,6 ± 1,0 en el desarrollo del genital externo. Los adolescentes fueron sometidos a evaluacion antropometrica (peso corporal, estatura y composicion corporal), neuromotriz (test de impulsion vertical y horizontal y shuttle run) y de demanda metabolica (distancia recorrida, gasto calorico, nu-mero de pasos y variacion hidrica).Resultados:Los resultados de los atletas fueron analizados por las 4 posiciones de juego (arqueros, fijos, laterales y pivos) utilizando analisis de variancia Anova one-way y post-hoc Scheffe con un margen de error de 5%, demostrando que los arqueros presentaron mayor porcentaje de grasa que las demas posiciones de juego, no habiendo diferencias entre ellas. La masa magra presento tendencia inversa, con menor valor de muscularidad en los arqueros que en las posiciones de linea, en donde los laterales y pivos presentaron valores superiores a los fijos. Los arqueros presentaron demanda metabolica menor en funcion de la intensidad analizada durante los partidos comparado con las demas posiciones, corroborando con otros estudios similares. Para todos los grupos, la ingestion de agua ad libitum fue suficiente para mantener el estado de hidratacion.Conclusion:Asi, podemos concluir que existen diferencias en la demanda metabolica entre las posiciones de juego, lo que sugiere prescripcion especifica del entrenamiento buscando evitar el exceso de estImulo o estimulos por debajo de las ne-cesidades de los adolescentes.

The dose-response phenomenon associated with strength training is independent of the volume of sets and repetitions per session

Abstract: Introduction There are few studies on the effectiveness of training models with high volume sets per session in particular muscle groups. Objective The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of different resistance training (RT) repetitions with equalized volumes on muscle adaptations. Methods This study used an experimental design in which forty-seven volunteers underwent 8 weeks of RT after having been distributed randomly into three groups: ten sets of three maximum repetitions (10x3), three sets of ten maximum repetitions (3x10) and five sets of six maximum repetitions (5x6) for each muscular group per training session. Maximum strength (1RM test) and muscle thickness (MT) were evaluated as outcomes. Results A significant main effect (p=0.001) of time on maximum strength was observed for the three groups, but no significance was observed (p>0.05) in time x group interactions. A significant main effect (p=0.001) of time was observed on MT for biceps, triceps and vastus lateralis, without significant differences for time x group interactions. Significant correlations were found between maximum strength and muscle thickness after general statistical analyses for all protocols. Conclusion Improvements in maximum strength and muscle thickness are similar when repetition volumes are equalized through the number of series and repetitions. Level of evidence I; Therapeutic studies, investigation of treatment results.

Possíveis tratamentos farmacológicos em fase de estudos para pacientes sintomáticos de COVID-19:Uma revisão integrativa

Abstract: Objetivo: Realizar uma revisao integrativa sobre os possiveis tratamentos farmacologicos estudados atualmente como estrategias terapeuticas para pacientes COVID-19 positivos. Metodos: Foi realizada uma revisao integrativa de estudos da base de dados Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System, no sistema de busca PUBMED, na qual foram selecionados 58 artigos abordando 9 classes de farmacos. Resultados: A distribuicao dos 58 artigos incluidos na revisao foi categorizada por farmaco abordado. Foram considerados tratamentos com melhoras significativas os que observaram reducao de carga viral, reducao do tempo de internacao ou melhora clinica estatisticamente relevantes de acordo com os criterios de cada estudo. Conclusao: Com a urgencia da producao rapida de resultados, foi observado que ha uma grande dificuldade de producao de ensaios clinicos cego, duplo cego, fazendo com que a comunidade cientifica se restrinja principalmente a estudos retrospectivos e observacionais, que nao sao tao eficientes quanto os citados anteriormente. Com base na observacao dos estudos, ainda nao ha um tratamento eficaz para a COVID-19, sendo crucial a aplicacao de medidas preventivas, a fim de evitar o impacto da doenca na populacao.

Health and illness: representations of physically active older women

Abstract: For a long time, old age was almost exclusively understood as a life period related to the increase of disease occurrence and functional disability. However, a successful aging process has been proposed by recognized psychological theories, presenting opportunities for continual optimization of human development, far beyond levels of morbidity. Nevertheless, there is a lack of evidence about the elderly’s beliefs and concepts regarding the experience of aging, health and disease. Therefore, the present investigation aims to explore elderly’s representations about health and illness, based on the principles of qualitative epistemology proposed by Gonzalez Rey. Six elderly women, who participated in the Project Seniors for an Active Life (developed at Universidade Sao Judas Tadeu) were chosen for data collection. The study demonstrated that feeling healthy appears to be linked to autonomy in performing social roles and the possibility of achieving life goals, while illness appears to be linked to “being old”. Subjectification of old age, health and illness results in the denial of ageing. For the elderly women subject of the study the value given to physical activity as means to improve health is clear. But it is important to highlight that this value has not always been part of their lives: some had it from childhood, others since adulthood and some as a result of the Seniors for an Active Life project.
