Full textThe growing demand for aquatic exercises has stimulated the increase of studies in this area aiming at a better prescription for different populations. The water-based exercise in particular has been widely recommended for the elderly due to its numerous benefits already documented, especially in muscle strength and cardiorespiratory responses. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of two water-based training models on the cardiorespiratory and strength responses in older women. Sixty-nine elderly and sedentary women (60-75 years) were divided into two water-based training groups and control group: aerobic group (AG, n = 22), resistance group (RG, n = 23) and control group of relaxation in immersion (CG, n = 24). The interventions had a 10-week duration and 45 minute sessions were held twice a week. Before and after this period there were two sessions assessments, one destined to maximal dynamic strength test and one for cardiorespiratory evaluations at rest and at maximal effort. The Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE), with post hoc Bonferroni was used to statistical analysis of data (α = 0.05). The results showed a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure (AG: -4%; RG: -6%; CG: -5%) and diastolic (AG: -1%; RG: -7%; CG: -6%) at rest for all the groups, with no differences between them. The resting, ventilatory threshold and peak heart rate did not change with the interventions. In contrast, the GA showed significant increases in oxygen consumption in the second ventilatory threshold (17%) and peak (14%) and this behavior was not observed in the other groups assessed. Regarding muscular strength, all groups showed a significant increase in maximal dynamic knee extension without differences between them (GA: 11%; GF: 8%; GC: 5%), the maximum dynamic strength of knee flexion increased in GA (14%) and GF (18%) and, finally, the strength of shoulder horizontal flexion showed no significant differences after interventions. Thus, we conclude that the three interventions showed significant improvements in blood pressure at rest. The strength training in the water aerobics provides significant increases in muscle strength of the lower limbs. Finally, the aerobic waterbased training seems to be an effective training model for both increases in muscle strength of the lower limbs and to improvements in cardiorespiratory responses among sedentary older women.

Full textThe aim of the present study was to compare the effects of a combined training, resistance training and an aerobic training performed on the water environment, on the neuromuscular, cardiorespiratory and functional adaptations of elderly women. Thirty-five women were divided into three training groups of water-based exercise: combined training (CT; n=11; 64,18±3,6 years), resistance training (RT; n=14; 67,86±4,2 years) and aerobic training (AT; n=11; 66,45±4,23 years), and performed those trainings for 12 weeks, twice a week. Before and after the training period, the subjects were evaluated on neuromuscular, cardiorespiratory and functional responses, furthermore nine subjects made part of a control period of four weeks before the beginning of the training, performing the main evaluations before and after this period. Statistical analysis used the paired T test and Intraclass Correlation Coeficient (ICC) for comparisons in the control period, and Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE), with post-hoc Bonferroni test, to compare the moments (pre and post-training) and between groups (CT, RT and AT). A significance level of α = 0.05 was adopted (SPSS 20.0). Regarding the neuromuscular variables, a significant improvement was found in maximal dynamic strength and muscle endurance of knee extensors and flexors, as well as in maximal isometric contraction and neuromuscular economy of knee extensors (p<0,05), without significant changes in maximal isometric electromyography activity of vastus lateralis and rectus femoris (p>0,05). In relation to the cardiorespiratory variables, rest heart rate and time to exhaustion showed significant improvements after training (p<0,05), while the peak oxygen uptake and the oxygen uptake relative to the ventilatory thresholds did not increase significantly (p>0,05). Furthermore, in the funcional capacity evaluations, significant increases were found on the flexibility and resistance test (p<0,05) without significant increases on the agility test (p>0,05). It is important to highlight that, the responses founded in all variables were similar between the three training groups, without significant differences between them (p>0,05), except for muscular economy on vastus lateralis muscle, which showed better values in TF group compared to TA (p <0.05). Thus, we can conclude that those three training methods on water-based exercise were effective to promote benefits in several parameters of physical fitness of elderly women, at the same magnitude.

Full textThe aim of this study was investigate the effects of different intra-session exercise orders in the neuromuscular and cardiorespiratory adaptations induced by concurrent training in elderly. Twenty-six healthy elderly men (64.7 ± 4.1 years), were placed into two concurrent training groups: strength prior to (GFA, n=13) or after (GAF, n=13) endurance training. Subjects trained strength and endurance training during 12 weeks, three times per week performing both exercise types in the same training session. Upper and lower body muscle thickness (MT) were determined by ultrasonography. Upper (elbow flexors) and lower body (knee extensors) one maximum repetition test (1RM), lower-body isometric peak torque (PTiso) and rate of force development (RFD) of knee extensors were evaluated as strength parameters. In addition, the specific tension was evaluated by the quotient between knee extensors 1RM/2 and the quadríceps femoris MT. Lower-body maximal electromyographic activity and the neuromuscular economy (root mean square values at 50% of pre training PTiso normalized by maxima neuromuscular activity) of vastus lateralis (VL) and rectus femoris (RF) muscles were determined by surface electromyography. The peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), maximum aerobic workload (Wmáx), absolute (VT1 and VT2) and relative (VT1% and VT2%) ventilatory thresholds, as well as workloads at VT1 and VT2 (WVT1 and WVT2) were evaluated during a maximal incremental test on a cycle ergometer. Both GFA and GAF increased the lower-body 1RM and specific tension, but the increases observed in the GFA were greater than GAF [(35.1 ± 12.8 vs. 21.9 ± 10.6%, respectively, P<0.01) and (27.5 ± 12.7 vs. 15.2 ± 10.3%, respectively, P<0.02)]. In addition, GFA and GAF increased upper-body 1RM, PTiso of knee extensors and flexors (P<0.001), RFD of knee extensors (P<0.05), MT of elbow flexors and knee extensors (P<0.001), maximal neuromuscular activity of VL and RF (P<0.01 to 0.05), and, neuromuscular economy of VL (P<0.001), with no differences between groups. The neuromuscular economy of RF was improved only in GFA (P<0.01) and this increase was greater that GAF (P<0.05). There were increases in the VO2peak (P<0.001), Wmáx (P<0.001) and WVT2 (P<0.001), with no difference between GFA and GAF. Only GFA increased the WVT1 (P<0.05). There were no modifications after training in the VT1, VT2, VT1%, and VT2%. Performing strength prior to endurance exercise during concurrent training resulted in greater maximal strength gains and neuromuscular economy of lower-body, as well as greater changes in the in the power at first ventilatory threshold.

Full textINTRODUCTION: The optimal training model that elicits greater metabolic and cardiovascular adaptations in obese children remains unclear. In adults, there is evidence suggesting that low-volume sprint interval training (HIT) is a time-efficient strategy to induce metabolic adaptations that are comparable to high-volume traditional endurance training (ET). PURPOSE: To compare two modalities of exercise training (i.e., Endurance Training [ET] and High- Intensity Interval Training [HIT]) on health-related parameters in obese children aged between 8 and 12 years. METHODS: Thirty obese children were randomly allocated into either the ET or HIT group. The ET group performed a 30 to 60-minute continuous exercise at 80% of the peak heart rate (HR). The HIT group training performed 3 to 6 sets of 60-s sprint at 100% of the peak velocity interspersed by a 3-min active recovery period at 50% of the exercise velocity. HIT sessions last ~70% less than ET sessions. At baseline and after 12 weeks of intervention, aerobic fitness, body composition and metabolic parameters were assessed. RESULTS: Both the absolute (ET: 26.0%; HIT: 19.0%) and the relative VO2 peak (ET: 13.1%; HIT: 14.6%) were significantly increased in both groups after the intervention. Additionally, the total time of exercise (ET: 19.5%; HIT: 16.4%) and the peak velocity during the maximal graded cardiorespiratory test (ET: 16.9%; HIT: 13.4%) were significantly improved across interventions. Insulinemia (ET: 29.4%; HIT: 30.5%) and HOMA-index (ET: 42.8%; HIT: 37.0%) were significantly lower for both groups at POST when compared to PRE. Body mass was significantly reduced in the HIT (2.6%), but not in the ET group (1.2%). A significant reduction in BMI was observed for both groups after the intervention (ET: 3.0%; HIT: 5.0%). The responsiveness analysis revealed a very similar pattern of the most responsive variables among groups. CONCLUSION: HIT and ET were equally effective in improving important health related parameters in obese youth.

Full textIntroduction: Exercise is well known as one of the most powerful tools to prevent and control obesity. However, the reasons why overweight individuals seem even less willing than normal-weight ones to participate in, and adhere to exercise programs remain largely unknown. One of the hypotheses is that the high rates of dropouts typically found among overweight teenagers might be due to the type of exercise prescribed, and/or compromised thermoregulatory ability. The interaction between exercise and excess body weight would alter some unique variables such as, body temperature, perceived exertion, thermal comfort, and irritability, especially if exercises programs are performed in environments with high temperatures. Aim: This study investigated physiological and perceptual responses in teenager women during concurrent (CE) and aerobic exercise (AE) sessions, under two distinct thermic environmental conditions: artificially heated (Ht) and thermoneutral (Tn). Methods: Twelve obese pubescent girls (12.7 ± 0.6 years, 49.9 ± 3.0% fat) physically active and heat-acclimatized were randomly assigned to participate in four differents sessions, the AE sessions last 40-minutes each and consisted of cycling (60-70% of VO2peak) under two environmental conditions: Aerobic Thermoneutral (ATn) in which the temperature was kept to 22-25°C, and relative humidity between 55-60%; and Aerobic Heated (AHt) in which the temperature was kept between 35-37ºC, and relative humidity between 40-45%. The CE sessions were organized into four periods (10 minutes each) alternating cycling (60-70% VO2peak) and two sets of nine strength exercises [12-15 repetitions at 60-70% of 1-RM]. The CE sessions were also tested under the same above-mentioned environmental conditions (concurrent thermoneutral - CTn and concurrent heated - CHt). Participants were allowed to drink about 279ml (± 42.7ml) of water during the exercise sessions. The following variables were assessed: rectal temperature (Tre), heart rate (HR), rate of perceived exertion (RPE), perceived exertion scale for children (PESC), thermal sensation, thermal comfort, irritability, urine color, and urine specific gravity. One, and two way ANOVAs, repeated measures ANOVA, and Friedman and Wilcoxon tests (p <0.05) were performed using the different types of exercises (AE and CE), and temperature conditions (Tn and Ht) as factors. Results: The analysis confirmed similar (p> 0.05) hydration levels, Tre, and HR at the beginning of each exercise session confirming the baseline. The results showed differences between pre- and post-exercise Tre assessments (AHt: 37.1 ± 0.2 - 37.7 ± 0.2 ºC; and CHt: 37.1 ± 0.2 - 37.5 ± 0.2 °C) (p = 0.001). No differences were found during the CTn sessions (p = 0.967). During the ATn sessions, the Tre differed (p = 0.016) only during the first 20 minutes (37.1 ± 0.2 - 37.4 ± 0.3). Furthermore, no difference (p = 1.000) was found between the ATn and CTn sessions. However, the comparison between AHt and CHt differed (p = 0.016) at the 35 (AHt = 37.6 ± 0.2; and CHt = 37.4 ± 0.2 °C), and 40 minutes (AHt = 37.7 ± 0.2 and CHt = 37.5 ± 0.2 °C). The thermal comfort and thermal sensation were higher during the heated and aerobic sessions (p <0.05). No differences in the PESC, and irritability were found. Conclusion: Overall these findings conclude that overweight teenagers respond physiologically better during CE as compared to AE sessions. In addition, the results demonstrated that perceived exertion, thermal sensation, and thermal comfort led to a significant increase in reported pleasure on AE regardless of environmental condition. Over time, the CE could increase the enjoyment of and intrinsic motivation for physical activity, increasing adherence of this particular population.

Purpose: Clinical, epidemiological and basic research evidence supports the inclusion of regular physical activity as a tool for the prevention of chronic disease and the enhancement of overall health. Cardiovascular disease (CVD), the number one cause of death in the United States, is more prevalent in African Americans when compared to other races. Extensive data suggests that increasing physical activity level, particularly with aerobic exercise training (AEXT), can improve modifiable risk factors (hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia) for CVD. The common pathology for cardiovascular (CV) risk factors is atherosclerosis. Central to the complex pathology of atherosclerosis is the vascular endothelium. In recent years, autocrine and paracrine endothelial biomarkers that directly affect endothelial status (activated vs. inactivated) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the development and progression of CVD and its precursors. Exercise interventions have been used to modify the concentrations of endothelial biomarkers in populations with varying disease states. The purpose of this study was to identify plasma and urinary biomarkers that are associated with aerobic capacity (VO2max) in a sedentary African American population and further determine the effect of 6-months of AEXT on the concentration and activity of the biomarkers. Methods: Participants were recruited from the Philadelphia, PA area. Twenty two pre-hypertensive African Americans (SBP 122.15±10.33, DBP 77.00±5.88; 52.27±6.25 years of age) were included. Routine fasting blood samples were drawn to assess blood lipids and fasting blood glucose along with urinalysis to rule out kidney dysfunction or disease. Subjects had a physical examination and BP measured under standardized conditions. Exclusion criteria included smoking, a body mass index (BMI) > 40 kg/m2, alcohol intake of more than 3 drinks per day, diabetes (fasting glucose level >126 mg/dl), total cholesterol >240 mg/dl, renal or CV disease. On a separate day, a sub-maximal graded exercise test with gas analysis was conducted to determine aerobic capacity. VO2max was estimated from the baseline submaximal graded exercise test. Regression analysis was used to calculate VO2max. Participants underwent 6 months of AEXT at a prescribed 3 sessions per week for 40 minutes at 65% VO2max. Plasma biomarkers of oxidative stress (8-isoprostane PGF2a), cellular activation (VCAM-1), anti-oxidants (SOD), vascular tone (NO) and anti-thrombosis (2,3 dinor 6-keto Prostaglandin F1a) were measured before and after AEXT by commercially available EIA and ELISA kits. CRP, a biomarker of systemic inflammation and predictor of CV events was assessed. Results: Estimated VO2max values confirmed that the exercise group was untrained (VO2max: 25.31 ± 3.91 ml/kg/min). At baseline the most significant correlations observed were between VO2max and CRP (r= -.50, p= .01) as well as CRP and 8-isoprostane PGF2a (r= .88, p2max and CRP remained statistically significant (r= -.46, p= .02). Nitric oxide and VCAM-1 concentrations significantly differed following the AEXT intervention (NO: pre 24.07 ± 8.80 µmol/L, NO: post 37.17 ± 15.57 µmol/L, p Conclusions: Elevated basal plasma VCAM-1, CRP and 8- isoprostane PGF2α levels are evidence of endothelial activation and systemic inflammation. Pre-intervention findings provide evidence that having a higher VO2max was strongly associated with decreased concentrations of CRP, a marker of systemic inflammation that is highly associated with risk for CVD. Post-intervention analysis suggests 6-months of AEXT is an appropriate intervention for elevating NO and decreasing VCAM-1 concentrations. This suggests there were cardioprotective modifications in the endothelial phenotype. The absence of significant change in SOD activity, 2,3 dinor 6-keto Prostaglandin F1a and CRP concentrations may suggest that AEXT is not a suitable mechanism to elicit improvements in all metabolic pathways that impact the state of the endothelium in previously sedentary African Americans.

Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo prospectivo, controlado e aleatorio e investigar os efeitos de um programa de treinamento aerobio supervisionado sobre a pressao arterial, funcao vascular, e perfil metabolico-hormonal de hipertensos naomedicados, durante tres meses. Hipertensos sedentarios, com idade de 50(9) anos, foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos na proporcao 2/1, intervencao e controle, respectivamente. O tamanho da amostra foi estimado para 10% erro À e 5% erro ¿, para detectar uma diferenca de 3 mL/kg/min no consume pico de oxigenio, com desvio padrao de 3 mL/kg/min, ao teste ergoespirometrico. Apos 3 meses de exercicios, o treinamento aerobio (n = 55, esteira eletrica, 50-75% VO2max, 3-5 sessoes/sem, 45 min/sessao) promoveu um aumento de 12% no VO2max (p = 0,0001), enquanto no grupo controle (n = 24, protocolo isometrico/postural, 3 sessoes/sem, 45 min/sessao) nao se observou mudanca no condicionamento aerobio. O consumo de sal dietetico durante o estudo provavelmente nao se alterou, como indicado pelo sodio urinario de 24 horas. A massa corporal diminuiu nos dois grupos ao final do estudo (p = 0,001 para aerobio e p = 0,03 para controle), assim como o colesterol plasmatico (p = 0,002 para aerobio e p = 0,0498 para controle). Isso pode sugerir uma mudanca voluntaria na dieta, visto nao ter havido orientacao nutricional previa. Ao final do estudo, nos dois grupos, a pressao arterial de 24 horas nao variou significativamente, assim como a elasticidade arterial (tonometria de aplanamento, HDI/PulseWave CR-2000), renina e aldosterona plasmaticos, e metanefrinas urinarias. Somente no grupo aerobio foi observado: diminuicao da resistencia insulinica (HOMA-IR, p = 0,036), diminuicao do cortisol plasmatico (p = 0,006), aumento na hiperemia reativa pos-isquemica (como indice de funcao endotelial, pletismografia de oclusao venosa, p = 0,009), e aumento no fluxo arterial basal de antebraco (pletismografia de oclusao venosa, p = 0,001)
Abstract:The aim of this prospective controlled randomized study was to investigate the effects of 3 months of a supervisioned aerobic training program on blood pressure profile, vascular function, plasma and urine hormones, and metabolic parameters, including HOMA-RI estimation. Sedentary non-medicated hypertensive subjects, aged 50 (9) years, were randomized to intervention/control groups on a 2/1 proportion. The sample size was estimated to provide 90% power at alpha = 0,05 (one-tailed) to detect a 3-mL/kg/min difference in peak oxygen consumption, with a standard deviation of 3 mL/kg/min, at the treadmill ergospyrometric test. After 3 months, the aerobic training (n =55, eletronic treadmill, 50-75% VO2max, 3-5 sessions/wk, 45 min/session) was effective to promote a 12% increase in VO2max (p = 0,0001), while no significant variation was observed in the control (n = 24, postural/isometric protocol) group. As indicated by urinary sodium, dietary sodium probably did not vary during the study. BMI (aerobic p = 0,001 and control p = 0,03) and total cholesterol (aerobic p = 0,002 and control p = 0,0498) decrease both in intervention and control groups, suggesting a voluntary modification in dietary habits during the study, even nutritional orientation was not given. In intervention and control groups, 24-hours blood pressure profile did not significantly modify, as well as arterial compliance (HDI/PulseWave CR-2000 radial tonometry), plasma renin, aldosterone, C-peptide, and urine metanephrines. At the end of this study, in the intervention but not in the control group, was observed: a decrease in insulin resistance (p = 0,036), a decrease in plasma cortisol (p = 0,006), an increase in postischaemic hyperaemia (as an index of endothelial function, p = 0,009), and an increase in basal muscle forearm blood flow (p = 0,001). A significant correlation was found between changes in insulin resistance and endothelial function (R = -0,51, p < 0,04)
