0.05). The slopes and intercepts of the regression lines relating HR and VO2, VE and VO2, VT and VE, and fb and VE were identical between positive and negative work except for a higher intercept for the VE and VO2 relationship during negative work. Thus, it was concluded that at a power output of 60 Watts, physiological responses such as VO2, HR and VE during positive and negative work were qualitatively similar. When changes in VT and fb were compared from baseline to steady-state for positive work, however, VT and fb both increased. In contrast, for negative work, VT increased minimally while relatively greater increases in fb were observed for pedalling frequencies of 35 and 55 rpm. The relatively greater effect of negative work on fb compared with positive work is not predicted from the known ventilatory responses to low intensity exercise. Further study is needed to elucidate the precise mechanism for this predominant increase in fb during negative work.

Full textThe aim was to contribute to the optimal use of the resting ECG by exploring, in middle-aged and elderly men, the development and regression of ECG abnormalities; the prognostic value of the ECG for cardiovascular disease compared to conventional risk factors; and the impact of age at baseline and follow-up time for prediction of cardiovascular disease.
It was based on the Uppsala Study of Adult Men cohort that was started in 1970. Participants were examined at ages 50, 70, 77, and 82, with annual updates on mortality and in-hospital morbidity using national registries.
The studies indicated that the prevalence of silent MI and frequency of regression of major Q/QS patterns may be higher than previously believed. Considering that persistent T wave abnormalities and ST segment depression carried twice as high a risk for future cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality as new or reverted abnormalities, the results suggested that serial electrocardiograms (ECG) would contribute to proper risk assessment. Also, the inclusion of ischemic ECG findings significantly increased the predictive power of the Framingham score at age 70 for CVD.
While hypertension and dyslipidemia were consistent long-term risk factors for myocardial infarction at ages 50 and 70, the length of follow-up period and age at baseline affected the predictive power of ECG abnormalities, fasting insulin, BMI, and smoking.
For stroke, midlife values for blood pressure and ECG abnormalities retained prognostic value over long follow-up periods, even though they improved when re-measured in elderly participants. ApoB/apoA1 ratio, driven by apoA1, was associated with stroke in elderly but not middle-aged men. Hyperinsulinemia and diabetes mellitus were more specifically associated with ischemic stroke than with any-cause stroke.
In summary, the resting ECG carried prognostic information beyond conventional risk factors. Even though the low prevalence of ECG abnormalities at the age of 50 calls into question the role of the ECG as a screening tool, the additional risk information it carries with it justifies its regular and repeated registration above the age of 50.

Resumo: A disfunção do sistema nervoso autonômico e o aumento de doenças crônico- degenerativas se manifestam junto ao processo de envelhecimento, levando à alterações da modulação autonômica cardíaca, e consequentemente da variabilidade de freqüência cardíaca. Com relação à resposta dos sistemas nervoso autônomo e cardiorrespiratório as respostas adaptativas são ainda menos esclarecedoras evidenciando-se os questionamentos quanto à carga ideal de treinamento para a aquisição de adaptações proporcionais aos protocolos de treinamento isolados. Adaptações autonômicas decorrentes do treinamento físico aeróbio já são bem estabelecidas pela literatura, como a ocorrência da bradicardia de repouso e melhorias nos índices de variabilidade da frequência cardíaca. Contudo, outros tipos de treinamento, como o treinamento concorrente, que associa o treinamento com pesos junto ao treinamento aeróbio, são questionados sobre as adaptações obtidas. Este trabalho objetivou avaliar as adaptações autonômicas em resposta ao treinamento concorrente em homens e mulheres entre 40 e 60 anos, com hábitos de vida não ativos. Os voluntários foram subdivididos em 4 grupos, sendo um de treinamento concorrente para homens (TCH), um de treinamento concorrente para mulheres (TCM), grupo sedentário homens (SH) e grupo sendentário mulheres (SM). Antes e após 16 semanas do protocolo experimental, os voluntários foram submetidos à avaliação dos componentes autonômicos cardiovasculares expressos pela variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (no domínio do tempo e da freqüência), obtidos e analisados por meio dos registros dos intervalos RR do eletrocardiograma coletados em repouso supino e em respiração espontânea. Para avaliação da aptidão cardiorrespiratória (VO2pico) foi realizado um protocolo de rampa, em esteira rolante, com incrementos crescentes de velocidade até a exaustão. A força muscular foi avaliada por meio do teste de uma repetição máxima (1-RM). Dentre os resultados obtidos, foi possível verificar que o programa de treinamento concorrente proposto parece não alterar e não interferir negativamente nas variáveis cardiovasculares de repouso. Para nenhum dos grupos estudados foi verificada redução da frequência cardíaca de repouso, da pressão arterial, nem alterações nas variáveis autonômicas cardíacas. Além disso, na avaliação cardiorrespiratória, o TCH e o TCM apresentaram melhora significativa para o VO2pico (TCH = pré: 31,63±5,37 e pós: 35,78±5,23ml/kg/min; TCM = pré 26,18±3,00 e pós: 28,41±2,34). Para o grupo TCM ganhos semelhantes foram observados quando o percentual de modificação foi calculado. Já o componente da força muscular houve melhora significativa para o grupo TCH nos três exercícios testados (supino pré: 68,88±5,79 e pós: 86,13±9,78 kg; leg press pré: 190,63±28,02 e pós: 315,25±67,74 kg; rosca direta pré: 36,75±3,06 e pós: 46,50±4,69 kg) e para o TCM em apenas dois exercícios testados (supino pré: 39,87±4,58 e pós: 46,75±6,62 kg; rosca direta pré: 23,50±3,81 e pós: 26,00±2,13 kg). Desta forma, o treinamento concorrente parece ser uma boa alternativa como metodologia de treinamento e ganhos associados nas várias capacidades físicas estudadas, porém não causou alterações na função cardiovascular. Investigações adicionais são necessárias para estabelecer o efeito dos treinamentos com pesos e concorrente nas variáveis cardiovasculares de repouso
Abstract: The autonomic nervous system dysfunction and the increase in chronic degenerative diseases are manifested by the aging process, leading to changes of the autonomic modulation cardiac, and therefore the heart rate variability. Regarding the response of the autonomic nervous system and cardiorespiratory adaptive responses are even less enlightening evidencing the questions regarding the optimal training load for the acquisition of proportional adjustments to the training protocols alone. Autonomic adjustments resulting from physical training are already well established in the literature, such as the occurrence of bradycardia at rest and improvement in indices of heart rate variability. However, other types of training, such as concurrent training, combining weight training with aerobic training, are asked about the changes obtained. This study aimed to evaluate the autonomic adaptations in response to concurrent training in men and women between 40 and 60 with non-active lifestyle. The volunteers were divided into four groups, one with concurrent training for men (TCH), one with concurrent training for women (TCM), group sedentary men (SH) and group sedentary women (SM). Before and after 16 weeks of the experimental protocol, subjects underwent evaluation of cardiovascular autonomic components expressed by heart rate variability (time domain and frequency), obtained and analyzed through the records of the electrocardiogram RR intervals collected at rest supine and breathing spontaneously. To evaluate the cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak) was performed a ramp protocol on a treadmill with increasing speed increments until exhaustion. Muscle strength was assessed by testing one repetition maximum (1-RM). Among the results, it was verified that the proposed concurrent training program do not seem to change and do not adversely affect the cardiovascular variables at rest. None of the groups was verified reduction in resting heart rate, blood pressure, or changes in autonomic variables. Moreover, in cardiorespiratory evaluation, TCH and TCM showed significant improvement for VO2peak (TCH = pre: 31,63 ± 5,37 and after: 35,78 ± 5,23ml/kg/min; TCM pré 26,18 = ± 3,00 and after: 28,41 ± 2,34ml/kg/min). For the group TCM similar gains were observed when the percentage change was calculated. Since the component of muscle strength significantly improved for the TCH arm in the three exercises tested (supine before: 68,88 ± 5,79 and after: 86,13 ± 9,78 kg, leg press before: 190,63 ± 2,28 and after: 315,25 ± 67,74kg; before arm curl : 36,75 ± 3,6 and after: 46,50 ± 4,69kg) and the TCM in just two exercise tested (supine before: 39,87 ± 4,58 and after: 46,75 ± 6,62 kg); before arm curl: 23,50 ±3,81 and after: 26,00 ± 2,13 kg .) Thus, concurrent training seems to be a good alternative training methodology and gains in the various physical capabilities assessed, but did not cause changes in cardiovascular function. Further investigations are needed to establish the effect of weight training and competing in cardiovascular variables at rest
