Full textIntroduction: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the most common type of urinary incontinence (UI) in pregnant women and is known to have detrimental effects on the quality of life (QoL). Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is considered the first-line treatment and prevention of SUI in pregnant women. Since there are few randomized controlled trial studies (RCT) in this population, it is important to check the effectiveness of another randomized protocol of the PFMT. Objectives: This study aimed to verify the effects of PFMT between the Intervention Group (IG) and the Control Group (CG) and exploring the effects with and without PFMT, in pregnant women. Methods: Participated in this RCT, pregnant women (aged 21-44 years), having been applied two questionnaires: King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ's) and Broome Pelvic Muscle self-efficacy Scale. The amount of urine was assessed using the modified pad test (20 minutes) and the muscular strength of the Pelvic Floor Muscles (PFM) was measured with Oxford Grading Scale. There were two moments of assessment, T1: 1st time of evaluation (pre- delivery) and T2: 2nd time of evaluation (6 weeks after delivery). The IG was added an exercise plan with duration of six weeks, applicable in Preparation for childbirth classes and at home exercise plan for 9 weeks. Results:The loss of urine, quantified by the Pad test significantly reduced, 0.86±0.83at T1 to 0.50±0.67at T2 in IG (p= 0.021). The degree of muscle contraction, measured by the Oxford Grading Scale, increased significantly in IG (p<0.001) from 3.59±0.85 to 4.82 ± 0:39 and did not change significantly in the CG (p=0.609). The total KHQ and severity of symptoms were observed significant improvements in both groups (p <0.05). As for the scale of Broome - Total scale women's IG improved significantly (p = 0.001 and p = 0.031, respectively) while in CG women no significant change (p> 0.05). Conclusion: PFMT can prevent and treat SUI, and recommend strength training of the PFM during pregnancy, two times per week for at least 6-9 weeks, making it extremely relevant for clinical practice.
Enquadramento: A Incontinência Urinária de Esforço (SUI) é o tipo mais comum em mulheres grávidas, tendo implicações prejudiciais para a qualidade de vida. O treino dos músculos do pavimento pélvico (PFMT) é considerado um tratamento de primeira linha para a SUI. Uma vez existirem poucos estudos randomizados controlados (RCT) nesta população, é importante verificar a eficácia de mais um protocolo randomizado de PFMT. Objetivos: Este estudo teve como objetivos verificar os efeitos do treino dos músculos do pavimento pélvico entre o grupo de intervenção (IG) e o grupo controle (CG) e explorar os efeitos com e sem treino dos músculos do pavimento pélvico, em mulheres grávidas. Métodos: Participaram neste RCT, mulheres grávidas (com idades compreendidas entre os 21-44 anos), tendo sido aplicados dois questionários: King´s Health Questionnaire (KHQ’s) e Broome Pelvic Muscle Self-Efficacy Scale. A quantidade de urina foi avaliada através do pad-test modificado (20minutos) e a força muscular dos músculos do pavimento pélvico (PFM) foi medida com o Oxford Grading Scale. Houve dois momentos de avaliação, a 1ª avaliação (T1), no período pré-parto e a 2ª avaliação (T2), 6 semanas após o parto. Ao IG foi acrescentado um plano de exercícios com duração de 6 semanas, aplicável nas aulas de preparação para o parto, com supervisão e um plano de exercícios ao domicílio, durante 9 semanas, sem supervisão. Resultados: A perda de urina, quantificada pelo pad test, reduziu significativamente, de 0.86±0,83 em T1 para 0.50±0.67 em T2 no IG (p = 0.021). O grau de contração muscular, avaliado pelo Oxford Grading Scale, aumentou significativamente no IG (p <0.001) de 3.59±0,85 para 4.82±0.39 e não sofreu alterações significativas no GC (p=0.609). No KHQ total e severidade dos sintomas observaram-se melhorias significativas em ambos os grupos (p <0,05). Quanto à escala de Broome – Total, as mulheres do IG melhoraram significativamente (p=0.001 e p=0.031, respetivamente) e nas mulheres do CG não se verificaram nenhumas alterações significativas (p> 0,05). Conclusão: O PFMT pode prevenir e tratar a SUI, e recomenda-se o treino da força do PFM durante a gravidez, 2 vezes por semana durante pelo menos 6-9 semanas, tornando-se de extrema relevância para a prática clínica.

Full textI nuläget finns det olika träningsmaskiner som kan stödja träning av muskler där musklerna förlängs, även känt som excentrisk träning. Träningsmaskiner som idag används i stor utsträckning för att träna musklerna excentriskt använder ett svänghjul för att generera träningsmotstånd till användaren. När musklerna tränas excentriskt med en sådan maskin finns det en önskan att åstadkomma excentrisk överbelastning; detta uppnås när musklerna som tränas utsätts för en mycket hög belastning under den excentriska träningsfasen. För att uppnå detta måste användaren aktivera andra muskler som inte står i träningens fokus eller få hjälp av en annan person. I den här studien har en ny, smart, svänghjulsträningsmaskin utvecklats genom att implementera elmotor och sensorer som kan identifiera användarens träningsmönster och hjälpa till att uppnå önskvärd excentrisk överbelastning. Denna studie fokuserade på hur systemprestanda för en sådan träningsmaskin som interagerar med människor påverkades av olika grader av sensoråterkoppling. Med en ökad upplösning av sensorerna och en lägre samplingstid ökar kostnaden för systemet och det var därför av intresse att studera vilken grad av sensoråterkoppling som krävdes. Mer exakt utvärderar denna studie hur systemets prestanda förbättrades när sensorupplösningen var högre och vilken upplösning och samplingstid som krävdes för att systemet skulle fungera korrekt och säkert. Påverkan av brus och störningar på systemet utvärderades också. Studien genomfördes i simuleringsmiljö i Matlab och Simulink och verkliga tester och experiment utfördes på den befintliga svänghjulsträningsmaskinen. En inkrementell pulsgivare (incremental encoder) implementerades i systemet och dess upplösning, såväl som samplingstid, justerades i simuleringen för att testa olika kombinationer av dessa. Resultat visade att både upplösningen och samplingstiden påverkade systemets prestanda. En högre upplösning resulterade i ett mindre reglerfel till en viss del, men efter en viss ökad upplösning blev systemet instabilt om samplingstiden inte var tillräckligt liten. Brus och störningar hade en mindre inverkan på systemprestandan. Slutsatsen var att det bästa valet av pulsgivarupplösning var 0,0314 radianer med en samplingstid på 0,01 ms. Även lägre upplösning såsom 0,628 rad, 0,126 rad eller 0,0571 rad med en samplingstid på 0,1 ms kan tillåtas och bör betraktas som säkert. Systemet kan dock komma att inte fungera som önskat om dessa alternativ väljs, dock kan alternativen sänka kostnaden för systemet.

Full textCystic fibrosis is the most common genetic disorder in Caucasian populations. In affected patients,the CFTR protein is abnormal and the secretions carried to the outside or a hollow organ, do notcontain enough water. Not very fluid, they thicken and are difficult to evacuate, degrading thefunctioning of the organs concerned (pancreas, lungs, liver and bile ducts, sweat glands, sexualglands). To date, there is no cure for cystic fibrosis and care is organised according to thesymptomatological treatment of the disease, requiring multidisciplinary care where rehabilitationexercise and physical activities have a growing place.In this pathology, the work of the respiratory muscles is increased because of the bronchialabnormalities they face daily, which can lead to increased fatigue or dysfunction. In the earlystages of the disease, the strength of the respiratory muscles is unchanged or even increased and,when a decline is identified, all the clinical parameters are too.In this sense, the strength of the respiratory muscles does not seem to be a physiological markersufficiently sensitive to discrete changes and does not allow early detection of the decline inrespiratory muscle function. Moreover, evaluated in a punctual way, it does not allow tocharacterise the fatigability of the respiratory muscles.Since the strength and endurance characteristics of the respiratory muscles are likely to evolvedistinctly, it seems interesting to examine whether endurance would not be a more sensitivemarker than force to detect early the decline in respiratory function of these patients. as well astheir functional status. To date, there is no standard evaluation of the endurance of therespiratory muscles and the few studies in which this feature has been studied have a great dealof heterogeneity.In this context, our research objectives are to study the clinical characteristics and mechanisms ofexercise tolerance in cystic fibrosis patients in terms of respiratory muscle function and inparticular respiratory muscle endurance.In this work, we first investigated and compared the reproducibility of two separate assessmentmethods of respiratory muscle endurance from a group of healthy subjects. We thencharacterised the overall respiratory muscle function of cystic fibrosis patients to establish andcompare the clinical significance of endurance and strength of respiratory muscles with lungfunction, exercise tolerance, peripheral strength and quality of life. Finally, we studied the effectsof specific training of the respiratory muscles.We have shown that the endurance of the respiratory muscles of cystic fibrosis patients can bedecreased independently of the strength of the respiratory muscles. We also emphasize thatrespiratory muscle endurance is a relevant indicator for characterizing the overall exercisetolerance of these patients. However, the choice of the test used to measure endurance is crucialin order to be able to detect the potential changes in respiratory muscle function during cysticfibrosis. Moreover, we have shown that specific training of the respiratory muscles improves thestrength of the respiratory muscles, without being able to conclude on other significant effects interms of lung function, exercise tolerance and quality of life patients

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Muscle weakness is a problem for many young people with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Many studies have reported that selective strength-training programs can improve muscle strength. However, most of these studies are of single group design and do not adequately control for confounding variables. Objective: To determine the impact of a comprehensive strength training program targeting multiple muscle groups on adolescents with CP, using basic inexpensive free weights and resistance devices. Method: A randomised clinical trial evaluated the effects of an eight-week strength-training program on 31 independently ambulant adolescents with spastic CP, with or without walking aids, from Eros School (19 males, 12 females; mean age 16 years 1 month; range 13 - 18 years). The Kin-Com dynamometer, 3-D gait analysis, the Economy of Movement test and a questionnaire was used to evaluate selected muscle strength, the degree of crouch gait, free walking velocity and stride length, energy consumption during walking and perceptions of body image and functional competence. Twenty one subjects took part in the strength-training program and were compared with 10 control subjects. Results were analysed using repeated measures ANOVA and bootstrap analysis. Results: Compared with the control, significant improvement in the degree of crouch as measured by the sum of the ankle, knee and hip angles at midstance (p=0.05) and perceptions of body image (p=0.01) were noted for the experimental group. Significant trends were also noted for isometric knee extension muscle strength at 30° as well as for hip abduction at 10° and 20°. Walking efficiency, -velocity and stride length remained unchanged as well as perceptions of functional ability. Conclusion: A strength-training program targeting multiple muscle groups including upper and lower limbs as well as the trunk, can lead to changes in muscle strength and improve the degree of crouch gait with improved perception of body image. Successful participation in such a program at school may motivate children with CP to continue with home-based basic strength training. Strength training alone did not decrease oxygen consumption during walking and inclusion of aerobic exercise is recommended.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Spierswakheid is 'n probleem vir baie jong mense met serebrale verlamming (SV). Navorsing het getoon dat selektiewe versterkende oefenprogramme selektiewe spiere kan versterk, maar die meeste studies bestaan uit 'n enkel groep met onvoldoende beheer oor verstrengelde veranderlikes. Doel: Om die impak van 'n omvattende versterkende oefenprogram met basiese, goedkoop gewigte en weerstandsaparaat wat vele spiergroepe teiken, op adolesente met spastiese SV te evalueer. Metodologie: Die effekte van 'n agt weke lang versterkende oefenprogram is op 31 onafhanklik mobiel adolesente met spastiese SV, met of sonder loophulpmiddel, van Eros Skool deur middel van 'n ewekansige kliniese proef geevalueer (19 manlike, 12 vroulike deelnemers; gemiddelde ouderdom 16 jaar 1 maand; omvang 13 - 18 jaar). Die Kin-Com dinamometer, "3-D gait analysis", die "Economy of Movement" toets en 'n vraelys is gebruik om geselekteerde spiersterkte, die hoeveelheid knie fleksie gesien in die onderste ledemaat tydens loop, loopspoed en treelengte, energieverbruik tydens loop asook persepsies van liggaamsbeeld en funksionelevermoë te evalueer. Een en twintig het in die versterkende oefenprogram deelgeneem en is met 10 kontrole deelnemers vergelyk. Resultate is met behulp van herhaalde metings "ANOVA" en "bootstrap analysis" geanaliseer. Resultate: In vergelyking met die kontrole groep, het die experimentele groep betekenisvolle verbetering getoon in die hoeveelheid fleksie gesien in die ondersteledemaat (p=0.05) soos bereken deur die som van die enkel-, knie- en heuphoek in midstaan fase tydens loop, asook in liggaamspersepsie (p=0.01). Beduidenisvolle tendense is ook gesien by die experimentele groep vir isometriese knie ekstensie spiersterkte by 30° asook vir heup abduksie by 10° en 20°. Energieverbruik tydens loop asook loopspoed en treelengte was onveranderd asook persepsie van funksionele vermoë. Gevolgtrekking: 'n Versterkende oefenprogram wat verskeie spiergroepe teiken, insluitende die onderste en boonste ledemate asook die romp, kan lei tot In verbetering in spiersterkte, minder fleksie in die onderste ledemate tydens loop asook 'n verbetering in ligaamspersepsie. Suksesvolle deelname aan so 'n program op skool, mag kinders dalk motiveer om In basiese versterkende oefenprogram tuis voort te sit. Versterkende oefening alleen het geen vermindering in suurstofverbruik tydens loop veroorsaak en die insluit van aerobiese oefening word aanbeveel.

Resumo: Introdução: O treinamento dos músculos do assoalho pélvico (TMAP) é uma técnica amplamente utilizada pela fisioterapia com o objetivo de aumentar a força muscular, aumentar o fluxo sanguíneo local e a mobilidade pélvica, além de informar a mulher sobre a sua anatomia e melhorar a conscientização corporal. O treinamento com esse foco poderia influenciar de maneira positiva a função dos músculos do assoalho pélvico (MAP) e a função sexual feminina. Objetivo: Avaliar as funções muscular e sexual feminina pré e pós TMAP de mulheres em idade reprodutiva sem disfunção uroginecológica e/ou sexual. Métodos: Ensaio clínico incluindo 68 mulheres nulíparas em idade reprodutiva sem disfunção uroginecológica e/ou sexual. A função dos MAP foi mensurada pré e pós TMAP pelas pressões intravaginais, potencial eletromiográfico de superfície (sEMG) e palpação bidigital. A função sexual foi avaliada pré e pós TMAP pelo questionário Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) que enfatiza seis domínios (desejo, excitação, lubrificação, orgasmo, satisfação sexual e dor). O TMAP foi realizado em grupo, uma vez por semana durante 8 semanas, com 45 minutos de duração, usando 11 diferentes posições. Para cada posição foram solicitadas 5 contrações tônicas sustentadas por 6 segundos com igual tempo de relaxamento entre cada contração e 5 contrações fásicas, totalizando 110 contrações a cada sessão. As voluntárias foram orientadas a realizar em casa 30 contrações todos os dias da semana. Resultados: Foram observadas diferenças significativas ao compararmos os valores máximos das avaliações das pressões intravaginais pré e pós TMAP das contrações fásicas 41,7±13,7 vs. 47±14 (p=0,0023), tônicas de 10 segundos 42,7±13,8 vs. 47,7±15 (p=0,0085) e tônicas de 60 segundos 42,1±13 vs. 47,5±14,5 (p=0,0013) respectivamente. Também foram observadas diferenças significativas nos valores máximos do sEMG das avaliações pré e pós TMAP das contrações fásicas 27,7±11,2 vs. 31,3±12,6 (p=0,0009), tônicas de 10 segundos 27,7±10,9 vs. 31,5±13,6 (p=0,0017), tônicas de 60 segundos 28,6±11,8 vs. 31,1±13 (p=0,0232) e tempo de contração em segundos 41,7±22,1 vs. 49,3±27,7 (p=0,0252) respectivamente. Foram encontradas diferenças significativas pré e pós TMAP no escore total do FSFI 29,8±3,7 vs. 31,9±2,7 (p<0,0001) e nos domínios desejo 4,4±0,9 vs. 4,7±0,8 (p=0,0076), excitação 4,8±0,8 vs. 5,2±0,5 (p=0,0001), lubrificação 5,2±0,8 vs. 5,5±0,5 (p=0,0140) e orgasmo 4,5±1,4 vs. 5,3±0,9 (p<0,0001) respectivamente. Conclusão: O TMAP aumenta a função dos MAP e melhora a função sexual de mulheres em idade reprodutiva sem disfunção uroginecológica e/ou sexual
Abstract: Introduction: Pelvic floor muscles training (PFMT) is a technique widely used for physical therapy in order to increase muscle strength, increase local blood flow and pelvic mobility and inform women about their anatomy and improve awareness body. Training with this focus could positively influence the function of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) and female sexual function. Objective: To evaluate the muscular function and female sexual function pre and post PFMT of women of reproductive age without urogynecologic and/or sexual dysfunction. Methods: A clinical trial including 68 nulliparous women of reproductive age without urogynecologic and/or sexual dysfunction. The function of the PFM was measured before and after the PFMT intravaginal pressures, potential surface electromyography (sEMG) and palpation bidigital. Sexual function was assessed before and after the PFMT the survey Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) that emphasizes six domains (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, sexual satisfaction, and pain). The PMAT group was performed once a week for 8 weeks, with 45 minutes using 11 different positions. For each position were requested 5 tonic contractions sustained for 6 seconds with equal relaxation time between contractions and 5 phasic contractions, totaling 110 contractions each session. The volunteers were instructed to perform 30 contractions at home every day of the week. Results: Significant differences were observed when comparing the maximum rating of intravaginal pressure pre and post PFMT of phasic contractions 41.7±13.7 vs. 47±14 (p=0.0023), tonic contractions of 10 seconds 42.7±13.8 vs. 47.7±15 (p=0.0085) and tonic of 60 seconds 42.1±13 vs. 47.5±14.5 (p=0.0013) respectively. There were also significant differences in the maximum values of sEMG pre and post PFMT of phasic contractions 27.7±11.2 vs. 31.3±12.6 (p=0.0009), tonic contractions of 10 seconds 27.7±10.9 vs. 31.5±13.6 (p=0.0017), tonics of 60 seconds 28.6±11.8 vs. 31.1±13 (p=0.0232) and contraction time in seconds 41.7±22.1 vs. 49.3±27.7 (p=0.0252), respectively. There were significant differences pre and post PFMT in total score FSFI of 29.8±3.7 vs. 31.9±2.7 (p<0.0001) and in those areas desire 4.4±0.9 vs. 4.7±0.8 (p=0.0076), arousal 4.8±0.8 vs. 5.2±0.5 (p=0.0001), lubrication 5.2±0.8 vs. 5.5±0.5 (p=0.0140) and orgasm 4.5±1.4 vs. 5.3±0.9 (p<0.0001) respectively. Conclusion: The PFMT increases the function of PFM and improves sexual function in women of reproductive age without urogynecologic and/or sexual dysfunction

Full textDespite a growing interest into the mechanisms of the repeated bout effect, little is known about the consequences of chronic eccentrically biased training and the possible advantageous such training may offer to athletes as well as patients with muscle-debilitating disease. This study investigated the role of satellite cells in the muscle adaptation in response to either downhill or uphill high intensity training (HIT). Welltrained endurance runners were divided into two training groups matched for training volume and 10 km running times (n = 6, uphill training, UP; n = 6, downhill training, DH) and subjects in both groups completed 10 HIT sessions over a period of 4 weeks. Running performance was tested before and after the training intervention by a 10 km road race and peak treadmill speed (PTS) in horizontal and inclined (+5%) laboratory incremental tests to exhaustion. Skeletal muscle biopsies were sampled at baseline, after 2 HIT sessions, and after 4 weeks of HIT. Muscle was analysed immunohistochemically for satellite cell frequency as identified by CD56 and M-cadherin (Mcad) expression. Myogenin protein contents of muscle homogenates were determined by western blotting. Myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoform proportions and mean fibre crosssectional area was measured. During the HIT intervention, UP exercised at a higher percentage of their HRmax than DH (mean ± SD, 97 ± 1 vs. 92 ± 3 %HRmax, p < 0.005), but at a similar rate of perceived exertion (RPE). DH completed more intervals per session and covered greater distance per session than their UP counterparts. Both training groups increased their training intensity but decreased their training volume during the 4 weeks of HIT. The combined group of 12 athletes improved their PTSgradient (mean ± SD, 16.7 ± 0.8 vs. 17.3 ± 1.0 km/h, p < 0.05). No significant differences between groups were found for PTS, VO2max or 10 km performance. Satellite cell frequency in this cohort of trained runners (48.9 ± 10.3 km/week) at baseline was similar to healthy young males (CD56+ cells/fibre, 0.19 ± 0.10). Satellite cell frequency increased significantly in DH after 4 weeks (Mcad, 123%; CD56, 138%) and non-significantly in UP (Mcad, 45%, CD56, 39%). No significant differences were found after two training sessions or at any time between groups. Mcad and CD56 expression correlated well (r = 0.95, p < 0.0001). Muscle myogenin content increased for both groups (UP: 56%; DH: 60%) after 4 weeks. No notable changes were seen after two training sessions. However, myogenin levels 2 days after session 1 correlated well (r= 0.99, p<0.005) with muscle pain experienced on the same day, as measured by the visual analogue scale. No changes were seen in the MyHC proportions or the fibre cross-sectional area after the training intervention. It was concluded that the training intervention was too short to induce changes in MyHC distribution or fibre area. Is seems likely that satellite cell proliferation was initiated as an early response to DOMS, but the response was maintained for 4 weeks. However, due to the lack of change in fibre morphology and myonuclear number, the role of satellite cell proliferation in fibre type transformation or muscle hypertrophy could not be established. Similarly, various possible roles for increased myogenin protein are offered, but since the origin of myogenin expression (satellite cells vs. myonuclei) was not determined, no definite conclusion regarding the precise function can be made. In conclusion, this study is the first to definitively indicate satellite cell proliferation in well-trained endurance runners in response to a change in training, including specifically downhill HIT. This response was early and sustained. This study asks several questions about the role of satellite cells during muscle adaptation to repetitive downhill training, and lays a foundation for further research into this unexplored field.

Full textIntroduction: Muscle strength measurement is crucial in rehabilitation Planning and results assessment. Isokinetic dynamometry is a reliable and valid strength measurement tool. However, its validity depends on the veracity of the measurements. Among other factors, patient collaboration during test performance is crucial. Thus an estimate of collaboration is highly desirable. The DEC (High and low velocity eccentric to concentric ratios difference) has been proven to be an efficient tool to assess maximility of effort in a number of joints and actions. However, its usefulness in real patient shoulder external rotator effort measurement has not been previously assessed. Hypothesis: The DEC is a valid parameter to assess the collaboration level in work injury patient during shoulder external rotator isokinetic tests. Objectives: to analyze DEC behavior and usefulness in maximality of effort assessment in a sample of shoulder work injury patient undergoing rehabilitation. Methods: Observational study of 74 shoulder injury patients evaluated through shoulder external rotator isokinetic tests. Concentric and eccentric performances of injured and uninjured sides were recorded at 30 and 120º/s. Results: Fifty-two patients had their injured side DEC values within the normal range and were thus labeled as maximal performers. Ten patients had higher than cutoff DEC values, indicating submaximal effort whereas 12 patients had exceedingly low DEC values. Gender comparison showed a significantly different proportion of maximal performers. Strength deficits registered in patients demonstrating maximal performance correlated with the final outcome. The findings support the application of the DEC for determination of the extent of weakness of shoulder external rotators in male patients. Conclusion: In terms of shoulder external rotators status in male worker injury, the results support the application of isokinetic tests both in the clinical and medico legal sense. However, the gender discrepancy warrants further research.

Full textPelvic organ prolapse (POP) has a high prevalence in the female population, causing a great negative social and economic impact. It is estimated that about 11.1% of women at age 80 are eligible for POP repair surgery or urinary incontinence. There is evidence that conservative treatment, specifically pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), is effective in reducing POP symptoms. However, the literature is scarce and controversial regarding the effectiveness in associating PFMT with a surgical procedure when there is a surgical indication. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy in associating PFMT to a POP surgery in relation to its symptoms. The secondary purposes were to verify the capacity of pelvic floor muscles\' contraction (PFM), the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) of the PFM, perception of improvement, quality of life and sexual function. A randomised controlled trial with 96 women with a medical indication for POP repair surgery in stage II, III and IV was conducted in two groups: 48 in the TMAP and 48 in control group. TMAP was performed in four supervised preoperative sessions and seven postoperative sessions. All volunteers were evaluated in three moments: 15 days before surgery and 40 and 90 days after surgery. The primary outcome was assessed using the \"Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory\" (PFDI-20) and the secondary endpoints using the \"Modified Oxford Scale\", perineometry, \"Patient Global Impression of Improvement\" (PGI-I), \"Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire\" (PFIQ-7) and \"Sexual Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence /Pelvic Organ Prolapse\" (PSIQ- 12) and. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics using frequencies and percentages. Student\'s test was used to verify the difference between the means in the groups. The chi-square test was performed to test the hypothesis whether there was a difference between the proportions of responses in both groups. A mixed linear regression model was used to verify the effect of time and groups on outcomes. The level of significance was set at p<=0.05. Both groups presented improvement in the symptomatology after the follow-up. However, there was no significant difference between them (4.3 95% CI -14.4 to 23.2, p=0.65). Both groups showed improvement in PFM contraction. After 3 months, the difference between groups in relation to MVC was -0.8 (95% CI -8.1 to 6.4, p=0.81), in relation to the perception of improvement was 0.4 (95% CI -0.09 to 0.8, p = 0.01), in relation to the quality of life was 2.7 (95%CI, p=0.81) and in relation to sexual function -1.6 (95% CI -7.6 to 4.4, p = 0.59) and This study did not demonstrated the additional benefit of PFMT on POP symptoms, PFM contraction, MVC, quality of life and sexual function. However, the group that received TMAP showed a greater perception of improvement

Full textO diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) é caracterizada pela resistência à insulina que pode ser combatida pelo exercício físico. O objetivo deste estudo foi o de avaliar os efeitos do exercício resistido agudo de alta intensidade nos marcadores de dano muscular, inflamação e no perfil hormonal no DM2. Foram voluntários 40 homens, sendo 20 diabéticos (D) e 20 não-diabéticos (N/D) que foram divididos em quatro grupos com 10 indivíduos cada que realizaram o exercício a 60% e 75% da carga máxima (N/D-60, D-60, N/D-75, D-75). Os exercícios utilizados foram: supino reto, tríceps no pulley, remada no aparelho, rosca direta com barra, elevação lateral com halteres e agachamento com barra. Sangue foi coletado e foram dosadas os níveis de creatina quinase (CK), lactato desidrogenase (LDH), proteína C reativa (CRP), testosterona, cortisol e glicemia antes e depois do protocolo de exercícios, sendo também aferida a pressão arterial para avaliar a hipotensão pós exercício (HPE) e a freqüência cardíaca (FC). Utilizou-se Shapiro-Wilk para checar a normalidade da amostra e o teste t de Student pareado, o delta absoluto, a correlação de Spearman, ANOVA one way e pós-teste de BonFerroni para a análise estatística realizada através do programa prisma 5.0. Foi estabelecido como significativos valores de p<0,05. Houve diferença significativa para CK e LDH entre o pré e pós protocolo experimental apenas nos grupos que realizaram ER intenso (p<0,05). Quando avaliada a variação da CK intra e inter grupos obteve-se significância quando comparados N/D-60 com N/D-75 e D-60 com D-75 (p<0,05). Já na LDH só houve significância quando comparados D-60 com D-75 (p<0,05). A testosterona apresentou diferença significativa entre o antes e depois ER em N/D-75, D-60 e D-75 (p<0,05). Para o cortisol houve uma redução significativa para todos os grupos (p<0,05). Existiu uma redução da glicemia mostrando uma significativa diferença entre o pré e pós protocolo experimental nos grupos N/D-60, N/D-75 e D-75 (p<0,05). Quando avaliado o delta absoluto da relação intra e inter grupos foi obtido na testosterona significância quando comparado o grupo D-60 com D-75 (p<0,05); no cortisol quando comparado intra grupos N/D-60 com N/D-75 e D-60 com D-75 (p<0,05) e inter grupos N/D-75 e D-75 (p<0,05); na razão T/C houve diferença significativa intra grupos quando comparados N/D-60 com N/D-75 e D60 com D-75 (p<0,05) e na glicemia foi constatada diferença significativa na comparação entre D-60 com D-75 (p<0,05), sendo também mostrada diferença significativa entre N/D-60 com D-60 (p<0,05). A testosterona e a glicemia se correlacionaram no grupo D-75 (r = -0,7447 e p = 0,0135). O ER agudo de alta intensidade ocasiona elevação sérica da CK e da LDH e não promove aumento da CRP que diagnostique inflamação que comprometa a saúde do indivíduo com DM2. O aumento da razão entre a testosterona e o cortisol é favorecida e há redução dos valores da glicemia nos indivíduos com DM2. HPE foi induzida no ER moderado e intenso e a redução da FC apenas no intenso quando comparado o pré e pós protocolo nos diabéticos (p<0,05). Logo, o ER intenso promove excelentes respostas metabólicas e hemodinâmicas sobre os marcadores de dano muscular, inflamatório e no perfil hormonal em indivíduos com DM2.

Abstract Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) are key regulatory molecules in the degradation of extracellular matrix constituent in wide range of normal and pathological processes, such as organ morphogenesis, tissue remodeling, inflammatory and tumor development. Physical training can be beneficial in increased muscle mass and strength. The matrix metalloproteases-2 (MMP-2) are thought to play a central role in these processes. The aims of this study were to investigate the relationship between exercise train and expression of MMP-2 with exercise related muscle (cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle). Male mice (8 weeks old) were random assigned to Control groups: (1) Sedentary control (NEC); (2) Sedentary control with low intensity exercise training (15 m/min) (LEC); (3) Sedentary control with medium intensity exercise training (25 m/min) (MEC). Exhaustive groups: (4) Exhaustive (NEE); (5) Low intensity exercise training with exhaustive exercise (LEE); (6) Medium intensity exercise training with exhaustive exercise (MEE). After four weeks, the mice in three C groups (sedentary control) were killed immediately, but the mice in the three E groups (exhaustive) were killed immediately after exhaustive exercising. Exercise capability, blood lactate, blood glucose were be measure; MMP-2 activities were assessed in plasma. In the muscles biopsies, measurements of protein expression levels of MMP-2, p-P38 Mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-P38 MAPK), Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6); Nitrogen oxide (NO) concentration were performed. Results indicate four weeks medium intensity exercise training can enhance exercise capability and decreased onset time of exhaustion blood lactate production. Both cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle, exercise training increased MMP-2 expression, but p-P38 MAPK, TNF-α, IL-6 and NO without difference with NEC. On onset time of exhaustion, medium intensity exercise training (MEE) downregulation TNF-α, p-P38 MAPK expression and decreased MMP-2 levels. Out data suggest the medium intensity exercise trained can decrease blood lactate and prolong the onset time of exhaustion is correction to decrease the expression of TNF-α and MMP-2 in exhaustive muscles.

Life style has much changed with human development. People value the quick, convenient, and comfortable pace of daily life. Sat mode of life is increasing and the chance of motion is reducing as result of the technology for life changes with each passing day. The overweight and fatness rate of Taiwanese is up to 38.3% that includes male rate 45.9% and female rate 33.1% according to the examine about national nutrition and health in 2013 from Ministry of Health and Welfare. It is the champion at cities in Asia and has the title of “The most fat country in Asia”. The domestic children fatness rate is up to No.16 in the whole world. This research is about the problem of domestic children fatness and increasing children’s ability in exercise. In this research, the 3rd graders of one elementary school are subjects, the experimental course in rope skipping and core muscles exercise training is the main part, and the students are divided into three groups randomly: group about rope skipping, group about core muscles training, and group about both of rope skipping and core muscles training, and contrast with the impacts of three training modes. The major finding of the research is as follows: for normal children, group about both of rope skipping and core muscles training is better than other two for increasing children’s ability in exercise. My hope is that rope skipping and core muscles training can be arranged at breaks during classes and physical course because of this research, and conform to the polybasic physical course, increase children’s motive of learning, and make children have good postures of exercise by this research.

Full textBackground: in the last decades have been developed training programmes of pelvic floor muscles (PFM) to prevent disfunctions in the women’s daily activities. The PFM have as function the support and positioning of the pelvic organs. Pelvic floor’s disfunctions affect women in their daily activities. Nowadays have been developed training programmes of PFM to prevent these disfunctions. Objective: evaluate the effects of PelvicSport training protocol of PFM in adult women. Methods: eleven adult women, with a mean age of 29.45 ± 1.79 years, were randomly distributed in an experimental group (EG) (n=6) which realized the PelvicSport training protocol of PFM, during eight weeks, and in a control group (CG) (n=5), which didn’t realize any kind of intervention during the same period. Before the beginning of the study and eight weeks after, both groups were evaluated about: the capacity of voluntary contraction of PFM by vaginal palpitation through the Modified Oxford Grading Scale Test and Manometry; the quantification of urine loss through the Pad-test; psychological variables through King’s Health Questionnaire and through Broome Self-Efficacy Scale; sociodemographic and anthropometric variables. Results: we found that the experimental group increased the capacity of maximum voluntary contraction and the vaginal resting pressure (p=0,042; p=0,043, respectively). In the Modified Oxford Grading Scale Test’s reevaluation was found statistically significative differences between control group and experimental group (p=0,049). Conclusion: the PelvicSport Training Protocol of PFM reveals positive effects related to the increase of the capacity of maximum voluntary contraction of PFM in adult women. We suggest randomized controlled trials in adult women.
