Dentre os tipos de treinamento, destaca-se o aeróbio intervalado (TAI) como benéfico na melhora dos indicadores da SMet, entretanto, novas abordagens no tocante às dinâmicas de cargas e nos métodos aplicados para esta população, merecem atenção. Objetivo: Analisar os efeitos do TAI periodizado sobre os parâmetros antropométricos, bioquímicos e clínicos em participantes sedentários portadores de síndrome metabólica. Métodos: O estudo consistiu de 31 participantes de ambos os sexos com idade entre 35 e 60 anos, sedentários, com diagnostico de SMet, os quais foram randomizados em dois grupos, um exposto ao TAI periodizado (n=18) e outro controle (n=12) sem intervenção. O grupo TAI periodizado foi submetido à periodização por 16 semanas, três vezes por semana, com intervalos de recuperação entre 24 e 72h totalizando 39 sessões de treino e nove sessões recuperativas. A dinâmica de carga foi dividida em etapas de acordo com três níveis de intensidade: leve, moderada e alta. Antes e após o treinamento foram realizadas avaliações para análise da estatura, impedância bioelétrica corporal, circunferências corporais por fita métrica, perfil lipídico e glicemia em jejum de 12 horas, pressão arterial e frequência cardíaca (FC) em repouso. Análise estatística: Para análise estatística foi utilizado 5% de significância. Foi realizada análise de variância com ajuste por sexo e idade (Ancova) e correlação de Sperman das variáveis antropométricas com bioquímicas e clínicas. Resultados: Embora sem efeitos sobre o diagnóstico de SMet, os resultados mostram que houve elevada relevância clínica do TAI periodizado na redução de massa corpórea, IMC e circunferências corporais, com efeito moderado sobre a pressão arterial diastólica (PAD). No grupo controle houve aumento moderado da glicemia e massa gorda, e elevado da FC. As demais variáveis não tiveram significância estatística. Conclusão: O TAI não foi suficiente para mudar o diagnóstico de SMet nos participantes, porém obteve elevado efeito na redução de massa corpórea, IMC e circunferências corporais, moderado na PAD e caráter de manutenção sobre a massa gorda, glicemia, colesterol total, LDL, VLDL e FC. / Introduction: Research shows the importance of exercise for the population as prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Among the types of training, there is aerobic interval (AIT) as beneficial in improving the MetS indicators, however, new approaches with regard to dynamic loads and methods applied to this population, deserve attention. Objective: To analyze the effects of periodized TAI on anthropometric, biochemical and clinical parameters in sedentary individuals with metabolic syndrome. Methods: The study consisted of 31 participants of both sexes aged between 35 and 60 years, sedentary, with diagnosis of MetS, which were randomized into two groups, one exposed to TAI periodized (n = 18) and a control (n = 12) without intervention. The periodized TAI group underwent periodization for 16 weeks, three times a week, with recovery intervals between 24 and 72 hours totaling 39 training sessions and nine recuperative sessions. The load dynamics was divided into stages according to three levels of intensity: mild, moderate and high. Before and after training evaluations were performed for analysis of height, body bioelectrical impedance, body circumferences by tape measure, lipid profile and fasting glucose 12 hours, blood pressure and heart rate (HR) at rest. Statistical analysis: Statistical analysis was performed using a 5% significance. We performed analysis of variance with adjustment for sex and age (ANCOVA) and Spearman correlation of anthropometric variables with clinical and biochemical. Results: Although no effect on the diagnosis of MetS, the results show that there was a high clinical relevance of TAI periodized in reducing body mass, BMI and body circumferences, with moderate effect on diastolic blood pressure (DBP). In the control group there was a moderate increase in blood glucose and fat mass, and high HR. The other variables were not statistically significant. Conclusion: TAI periodized was not enough to change the diagnosis of MetS in participating, but got high effect in reducing body mass, BMI and body, moderate in DBP and maintaining character on fat mass, glucose, total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL and FC.

No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivototal.pdf: 2424042 bytes, checksum: c596305ec2a921677ea1cd88f9d05421 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-03-27 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) affects approximately one third of individuals worldwide and is considered one of the diseases more common in the Brazilian population. Due to its high prevalence, hypertension is seen as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the control of blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive accompanied (1 year, 2 years and 3 years) by the Family Health Teams (FHS) of João Pessoa (JP) and Campina Grande (CG) during the period 2009-2011. This was an observational, retrospective population-based cohort. The BP control was assessed by comparing the mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure of hypertensive PAs grouped by follow-up time in years, by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). In another step the perception and knowledge of hypertensive (followed by three years in the city of JP) on the disease and treatment, using a qualitative approach based on the analysis of the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) was evaluated. In monitoring groups and the two counties there was a profile of hypertensive women, elderly, white or brown, low schooling, retired with uncontrolled blood pressure. No significant differences between the mean systolic and diastolic APs for hypertensive municipalities JP and CG was observed, as well as no differences were found between the means of monitoring groups in years. Statistical evidence (p-value 0.0062) that the follow-up time is related to blood pressure levels were found. The analyzes suggest that the longer follow-up by the user, the less discrepancy (pressure levels) between control and no control of the PA. In the qualitative phase was observed on reasonable knowledge of hypertensive disease, the treatment and control forms. Despite efforts by the government and health teams, it was found that the control of blood pressure levels, and as a consequence, the reduction of morbidity and mortality have not yet reached adequate levels. Alert to the need to review and change in the tracking system of hypertensive as recommended by the Ministry of Health transcends easier access to the drug, ie to seek an effective follow-up treatment, prevention and control of complications associated with SAH. / A hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) afeta aproximadamente um terço dos indivíduos em todo o mundo e é considerada uma das doenças mais presentes na população brasileira. Devido a sua alta prevalência, a HAS é vista como principal fator de risco para doenças cardiovasculares. O objetivo principal do estudo foi avaliar o controle da pressão arterial (PA) em hipertensos acompanhados (1 ano, 2 anos e 3 anos) pelas Equipes de Saúde da Família (ESFs) dos municípios de João Pessoa (JP) e Campina Grande (CG) durante o período de 2009 a 2011. Tratou-se de um estudo observacional, de coorte retrospectiva e de base populacional. O controle da PA foi avaliado por meio da comparação das médias das PAs sistólicas e diastólicas dos hipertensos agrupados por tempo de acompanhamento em anos, através da Análise de Variância (ANOVA) e Análise de Covariância (ANCOVA). Em outra etapa foi avaliada a percepção e o conhecimento dos hipertensos (acompanhados por três anos no município de JP) sobre a doença e o tratamento, utilizando-se da abordagem qualitativa a partir da análise do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC). Nos grupos de acompanhamento e para os dois municípios observou-se um perfil de hipertensos do sexo feminino, idosos, brancos ou pardos, de baixa escolaridade, aposentados, com níveis pressóricos não controlados. Observou-se que não existem diferenças significativas entre as médias das PAs sistólicas e diastólicas para os hipertensos dos municípios de JP e CG, como também não foram encontradas diferenças entre as médias dos grupos de acompanhamento em anos. Foram encontradas evidências estatísticas (p-valor 0,0062) de que o tempo de acompanhamento tem relação com os níveis pressóricos. As análises sugerem que quanto maior o tempo de acompanhamento pelo usuário, menor a discrepância (dos níveis pressóricos) entre o controle e não controle da PA. Na etapa qualitativa observou-se razoável conhecimento dos hipertensos sobre a doença, o tratamento e as formas de controle. Apesar dos esforços do governo e das equipes de saúde, verificou-se que o controle dos níveis pressóricos, e como consequência, a redução da morbimortalidade ainda não atingiram patamares adequados. Alerta-se para a necessidade de avaliação e alterações no sistema de acompanhamento dos hipertensos já que o preconizado pelo Ministério da Saúde transcende a facilitação do acesso ao medicamento, ou seja, buscar um acompanhamento efetivo do tratamento, prevenção e controle de complicações associadas a HAS.

Efeitos agudos e subagudos de um protocolo de exercíciode alta intensidade na função endotelial e hemodinâmica pulsátil em pacientes portadores de artrite reumatoide

Simon, Dionatan Machado January 2017 (has links)
Introdução: A atrite reumatoide (AR) é uma doença Inflamatória crônica de etiologia desconhecida que afeta principalmente as articulações. A evolução da doença está associada com a incapacidade funcional, aumentando o risco de doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) e disfunção endotelial e rigidez arterial. Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos de uma única sessão de exercício aeróbico de alta intensidade na função endotelial mediada pelo fluxo (DMF), avaliar a dor no pré exercício e após uma semana de intervenção através da escala visual analógica (EVA) e rigidez arterial em pacientes 26 com AR. Métodos: Estudo quase experimento, com 22 pacientes portadores de AR leve a moderada. Foram realizados teste ergoespirométrico, ecografia braquial para determinar a dilatação mediada pelo fluxo (DMF) e a avaliação da rigidez arterial por determinação da velocidade de onda de pulso (VOP), pré, pós e uma hora após a aplicação de um protocolo de treinamento intervalado de alta intensidade (TIAI). Resultados: A média de idade dos participantes é de 59,2 + 7,6 anos e há predominância do sexo feminino (91%). Apresentaram DAS28 de 4,1+ 1,0 (atividade moderada), e HAQ de 1+ 0,6 pontos (deficiência moderada). O VO2 Máximo encontrado foi de 21,19 + 3,89 ml/Kg/min. Os valores de DMF nos três momentos foram: basal com hiperemia reativa (10,59+0,47) e com nitroglicerina spray sublingual (12,66+0,89), no pós imediato (10,69+ 0,39) e com nitroglicerina (12,93+0,58), e 1 hora após (10,93+0,29) e com o medicamento (13,20+0,46), em relação a escala analógica visual de dor (EVA) observamos no basal uma dor de (3,45+0,80) e pós uma semana de intervenção (2,50+0,51). Conclusão: Concluímos que o TIAI com portadores de AR não foi significativo em relação às porcentagens de DMF, mas quando observamos outras medidas como a VOP, Pressão Arterial, Pressão de Pulso e o Índice de Aumentação, e os pacientes não apresentaram dor após uma semana de intervenção, sendo assim o exercício parece ser eficiente, sugerindo que pode ser uma estratégia útil para a prevenção de DCV em pacientes com AR. / Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that mainly affects the joints. The evolution of the disease is associated with functional disability, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness. Objective: To evaluate the effects of a single high-intensity aerobic exercise session on flow-mediated endothelial function (DMF), evaluate pain in pre-exercise and after one week of intervention using visual analogue scale (VAS) and arterial stiffness in patients with AR. Methods: Almost experimental study with 22 patients with mild to moderate RA. An ergospirometric test, brachial ultrasound was performed to determine the flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and the evaluation of arterial 53 stiffness by determination of the pulse wave velocity (VOP), pre, post and one hour after the application of an interval training protocol high intensity (TIAI). Resultados: A média de idade dos participantes é de 59.2 + 7.6 anos e há predominância do sexo feminino (91%). Apresentaram DAS28 de 4.1+ 1.0 (atividade moderada), e HAQ de 1+ 0.6 pontos (deficiência moderada). O VO2 Máximo encontrado foi de 21.19 + 3.89 ml/Kg/min. Os valores de DMF nos três momentos foram: basal com hiperemia reativa (10.59+0.47) e com nitroglicerina spray sublingual (12.66+0.89), no pós imediato (10.69+ 0.39) e com nitroglicerina (12.93+0.58), e 1 hora após (10.93+0.29) e com o medicamento (13.20+0.46), em relação a escala analógica visual de dor (EVA) observamos no basal uma dor de (3.45+0.80) e pós uma semana de intervenção (2.50+0.51). Conclusion: We conclude that the TIAI with RA patients was not significant in relation to DMF percentages, but when we observed other measures such as OPV, Blood Pressure, Pulse Pressure and Increasing Index, and patients did not present pain after one week the exercise appears to be efficient, suggesting that it may be a useful strategy for the prevention of CVD in patients with RA.

Modeling Co-Occurring Depression and Anxiety in Patients with an Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Dissertation

Tisminetzky, Mayra 01 June 2009 (has links)
The purpose of the current project is to illustrate the application of advanced statistical techniques to address research questions about depression and anxiety in patients with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The first study, using data from 100 patients who were randomized into a clinical trial of cognitive behavioral therapy, used bivariate mixed models to determine trajectories of depression and anxiety after an ACS, to examine the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on depression and anxiety, and to determine if anxiety and depression symptoms change at the same rate with CBT treatment as indicated by joint modeling of these two psychiatric disorders. The findings suggest that depression and anxiety are highly correlated and persistent in patients with an ACS both at baseline and over time. The intervention used in the present investigation does not appear to uncouple the association between anxiety and depression, suggesting that CBT has comparable effects on both psychiatric disorders. The second study used latent transition analysis to identify symptomatology profiles of depression, anxiety, and functional impairment in patients with an ACS, describe changes over time (two, three and six-month follow-up) in patient’s acute symptom profiles, and determine if patients receiving CBT showed signs of remission in depression, anxiety and impaired function earlier than patients that received usual care. A three-class model was selected to identify and describe these acute symptom profiles. One class was characterized by patients with both psychiatric disorders and impaired function, the second by patients with psychiatric disorders but normal function, and the third by patients with anxiety but without depression, and having normal function. There was moderate improvement in depression, anxiety and functional status for control patients, but this improvement was less evident than in the treatment group. Women showed a better response to CBT than men. The third study used latent class and latent transition analysis to determine symptom profiles of depression and anxiety in patients with an ACS using the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale; a secondary study goal was to examine the effects of age and gender on these symptom patterns. A two-class model was selected to describe depression and anxiety symptomatology profiles. Class I (76% of patients at baseline) was labeled as “severe depression and some anxiety” whereas Class II (24% of patients at baseline) was labeled as “mild depression and distress anxiety”. More than 70% of older patients continued to have severe depression and anxiety at follow-up and a large proportion of these patients who reported mild depression and anxiety at baseline showed worsening of symptoms at follow-up. The current study demonstrates that patients with depression and anxiety after an ACS can be identified on the basis of the symptoms that they present. This is particularly important to identifying individuals at potential risk for developing clinical complications after an ACS.
