Diversos programas de treinamento com caminhada foram eficazes no restabelecimento do equilíbrio autonômico em seres humanos cardiopata, verificados a luz da variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC). Dessa forma, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito de oito semanas de caminhada, realizadas três vezes por semana, durante 30 a 50 minutos, de moderada intensidade (60 a 80% da frequência cardíaca máxima), sobre a função autonômica cardíaca de cães com EV, utilizando a VFC no domínio do tempo e da frequência como ferramenta. Para tanto, 20 cães com EV foram divididos em dois grupos: grupo controle - não treinado (GC, n=9) e grupo treinamento (GT, n=11), e avaliados nos momentos basal (T0), quatro semanas (T1) e oito semanas (T2). No domínio do tempo, a variável média rMSSD (raiz quadrada da média ao quadrado das diferenças sucessivas entre os intervalos NN) foi maior no GT em quatro (155,5+42,07) e oito semanas (199,8+83,54) em relação ao GC (91,17+35,79 e 88,17+57,51) (p<0,05). No domínio da frequência, a variável High Frequency (HF) foi a mais representativa, e apresentou aumento no GT (30950+25810) após quatro semanas quando comparado ao GC (19090+23210) (p<0,05) e dentro do grupo GT após oito semanas de treinamento (40300+33870) em relação à avaliação basal (29340+20950) (p<0,05). As demais variáveis não sofreram influências do programa de treinamento proposto. Esses resultados demonstram que o treinamento físico com a utilização de caminhadas foi capaz de alterar a VFC, indicando uma maior participação parassimpática em cães com EV. / Valvular endocardiosis is the most prevalent cardiopathy in canine specie. This disease is able to change autonomic balance, which is related to sudden death and worse prognostic, through chronic activation of sympathetic nervous system. Looking at heart rate variability, various walk training plans were efficient for the autonomic balance reestablishment in cardiophats people. In this way, this study focused on evaluate the effect of 8 weeks walking plan on cardiac autonomic function of dogs with valvular endocardiosis. These walking plans were consisted of moderated intensity walking (reaching from 60 to 80% of maximum heart rate) during 30 to 50 minutes, three times a week. Heart rate variability was analyzed by utilizing time and frequency domain as a tool. Thus, 20 dogs with valvular endocardiosis were divided into two groups: Control group, with no training (CG, n=9), and Training group (TG, n=11). They were evaluated at basal moment (T0), 4 weeks (T1), and 8 weeks (T2). At time domain, only the medium variable rMSSD (the root mean square of successive differences between the square NN intervals) was higher in the TG in four (155.5+42.07) and eight weeks (199.8+83.54) than CG (91.17+35.79 and 88.17+57.51) (p<0.05). At frequency domain, the high frequency variable was the most representative and after four weeks, it showed higher on TG (30950+25810) than CG (19090+23210) (p<0.05). After eight weeks, within TG there was higher frequency (40300+33870) when compared to basal evaluation (29340+20950) (p<0.05). The proposed training program did not affect the other variables. These results suggest that the physical training with utilization of walking plans were able to change the heart rate variability what indicated a higher parasimpathetic participation of dogs with valvular endocardiosis.

Two important health issues that can develop during young adulthood are related to mental health (e.g., depression) and physical health (e.g., cardiovascular disease). A common characteristic for both of these diseases is low-grade and chronic inflammation, but inflammation is negatively associated with physical activity (PA) and physical fitness. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate how PA and physical fitness were associated with biomarkers for depression and cardiovascular disease. Participants included 41 undergraduates who were considered to be "physical fit" (n = 21, Males = 15) or "physically unfit" (n = 20, Males = 17). They completed a battery of physical fitness assessments (e.g., 20m shuttle run, body fat percentage, handgrip strength, push-ups, blood pressure, and waist circumference), a self-report measure for depression and stress, and wore an accelerometer for one week. Afterwards, blood was drawn to estimate CVD risk using biomarkers for metabolic syndrome (i.e., triglycerides, glucose, and HDL) and inflammation (i.e., C-reactive protein [CRP], interleukin-6, interleukin-1b, and tumor necrosis factor alpha). The physically fit group had more moderate and vigorous PA, lower body fat percentage and handgrip strength scores, and performed better on the VO2max, curl-up, and plank tests compared to the physically unfit group. They also had a healthier profile for CVD (i.e., smaller waist circumference, lower triglycerides and glucose concentrations, higher HDL, and lower CRP) and lower self-reported depression and stress scores compared to the physically unfit group.

Supporting the physical activity of clients with serious mental illness in Prague Abstract The aim of this diploma thesis was how social workers perceive the possibilities of supporting regular physical activity of clients with serious mental illness. The research part was carried out using a questionnaire survey conducted among social services workers focused on the care of mental illness and operating in Prague. The study involved 37 respondents, among whom there was an equal representation of those who work within multidisciplinary teams (CDZ or facilities of this type, where they are provided together with social services and health services), as well as those who work in facilities providing only social services. Through a questionnaire survey, it was found that in multidisciplinary teams, where the health services component is also represented, more attention is paid to the support of appropriate regular physical activity in these types of facilities. Keywords: serious mental illness, social work, regular physical activity

Title: Activation therapy and burnout syndrom Objectives: The main aim of this thesis is to present the issue of burnout and the use of prevention, especially the activation of physical activity options and alternative therapies (eg, music therapy, dance therapy, drama therapy, art therapy). Methods: The research of available literature, and compilation and analysis of findings and obsevations were used in the empirical part of the thesis to design applications that could allow reduce the impact of burnout"disease". There has been used long-term observation of groups of workers - women from the government of social care for the disabled and underprivileged people in the region, district Trutnov. Results: The empirical part of the thesis(project), develops and evaluates the results of those methods (observation, questionnaire, questionnaire). Based on these results, I found that 52% of female respondents , administration officials from the region of Trutnov District syndrome are at risk of burnout. Keywords: risk factors, stress, prevention, alternative activation technics, regular physical activity

Ambulanspersonal (ambulanssjuksköterskor, specialistsjuksköterskor och ambulanssjukvårdare) förväntas klara av både fysiska och psykiska påfrestningar och samtidigt utföra en patientsäker vård. Framförallt de fysiska påfrestningarna kan skapa muskuloskeletala besvär hos ambulanspersonalen. Muskuloskeletala besvär kan leda till arbetsrelaterade förslitningsskador i nacke, skuldror, ländrygg och knän. Syftet med studien var att beskriva ambulanspersonalens upplevelse av regelbunden strukturerad fysisk aktivitet. Studien utfördes med kvalitativ design och en induktiv ansats där sex manliga deltagare intervjuades. Den genomförda innehållsanalysen resulterade i tre tydliga kategorier; självupplevd hälsovinst, säkrare omhändertagande och skadeförebyggande. Samtliga deltagare uppgav att de fick bättre ork, bättre sömn, bättre och snabbare återhämtning, mindre muskuloskeletala besvär och en positiv indirekt påverkan på patientsäkerheten. / Ambulance personnel (specialist nurses and paramedics) are expected to self-manage the risk of both physical and mental strain while performing safe patient care. It is mainly physical strain that can lead to musculoskeletal disorders among ambulance personnel. These musculoskeletal disorders can result in work-related repetitive strain injuries in the neck, shoulders, lower back and knees. The aim of the study was to investigate how regular structured physical activity can positively impact ambulance personnel. The study was conducted with qualitative design and with an inductive approach where six male informants were interviewed. The conducted analysis process resulted in three distinct categories; self-perceived health benefits, safer caretaking and injury prevention. All respondents reported that they experienced improved stamina, sleep and faster recovery. Also, they experienced less musculoskeletal problems than prior to undertaking regular physical activity. Furthermore, the informants felt that regular physical activity as such, had an indirect influence on patient safety.

L’objectif général de ce travail doctoral était d’analyser l’évolution circadienne du contrôle postural et de la locomotion chez des sujets atteints de la maladie d’Alzheimer (MA), de quantifier les effets de l’activité physique (AP) sur ces activités motrices fondamentales et d’étudier leurs éventuels transferts sur l’autonomie de ces sujets. Les principaux résultats montrent que le contrôle postural et la locomotion des patients atteints de la MA évoluent à différents moments de la journée et se détériorent dans la soirée, ce qui augmente leur risque de chute. Une analyse transversale du contrôle posturale indique que la MA perturbe le contrôle postural mais la participation à une AP régulière compense les effets perturbateurs de cette maladie et même davantage car le contrôle postural des sujets Alzheimer actifs est supérieur à celui des sujets sains du même âge. Une étude longitudinale de trente mois révèle que l’AP régulière contribuait à stabiliser l’autonomie dans les gestes de la vie quotidienne (ADL) et à améliorer les performances physiques chez des patients atteints de MA, malgré la progression de l'âge et de la maladie. Les améliorations des performances physiques ont été observées sur toute la durée du programme d’AP, sans présenter de phase de plateau habituellement rencontrée au bout de 6 mois d’entraînement. L'amélioration de l’ADL en fin de programme (seulement après 30 mois) souligne l’existence d'un délai de transfert pour tirer profit des capacités motrices récemment développées. Ces résultats sont encourageants pour les patients et les praticiens et mettent en évidence les avantages de la pratique d’AP à long terme par des sujets Alzheimer afin de maintenir leurs capacités motrices et leur autonomie dans les activités de la vie quotidienne. Dans le cadre d’une politique de santé publique volontariste, il conviendrait de définir l’AP régulière optimale dans le but de prévenir efficacement l’apparition et le développement de la MA. / The general objective of this doctoral work was to analyze the circadian evolution of the control postural and of the locomotion to reached subjects of the Alzheimer's disease (MY), to quantify the effects of physical activity (AP) on these fundamental driving activities and to study their possible transfers on the autonomy of these subjects. The main results show that the control postural and the locomotion of the patients reached of MY evolve in the various moments of the day and deteriorate in the evening, which increases their risk of fall. A transverse analysis of the control posturale indicates that MY disrupts the control postural but the participation in a regular AP compensate for the disruptive effects of this disease and even more because the control postural.

The deprivation of motor experiences may generate insufficient learning and development of fundamental motor skills, essential for the satisfactory implementation of activities of daily living, from anyone. Consequently, these conditions can affect your quality of life. Therefore, this research aims to develop, implement and evaluate a program of regular physical activity in physical education classes, for adults with intellectual disabilities, checking possible changes in the ability to walk, run, sit, stand, jump and balance held by these people. This research has described an institutional reality, configuring it as a research-action, involving the participation of adult learners with intellectual disabilities and their parents or guardians, an intern at the Physical Education course, in addition to the researcher. Results were obtained from interviews with those responsible for the students, the analysis of field notes, individual sheets of evaluation of activities, lesson plans and assessment tests of motor skills. The data have to see that there was significant improvement in student performance in relation to motor skills worked in firearms. However, much of this success, the program has provided noticeable improvement of emotional and relational skills of participating students, emphasizing the spirit of cooperation that blossomed between them from the proposed activities. Thus, one can assume that rises and settles from there, self-confidence, one of the requirements for independent living. It is recommended that a new thinking about the need for greater encouragement of the development and implementation of programs for people with disabilities, think about this, supported by the appropriation of the conditions that have to do during the execution of this research and that resulted in an intense and meaningful transformation for all involved in this research. / Muitas pessoas com deficiência intelectual foram privadas de vivências de atividade física, lazer, cultura, entre outros, durante toda a vida, pelo não oferecimento de programas e pelo processo histórico de repressão da sociedade. A privação de experiências motoras pode gerar aprendizagem e desenvolvimento insuficientes das habilidades motoras fundamentais, essenciais para a realização satisfatória de atividades da vida diária, de qualquer pessoa. Conseqüentemente, estas condições podem influenciar na sua qualidade de vida. Neste sentido, esta pesquisa teve por objetivo elaborar, aplicar e avaliar um programa de atividades físicas sistematizadas, nas aulas de Educação Física, voltado às pessoas adultas com deficiência intelectual, verificando as possíveis modificações nas habilidades de andar, correr, sentar-se, levantar-se, saltar e na capacidade de equilíbrio realizadas por estas pessoas. A pesquisa teve caráter descritivo de uma realidade institucional, configurando-se como uma investigação-ação, envolvendo a participação de alunos adultos com deficiência intelectual, seus pais e ou responsáveis, uma estagiária do curso de Educação Física, além da própria pesquisadora. Os resultados foram obtidos a partir da entrevista com os responsáveis pelos alunos, da análise do diário de campo, das fichas individuais de avaliação das atividades, dos planos de aula e testes de avaliação de habilidades motoras. Os dados deram a ver que houve sensível melhora no desempenho dos alunos em relação às habilidades motoras trabalhadas no PAFS. Porém, muito mais do que este sucesso, o programa propiciou visível melhoria das condições emocionais e relacionais dos alunos participantes, salientando o espírito de cooperação que desabrochou entre eles a partir das atividades propostas. Com isso, pode-se supor, que nasce e se sedimenta a partir daí, a auto-confiança, um dos requisitos necessários à vida independente. Recomenda-se um novo pensar sobre a necessidade de maior incentivo à elaboração e aplicação de programas destinados às pessoas com deficiências, pensar este, sustentado pela apropriação das condições que se deram a ver durante a execução desta pesquisa e que redundaram em uma intensa e significativa transformação para todos os envolvidos nesta pesquisa.

Nine young sedentary (mean = 22.67 ±2.45 years), sixteen young active (mean = 22.38 ±2.13 years), eight sedentary older (mean = 63.5 ±2.39 years) and eight older active (mean = 61 ±1.6 years) men were studied. Electrocardiogram was continuously recorded during 15 minutes (rest), 4 minutes (DBT, with breath rate at 5 to 6 cycles/minute) and 1 minute (recovery) in supine position. The HR (bpm) and the R-R intervals (RRi) (ms) were analyzed by time (RMSSD index) and frequency domain methods. The power spectral components were expressed as absolute (a) and normalized units (nu) at low (LF) and high (HF), and as the LF/HF. The HR and the RRi were analyzed by the respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) indices: expiration/inspiration ratio (E/I) and inspiration-expiration difference (&#8710;IE). The HR was lower in the activity groups than to the matched-age sedentary groups. The older sedentary group had lower heart rate variability (HRV), E/I and &#8710;IE than young ones. The older active group showed higher RMSSD and HF component than matched-age sedentary group (45.04 and 28.78 ms, 58,167 and 12,218 ms2/Hz, P<0.05; respectively). No differences were found between young and older active groups for RMSSD (61.71 and 45.04 ms, respectively) and HRV (TP:130,816 and 125,710, LFa:33,295 and 32,611, HFa:84,346 and 58,167, ms2/Hz, respectively) and DBT indices (E/I: 1.40 and 1.35, &#8710;IE: 23 and 18, respectively). The results show that aging associates with inactivity reduces the HRV. However, the regular physical activity increases the HRV, independent of age, suggesting attenuation the effects of the aging in the autonomic control of the heart rate. / O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos da idade e da atividade física regular sobre o controle autonômico da freqüência cardíaca (FC) durante o repouso e durante a manobra para acentuar a arritmia sinusal respiratória (MASR) em homens saudáveis. Participaram do presente estudo, 9 jovens sedentários (média= 22,67 ±2,45 anos), 16 jovens ativos (média= 22,38 ±2,13 anos), 8 idosos sedentários (média= 63,5 ±2,39 anos) e 8 idosos ativos (média= 61 ±1,6 anos). O traçado eletrocardiográfico foi registrado durante 15 minutos (repouso com respiração espontânea), 4 minutos (MASR, com freqüência respiratória mantida entre 5 a 6 ciclos/minuto) e 1 minuto de recuperação. A freqüência cardíaca (FC), em bpm, e os intervalos RR (iR-R), em ms, foram analisados pelo domínio do tempo (índice RMSSD) e pelo domínio da freqüência. Os componentes da potência espectral foram expressos em valores absolutos (a) e em unidades normalizadas (un) para a densidade total de potência (DTP), as bandas de baixa freqüência (BF), alta freqüência (AF) e razão BF/AF. A FC obtida durante a manobra MASR foi analisada a partir dos índices: razão expiração/inspiração dos iR-R (E/I) e de sua variação durante a inspiração-expiração (&#8710;IE). Os grupos ativos apresentaram valores inferiores de FC de repouso em comparação aos controles sedentários de mesma idade. O grupo idoso sedentário apresentou menor variabilidade da variabilidade da freqüência cardíaca (VFC), E/I e &#8710;IE que o grupo jovem sedentário. O grupo idoso ativo mostrou valores superiores de RMSSD e da banda de HF em relação ao grupo sedentário idoso (45,04 e 28,78 ms, 58.167 e 12.218 ms2/Hz, p<0,05; respectivamente). Diferenças estatísticas não foram encontradas entre o grupo jovem ativo e idoso ativo para o RMSSD (61,71 e 45,04 ms, respectivamente) e para a VFC (DTP: 130.816 e 125.710, LFa: 33.295 e 32.611, HFa: 84.346 e 58.167, ms2/Hz, respectivamente) e para os índices da ASR (E/I: 1,40 e 1,35, &#8710;IE: 23 e 18, respectivamente). Para os grupos sedentários foi observado correlação negativa entre os índices DTP, AFa, E/I e &#8710;IE e a idade (p<0,05), sendo que o mesmo não pode ser observado nos grupos ativos. Os resultados sugerem que o envelhecimento associado ao sedentarismo provoca reduções na VFC, representadas pela diminuição da atividade vagal sobre o coração, determinada tanto pela análise no domínio da freqüência como pelos índices da arritmia sinusal respiratória. Entretanto, a atividade física regular aumenta a VFC, independentemente da idade, e atenua as alterações, decorrentes do processo de envelhecimento, no controle autonômico da freqüência cardíaca.
