In this study, the effects of aerobic exercise on upper airways and their defense mechanisms were investigated in athletes. The athletes ran two different environments: downtown streets city São Paulo (Street), more polluted, an urban forest (Forest), less polluted. Thirty-eight young healthy for 45 min d−1 randomly during five consecutive days, with interval 48 h before changing environment. Clinical parameters respiratory tract markers evaluated after first run Mondays (1 d) Fridays (5 d)....
Sports practice alters the homeostasis of athletes. To achieve homeostatic equilibrium, integrated action neuroendocrine and immune systems is necessary. Here we studied relation between cytokines, hormones mood states in marathon runners.A total 20 male recreational runners (mean age = 35.7 ± 9 years) sedentary individuals 35.5 7 were recruited. We compared serum levels growth hormone (GH), cortisol interleukins 8 10 amounts these two cytokines spontaneously produced by peripheral blood...
Although regular exercise-training improves immune/inflammatory status, the influence of air pollutants exposure during outdoor endurance training compared to a sedentary lifestyle has not yet been clarified. This study aimed compare responses in airways street runners and people after acute chronic particulate matter (PM) exposure. Forty volunteers (street (RUN, n = 20); (SED, 20)) were evaluated 1 (acute) 10 (chronic) weeks PM Cytokines [interferon (IFN)-γ, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,...
O atleta competitivo muitas vezes apresenta lesões musculoesqueléticas, algumas de natureza não traumática. Habitualmente, tais são atribuídas a fatores mecânicos. presente estudo teve como objetivo estudar um grupo atletas handebol e verificar uma possível ação imune-inflamatórios hormonais na gênese destas lesões. Procedeu-se à avaliação dos parâmetros laboratoriais, dosando-se concentração plasmática hormônios neurotransmissores produção in vitro citocinas prostaglandina E2. Os resultados...
Physical exercise promotes many health benefits. However, its effects are not well known in a polluted environment. Thus, this study aimed to compare upper airway inflammatory responses between street runners and sedentary individuals. Twenty-eight volunteers were recruited: (n = 14) individuals 14), who lived worked the same metropolitan area of São Paulo, Brazil. Particulate matter (PM) levels monitored ten weeks before winter (low PM levels) after beginning (high [PM10 (p < 0.0001)...
O exercício tem sido considerado um importante instrumento não farmacológico de controle da pressão arterial (PA). Nesse sentido, o presente estudo investigou os efeitos uma sessão alta intensidade Treinamento Intervalado Aeróbio corrida (TIA) sobre nível Hipotensão Pós-esforço (HPE) indivíduos com diferentes padrões condição física. Dezesseis homens jovens foram divididos em dois grupos: condicionamento aeróbio superior (GSup; n=8; VO2max=55,5ml·kg-1·min-1) e outro inferior (GInf;...
Diversos estudos procuram mensurar os efeitos do treinamento intervalado aeróbio de corrida (TI) na melhora da capacidade absorção oxigênio (VO2max), correlacionando-os com melhorias saúde (composição corporal) e no desempenho atlético (economia corrida), uma vez que diversas variáveis podem influenciar a resposta ao treinamento, como intensidade, volume, duração intervalo recuperação. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi revisar sistematicamente literatura, relacionando as principais...
