To analyze whether socioeconomic and clinical aspects the of healthy life habits are associated with quality persons living HIV/AIDS.
Introduction: Multilayer artificial neural networks (MLP's) have proven to be effective in discriminating morphological and biomechanical specificities of young elite athletes. However, they not yet verified the effectiveness MLP's identify interaction confounding factors, such as biological maturation (BM). BM influences so if MLPs considered this factor may group athletes by maturational rather than sport characteristics. Objective: Analyze neuromuscular discriminatory factors different...
Abstract Background Hand‐wrist radiography is the gold standard for assessment of skeletal age (SA) and assignment biological maturation (BM) status. However, its practical use in field questioned, prompting development anthropometric equations to estimate BM. there no consensus on reliability these relation hand‐wrist X‐rays. Objective To test BM estimated from predictive with results Methods One‐hundred forty‐four young athletes (38%‐males, 62%‐females; 12.3 ± 1.4 years) were recruited. SA...
Background: Researches are linking Biological Maturation (BM) with the performance of adolescent rowers from both genders. Despite this, there is still not enough information about influence BM advancement correlating to sports, aerobic and anaerobic in athletes at sport modality rowing. Objective: Investigate on sports power rowing athletes. Methods: A longitudinal observational study, developed over 3 years, a sample 52 adolescents, athletes, genders (61% male 39% female) mean age 16.0 ±...
Scientific studies have shown that the potential therapeutic efficacy of curcumin in several diseases is due to its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Consequently, supplementation seems be a valuable alternative for HIV-infected individuals. The aim this study evaluate influence on substrate oxidation at rest, body composition, lipid profile physically active people living with HIV/AIDS under antiretroviral therapy. This double-blind, crossover, randomized clinical trial...
BACKGROUND: Many different squatting techniques have been recommended, but few studies tried to identify how muscle groups contributed this movement in each technique. OBJECTIVE: To compare the electromyographic activation (EMG) of thigh, hip and trunk muscles during maximal volunt ary isometric contractions back front squat performed degrees knee flexion, while also comparing levels force produced ranges motion. METHODS: Ten healthy men (30.7 ± 7.9 years), regularly practicing strength...
To evaluate the influence of curcumin supplementation on glycemic profile, inflammatory markers, and oxidative stress in HIV-infected individuals under antiretroviral therapy. This double-blind, crossover, randomized clinical trial was composed 20 subjects arranged initially into experimental group (n = 10) placebo groups, receiving 1,000 mg curcumin/day or microcrystalline cellulose/day, respectively, during a 30-day period 12-day washout. Subsequently, groups were switched to follow...
Prolonged use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been associated with dyslipidemia and impaired energy substrate oxidation (SOxi). Curcumin is a natural bioactive compound, which interacts molecular targets holds important metabolic properties. The aim this study was to evaluate the effect curcumin supplementation on energetic metabolism an adult female HIV/AIDS under ART. intervention performed 500 mg/day for 27 days. Glycemic lipid profile SOxi at rest were evaluated before after...
The lipodystrophy syndrome is characterized by redistribution of body fat and disorders glicidic lipid metabolism. Although its etiology related to infection drug therapy, there little evidence regarding the nutritional disturbances on this association. This study aimed assess relationship between dietary intake use protease inhibitors (PIs) with anthropometric biochemical parameters in HIV positive patients. included 50 A questionnaire about socioeconomic status, lifestyle history was...
Introdução O estudo do consumo alimentar fornece informações específicas sobre a ingestão de energia e nutrientes, podendo estar associado com o conhecimento nutrição alimentação. Nesse contexto, entrada dos estudantes na universidade envolve uma tendência transição nutricional mudanças negativas no nível atividade física, resultando em alterações importantes sua composição corporal. Objetivo Analisar relação entre perfil antropométrico atletas universitários futebol. Métodos Participaram da...
To identify the contribution of anthropometric variables to predict maturational stage in young males.Cross-sectional study that enrolled 190 male subjects aged between eight and 18 years, randomly selected from public private schools Natal, Northeast Brazil. Thirty-two were measured following recommendations International Society for Advancement Kineanthropometry (ISAK). The assessment sexual maturation was based on observation two experienced experts, who identified pubertal development...
RESUMO Introdução: A terapia antirretroviral de alta atividade (HAART) está associada ao surgimento diversos efeitos adversos na população com HIV/Aids, dentre as quais, a lipodistrofia. Caracterizada pela reorganização anormal gordura pelo corpo, é um dos mais relevantes, envolvendo riscos cardiometabólicos e prejuízos imagem corporal. Objetivo: Analisar somatotipia corporal em pessoas vivendo HIV/AIDS. Métodos: amostra foi composta por cinco mulheres (47,8 ± 6,53 anos) uso da HAART...
Background: Cryotherapy brings benefits for muscle recovery and reduction of lactate thresholds in fighters; however, the effect cryotherapy on autonomous cardiac (ACR) wrestlers is not yet defined scientific literature. Objective: To analyze ACR after simulated combat exercise mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters. Methods: Crossover randomized clinical trial with a sample 17 MMA fighters (male, age >18 years). There was three rounds MMA; each round lasted 5-min, there were 60s between...
The relationship between anthropometric variables and maturation stages is important for a more detailed monitoring of pubertal development may provide suitable tool clinical diagnosis. aim this study was to analyze the predictive contribution using multivariate discri-minant analysis. A total 190 boys aged 8 18 years, from public private schools in Natal, Brazil, participated study. Thirty-two were measured evaluated objectively by observing pubic hair development. Measures central tendency...
