Purpose: To investigate whether 12 week inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has any impact on pulmonary function, maximum respiratory pressures and diaphragmatic mobility (DM) in morbidly obese subjects. Method: Thirty-one individuals were assessed. Volunteers randomised into two groups. The IMT group (n = 16) followed an protocol for weeks, with a load of 30% maximal pressure (PImax). control (CG) 15) the same but without load. Results: A total 14 subjects performed weeks. Significant...
OBJETIVO: Realizar uma revisão sistemática sobre os estudos observacionais que analisaram a relação entre parâmetros espirométricos e obesidade em crianças adolescentes. FONTES DE DADOS: Os dados foram selecionados sem restrição de idioma, utilizando-se as bases PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Lilacs SciELO, data inicial até dezembro 2010. descritores extraídos do Medical Subject Headings incluíram "respiratory function tests" "childhood obesity". SINTESE DOS Por meio da estratégia busca, 89 artigos...
The aim of this study was to assess the diaphragm kinetics, respiratory function, and serum dosage leptin inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 TNF-α) in three clinical groups: obese, asthmatic, healthy.This is a exploratory performed on 73 youths (12-24 years age, 42.5% male) allocated into obesity (OG, n=33), body mass index (BMIz-score) ≥ +2, asthmatic (AG, n=26) controlled mild asthmatics, classified by GINA, Healthy Control Group (CG, n=14). participants were subjected diaphragmatic ultrasound,...
Introduction: Obesity may decrease the strength of respiratory muscles as well pulmonary function. Objective: To analyze influence and function on quality life morbidly obese individuals. Methods: Twenty-eight individuals age ≥ 18 Body Mass Index 40kg/m² were assessed for maximal pressures, function, life. Results: The pressures 96.30% 100.21% expected levels. Regarding there changes in results peak expiratory flow (PEF) forced inspiratory vital capacity (FIVC), which below levels (92.32%...
