Objectives To examine the affective responses during a single bout of low-volume HIIE in active and insufficiently men. Materials methods Fifty-eight men (aged 25.3 ± 3.6 years) volunteered to participate this study: i) (n = 29) ii) 29). Each subject undertook initial screening physical evaluation, maximal exercise test, iii) HIIE. The protocol consisted 10 x 60s work bouts at 90% treadmill velocity (MTV) interspersed with recovery 30% MTV. Affective (Feeling Scale, -5/+5), rating perceived...
Hypertension affects more than 40% of adults worldwide and is associated with stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, other cardiovascular diseases. It has also been shown to cause severe functional structural damage the brain, leading cognitive impairment dementia. Furthermore, it believed that these impairments affect mental ability maintain productivity at work, ultimately causing social economic problems. Because hypertension a chronic condition requires clinical treatment,...
Aim This study aimed to investigate the associations between upper‐ and lower‐limb muscle strength, mass, quality health‐related of life (HRQoL) among community‐dwelling older adults. Methods A cross‐sectional was conducted with 428 Brazilian adults aged 60 80 years. Upper‐ strength were evaluated through handgrip (HGS) test 30‐s chair stand test, respectively. Muscle mass assessed by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). using index (MQI). HRQoL...
Purpose: To compare the effects of a single high-intensity interval exercise session (HIIE) with moderate-intensity continuous (MICE) on inflammatory profile, IgA levels and lipid peroxidation in sedentary obese males. Methods: Ten men (age 28.5 ± 2.7 years; BMI 35.9 4.9 kg/m²; body fat 40.6 2.0%) performed three experimental sessions, separate days one week wash-out period between interventions, according to randomized order: 1) HIIE: 10 x 60 seconds at 90% HRmax alternated by active...
The aim of this study was to compare the salivary cortisol (sC) and immunoglobulin A (sIgA) responses simulated official Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) matches. Saliva samples were collected from 9 male BJJ athletes before (pre) after (post) 2 matches (SMs) (OMs) performed during different competitions. Salivary sIgA concentrations (absolute concentration [sIgAabs] secretion rate [sIgArate]) measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. For sC, there effect condition (SM vs. OM) (p < 0.05) a...
The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in salivary immunoglobulin A (SIgA), cortisol, and upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) their relationships with training loads (TLs) during a 4-week period intensive competitive season elite Brazilian futsal players. Twelve athletes (age: 19 ± 1 years; height: 180 4 cm; body mass: 73 7 kg) participated study. program included tactical, technical, specific conditioning strength training, competition matches. Training load quantified...
In order to examine whether environmental settings influence psychological and physiological responses of women with obesity during self-paced walking, 38 performed two exercise sessions (treadmill outdoors) for 30 min, where oxygen uptake, heart rate, ratings perceived exertion, affect, attentional focus, enjoyment, future intentions walk were analyzed. Physiological similar both sessions. However, outdoor exercise, participants displayed higher externally focused attention, positive lower...
To investigate the effects of a supervised aerobic exercise training intervention on health-related quality life (HRQL), cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiometabolic profile, and affective response in overweight/obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Twenty-seven inactive PCOS (body mass index, ≥ 25 kg·m; age 18 to 34 yr) were allocated into an group (n = 14) control 13). Progressive was performed three times per week (~150 min·wk) over 16 wk. Cardiorespiratory HRQL, profile...
Background: The independent associations of aerobic capacity and muscular strength on health-related quality life (HRQoL), when mutually adjusted, remain understudied, particularly in adolescents. Aim: To examine the association between capacity, muscle strength, HRQoL Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed, including 202 Brazilian Aerobic assessed using PACER test categorized into “healthy zone”, “needs improvement”, “at risk”. Muscle evaluated through field tests, 90º push-up, as...
Recently, post-exercise blood pressure (BP) has been considered a predictive tool to identify individuals who are responsive or not BP reductions with exercise training (i. e., "high" and "low responders"). This study aimed analyze the inter- intra-individual responsiveness following single bout of high-intensity interval (HIIE) continuous (CE) in normotensive men (n=14; 24.5±4.2 years). Mean change during 60 min period was analyzed minimal detectable (MDC) calculated classify subjects as...
To assess the acute effect of vigorous aerobic exercise on inhibitory control in adolescents. Controlled, randomized study with crossover design. Twenty pubertal individuals underwent two 30-minute sessions: (1) session performed between 65% and 75% heart rate reserve, divided into 5 min warm-up, 20 at target intensity cool down; (2) watching a cartoon. Before after sessions, computerized Stroop test–Testinpacs™ was applied to evaluate control. Reaction time (ms) errors (n) were recorded....
We compared in-task affect to HIIE and MICE, its relationship with time spent at different metabolic domains, perceived exertion (RPE), self-efficacy, enjoyment, future intention of exercise in overweight inactive men. Muscle damage soreness, inflammation were assessed post-exercise. Fifteen participants (28.9 ± 5.0 yr; 29.2 3.8 kg/m2) completed a (10 × 1 min 100% Vmax, recovery) MICE (20 55-59% VO2reserve) session. Affect, alertness, RPE, self-efficacy in-task, enjoyment post-task. At...
Identifying low skeletal muscle strength (SMS), mass (SMM) and quality (SMQ) is pivotal for diagnosing sarcopenia cases. Age-related declines in SMS, SMM, SMQ are dissimilar between the upper (UL) lower limbs (LL). Despite this, both UL LL measures have been used to assess SMM older adults. However, it not clear whether there agreement identify adults with SMQ.To investigate SMQ.Participants (n = 385; 66.1 ± 5.1 years; 75,4% females) performed handgrip test (HGS) 30-s chair stand (CST) UL-...
To compare the modulation of heart rate in a group volunteers with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to that healthy ovulatory women on basis R-R interval variability and analyze relationships between (HRV) other cardiovascular risk factors.In cross-sectional study, HRV anthropometric, biochemical hormonal parameters were measured 23 PCOS age-matched controls. Mean outcomes measures: indexes time (SDNN rMSSD) frequency domain (low frequency-LF high frequency-HF). Differences groups...
Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of death in population, and metabolic syndrome (MS) is a clinical condition significantly associated with increase morbidity mortality.To describe pattern combination risk factors related to diagnosis MS military personnel Brazilian Navy identify variables presence that population.Cross-sectional study involving 1,383 men (18-62 years) assigned organizations city Natal, state Rio Grande do Norte.
