The aim of this study was to carry out an epidemiological analysis metabolic syndrome among Brazilian Army soldiers.Two thousand seven hundred and nineteen male soldiers the were evaluated from 2014 2016. Characteristics: age = 27.77 (± 8.59) years BMI 25.15 3.41) kg/m2. Blood tests anthropometric measures performed following criteria International Diabetes Federation Task Force on MS Epidemiology Prevention, 2009. based Odds ratio (OR) with confidence interval (CI).The prevalence found...

Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) has high metabolic activity and secretes a larger number of adipokines that are related to the inflammatory process. Quantifying VAT could estimate risk developing Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). This study was designed determine cut-off points assessed by DXA associated with MetS in military men. In total, 270 (37.5 ± 6.9 years) men from Brazilian Army (BA) participated study. Anthropometric measurements, assessment body composition dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA),...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is positively correlated to visceral adipose tissue (VAT) because it secretes substances responsible for metabolic changes. Brown (BAT) has been identified as a major player in regulating body metabolism and reducing MetS risk factors. This study aims analyze the association of factors with BAT activation evaluated by infrared thermography (IRT) adult men. A sample 118 men was composition, hemodynamics, biochemical tests skin temperature (Tskin) acquisition IRT....

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) helps control body weight and is inversely correlated with fat, but it unclear whether subcutaneous (SAT) or visceral (VAT) that related to BAT activation. The presented study aimed verify the relation of SAT VAT on activation through infrared thermography (IRT) cold stimulation in adult women. Forty women were evaluated composition skin temperature (Tskin) acquisition by IRT. Student's independent t-test, Pearson's correlation, two-way repeated measures ANOVA...

Following the increase in employment of women conflicts around world, federal government Brazil enacted a law which determines participation military. The aim this study was to analyze effect six months physical training (PT) on fitness young Brazilian Army cadets carry out assessments provided military training. Sixty-eight members (19.4 ± 1.0 years) from (BA), with BMI (23.61 2.17/21.81 2.26) respectively and divided two groups (men/women) participated study. PT conducted by Manual...

The accurate identification of perforator veins (PV) in asymptomatic that do not meet the criteria established by venous Doppler (VD) is a complex challenge, considered gold standard diagnosis, and operator-dependent. This study explored potential dual infrared–visual thermography (IRVT) to identify PV 99 patients aged 29 80 years. IRVT was conducted using high-definition hyperspectral visual–infrared sensor. temperature difference (ΔT) between maximum (Tmax) minimum (Tmin) within region...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Adipocyte volume (fat accumulation) in different parts of the body may play roles metabolism and appearance cardiovascular risk factors. Most studies indicate that regional distribution fat seems to be more important than excess adiposity per se. High levels physical activity are associated with lower total visceral levels. Military training is paramount importance for health performance soldiers Brazilian Army. In this context, evaluation will provide data on main...

Introdução: A revisão sistemática (RS) tem como principal característica verificar nas mais diversas áreas do conhecimento o que existe descrito na literatura sobre uma determinada temática sintetizando em um único trabalho. Sua elaboração requer prática, estudo e de algumas particularidades. Objetivo: Apresentar considerações metodológicas quanto ao planejamento condução estudos tipo RS, buscando identificar a organização sequência ordenada demais aspectos envolvidos seu desenvolvimento....

ABSTRACT Introduction: Since 1965, the Brazilian Army (BA) has participated in peacekeeping missions of United Nations (UN), sending large contingents to various parts world, such as Angola, Mozambique, East Timor and Haiti. To do so, military must be a minimum physical condition face any obstacles course action theater operations. Objective: verify effects Military Physical Training (MPT) on muscular strength upper limbs, anthropometric variables body composition personnel 24th UN mission...

Background.Highlights High-Intensity Long Interval Training (HILIT) and Sprint (SIT) to morpho functional improvement reduce effects of Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) the Syndrome (MS).Objective.This study aims verify HILIT SIT on physiological pathological markers MS liver health in adults submitted 12 weeks training.Methods.A randomized clinical trial was carried out with a design for two groups, Groups.The sample consisted 38 physical activity practitioners male aged...

ABSTRACT Introduction: The Brazilian Army (BA) considers Military Physical Training (MPT) essential for the development of physical conditioning and general health, including prevention chronic noncommunicable diseases (CNCDs), metabolic syndrome (MS) risk factors. evaluation body composition using dual-emission x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) quantifies visceral fat responsible several types disease. Objective: To verify behavior among composition, anthropometric, hemodynamic biochemical...

ABSTRACT Introduction It has been suggested that visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is associated with several non-communicable chronic diseases, but measuring it difficult. Thus, anthropometry could be used because easily applied in clinical practice. Objectives The present study aimed to develop and validate VAT estimation equations (Eq) military men. Methods sample consisted of 409 (mean age, 36.5 ± 6.7 years) men the Brazilian Army (BA) divided into an equation group (EG) ( n = 270; mean 37.0...
