Diaphragmatic breathing (DB) is widely used in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) of patients with chronic obstructive disease (COPD), however it has been little studied the scientific literature. The Pilates (PB) method also area and literature COPD.To compare ventilatory parameters during DB PB COPD healthy adults.Fifteen (COPD group) fifteen (healthy performed three types respiration: natural (NB), DB, PB, respiratory pattern being analyzed by inductive plethysmography. time, volume,...
Abstract The aging process causes changes at all organic levels. Although metabolism, cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM), and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are widely studied as a function of age, they mainly in isolation, thus making it difficult to perceive their concomitant variations. This study aimed investigate the integrated that occur metabolome, CAM, CRF throughout apparently healthy individuals. subjects (n = 118) were divided into five groups according age (20–29, 30–39, 40–49,...
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) might improve peripheral muscle function and exercise capacity in severely disabled patients. This study evaluated the physiological impact of NIV on isokinetic concentric strength endurance lower limb muscles patients with severe COPD.This clinical trial tested COPD (n = 24) healthy subjects 18). Subjects underwent dynamometry tests while given either bi-level positive airway pressure (BV) or sham (SV), a randomized order 30 min rest prior to each...
Objective. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is accompanied by severe impairment of cardiac autonomous regulation (CAR). This study aimed to determine whether a short-term physiotherapy exercise protocol post-CABG, during inpatient rehabilitation (CR), might improve CAR.Design. Seventy-four patients eligible for CABG were recruited and randomised into group (EG) or usual care (UCG). EG underwent supervised consisting an early mobilisation with progressive exercises plus (respiratory...
Aging process is characterized by a progressive decline of several organic, physiological, and metabolic functions whose precise mechanism remains unclear. Metabolomics allows the identification metabolites may contribute to clarifying aging-regulated pathways. We aimed investigate aging-related serum changes using metabolomics approach. Fasting blood samples from 138 apparently healthy individuals (20−70 years old, 56% men) were analyzed Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (1H...
Non-invasive ventilation may improve autonomic modulation and ventilatory parameters in severely disabled patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate physiological influence acute treatment with different levels continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on balance heart respiratory responses patients stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) failure (CHF).A COPD group (n = 10), CHF 8) healthy subjects 10) were evaluated. participants randomized receive three CPAP same...
In Brief PURPOSE: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been used as an effective support to decrease the negative pulmonary effects of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. However, it is unknown whether CPAP can positively influence patients undergoing CABG during exercise. This study evaluated effectiveness on first day ambulation after in inpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR). METHODS: Fifty-four surgery were randomly assigned receive either CR and (CPG) or standard...
Objective: To verify adherence to and the applicability of a fall calendar as tracking monitoring tool among older people with history falls, identify which factors influenced their use in daily lives. Methods: This longitudinal study is derived from randomized clinical trial conducted remotely 2021 2022. Older falls included MAGIC Program (Brazil) took part study. After an initial assessment that collected sociodemographic, health, functional data, 16-week 12-month follow-ups on were...
The application of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) produces important hemodynamic alterations, which can influence breathing pattern (BP) and heart rate variability (HRV). aim this study was to evaluate the effects different levels CPAP on postoperative BP HRV after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery impact CABG these variables. Eighteen patients undergoing were evaluated postoperatively during spontaneous (SB) four applied in random order: sham (3 cmH2O), 5 cmH2O, 8...
BACKGROUND: Transcutaneous electrical diaphragmatic stimulation (TEDS) has been used to improve respiratory muscle strength in patients with weakness. However, this physical therapy resource not studied chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pattern during one session of TEDS COPD patients. METHOD: Fifteen participated for plethysmographic analysis and assessment peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) heart rate (HR). After session, were divided into two...
Upper limb exercises are frequently used in respiratory physiotherapy, with UL elevation and controlled inspiratory timing. However, the use of expiration during upper appears to be a strategy that could minimize action accessory muscles patients chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In this context, little is known about synchrony (UL) movements associated breathing. The aim study was investigate pattern disease different exercises. Fifteen participated study. Respiratory analysis by...
Summary Background Conventional coronary artery bypass grafting ( C ‐ CABG ) and off‐pump OPCAB surgery may produce different patients’ outcomes, including the extent of cardiac autonomic CA imbalance. The beneficial effects an exercise‐based inpatient programme on heart rate variability HRV for patients have already been demonstrated by our group. However, there are no studies about impact a rehabilitation CR behaviour after . aim this study is to compare influence both operative techniques...
Noninvasive positive pressure has been used to treat several diseases. However, the physiological response of cardiac autonomic system during bilevel airway (Bilevel) remains unclear. The aim this study was evaluate heart rate variability (HRV) Bilevel in young healthy subjects. Twenty men underwent 10-minute R-R interval recordings sham ventilation (SV), 8–15 cmH2O and 13–20 cmH2O. HRV analyzed by means parallel (mean R-Ri), standard deviation all R-Ri (SDNN), root mean square squares...
Purpose: To assess whether the same exercise-based inpatient program applied to patients with normal and reduced left ventricular function (LVF) evokes a similar cardiac autonomic response after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Method: Forty-four post-CABG, subgrouped according LVF [LVFN: n = 23; ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 55%] (LVFR: 21; LVEF 35–54%), were included. All initiated exercise protocol on post-operative day 1 (PO1), following whole progressive until discharge. Cardiac was...
Purpose: To investigate if cardiovascular and metabolic responses to the six-minute walk test (6MWT) incremental shuttle walking (ISWT) are in agreement with cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) determine both submaximal tests interchangeable obese eutrophic individuals.
Portable respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) systems have been validated for ventilatory assessment during resting conditions and incremental treadmill exercise. However, in clinical settings field-based exercise, intensity is usually constant submaximal. A demonstration of the ability RIP to detect measurements accurately would promote validate routine use portable devices as an alternative ergospirometry (ES), current gold standard technique measures.To investigate agreement...
