25. Exercise training program in children with lower-limb amputation
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Few physical exercise programs for children with limb loss have been described in detail recently. We provided information regarding the characteristics and effectiveness of an alternative rehabilitation exercise developed for children with lower-limb amputation. METHODS: An 8-year-old boy with a below-knee amputation and a 9-year-old bi

26. Study of Arterial Stiffness - Based on Scientific Evidence, What are the Current Tools for the Study of Arterial Stiffness?
Abstract Background The European Heart Surgery Risk Assessment System (EuroSCORE) and InsCor have been used to predict complications of cardiac surgery. However, their application to predict lung function and functionality is still uncertain. Objective To correlate surgical risk scales with functional independence and pulmonary function in patients under

28. Inspiratory Muscle Training Based on Anaerobic Threshold on the Functional Capacity of Patients After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Clinical Trial
Abstract Introduction: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is associated with reduced ventilatory muscle strength and consequent worsening of functional capacity (FC). Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) can be indicated, but there is still a lack of knowledge about the use of the anaerobic threshold (AT) as a basis for prescription. The objective of this

29. Concurrent Validity of the Static and Dynamic Measures of Inspiratory Muscle Strength: Comparison between Maximal Inspiratory Pressure and S-Index
Abstract Objective: To verify the concurrent validity between the inspiratory muscle strength (IMS) values obtained in static (maximal inspiratory pressure [MIP]) and dynamic (S-Index) assessments. Methods: Healthy individuals were submitted to two periods of evaluation: i) MIP, static maneuver to obtain IMS, determined by the Mueller’s maneuver from res

30. Factors Associated with Quality of Life in Patients with Systemic Arterial Hypertension
Abstract Background Hypertensive patients present, in addition to worse cardiovascular health, lower health-related quality of life compared to normotensive subjects. Factors such as functional capacity, functional status, pain, participation in social activities, mental and emotional health, fatigue and energy level, along with perception of general healt

31. Associação entre achados eletromiográficos e mortalidade na unidade de terapia intensiva em pacientes com síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo mecanicamente ventilados sob sedação profunda
RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar se os achados eletromiográficos podem prever a mortalidade na unidade de terapia intensiva em pacientes sépticos sob ventilação mecânica e sedação profunda. Métodos: Conduziu-se estudo prospectivo de coorte, que inscreveu, de forma consecutiva, pacientes com síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo moderada a grave (pre

32. Lower limb muscle strength and serotonin receptor gene polymorphism as factors associated in women with fibromyalgia
Abstract Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by generalized skeletal muscle chronic pain. Its etiology is not well defined, because there are several factors that may trigger it such as physical and/or emotional stresses, or a genetic susceptibility, involving serotonergic, dopaminergic and catecholaminergic paths. The obj

35. The promise of growth hormone in sport: doped or duped
ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle is a target tissue of GH. Based on its anabolic properties, it is widely accepted that GH enhances muscle performance in sports. Athletic performance depends on muscle strength and the energy required to power muscle function. The energy required to power muscle function is derived from a continuum of anaerobic and aerobic sources. M

36. The effect of physical exercise on the memory of elderly - an intervention study
Abstract Aims: To compare the effect that two programs of physical exercise have over the memory of elderly people. Methods: This was an intervention study conducted with 79 seniors of both sexes. Individuals included in the study were randomly assigned into two groups: aerobic exercise (39 individuals) and neuromotor exercise (40 individuals). Interventio
