RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of implementing early multiprofessional mobilization on quality indicators of intensive care in Brazil. DESIGN: This is a retrospective cohort study. SETTING: A Brazilian educational and research-intensive care unit (ICU). PARTICIPANTS: A total of 1047 patients were hospitalized from May 2016 to April 2018. INTERVENTIONS: Implementation of early multiprofessional mobilization using the MobilizAÇÃO Program (MAP). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Clinical, ventilation and safety quality indicators, and physical function before (preprogram period) and after (postprogram period) the MAP. RESULTS: There was a reduction in sedation time (4 vs 1d), hospital stay (21 vs 14d) and ICU stay (14 vs 7d), mechanical ventilation (8 vs 4d), hospital death rate (46% vs 26%) (P<.001), and ICU readmission (21% vs 16%; P=.030) from pre to post MAP. Successful weaning (42% vs 55%) and discharge rate (50% vs 71%) (P<.001) increased after MAP. No differences were found to safety quality indicators between periods. After MAP, complex physical functions assessed using the Manchester Mobility Score (MMS) were more frequent. The in-bed intervention was a predictor for readmission (P=.009; R²=0.689) and death (P=.035; R²=0.217), while walking was a predictor for successful weaning (P=.030; R²=0.907) and discharge (P=.033; R²=0.373). The postprogram period was associated with the MMS at ICU discharge (P<.001; R²=0.40). CONCLUSIONS: Early mobilization implementation through changes in low mobility culture and multiprofessional actions improved quality indicators, including clinical, ventilation, and physical functional quality, without compromising patient safety in the ICU.
RESUMO
RESUMO Objetivo: Investigar a influência de uma sessão de mobilização passiva na função endotelial de pacientes com sepse. Métodos: Este foi um estudo quase-experimental duplo-cego e de braço único com desenho pré e pós-intervenção. Participaram 25 pacientes com diagnóstico de sepse hospitalizados em unidade de terapia intensiva. Avaliou-se a função endotelial basal (pré-intervenção) e imediatamente pós-intervenção por meio de ultrassonografia da artéria braquial. Foram obtidas a dilatação mediada pelo fluxo, a velocidade pico de fluxo sanguíneo e a taxa de cisalhamento pico. A mobilização passiva consistiu na mobilização bilateral (tornozelos, joelhos, quadris, pulsos, cotovelos e ombros), com três séries de dez repetições cada, totalizando 15 minutos. Resultados: Após a mobilização, encontramos aumento da função de reatividade vascular em relação à pré-intervenção: dilatação mediada pelo fluxo absoluta (0,57mm ± 0,22 versus 0,17mm ± 0,31; p < 0,001) e dilatação mediada pelo fluxo relativa (17,1% ± 8,25 versus 5,08% ± 9,16; p < 0,001). O pico de fluxo sanguíneo na hiperemia (71,8cm/s ± 29,3 versus 95,3cm/s ± 32,2; p < 0,001) e a taxa de cisalhamento (211s ± 113 versus 288s ± 144; p < 0,001) também aumentaram. Conclusão: Uma sessão de mobilização passiva foi capaz de aumentar a função endotelial em pacientes graves com sepse. Estudos futuros são necessários para investigar se um programa de mobilização pode ser aplicado como intervenção benéfica para melhorar clinicamente a função endotelial em pacientes hospitalizados por sepse.
ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the influence of a passive mobilization session on endothelial function in patients with sepsis. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental double-blind and single-arm study with a pre- and postintervention design. Twenty-five patients with a diagnosis of sepsis who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit were included. Endothelial function was assessed at baseline (preintervention) and immediately postintervention by brachial artery ultrasonography. Flow mediated dilatation, peak blood flow velocity and peak shear rate were obtained. Passive mobilization consisted of bilateral mobilization (ankles, knees, hips, wrists, elbows and shoulders), with three sets of ten repetitions each, totaling 15 minutes. Results: After mobilization, we found increased vascular reactivity function compared to preintervention: absolute flow-mediated dilatation (0.57mm ± 0.22 versus 0.17mm ± 0.31; p < 0.001) and relative flow-mediated dilatation (17.1% ± 8.25 versus 5.08% ± 9.16; p < 0.001). Reactive hyperemia peak flow (71.8cm/s ± 29.3 versus 95.3cm/s ± 32.2; p < 0.001) and shear rate (211s ± 113 versus 288s ± 144; p < 0.001) were also increased. Conclusion: A passive mobilization session increases endothelial function in critical patients with sepsis. Future studies should investigate whether a mobilization program can be applied as a beneficial intervention for clinical improvement of endothelial function in patients hospitalized due to sepsis.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to investigate the association between muscle function, body composition, and metabolic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). METHODS: Forty-eight individuals with DM2 were divided into four groups according to the severity of obesity (body mass index [BMI]: lean [LN, n = 10], overweight [OW, n = 16], obese class I [OBI, n = 15], and obese class II [OBII, n = 7]). Absolute peak torque (TQ), relative peak torque (TQ/body weight [BW]), total work (TW), and fatigue index (FI) were assessed by means of an isokinetic dynamometer during concentric knee extensor contraction. Spearman's correlation coefficients were used to estimate the association between measurements. RESULTS: Although OBII had higher insulin levels than both LN and OW groups, no significant differences were found between groups for TQ, TQ/BW, TW, and FI, as well as between metabolic variables and muscle measurements. There was a positive correlation between BMI and TQ (rs = .45) and resistance tests, between BMI and TQ (rs = .43), and TW (rs = .37). CONCLUSION: Metabolic variables do not correlate with muscle strength and endurance in DM2. However, severity of obesity measured by the BMI is positively associated with muscle force-generating capacity and endurance.

BACKGROUND: Circulatory (CP) and ventilatory power (VP) have been used to improve the prognostic accuracy of cardiopulmonary exercise tests in cardiovascular disease, such as coronary artery disease. However, the effects of combined resistance and aerobic exercise program on VP and CP, especially in type 2 diabetes patients, have not been adequately investigated. Thus, this new parameter can be useful to prescribe exercise programs more assertive for this population. The present study aimed to assess the effect of 3 months of combined resistance and aerobic exercise training (CET) on CP and VP in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 48 diabetic patients with an average age of 52.4 (±8.01) years old. The subjects were randomized into two groups: sedentary (SG, n = 15) and the CET group (n = 19). Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (symptom-limited incremental) was performed on a cycle ergometer, and the following parameters were measured: relative VO2 , VE /VCO2 slope, linear relationship between oxygen uptake and minute ventilation, and VCO2 . CET was performed with 30-min aerobic and 30-min resistance exercises three times a week for 12 weeks. RESULTS: Significant (p < .05) and clinical (d ≥ .80) differences were observed that favoured CET compared with SG for the following variables: heart rate, workload, VO2 relative peak, circulatory power peak, and VCO2 peak. Although no statistical difference was observed for ventilatory power, there was a clinical difference (p > .05 and d ≥ 0.80) that favoured CET. CONCLUSION: Three months of combined exercise training improved VP and CP indices in patients with type 2 diabetes when compared with a sedentary group.

BACKGROUND: The study was conducted to determine the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in association with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on cardiac autonomic control and functional capacity. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The study was a cross-sectional prospective controlled clinical study. Heart rate variability indices of 24 COPD (n = 12) and COPD+OSAS (n = 12) patients were evaluated and compared by electrocardiographic recordings acquired during rest, active postural maneuver (APM), respiratory sinus arrhythmia maneuver (RSA-m), and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). RESULTS: The COPD group presented higher parasympathetic modulation during APM when compared to the COPD+OSAS group (P = 0.02). The COPD+OSAS group presented higher sympathetic modulation during RSA-m when compared to the COPD group (P = 0.00). The performance during 6MWT was similarly impaired in both groups, despite the greater severity of the COPD group. CONCLUSION: Subjects with COPD+OSAS present marked sympathetic modulation, and the presence of OSAS in COPD subjects has a negative impact on functional capacity regardless of the severity of lung disease.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on respiratory and peripheral muscles oxygenation during a maximal exercise tolerance test and on repeated-sprint ability (RSA) performance in professional women football players. Eighteen athletes were randomly assigned to one of the following groups: SHAM (n = 8) or IMT (n = 10). After a maximal incremental exercise test, all participants performed (on a different day) a time-to-exhaustion (Tlim) test. Peripheral and respiratory muscles oxygenation by near-infrared spectroscopy, breath-by-breath ventilatory and metabolic variables, and blood lactate concentration were measured. The RSA test was performed on a grass field. After a 6 week intervention, all athletes were reevaluated. Both groups showed increases in inspiratory muscles strength, exercise tolerance and RSA performance, however only the IMT group presented lower deoxyhemoglobin and total hemoglobin blood concentrations on intercostal muscles concomitantly to an increased oxyhemoglobin and total hemoglobin blood concentrations on vastus lateralis muscle during Tlim. In conclusion, these results may indicate the potential role of IMT to attenuate inspiratory muscles metaboreflex and consequently improve oxygen and blood supply to limb muscles during high-intensity exercise, with a potential impact on inspiratory muscle strength, exercise tolerance and sprints performance in professional women football players.

The present study investigated the behavior of glycemia in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) during 36 sessions of a combined training program. Methods: This is a single arm clinical study with 20 patients with T2DM submitted to combined exercise training (strength and aerobic exercise). The sessions occurred on alternate days, 3x/week, lasting ~ 80 minutes, totaling ~ 240 minutes/week, for 12 weeks, over a total of 36 sessions. Capillary glycemia was measured before and 10 to 15 minutes after the end of each combined exercise session. Results: There was a significant reduction (p<0.05) in glycemia after application of the combined training program in 27 (75%) of the 36 sessions. Regarding the maintenance of this reduction after about 48 hours, no significant differences were identified (p>0.05). When investigating the cumulative effect of the 36 sessions of combined training program on capillary glycemia, no significant differences were observed (p>0.05). Conclusion: Glycemia exhibits a behavior of reduction immediately after concurrent strength and aerobic training programs in patients with T2DM. However, the immediate reduction of glycemia is not maintained until 48 hours, nor is there a cumulative effect of the 36 training sessions on baseline glycemia.(AU)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate heart rate variability during an inspiratory muscle endurance protocol at three different load levels [30%, 60% and 80% of maximal inspiratory pressure], in patients who had previously undergone coronary artery bypass grafting. METHODS: Nineteen late postoperative myocardial revascularization patients participating in a cardiovascular rehabilitation program were studied. Maximal inspiratory pressure maneuvers were performed. An inspiratory muscle endurance protocol at 30%, 60% and 80% of maximal inspiratory pressure was applied for four minutes each, in random order. Heart rate and RR intervals were recorded and heart rate variability was analyzed by time (RMSSD-the mean of the standard deviations for all R-R intervals, and RMSM-root-mean square differences of successive R-R intervals) and frequency domains indices (high and low frequency) in normalized units. ANOVA for repeated measurements was used to compare heart rate variability indices and Student t-test was used to compare the maximal inspiratory pressure and maximal expiratory pressure values. RESULTS: Heart rate increased during performance of maximal respiratory pressures maneuvers, and the maximal inspiratory pressure and maximal expiratory pressure mean values were significantly lower than predicted values (P <0.05). RMSSD increased significantly at 80% in relation to rest and 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure and RMSM decreased at 30% and 60% of maximal inspiratory pressure in relation to rest (P <0.05). Additionally, there was significant and progressive decrease in low frequency and increase in high frequency at 30%, 60% and 80% of maximal inspiratory pressure in relation to the resting condition. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that respiratory muscle training at high intensities can promote greater parasympathetic activity and it may confer important benefits during a rehabilitation program in post-coronary artery bypass grafting.

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 the effectiveness of CPAP on the first day of ambulation after CABG in patients undergoing inpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR). METHODS: Fifty-four patients after CABG surgery were randomly assigned to receive either inpatient CR and CPAP (CPG) or standard CR without CPAP (CG). Cardiac rehabilitation included walking and CPAP pressures were set between 10 to 12 cmH2O. Participants were assessed on the first day of walking at rest and during walking. Outcome measures included breathing pattern variables, exercise time in seconds (ETs), dyspnea/leg effort ratings, and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2). RESULTS: Twenty-seven patients (13 CPG vs 14 CG) completed the study. Compared with walking without noninvasive ventilation assistance, CPAP increased ETs by 43.4 seconds (P = .040) during walking, promoted better thoracoabdominal coordination, increased ventilation during walking by 12.5 L/min (P = .001), increased SpO2 values at the end of walking by 2.6% (P = .016), and reduced dyspnea ratings by 1 point (P = .008). CONCLUSIONS: Continuous positive airway pressure can positively influence exercise tolerance, ventilatory function, and breathing pattern in response to a single bout of exercise after CABG.

BACKGROUND: Non-invasive assessment of haemodynamic function by impedance cardiography (IC) constitutes an interesting approach to monitor cardiac function in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, such measurements are most often performed at rest, whereas symptoms are also possible during exertion, particularly at higher intensities. In addition, the association between IC during exertion and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) is not well understood in these patients, which was the aim of this study. METHODS: Nineteen men (age = 62 ± 6 years) with CAD [left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) = 61 ± 10%] underwent a CPX using an incremental protocol on a cycle ergometer, with simultaneous measurement of IC. Cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), cardiac index (CI), peak oxygen consumption (VO2 ), the oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES), circulatory power and ventilatory power were determined. RESULTS: Pearson product-moment correlation analysis revealed peak VO2 (r = 0·46) was significantly related to CO. Peak oxygen pulse (0·52) was associated with SV. OUES was associated with resting SV (0·47) and with peak SV (r = 0·52). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that IC indices are associated with certain, but not all, established CPX measures in patients with stable CAD.

INTRODUCTION: It is well known that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) produces cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN), which may affect the cardiac autonomic modulation. However, it is unclear whether the lack of glycemic control in T2DM without CAN could impact negatively on cardiac autonomic modulation. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between glycemic control and cardiac autonomic modulation in individuals with T2DM without CAN. Descriptive, prospective and cross sectional study.METHODS: Forty-nine patients with T2DM (51±7 years) were divided into two groups according to glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c): G1≤7% and G2>7.0%. Resting heart rate (HR) and RR interval (RRi) were obtained and calculated by linear (Mean iRR; Mean HR; rMSSD; STD RR; LF; HF; LF/HF, TINN and RR Tri,) and non-linear (SD1; SD2; DFα1; DFα2, Shannon entropy; ApEn; SampEn and CD) methods of heart rate variability (HRV). Insulin, HOMA-IR, fasting glucose and HbA1c were obtained by blood tests.RESULTS: G2 (HbA1c≤7%) showed lower values for the mean of iRR; STD RR; RR Tri, TINN, SD2, CD and higher mean HR when compared with G1 (HbA1c > 7%). Additionally, HbA1c correlated negatively with mean RRi (r=0.28, p=0.044); STD RR (r=0.33, p=0.017); RR Tri (r=-0.35, p=0.013), SD2 (r=-0.39, p=0.004) and positively with mean HR (r=0.28, p=0.045). Finally, fasting glucose correlated negatively with STD RR (r=-0.36, p=0.010); RR Tri (r=-0.36, p=0.010); TINN (r=-0.33, p=0.019) and SD2 (r=-0.42, p=0.002).CONCLUSION: We concluded that poor glycemic control is related to cardiac autonomic modulation indices in individuals with T2DM even if they do not present cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy.
INTRODUÇÃO: É de conhecimento geral que o diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) produz neuropatia autonômica cardiovascular (NAC), que pode afetar a modulação autonômica cardíaca. Entretanto, não é claro se a falta de controle glicêmico em diabéticos tipo 2 sem NAC, poderia impactar negativamente na modulação autonômica cardíaca. Objetivo: Avaliar a relação entre controle glicêmico e modulação autonômica cardíaca em indivíduos com DM2 sem neuropatia autonômica cardiovascular. Estudo descritivo, prospectivo e transversal.MÉTODOS: Quarenta e nove pacientes com DM2 (51±7 anos) foram divididos em dois grupos de acordo com a hemoglobina glicosilada (HbA1c): G1: ≤ 7% e G2: >7,0%. A frequência cardíaca de repouso (FC) e intervalo RR (iRR) foram obtidos e calculados por métodos lineares (média iRR; média FC; rMSSD; STD RR; LF; HF; LF/HF, TINN e RR Tri) e não lineares (SD1; SD2; DFα1; DFα2, Entropia de Shannon; ApEn; SampEn e CD) de variabilidade de frequência cardíaca. Insulina, HOMA-IR, glicemia de jejum e HbA1c foram obtidas por análises sanguíneas.RESULTADOS: G2 (HbA1c ≤ 7%) mostrou valores menores para média de iRR; STD RR; RR Tri, TINN, SD2, CD e maiores para média de FR quando comparado com G1 (HbA1c > 7%). Adicionalmente, HbA1c correlacionou-se negativamente com media iRR (r=0,28, p=0,044); STD RR (r=0,33, p=0,017); RR Tri (r=-0,35, p=0,013), SD2 (r=-0,39, p=0,004) e positivamente com média FC (r=0,28, p=0,045). Finalmente, a glicemia de jejum correlacionou-se negativamente com STD RR (r=-0,36, p=0,010); RR Tri (r=-0,36, p=0,010); TINN (r=-0,33, p=0,019) e SD2 (r=-0,42, p=0,002).CONCLUSÃO: Conclui que o controle glicêmico deficiente relaciona-se com índices de modulação autonômica cardíaca em indivíduos com DM2, ainda que não apresentem neuropatia autonômica cardiovascular.
INTRODUCCIÓN: Es de conocimiento general que la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) produce neuropatía autonómica cardiovascular (NAC), que puede afectar la modulación autonómica cardíaca. Entretanto, no es claro si la falta de control glucémico en diabéticos tipo 2 sin NAC, podría impactar negativamente en la modulación autonómica cardíaca. Objetivo: Evaluar la relación entre control glucémico y modulación autonómica cardíaca en individuos con DM2 sin neuropatía autonómica cardiovascular. Estudio descriptivo, prospectivo y transversal.MÉTODOS: Cuarenta y nueve pacientes con DM2 (51±7 años) fueron divididos en dos grupos de acuerdo con la hemoglobina glucosilada (HbA1c): G1: ≤ 7% y G2: >7,0%. La frecuencia cardíaca de reposo (FC) e intervalo RR (iRR) fueron obtenidos y calculados por métodos lineales (promedio iRR; promedio FC; rMSSD; STD RR; LF; HF; LF/HF, TINN y RR Tri) y no lineales (SD1; SD2; DFα1; DFα2, Entropía de Shannon; ApEn; SampEn y CD) de variabilidad de frecuencia cardíaca. Fueron obtenidas insulina, HOMA-IR, glucemia en ayunas y HbA1c a través de análisis sanguíneos.RESULTADOS: G2 (HbA1c ≤ 7%) mostró valores menores para el promedio de iRR; STD RR; RR Tri, TINN, SD2, CD y mayores para el promedio de FR al ser comparado con G1 (HbA1c > 7%). Adicionalmente, HbA1c se correlacionó negativamente con el promedio iRR (r=0,28, p=0,044); STD RR (r=0,33, p=0,017); RR Tri (r=-0,35, p=0,013), SD2 (r=-0,39, p=0,004) y positivamente con el promedio FC (r=0,28, p=0,045). Finalmente, la glucemia en ayunas se correlacionó negativamente con STD RR (r=-0,36, p=0,010); RR Tri (r=-0,36, p=0,010); TINN (r=-0,33, p=0,019) e SD2 (r=-0,42, p=0,002).CONCLUSIÓN: Concluimos que el control glucémico deficiente se relaciona con índices de modulación autonómica cardíaca en individuos con DM2, aunque no presenten neuropatía autonómica cardiovascular.
RESUMO
INTRODUÇÃO: A Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica (DPOC) é caracterizada por alterações estruturais do parênquima pulmonar, acarretando manifestações sistêmicas. Além disso, esses pacientes podem apresentar marcada alteração do controle autonômico cardíaco. Nesse contexto, estudos investigando a variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC) em pacientes com DPOC durante a realização de exercício físico em cicloergometro têm sido pouco explorados. OBJETIVO: Determinar o limiar anaeróbio por meio da VFC com o propósito de estabelecer parâmetros de avaliação e prescrição da intensidade de exercício desses pacientes em cicloergômetro. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados oito pacientes do sexo masculino com diagnóstico de DPOC com idade média de 69,5 ± 7,6 anos. A frequência cardíaca foi analisada no repouso e em diferentes intensidades do exercício. O teste foi realizado em um cicloergômetro e consistiu em um período de aquecimento de quatro minutos em uma potência mínima. Foram, também, realizados degraus com potência inicial de 4W, com acréscimos de 5 em 5W, até que o paciente atingisse o limiar anaeróbio. RESULTADOS: Os pacientes que apresentaram maiores valores de VEF1 apresentaram maiores potências no cicloergômetro. Houve redução significativa da VFC durante o exercício físico se comparado ao repouso sentado p < 0,05. CONCLUSÃO: Os pacientes estudados apresentaram um severo descondicionamento físico reafirmado pela impossibilidade determinada pelo LA de 50% da amostra.
INTRODUCTION: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is characterized by structural alterations of lung parenchyma resulting in systemic manifestations. These patients may have marked change in cardiac autonomic control. In this context, studies investigating heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with COPD during physical exercise cycloergometers have been little explored. OBJECTIVE: To determine the anaerobic threshold through HRV in order to establish parameters of evaluation and prescription of exercise intensity in these patients on a cycloergometer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eight male patients diagnosed with COPD, mean age 69.5 ± 7.6 years were studied. Heart rate was analyzed at rest and at different intensities of exercise. The test was performed on a cycloergometer and consisted of a warm-up period of four minutes at a minimum power. Steps were performed with initial power of 4W, with increments of 5 in 5W, until the patient reached the anaerobic threshold. RESULTS: Patients that presented higher values of FEV1 showed greater powers during the cycloergometer. Additionally, there was significant reduction in HRV during exercise compared to rest sitting p < 0.05. CONCLUSION: Patients had a severe physical deconditioning reaffirmed the impossibility determined by the anaerobic threshold of 50% of the sample.

Estudos têm demonstrado que o exercício aeróbio promove elevação na sensibilidade tecidual à insulina (SI) e na tolerância à glicose (TG), porém a análise de tais variáveis após treinamento de força (TF) tem sido pouco explorada. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos do TF sobre a TG e SI em ratos. Foram estudados 20 ratos Wistar, pareados por peso e aleatoriamente distribuídos em 2 grupos: G1 ? Sham e G2 ? TF. Todos os animais foram submetidos a 3 dias de adaptação e, subsequentemente, treinados com cargas progressivas por 3 vezes por semana, durante 8 semanas numa escada de madeira. Para avaliar SI e TG foram realizadas coletas de sangue e avaliada a cinética da glicemia pelo teste de tolerância à insulina (% de decaimento da curva; B) e o teste de tolerância à glicose (área sob a curva; AC), antes da adaptação e após o 24º dia de treinamento. A análise estatística foi realizada pelo teste t de Student pareado e não-pareado, sendo o p ? 0,05. Apenas G2 mostrou significativo aumento no B após treinamento, sendo que o delta do B entre os grupos mostrou diferenças significativas (p ? 0,05), com maiores valores no G2. Em contraste, AC não apresentou alteração significativa entre os grupos nem entre os deltas (p > 0,05). O TF promoveu benefícios adaptativos na sensibilidade tecidual à insulina, sugerindo que o TF pode ser um recurso interessante durante programas de fisioterapia cardiovascular em doenças crônicas.
Experimental studies have demonstrated that aerobic exercise promotes an increase of tissue insulin sensitivity (IS) and glucose tolerance (GT), however the analysis of such variables after strength training (ST) have been little explored. So the objective of this issue was to investigate the effects of ST on GT and IS in rats submitted to strength training (ST). We studied 20 male Wistar rats, paired by weight and randomly assigned to one of two groups: G1? training without load (Sham) and G2 ? strength training (ST). All animals were submitted to 3 days of adaptation and subsequently were trained with progressive loads 3 times a week for 8 weeks, in a wooden stair of height-1,1m and inclination-80º with a rest area on the top. To measure the IS and GT were collected blood samples and evaluated glycemic kinetic by insulin tolerance tests (% of decay-B) and glucose tolerance tests (area under the curve-AC), before the adaptation and after the 24th day of training. Statistical Analysis was performed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and paired and unpaired Student t-tests, with p?0.05. Only G2 showed significant increase in B after training and the delta of B showed significant differences (p?0.05) with higher values in G2. In contrast, the AC did not change between groups or deltas (p>0.05). The ST promoted beneficial adaptations in the tissue sensitivity to insulin, suggest that ST can be an interesting resource during cardiovascular physiotherapy programs in chronic diseases.
