RESUMO
Objetivo Investigar os efeitos do distanciamento social na qualidade de vida de mulheres com condromalácia patelar antes e durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Em 2019, o mundo foi atingido pela descoberta do novo coronavírus, uma doença infecciosa e extremamente contagiosa. O isolamento social ocasionado pela pandemia pode ser responsável pelo aumento do sedentarismo, agravando o quadro clínico e a qualidade de vida de pacientes portadores da síndrome da dor patelofemoral. Métodos Foi aplicado o questionário de qualidade de vida SF-36 em 10 mulheres portadoras da síndrome patelofemoral, residentes na região Oeste de São Paulo, com idades entre 20 e 40 anos, praticantes de atividades físicas. Resultados A análise dos resultados obtidos mostra uma queda na pontuação de todas os domínios analisados no questionário no período durante a pandemia quando comparado ao período pré-pandemia. Conclusão Conclui-se que com o isolamento social causado pela pandemia e a inatividade física, houve interferência negativa na qualidade de vida de mulheres portadoras de condromalácia patelar
Objective To investigate through field research whether social distancing and decreased physical activity had an influence on the quality of life of women with patellar chondromalacia. In 2019, the world was hit by the discovery of the new corona virus, an infectious and extremely contagious disease. The social isolation caused by the pandemic may be responsible for the increase of sedentarism, worsening the clinical scenario and quality of life of patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Methods The SF-36 quality of life questionnaire was applied to 10 women with patellofemoral syndrome, living in the West region of São Paulo, aged between 20 and 40, practicing physical activities. Results The analysis of the results obtained shows a drop in the score of all the domains analyzed in the questionnaire during the period during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period. Conclusion It is concluded that with social isolation caused by the pandemic and physical inactivity, there was negative interference in the quality of life of women with patellar chondromalacia.

RESUMO
Objetivo Verificar a opinião dos professores de natação infantil sobre a importância do lúdico, investigar se aplicam conceitos lúdicos em suas aulas e comparar estas respostas com a frequência dos alunos nas aulas de natação. Segundo a literatura, o lúdico é a metodologia mais indicada para o ensino da natação infantil. Houve então, a necessidade de verificar sua utilização e eficácia na atuação prática do profissional de educação física. Métodos Participaram desta pesquisa 10 professores de natação para crianças de 3 a 6 anos de idade que responderam a um questionário sobre a metodologia lúdica e sua importância nas aulas de natação. Também foram analisados dados de frequência dos alunos a fim de relacionar o uso da metodologia lúdica com os índices de frequência de cada professor participante. Resultados Todos os professores participantes conhecem e utilizam a metodologia lúdica em suas aulas seja parcialmente ou integralmente. Os professores que alcançaram um maior número de frequência de alunos responderam ao questionário de forma mais favorável ao uso da metodologia do que os professores que obtiveram números mais baixos de frequência. Conclusão Os professores participantes do projeto aplicam conceitos lúdicos para o ensino da natação infantil em suas aulas. Acreditam na metodologia e reafirmam sua importância. Assim como, professores com aulas mais lúdicas apresentam níveis de frequência maiores
Objective To verify the opinion of the teachers of importance of ludic, investigate whether ludic concepts are applied in classes and compare answers with frequency of students in swimming classes. According to the literature, ludic is the most appropriate methodology for teaching children to swim. There was then, the need to verify its use and effectiveness. Methods Ten swimming teachers of small children (3-6 years) answered a questionnaire about the ludic methodology and its importance in swimming classes. Frequency in classes was also analyzed in order to relate the use of the ludic methodology to the frequency indexes of each teacher. Results All teachers know and use the ludic methodology in classes partially or fully. Teachers who had achieved greater number of student's frequency ans- wered the questionnaire in a more favorable way to the use of the methodology than the teachers who obtained lower frequencies. Conclusion The teachers who were investigated in this research applied ludic concepts for teaching children's swimming in the classes. They believe in methodology and reaffirm its importance. Also, teachers with more ludic classes have higher frequency levels
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The most widely used instrument to measure perceived exertion or exercise intensity is the Borg's Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale. Panic attacks are aversive experiences that may be triggered by bodily sensations such as palpitations, breathlessness or dizziness due to increasing autonomic distress, prior sensitisation to panic and fear conditioning. The consequence is catastrophic interpretation of bodily sensations of arousal in general, which can lead to misinterpretation of exertion or exercise intensity. PURPOSE: To verify the effectiveness of the Borg's RPE Scale as a measure of perceived effort in panic disorder subjects. METHODS: The study enrolled 72 subjects: the control group (C, healthy sedentary subjects, n=30) and patients with panic disorder (PD, n=42). All subjects were submitted to an ergospirometry challenge. Perceived exertion RPE scores and heart rate at 90% VO2max were compared between groups. RESULTS: Patients with PD showed lower levels of maximal oxygen consumption, when compared with C group [VO2max (mL/kg/min): PD=29.42±6.50xC=34.51±5.35; Student's t-test=-3.51; p <0.05]. Furthermore, among PD subjects, the maximum heart rate during ergospirometry challenge was lower than expected [predict max HR (bpm)=200.85±6.33xheart rate test (bpm)=178.86±7.28; Z=-5.64; p<0.05]. Perceived exertion, as measured by RPE, was also overestimated in relation to heart rate at 90% of maximum oxygen consumption compared with controls (RPE90%VO2max: PD=18.93±0.55xC=16.67±0.60; U=8.00; Z=7.42; p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The present study findings suggest that the Borg's RPE Scale may not be an appropriate measure of subjective exertion among subjects with panic disorder performing a cardiopulmonary exercise test.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: 1) To identify whether patients with panic disorder in general and those with the respiratory subtype in particular actively avoid exercise; 2) to investigate physiological differences in cardiopulmonary function parameters in patients with panic disorder in general, patients with the respiratory subtype of panic disorder, and healthy controls upon exercise challenge. METHODS: Patients with panic disorder were classified as having either the respiratory or the non-respiratory subtype. Both groups were compared to controls in terms of exercise avoidance patterns and performance on cardiopulmonary exercise testing. RESULTS: Patients with panic disorder exhibited higher exercise avoidance scores and worse performance on cardiopulmonary exercise testing as compared with controls. No differences were found between patients with the respiratory and non-respiratory subtypes. CONCLUSIONS: Exercise avoidance is present in panic disorder and is associated with poorer performance on cardiopulmonary exercise testing. These findings are not limited to patients with the respiratory subtype of the disorder.

Os ataques de pânico são representados por um período distinto no qual há o início súbito de intensa apreensão, temor ou terror, freqüentemente associados com sentimentos de catástrofe iminente, diagnosticado em aproximadamente 10 por cento da população. O Transtorno de Pânico é um transtorno de ansiedade que se caracteriza pela recorrência de ataques de pânico: crises súbitas de mal-estar e sensação de perigo ou morte iminente, acompanhadas de diversos sintomas físicos e cognitivos. Os indivíduos com Transtorno de Pânico apresentam, caracteristicamente, preocupações acerca das implicações ou conseqüências dos ataques de pânico. É uma condição clínica complexa que envolve diferentes modalidades ou conglomerados de sintomas. Assim, o foco nas sensações físicas erroneamente interpretadas no transtorno de pânico e na hipocondria centraliza-se basicamente nas manifestações autonômicas, como taquicardia e dispnéia. Há poucos estudos sobre atividade física e transtorno de pânico. O principal objetivo do estudo visa identificar com diferentes descrições se há uma população "nuclear" com sintomas predominantemente respiratórios apresentando esquiva de atividade física e a influência do exercício nesta população.
Panic attacks are represented by distinct periods in which there is a sudden beginning of internal apprehension, fear or terror, frequently associated with feelings of imminent catastrophe, diagnosed in approximately 10 percent of the population. The panic disorder is an anxiety crisis that is characterized by the recurrence of panic attacks: sudden crises of uneasiness and sensation of danger or imminent death, followed by diverse physical and cognitive symptoms. Individuals with panic disorder are characteristically concerned about panic attacks implications or consequences. It is a complex clinical condition that involves different modalities or myriad of symptoms. Thus, the focus on the physical sensations misinterpreted in panic disorder and hypochondria, is basically centered in autonomic manifestations, such as tachycardia and dyspnea. There are scarce studies on physical activity and panic disorder. The main purpose of the study is to identify with different descriptions whether there is a 'main' population with symptoms predominantly respiratory presenting avoidance of physical activity and exercise influence on this population.
