RESUMO
Objetivo: Analisar os aspectos motivacionais associados à prática da corrida de rua em corredores recreacionais do sudoeste do Paraná. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo com delineamento transversal e quantitativo. Participaram desta pesquisa 91 corredores recreacionais de ambos os sexos, com idade média de 38,4±10,2 anos. Foram utilizados como instrumentos de coleta de dadosuma ficha de características individuais e o Inventário de Motivação para a Prática de Atividade Física (IMPRAF-126). A Amostra foi dicotomizada em grupo adesão, com menos de um ano de prática e grupo permanência, com mais de um ano de prática. O teste de Friedman, a correção post hocde Bonferronie o teste de U-Mann-Whitney, foram utilizados para avaliar as diferenças entre as dimensões motivacionais. Resultados: A saúde (4,60±0,41) e o prazer (4,41±0,53)se apresentaram como os aspectos motivacionais mais fortes para a prática da corrida de rua, com diferença estatisticamente significativa (p<0,05) para os demais. O controle do estresse (3,99±0,67), a sociabilidade (3,83±0,83), e a estética (3,56±0,95) apresentaram escores motivacionais medianos, não diferindo estatisticamente entre si (p>0,05). A competitividade (2,42±0,98) foi o menor fator motivacional. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas nas dimensões motivacionais entre os grupos de adesão e permanência. Conclusão: Os aspectos motivacionais com maior influência na prática da corrida de ruasão prazer e saúde, tanto para adesão, como para permanência na modalidade.
Objective: To analyze the motivational aspects associated with the practice of street running in recreational runners in southwestern Paraná. Methodology:This is a cross-sectional and quantitative study. 91 recreational runners of both genders, with a mean age of 38.4±10.2 years, participated in this research. A form of individual characteristics and the Inventory of Motivation for the Practice of Physical Activity (IMPRAF-126) were used as data collection instruments. The sample was dichotomized into an adherence group, with less than one year of practice, and a permanence group, with more than one year of practice. The Friedman test, the Bonferroni post hoc correction and the U-Mann-Whitney test were used to assess the differences between the motivational dimensions. Results: Health (4.60±0.41) and pleasure (4.41±0.53) were the strongest motivational aspects for the practice of street running, with a statistically significant difference (p<0. 05) for the others. Stress control (3.99±0.67), sociability (3.83±0.83), and aesthetics (3.56±0.95) showed median motivational scores, not statistically different from each other (p >0.05). Competitiveness (2.42±0.98) was the lowest motivational factor. No significant differences were found in the motivational dimensions between the adherence and permanence groups. Conclusion: The motivational aspects with the greatest influence on the practice of street running are pleasure and health, both for adherence and for staying in the modality.

BACKGROUND: Foot-ankle exercises could improve pain and function of individuals with KOA and need to be tested. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether an 8-week foot-ankle muscle strengthening program is effective for individuals with KOA to reduce pain and improve function. METHODS: In this randomized controlled trial, individuals diagnosed with clinical and radiographic KOA were randomized into the intervention (supervised foot-ankle strengthening exercise program three times a week for 8 weeks) or control (usual care and recommendations of the healthcare team) group. Effectiveness was assessed by changes in clinical and functional outcomes between baseline and 8 weeks with pain as the primary outcome. ANCOVA tests using the intervention group as a reference and sex, body mass index, and baseline values as covariates assessed between-group differences. RESULTS: The intervention group showed lower pain scores (-4.4 units; 95%CI = -7.5, -1.1), better function (-7.1 units; 95%CI = -12.7, -1.4), higher total functional score (-11.9 units; 95%CI = -20.7, -3.1), with confidence intervals indicating a potential for the differences to be clinically meaningful, and better scores for the 30-s chair stand test (2.7 repetitions; 95%CI = 1.1, 4.1), with a confidence interval indicating a moderate clinically meaningful difference, compared to the controls. CONCLUSION: The 8-week foot-ankle exercise program showed positive, and potentially clinically meaningful, effects on knee pain and physical function among individuals with KOA, when compared to usual care.

BACKGROUND: There is little information regarding fruit and vegetable (FV) intake and physical activity (PA) among schoolchildren in Benin. In this study we evaluated the differences in breakfast eating, FV consumption and PA according to socio-economic (SE) determinants in primary schoolchildren. METHODS: A cross-sectional study using a probabilistic sample of 612 students (8-17 y of age) from 26 primary schools was done between December 2018 and January 2019. The association was estimated by logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: Of all students, 53% were physically inactive, 60% took breakfast <5 d/week, 84% irregularly ate fruits and 68% irregularly ate vegetables. Younger students (8-10 y) take breakfast regularly and older ones (>15 y) were physically more active. The probability of regular breakfast and fruit consumption were significantly higher in children of educated parents (p<0.01 and p<0.001, respectively) compared with children of non-educated parents. Medium SE status was associated with regular breakfast intake, whereas high SE status was associated with higher fruit intake and lower physical activity compared with low SE status (p<0.001). There was no association between breakfast eating, FV intake, PA and the body mass index. CONCLUSIONS: Findings emphasize the need for interventions to promote healthy eating behaviours in primary schoolchildren and their family environments.

La aptitud aeróbica se considera beneficiosa para la salud general y la calidad de vida de todo individuo. Es muy importante cuantificar la aptitud aeróbica en los individuos jóvenes que sufren una enfermedad crónica, como la diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DBT1). La investigación sobre la aptitud aeróbica en jóvenes con DBT1 ha producido resultados contradictorios, posiblemente por la inclusión de grupos de edad y estadios de maduración demasiado grandes, así como por el uso de distintos índices de aptitud aeróbica. En un estudio preliminar que incluyó varones prepúberes con DBT1 y controles sanos apareados por estadio de maduración, apreciamos una aptitud aeróbica normal en los pacientes, que realizaban apropiadamente ejercicios regulares y tenían un control adecuado de la glucemia. En este artículo presentamos las ventajas potenciales del método PWC170 para evaluar la aptitud aeróbica. Entonces, con el uso de este índice observamos una aptitud aeróbica normal en varones prepúberes con DBT1, mientras que estaba deteriorada en las niñas prepúberes con DBT1. Esta brecha en la aptitud aeróbica entre las niñas con DBT1 y las niñas sanas se hace incluso más pronunciada con la maduración puberal. Finalmente, explicamos el papel de factores como el control glucémico prolongado, el aumento de la masa grasa y la inactividad física, que podrían estar involucrados en la disminución de la aptitud aeróbica conla pubertad en niñas con DBT1.
Aerobic fitness is regarded as beneficial for everyonesoverall health and quality-of-life. It is so important toquantify aerobic fitness in young people suffering from chronic disease, such as type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).Research on aerobic fitness in young T1DM subjects has produced conflicting results, possibly because of inclusion of too large panels of ages and maturation stages aswell as the use of various indexes of aerobic fitness. In a preliminary study including T1DM prepubertal boys and maturation-stage-matched healthy controls, weevidenced a normal aerobic fitness in the patients, whowere appropriately involved in regular exercise and hada fair glycaemic control. In the present paper we present potential advantages of PWC170 to assess aerobic fitness.Then, using this index we highlight a normal aerobicfitness in prepubertal T1DM boys, whereas it is impaired in prepubertal T1DM girls. This gap in aerobic fitnessbetween T1DM and healthy girls widens with pubertalmaturation. Ultimately, we discuss the role of factors likelong-term glycaemic control, fat mass gain and physical inactivity, which could be involved in the decrease inaerobic fitness with puberty in T1DM girls.
