RESUMO

The adaptive response to a training program is related to an intensive process of protein synthesis, which cumulative effect of multiple sessions of exercise leads to muscle phenotypic alterations and increases different physical capacities. For such adaptation an appropriate time for recovery between stimuli is required. A continuous process of intensified training without adequate recovery time is called overtraining. It can result in basically two different states concerning performance: functional overreaching (FOR), with maintenance or even improvement of performance after the recovery period, and non-functional overreaching (NFOR), characterized by performance decrement for a prolonged period. The visualization of acute and chronic changes on the protein profile of both cells and fluids may help one to understand the mechanisms involved on FOR and NFOR states, and it can enable the identification of biomarkers helping to detect these states. Within this context the proteomic analysis can be an interesting tool as it enables to separate, identify and quantify the protein profile of tissues and biological fluids. This work is divided in two parts: research (Part I), and education (Part II), which represent the experiences that I have been living since my scientific initiation and therefore, both are relevant for my education. Part I consists of three chapters in which the main goal is to investigate the acute and chronic changes in response to exercise in serum proteins profile of rats by proteomic analysis. Chapter 1 presents a review of the molecular mechanisms involved in the adaptive response to training, serum proteins, the techniques used in proteomics analysis and its applicability on exercise research. Chapter 2 presents the acute changes in serum protein profile of rats submitted to an exhaustive exercise of average duration on a treadmill, 3 and 24 hours after the stimulus. The proteins differently expressed 24 hours after the exercise were the acute-phase protein synthesized in response to installation of the inflammatory process, indicating that the generation of micro trauma and inflammation are parts of the acute response to the exercise. Chapter 3 reveals the changes in the serum protein profile of rats, submitted to an exercise protocol developed recently in our laboratory, to induce the animals through the continuum training-overtraining, leading the animals to the FOR and NFOR states. The differently expressed proteins indicate an anti-inflammatory process in the animals that were in the FOR group and protein changes which favored the adaptive processes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and the complete recovery of tissue damage, as well as the improvement on the lipid profile. The NFOR group presented changes of acute phase proteins indicating the instalation of an inflamatory process and alterations in some proteins that may have impaired the development of the adaptive response, which results in performance decrement. Part II of this work shows a proposal for a practical activity implemented in a specialization course with focus on Biochemistry for Physical Education and Nutrition students. This activity consists in the discussion of the Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load concepts through data obtained by the students. This class is used to introduce the study of synthesis pathways and metabolic integration in the fed state
