1. Effect of 12 weeks of aquatic strength training on individuals with multiple sclerosis
ABSTRACT Background: Physical exercise programs are recommended for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, studies involving aquatic strength training to improve functional capacity in MS are limited. Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of an aquatic strength-training program in improving physical function, strength, and fatigue levels i

2. Reference Equation for the Six-Minute Walk Test in Brazilian Patients with Obesity
Abstract Background: Obesity has repercussions on functional capacity (FC). The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a useful tool for assessing submaximal FC, and the distance reached at 6 minutes of walking (D6MW) is a relevant prognostic marker. Objective: This paper aims to establish a reference equation for the distance predicted in 6MWT in obese Brazilian

3. 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

4. DOES HABITUAL PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVEL INFLUENCE AEROBIC CAPACITY AND HEART RATE VARIABILITY IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN?
RESUMO O objetivo da pesquisa foi verificar se o nível de atividade física habitual (NAFH) de mulheres em fase pós menopausa apresenta influência na capacidade aeróbia e atividade parassimpática em repouso. Participaram do estudo 30 mulheres na fase da pós menopausa (59,3 ± 5,3 anos; 1,58 ± 0,06 m; 64,5 ± 9,6 kg; 25,6 ± 3,1; %G = 27 ± 5%). Foram

5. Ventilation distribution as a contributor to the functional exercise capacity in patients with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease without pulmonary hypertension
Phenotypic differences have been described between patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) and SSc-associated pulmonary hypertension, including performance differences in the 6-min walk test (6MWT). Moreover, the correlations between the 6MWT and traditional pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are weak, indicating the ne

6. LIPID PROFILE, FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY AND ANKLE-BRACHIAL INDEX IN ACTIVE OLDER ADULTS
RESUMO Introdução: A prática de atividade física regular previne doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) e aterosclerose, além de melhorar o perfil lipídico e a capacidade funcional em idosos. Objetivo: Avaliar e comparar o perfil lipídico, desempenho funcional e índice tornozelo-braquial (ITB) de idosos sedentários e ativos. Métodos: Trata-se de um est

7. Clinical and functional variables can predict general fatigue in patients with acromegaly: an explanatory model approach
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate whether hormonal profile, arterial function, and physical capacity are predictors of fatigue in patients with acromegaly. Subjects and methods: This is a cross-sectional study including 23 patients. The subjects underwent a Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) assessment; serum growth hormones (GH) and IGF-1 measurements; pul

9. Evaluation of maximal lactate steady state in middle-aged hypertensive women
Abstract AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the lactate response in physically inactive hypertensive women submitted to the treadmill maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) protocol. METHODS Twenty-two hypertensive women (40 - 64 years) performed a familiarization period of walking on the treadmill following by one incremental test for estimating th

10. Aerobic training in aquatic environment improves the position sense of stroke patients: A randomized clinical trial
Abstract AIMS (Stroke patients often present sensory-motor alterations and less aerobic capacity. Joint position sense, which is crucial for balance and gait control, is also affected in stroke patients). To compare the effect of two exercise training protocols (walking in deep water and on a treadmill) on the knee position sense of stroke patients. METHOD

11. Collaborative care model improves self-care ability, quality of life and cardiac function of patients with chronic heart failure
Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a common chronic disease that requires much care. This study aimed to explore the effects of collaborative care model (CCM) on patients with CHF. A total of 114 CHF patients were enrolled in this study, and were randomly and equally divided into two groups: control and experimental. Patients in the two groups received either us

12. Relationship between ventilation heterogeneity and exercise intolerance in adults with sickle cell anemia
Sickle cell anemia (SCA) causes dysfunction of multiple organs, with pulmonary involvement as a major cause of mortality. Recently, there has been growing interest in the nitrogen single-breath washout (N2SBW) test, which is able to detect ventilation heterogeneity and small airway disease when the results of other pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are still n
