OBJETIVO: Descrever sintomas depressivos, níveis de atividade física e qualidade de vida (QV) de pessoas vivendo com HIV/AIDS (PVHA) durante a pandemia do COVID-19.MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal, realizado com PVHA durante os meses de julho e agosto de 2020, durante a pandemia do COVID-19, na cidade do Recife. A amostra foi composta por 34 PVHA (idade=43±12 anos) para verificar nível de atividade física, sintomas depressivos e QV através dos questionários IPAQ, inventário BECK e HAT-qol, respectivamente, além de perguntas sobre dados sociodemográficos.RESULTADOS: A maioria dos participantes foi enquadrada como fisicamente ativo (67%) e apresentou algum grau de depressão (52,9%). A presença de algum grau de depressão apresentou associação negativa com a escolaridade (p<0,01) e a renda mensal (p<0,05). O domínio de QV Preocupações com medicação obteve o maior escore (79,1±25,4; n=32) e, Preocupações financeiras, o menor (35,1±30,3). Houve correlações negativas significativas entre sintomas depressivos e oito dos nove domínios de QV avaliados. Apenas quatro participantes (11,8%) foram testados para detecção do novo coronavírus. O acesso a medicamentos da terapia antirretroviral (TARV) foi impossibilitado a cinco entrevistados (14,7%).CONCLUSÕES: Foi demonstrado que, durante a pandemia do COVID-19, PVHA apresentaram elevado índice de depressão e baixa renda mensal. O acesso a testes para detecção do novo coronavírus por PVHA foi bastante escasso.
This study objective to compare the acute effects between one resistance training bout with high versus moderate intensities on inflammatory markers in women with severe obesity. Experimental crossover study, performed with adult women with severe obesity (BMI ≥ 40.0 kg/m²; age ≥ 18 years old). Each participant performed a high and moderate intensity resistance training (HIRT and MIRT, respectively) with an interval of 7 days between bouts. Four exercises were performed in the both protocols, with total training volume equalized. MIRT consisted of 3 sets of 8 repetitions each, with an intensity of 75% of 1RM, while HIRT consisted of 2 sets of 6 repetitions, followed by a 20-second rest, with a new performance of 2 to 3 repetitions, with one more rest of 20s and finishing with 2 to 3 more repetitions, at an intensity of 85% of 1RM. Blood samples were collected before, 15 minutes after and 24 hours after both training protocols. The inflammatory markers analyzed were IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and IFN-γ. Nine participants have completed the intervention (n=9; 35.2 ± 10.93 years old; BMI = 48.3 ± 5.06 kg/m²). The Mann-Whitney U test showed that there was no significant difference between the HIRT and MIRT in the concentration of markers. Friedman's test did not report significant differences between intragroup measures for the HIRT as well as MIRT. This research suggests that a single session of high or moderate intensity resistance training does not change the inflammatory status of women with severe obesity.
