La hipertensión arterial es un problema de salud pública que afecta a una gran proporción de la población mundial y es considerado el principal factor de riesgo para enfermedades cardiovasculares. Su tratamiento puede ser farmacológico y no farmacológico. Dentro de las estrategias no farmacológicas, la realización de actividad física es prioridad por sus efectos positivos ampliamente demostrados; sin embargo, la recomendación casi siempre es enfocada en la prescripción de actividad física de tipo aeróbico. La actividad física de fuerza o resistencia habían sido previamente desaconsejadas por los efectos teóricos hipertensores a corto plazo. El presente artículo de revisión tiene como objetivo describir la evidencia científica disponible sobre el efecto del ejercicio de fuerza y resistencia en pacientes con hipertensión arterial. El trabajo recoge evidencia de un total de 9 estudios clínicos llevados a cabo en población con hipertensión arterial y los efectos en la tensión arterial y otras variables de interés. Los resultados de los artículos consultados demuestran que el ejercicio de fuerza y resistencia son estrategias válidas y seguras para llevar a cabo en pacientes con hipertensión arterial.

Objective: To analyze the quality of life of active military police in a state in the Western Amazon during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methodology. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional field study, with a convenience sample, non-probabilistic and with a quantitative focus, with 358 active PMs in the PMRO. A self-report questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic data and health conditions. To assess QOL, the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire was used, consisting of 26 questions related to the physical, psychological, social relationships and environment domains and their facets. Results: Analyzing the sociodemographic characteristics, the age variable obtained (39.21 ± 6.41) years and (61.17%) of the PMs were less than 40 years old. The variable length of service was (15.44 ± 7.64) and (78.21%) of the police officers had less than 20 years of experience in the police service. The working hours obtained (6.87 ± 2.04) and (29.10 ± 80.79) days away from work due to NCDs or Covid-19. In terms of education, (52.79%) have a college degree, (69.27%) are married, (47.49%) are warrant officers and sergeants with an income between 5 and 7 minimum wages, (49.44%) work 6 daily hours, (43.02%) were removed from the service due to CNCD and (34.08%) due to Covid-19. The general quality of life obtained an average of (15.21 ± 2.00). Among the WHOQOL-Bref domains, the highest score was for the psychological domain (16.01± 2.11) and the lowest for the environment (14.20 ± 2.28) and the self-assessment of QOL was (14, 97 ± 2.69). Conclusion: The quality of life has satisfactory levels, despite chronic health conditions and the multidimensional character of quality of life, with (76.8%) of the PMs evaluating their QOL as very good and good and (65.8%) being very satisfied or satisfied with their health, with the highest scores in the social relationships domain and the lowest in the environment domain. For the facets, the highest scores were for mobility, self-esteem, sexual activity and the lowest scores were for negative feelings, dependence on medication or treatment, and finally, pain and discomfort, data that are corroborated by the self-report of NCDs and Covid-19.

Objective: To analyze the sociodemographic characteristics, levels of physical activity and health conditions of active military police officers in the State of Rondônia, in the Western Amazon, Brazil in times of the Covid-19 pandemic. Methodology: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional field study, with a convenience sample, non-probabilistic and with a quantitative approach, with 358 PMs working in the PMRO. A self-report questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic data and health conditions. The IPAQ-short version was used to assess the level of physical activity (NAF). Results: The age variable obtained (39.21 ± 6.41) years and (61.17%) of the PMs were less than 40 years old. The variable length of service was (15.44 ± 7.64) and (78.21%) of the police officers had less than 20 years of experience in the police service. The working hours obtained (6.87 ± 2.04) and (29.10 ± 80.79) days away from work due to NCDs or Covid-19. According to the NAF, 29.61% were classified as very active, 23.74% active, 14.24% irregularly active A, 8.38% irregularly active B and 24.86% sedentary. Of the CNCDs, musculoskeletal diseases (16.49%), psychosomatic diseases (14.80%), SAH (8.10%), dyslipidemias (5.58%), CVDs (2.51%), cancer (0, 56%) and DM2 (0.28%). Of the total number of infectious diseases, 34.08% contracted Covid-19. Conclusion: The physical activity levels (47.48%) of the military police were in the classification (irregularly active + sedentary) according to the IPAQ-short version, confirming the low PAL of these individuals. Low NAF, NCDs and Covid-19 contributed to momentarily worsening the quality of life of PMs.
