The article aims to summarize the literature about the profile of risk of orthorexia in athletes using the ORTO-15 questionnaire. The search was performed at PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Sport Discus databases, using the terms “orthorexia” AND “athletes” with the respective entry terms. A multistage process of selection followed the PRISMA 2020 recommendation. A total of 688 articles were identified, and six studies were available for the final process. The prevalence of risk for orthorexia was assessed by the articles by the ORTO-15 questionnaire and ranged between 38 and 35 points. The comparison between male and female athletes and, athletes and non-athletes was not significant in the six articles. In conclusion, the review highlights that athletes from different sports, included in the review, do not present a risk of orthorexia nervosa considering the cutoff of 40 points, but not 35 points. Also, athletes present the same orthorexic behavior compared to non-athletes, demonstrating that orthorexia is an issue that needs to be considered in the general population. Moreover, a special focus should be given on the ORTO-15 questionnaire, about the sensitivity to diagnose the prevalence of orthorexia, especially in athletes.
Resumo Contexto Pacientes com úlceras venosas reportam múltiplas comorbidades e são mais propensos a ser fisicamente inativos. A sarcopenia e a fragilidade aumentam a vulnerabilidade de um indivíduo para maior dependência e/ou morte. Objetivos Verificar presença da sarcopenia e fragilidade em pacientes portadores de úlceras venosas crônicas. Métodos Estudo observacional e transversal, realizado com 9 pacientes com idade média de 67,4 ± 8,42 anos e portadores de úlcera venosa nos membros inferiores classificadas no Consenso Internacional de Doenças Venosas Crônicas (CEAP) em estágio 6. Para identificação e classificação da sarcopenia, foi avaliada a força (dinamometria manual), a velocidade da marcha (teste de caminhada de 10 metros) e a massa muscular (circunferência da panturrilha). Para triagem de fragilidade, foram utilizados os critérios de Fried: perda de peso não intencional, fadiga, redução da força e da velocidade da caminhada e baixa atividade física. Resultados O fenótipo de fragilidade foi mais frequente (n = 9; 100%) em relação à sarcopenia (n = 1; 11,1%). Entre os critérios de Fried, os mais frequentes foram a exaustão (n = 9; 100%), seguida pela baixa atividade física (n = 8; 88,8%) e fraqueza muscular (n = 5; 55%). Por fim, o critério menos frequente foi a diminuição da velocidade da marcha (n = 2; 22,2%). No diagnóstico de sarcopenia, foi observada redução da força associada à redução da massa muscular (n = 1; 11,1%). Conclusões Pacientes com úlceras venosas crônicas apresentam condição de fragilidade ou pré-fragilidade, enquanto a condição de sarcopenia foi pouco frequente.
This study aimed to examine the effects of Simple Reaction Time (SRT), MaximalOxygen Uptake ( V ? V ? O2max) and Maximal Anaerobic Power (Pmax) on the performance of category A recreational adult orienteers of both sexes. Sixteen subjects (8 men and 8 women; age: 30 ± 4 and 27 ± 5 years; body mass 78.8 ± 5.9 and 69.2 ± 10.4 kg; SRT: 1.391 ± 0.19 and 1.317 ± 0.25 ms; V ? V ? O2max: 67.4 ± 3.22 and 48.5 ± 8.28 ml.kg-1.min-1; Pmax: 675.0 ± 149.6 and 458.4 ± 88.62 W), were submitted to three evaluation sessions: sample characterization (1st session); SRT - Reaction Time Task v.2.0, V ? V ? O2max, and Pmax - Running Anaerobic Sprint Test (2nd session); official Orienteering test (3rd session). Results of comparison (Student’s T-test) and relation (Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and Multiple Linear Regression) tests showed significant relationships between independent variables and performance. Pmax presented strong predictive power in the male group (41%), followed by SRT (32%) and V ? V ? O2max (27%). In the female group, SRT was the most predictive variable (54%), followed by V ? V ? O2max (32%) and Pmax (12%). These findings indicated that SRT, V ? V ? O2max, and Pmax are variables predictive of performance in recreational category A orienteers. Specifically in recreational orienteers with high cardiorespiratory capacities, Pmax seems to be the mainpredictor variable. Conversely, SRT becomes the variable with the greatest predictive power.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
