Purpose: To verify the systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) response after resistance and aerobic exercises in different combinations. Methods: Nine normotensive men performed in non-consecutive days a single session of aerobic exercise (cycle ergometer; 60% of VO2 peak; 50 min) plus resistance exercises (eight exercises; three sets; 10-15 reps; 60% of 1RM) and a single session of resistance exercises plus aerobic exercise. SBP, DBP, MAP, HR and HRV were evaluated at rest and at each 10 min (during 60 min) after exercises. Results: Difference between sessions has not been found. In the session which initiated with the aerobic exercise, SBP decreased in the total mean post-exercise period (resting = 121.3 ± 3.9; post = 114.4 ± 2.1 mmHg) while HR increased (resting = 75.8 ± 4.3; post = 89.5 ± 5.8 bpm). On the other hand, there was no difference in the DBP, MAP or HRV. Conclusion: The exercise sessions order does not alter cardiovascular and autonomic post-exercise response in normotensive subjects.
ResumoO objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar o discurso sobre alguns elementos da participação em grupos de prática de atividade física (AF) em usuários de programas oferecidos por duas Unidades Básicas de Saúde na cidade de Londrina/PR. Foi realizado estudo transversal, com abordagem qualitativa. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevista semi-estruturada. Os 105 usuários dos programas de AF foram divididos em cinco quintis, de acordo com a assiduidade. Foram entrevistados os sujeitos do quintil com maior assiduidade (n=21) e do com menor assiduidade (n=21). Na análise das entrevistas, utilizou-se a análise categorial de conteúdos preconizada por Bardin. Em linhas gerais as falas revelaram que os sujeitos gostam de praticar AF, dentro ou fora do grupo, que os sentimentos vivenciados durantes as atividades eram positivos, que a motivação de familiares foi considerada importante fator de assiduidade ao programa, que muitos usuários observam melhorias na sua saúde com a participação no programa e que, entre os usuários com menor assiduidade, questões interpessoais, especialmente compromissos familiares, foram importantes para o não comparecimento em algumas atividades. Recomenda-se que a questão da aderência aos programas de AF seja levada em consideração no planejamento e replanejamento das ações, inclusive refletindo sobre as características dos programas ofertados (horário, local, tipo de atividades, etc).

Introduction: Despite the importance of appropriate levels of muscular strength to maintain the functional capacity and a healthy life in old age, the current literature still lacks studies that investigate the profile of elderly women who practice Mat Pilates regarding these variables. Objective: This study aimed to analyze muscular strength, functional capacity, and risk of sarcopenia in elderly women who practiced Mat Pilates. Method: This is a cross-sectional study carried out with 50 elderly women who practice Mat Pilates in the city of Maringá, Paraná. Sociodemographic and health questionnaires were used, in addition to tests created by a Latin American development group for maturity called Grupo de Desenvolvimento Latino Americano para a Maturidade (GDLAM), sitting-rising test, arm curl test, and SARC-F questionnaire. For data analysis, Shapiro-Wilk and Mann-Whitney U tests, as well as Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficients, were used. The level of significance was p < 0.05. Results: The 70-79-year-old elderly women showed worse results in the functional capacity and muscular strength tests of the upper limbs and a higher risk of sarcopenia than the individuals who were under 70 years of age. Muscular strength was inversely related to the reduction of the risk of sarcopenia, and functional capacity was directly associated with this risk. Conclusion: A good functional capacity seems to be related to the reduction of the risk of sarcopenia. Age seems to be an intervening factor for reducing muscular strength levels and functional capacity and increasing the risk of sarcopenia.
