“…On the contrary, personal patterns of behavior were found to influence sCgA concentrations evaluated during stress relieving activities, such as woodland walking [34], and recently two polymorphisms in CgA gene (rs9658635 in the promoter region, and rs9658655 in exon 6, Glu264Asp) were also reported to modify sCgA [50]. A possible influence of all these factors on our results cannot be completely excluded, since patterns of behavior and genetic polymorphisms were not assessed.…”

“…Nevertheless, results obtained in some of these studies are controversial. Whereas expected decreases in sCgA [25,26,29,32,33,38], or attenuation of sCgA increases [28,30] were observed in some studies, others report raises in sCgA concentrations [27,31,[34][35][36], and mostly explain the increase as related to positive eustress or stress relieving characteristics of the performed activity. Moreover, the effect of a relaxing activity such as spa bathing on sCgA has been described as dependent on the subjects' background stress level: the high-stress group showed lower sCgA levels after spa bathing while the low-stress group presented higher sCgA levels in the same conditions [37].…”

“…sCgA has been used to evaluate psychophysiological changes in stressful situations or activities already mentioned [8,9,[11][12][13][14], usually reporting fast increases in this biomarker concentration. sCgA has been also employed to assess improvement resulting from healthcare modalities-such as aromatherapy [25][26][27], consumption of green tea [28], ingestion of enzyme-treated asparagus extract [29], and Cimifuga racemosa extract administration [30]-or from stress-relieving activities, such as laughter [31,32], gum chewing [33], woodland walking [34,35], short leisure trips [36], spa bathing [37], or exposure to negative air ions [38]. Nevertheless, results obtained in some of these studies are controversial.…”

Salivary chromogranin A (sCgA) is gaining attention as a biomarker of psychological stress. The objective of this work was to determine whether individualized music intervention and multisensory stimulation environment (MSSE) in a Snoezelen room produce changes in sCgA in severely demented older patients, and to assess the possible existence of differences in sCgA levels between the two types of interventions. Older adults with severe dementia (n = 22) were randomly assigned to two intervention groups. They participated in MSSE or individualized music interventions in 30-min weekly sessions for 16 weeks. Levels of sCgA were evaluated before and after a session, or 30-min interval, at four different time points: before starting the trial, in the middle and end of the intervention period, and two months later. Comparison of sCgA values obtained after each session with those obtained before (or at the same hour in before trial and follow-up samplings) showed no significant differences either in the individualized music or in the MSSE group at any sampling time. Comparison between the two types of interventions, both before and after each session, in the four sampling times, did not produce any significant difference either. Furthermore, no significant correlation was obtained between agitation, anxiety, cognitive function, and dementia severity with sCgA levels. In conclusion, despite beneficial effects of both individualized music and MSSE interventions being previously reported on neuropsychiatric outcomes for older patients with dementia, sCgA seems to not be a good indicator of these benefits.

“…Toda et al 28 relatam que o TCC tem efeito significativamente mais benéfico nos domínios bem-estar emocional (depressão, humor, raiva e confusão) e bem-estar físico (fadiga) nos portadores de uma personalidade "impaciente" do que naqueles classificados como "calmos". Taylor-Piliae et al 29 apontam que um fator que pode levar a erro nos resultados é o estudo ser feito em grupo étnico asiático, que possui a tradição cultural de não mostrar emoções negativas em público e se conformar com as regras sociais.…”

a RESUMOOBJETIVO: Avaliar efeitos do Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) na capacidade funcional (CF) e na qualidade de vida (QV) de homens idosos com baixa densidade mineral óssea (DMO). MÉTODO: Estudo quasi-experimental, controlado, cego, com 41 idosos (≥ 60 anos) divididos em dois grupos: grupo experimental -G1 (TCC; n = 20; 69,2 ± 6,2 anos) e grupo controle -G2 (controle; n = 21; 69,0 ± 5,7 anos). A DMO (coluna lombar e colo do fêmur) foi avaliada com raios-x de dupla energia (DEXA). Para aferir CF foram utilizados: testes de resistência aeróbia (RA); de força e flexibilidade de membros superiores e inferiores; de equilíbrio em condições estática, dinâmica e funcional; e de alcance funcional, assim como para risco de quedas. A QV foi pesquisada pelo questionário SF-36 (MOS 36 ltem Short-Form Health Survey). O G1 praticou TCC estilo Yang, com 24 movimentos por 12 semanas, 2 vezes por semana, em intensidade leve; o G2 não praticou atividade física orientada. RESULTADOS: Praticantes de TCC apresentaram valores significativamente maiores em resistência aeróbia, em força de membros superiores e inferiores, e para equilíbrio dinâmico. Ao aferir a QV, surgiu significância para escore total, assim como para as dimensões de capacidade funcional, estado geral de saúde, vitalidade e saúde mental. DISCUSSÃO: Constataram-se efeitos benéficos do TCC em CF e QV, o que agrega evidências à sua utilização em homens idosos com baixa DMO. CONCLUSÃO: O TCC é eficaz na melhora da CF e da QV em homens idosos com baixa DMO. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: tai chi chuan; idoso; osteoporose; qualidade de vida. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE:The purpose was to assess the effect of Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) on functional capacity (FC) and quality of life (QoL) in elderly men with low bone mineral density (BMD). METHODS: This quasi-experimental, controlled blinded trial evaluated 41 senior men (≥ 60 years), divided into two groups: control group 1 -G1 (TCC; n = 20; 69.2 ± 6.2 years) and control group 2 -G2 (control; n = 21; 69.0 ± 5.7 years). The BMD (of lumbar spine and femur neck) was assessed by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). FC was assessed for aerobic endurance, for upper and lower limbs strength and flexibility, for static, dynamic and functional balance testes, and for risk of falls. QoL was assessed by the SF-36 questionnaire (MOS 36-item Short-Form Health Survey). G1 practiced the 24-form Yang style of TCC, for 12 weeks twice a week on low intensity; G2 did not practice oriented physical activity. RESULTS: TCC practitioners had significantly higher scores for aerobic endurance, upper and lower limbs strength, and dynamic balance. In terms of QoL, values were significantly better in total score and aspects such as FC, general health, vitality, and mental health. DISCUSSION: TCC was proven beneficial to FC and QoL scores, which adds evidence for its practice by elderly men with low BMD. CONCLUSION: TCC training is effective in improving FC and QoL in elderly men with low BMD.

“…El TCC ha sido relacionado con la capacidad de producir numerosos beneficios sobre la salud física y mental de sus practicantes: a nivel cardiorrespiratorio (Brown et al, 1989), sobre la osteoartritis (Brismeé et al, 2007;Ni et al, 2010;Song et al, 2003), el equilibrio (Fong & Ng, 2006;Gyllensten et al, 2010;Tsang et al, 2004;Wong et al, 2001), el miedo a las caídas (Taggart, 2002;Wolf et al, 1996;Zhang et al, 2006), la depresión, la ansiedad, el ánimo y el estrés (Brown et al, 1995;Galantino et al, 2005;Jin, 1989;Taylor et al, 2006;Toda et al, 2011), la autoestima (Blake y Batson, 2009), la auto-eficacia (Dechamps et al, 2009;Lee et al, 2009;Taylor y Froelicher, 2004), etc. A nivel psicológico, se ha catalogado incluso como "meditación en forma de movimiento" por la capacidad del TCC de sumir a sus practicantes en estados de gran tranquilidad y relajación mental (Taylor et al, 2006;Wang et al, 2010a).…”

. ARTÍCULO DE REVISIÓN ResumenObjetivo: Este artículo hace un análisis de los estudios internacionales realizados con relación a los efectos del tai chi chuan (también conocido como taichí, taiji o taijiquan) sobre el sueño en sus practicantes con el fin de clarificar el marco de investigación desde el que se está abordando esta problemática, cuáles son sus efectos y las causas que los producen. Método: La búsqueda bibliográfica se realizó sobre siete bases de datos internacionales hasta octubre del año 2011. Resultados/Conclusiones: Los trabajos de revisión realizados sobre el tema son muy escasos y abordan un escaso número de estudios; mientras que los estudios específicos confirman un tendencia positiva respecto a que el tai chi chuan produce una mejora significativa sobre la estabilidad (interrupción del sueño) y la calidad (eficacia y duración) del sueño nocturno, y una mejora general sobre el sueño diurno, aunque para disfrutar de tales beneficios es necesario un tiempo mínimo de práctica. Las causas fisiológicas que conducen a esta mejora están todavía por determinar.Palabras clave: Tai chi chuan, trastornos de sueño, calidad de sueño, calidad de vida. Effects of Tai Chi Chuan practice on sleep quality Abstract Aim:This paper reviews international studies on the effects of Tai Chi Chuan (a.k.a. taichi, taiji or taijiquan) on sleep with the aim of clarifying the research framework, which are its causes and effects. Method: The literature search was carried out on the basis of seven international databases on October 2011. Results/Conclusions: The review works on the subject are scarce and address a small number of studies, while specific works confirm that tai chi chuan produces a significant improvement over the stability (sleep disruption) and quality (efficacy and duration) of nighttime sleep, and an overall improvement on daytime sleep, although to enjoy these benefits its required a minimum of practice. The physiological causes that lead to this improvement are still to be determined.Keywords: Tai Chi Chuan, sleep disorders, sleep quality, quality of life.
