RESUMO: A osteoartrite (OA) é uma doença articular degenerativa, caracterizada por processo inflamatório, dor e deformidades; um de seus fatores preditivos é a obesidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar possíveis correlações entre medidas antropométricas, o ângulo quadricipital (Q) e a osteoartrite de joelho. A amostra foi composta por 50 voluntárias obesas (30 com OA de joelho e 20 sem OA), com idade entre 40 e 60 anos. Foram mensurados, além do IMC (índice de massa corporal), circunferência abdominal (CA), perímetros de cintura e quadril para cálculo da relação cintura-quadril e o ângulo Q; a osteoartrite foi diagnosticada clinicamente e por meio de radiografia da articulação do joelho. Foram encontradas correlações positivas fracas entre IMC e ângulo Q e entre tempo de obesidade e grau de degeneração articular. A CA apresentou correlação positiva fraca com o grau de degeneração articular e o de gravidade da OA. O cálculo da razão de chance (OR) indica que as voluntárias com IMC>34 kg/m 2 e CA>110 cm tiveram 3,7 e 7 vezes, respectivamente, mais chance de apresentarem OA. A obesidade central, seu grau e duração possivelmente contribuem para a incidência da OA de joelhos em mulheres obesas. A circunferência abdominal foi a medida que melhor se correlacionou com a presença e grau de OA em obesas, o que aponta para a relevância de sua mensuração na avaliação clínica. DESCRITORES: Antropometria; Mulheres; Obesidade; Osteoartrite do joelho ABSTRACT: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by inflammatory process, pain, and deformity; one of its main predictive factors is obesity. The aim of this study was to search for possible correlations between anthropometric measures, the Q angle and knee osteoarthritis. A sample of 50 obese women (30 with knee osteoarthritis and 20 with no joint disease), aged between 40 to 60 years, were assessed as to BMI (body mass index), abdominal circumference (AC), waist and hip perimeters (so as to calculate waist-hip ratio), and the Q angle; osteoarthritis was diagnosed by clinical exam and knee joint radiography. Results showed a positive, poor correlation between BMI and Q angle, as well as between time of obesity onset and degree of joint degeneration. AC was found to positively, though weakly, correlate with the degree of joint degeneration and of OA severity. Adjusted odds ratio for OA showed that women with BMI>34 kg/m 2 and AC>110 cm were respectively 3.7 and 7 times more likely to develop OA. The degree and duration of central obesity possibly contribute to incidence of knee OA in obese women. Abdominal circumference was the measure that most correlated with the degree of joint degeneration and of OA severity, which suggests it should be used in clinical evaluation.

Open Access Research ArticleVentilation occurs through the coordinated contraction of specific muscle groups, which in inspiration produces enough energy to distend the pulmonary structures [3,5]. In the healthy individual the ventilatory requirements during exercise, are easily achieved because the breathing muscles are anatomically suited for increasing ventilatory requirements and neural regulation of respiration is ideal [6].It should be emphasized that the accessory respiratory muscles are progressively recruited with the increased ventilatory demand. Thus, sharing the load required to bear hyperpnea, shallow and rapid breathing that occurs during exercise [6,7].Among the respiratory muscles recruited during exercise, the external intercostal sternum sternums are considered important because of their important postural and respiratory role in stabilizing and maintaining the shape and integrity of the rib cage when the ribs elevate and expand the chest during inspiration. The sternocleidomastoid is also considered by some authors the most important accessory muscle of inspiration along with the upper trapezius whose ventilatory role is to assist in the inspiration on effort helping to raise the rib cage [8].Understanding the physiological changes of the respiratory muscles before physical effort is a largely explored subject in exercise physiology. The proper functioning of these muscles results in an improvement of the performance of elite athletes, besides its great importance for chronic lung diseases, Parkinson's, and cardiovascular disorders whose clinical changes result in weakness of these muscles [9]. AbstractDuring exercise, the muscles involved inbreathing is progressively recruited due to increased demand in respiratory effort. Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a technique that allows evaluation of these muscles providing information on the recruitment of motor units. The aim of this study was describe the electrical activity of the upper trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and intercostal sternum muscles in active and sedentary young subjects during incremental exercise test. Cross-sectional research design, including 20 young adults of both genders, aged 18to 36 years participated of study. The EMG signal amplitudes were analyzed in the time domain from muscular activity of the upper trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and intercostal sternum muscles, in relation to the variation of the load imposed on the incremental exercise. A mixed linear adjustments model was used to study the effects of the load, groups (active and sedentary) and the interaction (load x group) .The results there was no significant difference between-groups and interaction effects (group x load). Significant increase in the EMG signal amplitude was however found during the increase of the load for the three muscles studied. There was an increase in the amplitude of the electromyographic signal of accessories respiratory muscles in relation to the load increase during incremental exercise test.

“…The questionnaire has as reference period the last 12 months and it comprises 16 questions, which are distributed in three distinct sections: 1) occupational physical activities (OPA); 2) free-time physical activities (FTPA); and 3) leisure and locomotion physical activities (LPA) [16][17][18] . In order to determine the association between the levels of physical activity and the RF in each category and for the total score, the volunteers were sorted out in two groups (active or sedentary) taking in consideration the value of the mean of each score.…”

Introduction: Physical activity (PA) practice presents an inverse relation with risk factors (RF) of cardiovascular disease, with positive effects in quality of life and other physical and psychological variables. However, the benefits of daily activities have not been established. Objective: To investigate the prevalence and association of cardiovascular risk factors and physical activity in different categories of patients under a cardiac rehabilitation program. Methods: 69 participants of a cardiac rehabilitation program were evaluated and weight, height and blood pressure were checked. Afterwards, the patients answered questionnaires to assess self-reported physical activity level, stress level and verify the presence of RF. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratio. Results: High prevalence of RF was found in the subjects, age and hypertension were more prevalent while smoking and stress had lower prevalence. Most individuals were classified as sedentary, except for locomotion PA (LPA). Conclusion: That there is high prevalence of RF in patients attending cardiac rehabilitation programs, while sedentary ones are more likely to have the RF hypertension, obesity, smoking, alcohol and stress than the active ones, depending on the PA category.
