“…This is in accordance with previous research in children with cystic fibrosis [4, 5], where lean body mass and upper arm muscle area, as parameters of muscle bulk, were strong predictors of respiratory muscle strength. A previous study of reference values for grip strength in healthy children also showed that FFM is an important predictor of grip strength [27]. In contrast, our results suggest that BMI and/or the percentage of body fat are not related to respiratory muscle strength in healthy children.…”

Background: Measurement of respiratory muscle function is important in the diagnosis of respiratory muscle disease, respiratory failure, to assess the impact of chronic diseases, and/or to evaluate respiratory muscle function after treatment. Objectives: To establish reference values for maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure, and the tension-time index at rest in healthy children and adolescents aged 8–19 years, as well as to present sex- and age-related reference centiles normalized for demographic and anthropometric determinants. Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, demographic, anthropometric, and spirometric data were assessed, as well as data on respiratory muscle strength (P_Imax and P_Emax) and work of breathing at rest (T_T0.1), in a total of 251 children (117 boys and 134 girls; mean age 13.4 ± 2.9 years). Reference values are presented as reference centiles developed by use of the lambda, mu, sigma method. Results: Boys had significantly higher P_Imax and P_Emax values. Next to sex and age, fat-free mass appeared to be an important predictor of respiratory muscle strength. Reference centiles demonstrated a slight, almost linear increase in P_Imax with age in boys, and a less steep increase with age in girls. T_T0.1 values did not differ between boys and girls and decreased linearly with age. Conclusion: This study provides reference values for respiratory muscle strength and work of breathing at rest. In addition to sex and age, fat-free mass was found to be an important predictor of respiratory muscle strength in boys and girls.

“…This relationship had already been attested in stroke patients, and it was concluded that grip strength is a suitable phenotype for identifying genetic variants of importance to mild and late-life physical functioning. 33 In the study by de Souza et al, 34 grip strength was most positively correlated with fat-free mass and height (r Q 0.75). Therefore, we investigated the body mass index and height before the intervention, which were used to minimize the confounding factor of body fat and to maintain the muscle quality homogeneity.…”

“…Verifica-se a presença de fadiga quando ocorre declínio da CVM no decorrer do tempo. Alguns dos equipamentos mais utilizados são: o dinamômetro de medida da preensão palmar (dinamômetro de bulbo) (MARTIN, 2006;TOLEDO, 2012;SOUZA et al, 2014), dinamômetro manual (handheld) e o dinamômetro isocinético (KILMER et al, 1994;LINDEMAN et al, 1999;BACK;MATTIELLO-SVERZUT, 2007).…”

As variáveis analisadas foram: picos de torques isométrico (PTI) e isocinético (PT), torque relativo (TR= PT/PTI), trabalho (W), potência (P), tempo para atingir o pico de torque (tPT) e fadiga. Para análise estatística foram utilizados os testes t-Student, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney e MANOVA, considerando o nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: As crianças e adolescentes com MMC e seus pares mostraram homogeneidade estatística quanto a dominância, massa corporal, estatura, massa gorda, massa magra, níveis de maturação sexual e de atividade física (p>0,05). Não houve diferença entre os grupos para força de preensão palmar (p>0,05), porém, houve diferença na força muscular isométrica obtida pelo DHH para os músculos flexores do ombro e cotovelo, bilateralmente (p˂0,05). Na avaliação isocinética, alguns voluntários do GND, principalmente, não atingiram as velocidades mínimas pré-estabelecidas para os movimentos de abdução, flexão do ombro e do cotovelo. A análise estatística somente mostrou diferença entre os grupos para TR60 (flexores de ombro) e TR120 (extensores do ombro e cotovelo), com o GND apresentando maiores valores; e tPT60 (extensores de ombro) e tPT120 (flexores e extensores do cotovelo), com o GND apresentando menores valores (p˂0,05). A análise dos dados de fadiga mostrou diferença estatística quando foi comparada a evolução entre as repetições intergrupo para os adutores do ombro e flexores e extensores do cotovelo, e quando foram comparadas as repetições intragrupo para os flexores do cotovelo no GCT (p˂0,05 Introduction:The myelomeningocele (MMC) or cystic spina bifida is caused by the defect of the neural tube, resulting from the merger failure of the posterior elements of the spine and spinal cord dysplasia, with sensory-motor paralysis of the lower limbs.
