Item Bone mineral density of rat femurs after hindlimb unloading and different physical rehabilitation programs(Revista Ceres, 2011-07-05) Barbosa, Adelton Andrade; Carlo, Ricardo Junqueira Del; Galvão, Simone Rezende; Vilela, Marcelo José; Louzada, Mário Jefferson Quirino; Brito, Ana Flora Sousa; Natali, Antonio JoséBone weakening can occur due to the absence of load on the skeleton or even short periods of decreased physical activity. Therefore, musculoskeletal diseases that involve temporary immobilization by casts, inactivity or tension increases the risk of fractures. Physical activity is the most studied procedure both to prevent damage and to restore bone structure. The present study aimed at evaluating, by bone densitometry on rat femurs, the influence of hindlimb unloading and later running activity on treadmill or free movement. Sixty-four Wistar rats were used, aged 65 days with a mean corporal mass of 316.11g, randomly divided into eight experimental groups: group 1, the suspended control with seven animals under hindlimb unloading regimen for 28 days, then euthanized; groups 2 and 3, the trained suspended comprising of 7 and five animals, respectively, subjected to hindlimb unloading for 28 days, followed by treadmill exercise for 28 days (group 2) or 56 days (group 3), then euthanized; groups 4 and 5, designated free suspended, comprised of 7 animals each under hindlimb unloading regimen for 28 days followed by free activity in cages for 28 days (group 4) or 56 days (group 5), then euthanized; groups 6, 7 and 8, negative controls, each with 8 animals allowed to free activity in cages and euthanized at the ages of 93, 121 and 149 days, respectively. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the left femur was analyzed by bone densitometry. Unloading by tail-suspension decreased BMD while treadmill training and free activity in cages promoted its recovery in a similar way and over time.Item Treinamento físico para indivíduos HIV positivo submetidos à HAART: efeitos sobre parâmetros antropométricos e funcionais(Revista Brasileira de Medicina do Esporte, 2013-01) Mendes, Edmar Lacerda; Andaki, Alynne Christian Ribeiro; Amorim, Paulo Roberto dos Santos; Natali, Antonio José; Brito, Ciro José; Paula, Sérgio Oliveira deThe use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has improved the prognosis of HIV-infected individuals. However, HAART has been associated with the development of metabolic and fat distribution abnormalities, known as HIV-associated lipodystrophy syndrome (HIVALS). This study investigated the impact of 24 weeks of resistance exercise with aerobic component (REAC) on anthropometric and functional parameters in HIV-infected patients undergoing HAART. Ninety- nine HIV-infected patients were randomly allocated into four groups: exercise and lipodystrophy (n = 24; EX + LIP); exercise without lipodystrophy (n = 21; EX + NoLIP); control and lipodystrophy (n = 27; NoEX + LIP); control without lipodystrophy (n = 27; NoEX + NoLIP). Subjects from exercised groups (EX+LIP and EX+NoLIP) participated in a 24-week REAC program. Anthropometric, strength and cardiorespiratory fitness tests were assessed at baseline and 24 weeks after intervention. Body circumferences (P < 0.0001) and waist-hip ratio (P = 0.017) changed after 24 weeks of REAC in both exercised groups. The sum of seven skinfolds assessed, body fat percentage, body fat mass, total fat, central fat and peripheral subcutaneous fat reduced (P < 0.0001) in response to REAC. Lean body mass increased (P < 0.0001) in exercised groups, regardless of the outcome (LIP or NoLIP). Strength and cardiorespiratory fitness increased (P < 0.0001) in both exercised groups in response to REAC. 24 weeks of REAC prevented the manifestation of changes arising from HIVLDS and contributed to their reduction.
