Abstract: The aged population is increasing rapidly across the world and this is expected to continue. People living in residential aged care facilities (RACFs) represent amongst the sickest and frailest cohort of the aged population, with a high prevalence of chronic conditions and complex comorbidities. Given the vulnerability of RACF residents and the demands on the system, there is a need to determine the extent that care is delivered in line with best practice (‘appropriate care’) in RACFs. There is also a recognition that systems should provide care that optimises quality of life (QoL), which includes support for physical and psychological well-being, independence, social relationships, personal beliefs and a caring external environment. The aims of CareTrack Aged are to develop sets of indicators for appropriate care and processes of care for commonly managed conditions, and then assess the appropriateness of care delivered and QoL of residents in RACFs in Australia. We will extract recommendations from clinical practice guidelines and, using expert review, convert these into sets of indicators for 15 common conditions and processes of care for people living in RACFs. We will recruit RACFs in three Australian states, and residents within these RACFs, using a stratified multistage s ling method. Experienced nurses, trained in the CareTrack Aged methods (‘surveyors’), will review care records of recruited residents within a 1-month period in 2019 and 2020, and assess the care documented against the indicators of appropriate care. Surveyors will concurrently assess residents’ QoL using validated questionnaires. The study has been reviewed and approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of Macquarie University (5201800386). The research findings will be published in international and national journals and disseminated through conferences and presentations to interested stakeholder groups, including consumers, national agencies, healthcare professionals, policymakers and researchers.

Abstract: Introdução: Especula-se que uma modalidade tão intensa como o Treinamento Intervalado de Alta Intensidade poderia ser um dos fatores para gerar um maior número de lesões em corredores. Objetivo: Revisar, na literatura, estudos que registram lesões provocadas pelo treinamento intervalado de alta intensidade em praticantes recreativos ou profissionais de corrida. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão da literatura utilizando as bases de dados LILACS (Literatu¬ra Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde), MEDLINE (US National Library of Medicine), SciELO (Scientific Eletronic Library Online) com os descritores "high intensity interval training", "injury", "running" e “runners” com suas variações. A pesquisa foi limitada com base na disponibilidade de texto (texto completo disponível), data de publicação (de janeiro de 2000 a março 2020), espécies (humanos), sem restrição de idioma. Foi permitida inclusão de qualquer modalidade de corredores (recreativos e profissionais). Foram excluídos da pesquisa os artigos que não utilizavam HIIT ou que não apresentavam relação entre treinamento e lesões. Resultados: Foram eleitos 32 artigos para a leitura do re¬sumo e excluídos os que não condiziam com o propósito deste estudo. Foram selecionados 7 artigos que preenchiam os critérios propostos e foram seguidos, nessa ordem, os seguintes passos: leitura exploratória análise dos tex¬tos, finalizando com a realização de leitura interpretati¬va e redação. Conclusão: Ainda há poucos estudos que investigaram a ocorrência de lesões com a prática do treinamento intervalado de alta intensidade em corredores. Dos estudos encontrados, as amostras eram pequenas e se apresentavam em diferentes tipos de corredores como de elite e recreativos.

Abstract: To evaluate the functional and exercise capacity, lung function, quality of life of children and adolescents with sickle cell anemia (SCA HbSS) and to test the reproducibility of functional capacity tests in this population. Cross‐sectional study with volunteers with SCA Hb‐SS (SCAG), aged 6–18 years matched in age and gender to the control group (CG) with healthy in iduals. Spirometry, 5‐repetition sit‐to‐stand test (5STS‐test), modified shuttle test (MST), and Pediatric Quality of Life Questionnaire (PedsQL) were performed. The reproducibility of 5STS‐test and MST was evaluated: Forty eight volunteers of SCAG and 48 of CG were evaluated. Lung function of SCAG (FVC: 92 ± 15% pred. FEV 1 /FVC: 84 ± 8% pred.) was worse than the CG (104 ± 15% pred. FEV 1 /FVC: 90 ± 6% pred.) p 0.05. SCAG had worse functional capacity registered by distance walked: 576 m (515–672 m) and 5STS‐test: 8 s (7.4–8.9 s) compared with the CG who showed distance walked: 1010 m (887–1219 m) and 5STS‐test: 7 s (7.0–8.1 s), p 0.001. SCAG had worse quality of life compared to CG, p 0.05. The reproducibility of MST (ICC 0.99 (0.98–0.99 IC‐95%)) and 5STS‐test (ICC 0.80 (0.69–0.88) was considered good, p 0.001. Children and adolescents with sickle cell anemia presented worse capacity to walk or run, and to perform sit‐to‐stand test when compared with their control peers. Additionally, they have poorer quality of life. The MST and 5STS‐test showed good reproducibility to be applied in pediatric in iduals with SCA.

Abstract: To systematically review the effectiveness of physical therapy interventions in infants, children and adolescents with brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI). Systematic review of randomized controlled trials including patients under 18 years old with BPBI was conducted on Medline, Cochrane, Embase, Amed and Pedro databases. Methodological quality was assessed by the PEDro score and quality of evidence by the GRADE system. The primary outcomes measured were range of motion, muscle strength and bone mineral density. Seven studies were included, two in infant and 5 in children, of 932 title and abstracts screened. The interventions, characteristics of the participants and outcomes were erse. The largest effect was found when other intervention was combined with conventional physical therapy in the primary outcomes, with low quality of evidence. Physical therapy interventions alone or in combination with other treatment modalities are effective in improving short-term disabilities in children with BPBI.

Abstract: It is known that a single session of high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) contributes to the increase of the reactive species of oxygen, accompanied by a greater antioxidant activity. However, it is poorly understood if a single session of HIIE has similar effects on the brain tissue. This study evaluated the effects of a single HIIE on the hippoc al redox status. Sixteen males Wistar rats were allocated into HIIE (n = 8) and control (n = 8) groups. Maximum oxygen consumption (VO

Abstract: O fisioterapeuta, um profissional da área da saúde que atua diretamente no atendimento de pessoas com deficiência, poderia auxiliar na luta contra as ersas opressões sofridas pelas pessoas com deficiência. O objetivo do estudo foi gerar uma discussão sobre como o fisioterapeuta pode contribuir nas lutas sociais de pessoas com deficiência no país. Tal profissional deve ser encorajado a questionar o sistema. É uma profissão que possui um locus social visto como superior em relação às pessoas com deficiência. Ao entender como nossa profissão também reproduz ideias capacitistas e como nossas ações afetam diretamente a vida social das pessoas com deficiência, podemos então entender a pessoa com deficiência também como um membro pertencente na sociedade que deve ter seus direitos de cidadão preservados e que devemos auxiliar nas suas lutas contra uma sociedade opressora.

Abstract: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is associated with better physical performance, but there is limited information about the effects of HIIT on redox state of cerebellar tissue, cerebral cortex, and cognition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of HIIT on redox state parameters in cerebellar tissue, cerebral cortex, and cognitive function of Wistar rats. Forty-three young male Wistar rats were housed under controlled environmental conditions with food, and water ad libitum. Animals were assigned to HIIT or Non-trained groups. HIIT protocol was performed during six weeks. Speed was determined through the assesstment of the maximum oxygen consumption (VO

Abstract: To investigate the cardiorespiratory responses to the 6-min pegboard and ring test (6PBRT) and to assess its reproducibility in healthy adolescents. It was a cross-sectional study with 52 healthy adolescents (11-18 years old of both genders). The 6PBRT was performed twice on two different days by the same examiner. Intra-rater reliability, percentage of the minimal difference chance (MDC%) and agreement of the number of moving rings were analyzed. Also, cardiopulmonary parameters were collected before and after tests. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for the number of rings moved was 0.87 (95%CI 0.69-0.93). The mean number of moved rings during the second test was higher. The MDC% with a 95 % confidence interval was greater than acceptable values. Bland-Altman analysis did not show agreement between measurements (bias = 30.1) with upper and lower limits of agreement of -67.8 to 127.9, respectively. There was a significant increase in dyspnea, fatigue and HR values at the end of the tests (p < 0.0001). In both tests, participants reached HR equivalent to 48 % of the maximum predicted. Together, the results suggest that the 6PBRT is not a reliable measure for a population of healthy adolescents, which indicates the necessity to perform more than one test. The 6PBRT is suggested to be a submaximal test for this population.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Given the gap in the literature regarding the peak of oxygen consumption (VO2peak) for adolescents of both sexes, this study aimed to propose an equation to predict the VO2peak in healthy adolescents using the Modified Shuttle Test (MST). This is a cross-sectional study with 84 healthy adolescents between 12 and 18 years old, female and male. The MST is an external paced test, in which the speed increases at each minute. Two MST were performed with at least 30 minutes of rest between them. The test with the longest walked distance was considered for analysis. VO2 was directly monitored by an open circuit spirometry. Mean age was 14.67±1.82 and the walked distance was 864.86±263.48m. Variables included in the prediction equation were walked distance and sex, explaining the VO2peak variability of 53% during MST performance. The prediction equation for VO2peak with the MST was: predicted VO2peak=18.274+(0.18×Distance Walked, meters)+(7.733×Sex) R2=0.53 and p .0001 (sex: 0 for girls, 1 for boys). This MST equation, proposed to predict VO2peak in healthy adolescents of both sexes, can be used as a reference to assess exercise capacity in healthy adolescents and to investigate cardiopulmonary function in adolescents with reduced functional capacity.

Abstract: Although High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) are being associated to increase cardiovascular and metabolic adaptation, there is controversy and limited information about the effects of HIIT on hippoc al oxidative stress, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines balance and neurotrophic status. Thus, this study evaluated the effects of six weeks of HIIT on hippoc al redox state (oxidative damage and enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defenses), neuroimmune mediators (TNFα, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-10) and brain-derived neurotrophic (BDNF) levels. After six weeks of HIIT young adults male Wistar rats presented reduced oxidative damage and increased enzymatic (superoxide dismutase) and non-enzymatic activity in hippoc us. Moreover HIIT induced a decrease in cytokine content (TNFα, IL-6, IL-1β and IL-10) and enhanced hippoc al BDNF levels. In conclusion, the present study showed for the first time a positive effect of six weeks of HIIT on reducing hippoc al oxidative stress by decreasing lipoperoxidation and inflammatory markers, as well enhancing antioxidant defenses and BDNF content.

Abstract: Inflammation caused by chronic lung disease in childhood may lead to delayed heart rate recovery (HRR) however, there is lack of evidence on HRR in this population. The aim was to assess HRR after functional capacity testing in asthmatic children and adolescents and to compare with severity and disease control. This was a study secondary to a randomized control trial. The modified shuttle test (MST) was performed to assess functional capacity and HRR. This is an externally cadenced test in which the distance walked is the outcome. HRR was assessed after MST and was defined as HR at exercise peak minus HR in the second minute after the end of exercise. Asthma control was assessed by the Asthma Control Test (ACT). Data normality was tested by Shapiro Wilk and the comparison between groups was made by Student’s t test or Mann Whitney test for numerical variables, and by Chi-square test for categorical variables. Statistical significance was considered when p 0.05. SPSS version 20 was used in the analyzes. The s le included 77 patients diagnosed with asthma (asthma group - AG) who were regularly treated for asthma. Control group (CG) consisted of 44 volunteers considered healthy, matched in age and gender to AG. The median age of CG was 12 (10–14) years and in AG 11 (9–13 years) being classified as mild to moderate asthmatic, and 57% of the s le had controlled asthma by ACT. Distance walked in the CG was 952 ± 286 m and AG 799 ± 313 m, p = 0.001. HRR was more efficient in CG (79 ± 15 bpm) compared to AG (69 ± 12 bpm), p = 0.001. The mild (69 ± 12 beats) and severe (72 ± 15 beats) AG presented worse HRR compared to control group (79 ± 15 bpm), p 0.05. Asthmatic children and adolescents have delayed HRR after modified Shuttle test compared to their peers, suggesting that asthma leads to autonomic nervous system imbalance.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Whole-body vibration (WBV) has been widely used as a therapeutic resource in pediatric rehabilitation. However, the cardiopulmonary responses are still unknown. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the intensity of dynamic squatting exercise with and without WBV in healthy adolescents in order to characterize cardiorespiratory responses. METHODS: This was a quasi-experimental study. Twenty-five adolescents (14.1 ± 1.7 years), 10 girls and 15 boys, underwent to oxygen consumption (VO2) and heart rate (HR) assessments during a protocol of squatting with and without vibration. Inclusion criteria were age between 12 and 18 years old of both sexes, have normal weight according to BMI. Exclusion criteria were to present chronic or acute, neurological, orthopedic, respiratory, cardiac and endocrine disease and no self-reported contraindication for WBV (i.e. deep vein thrombosis, metal implants, pacemaker, epilepsy, tumors, arterial aneurysm, or arrhythmia). RESULTS: WBV was able to significantly increase VO2, HR and perceived exertion during squatting exercise when compared to rest and squatting without-WBV. WBV associated with squatting reached 24.7% of the VO2max and 56% of the HRmax predicted for age. Subjects during WBV reported a perceived exertion score between somewhat hard and hard compared to between very light and light in the Without-WBV protocol. CONCLUSION: Squatting associated to WBV was considered a light intensity exercise that can be tolerated by healthy adolescents. This study provided valid results of this training modality and could be used as a tool to define the energy consumption spent in this training modality.
