Sleep Quality Predicts Functional Disability in Older Adults with Low Back Pain: A Longitudinal Study
(Journal of Applied Gerontology, 2022) [Artigo]Low back pain (LBP) and sleep quality are two very prevalent complaints in the older population. However, little is known about the prognostic relationship between sleep quality and disability in older adults with LBP. The ... -
Effect of physical training on cytokine expression in CD4+ T lymphocytes in subjects with stable COPD
(Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2022) [Artigo]Introduction: Although evidence suggests that physical exercise reduces systemic inflammation, at the plasma level, there are still contradictions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this sense, analysis ... -

(Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira, 2022) [Artigo]OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate if there is a relationship between the number of comorbidities, autonomic modulation, and quality of life in patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease. METHODS: A ... -
Perceptions and preferences of patients with cardiac conditions to the inclusion of virtual reality-based therapy with conventional cardiovascular rehabilitation: A qualitative study
(Brazilian Journal of Physical Therapy, 2022) [Artigo]Background: Virtual reality-based therapy (VRBT) has been recently used in rehabilitation programs, as it can improve patient's adherence to treatment. However, patients’ acceptance of VRBT has been scarcely investigated. ... -
Fear of falling does not predict self-reported physical activity: an observational study with community-dwelling older adults
(Physiotherapy, 2022) [Artigo]OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationship between FOF and self-reported physical activity levels among older adults. DESIGN: Observational cross-sectional. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Community-dwelling older adults aged ... -
Does length of time since diagnosis in Parkinson’s disease influence heart rate variability? A cross-sectional study
(Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2022) [Artigo]Background: Intrinsic changes in Parkinson’s disease (PD) affect the autonomic nervous system, and the disease course can aggravate the initial condition. Although the impact of time since disease onset on autonomic ... -
Autonomic and cardiovascular responses on post-eccentric exercise recovery with blood flow restriction at different loads: Randomized controlled trial
(European Journal of Integrative Medicine, 2022) [Artigo]Introduction: Resistance training with blood flow restriction (BFR) has emerged as an method to gain strength and hypertrophy. However, the autonomic and cardiovascular repercussions of BFR and whether there is a dose-response ... -
Relationship between heart rate variability and performance in eccentric training with blood flow restriction
(Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, 2022) [Artigo]Background: The resistance training with blood flow restriction (BFR) presents results in strength gain and muscle hypertrophy. However, there are no data that evaluate the long-term adaptation of the autonomic nervous ... -
Acute effects of resistance exercise with blood flow restriction on cardiovascular response: a meta-analysis
(Journal of Comparative Effectiveness Research, 2022) [Artigo]Aim: To compare the acute effects of low-load resistance training associated with blood flow restriction (LLRT-BFR) with low-load resistance training (LLRT) and high-load resistance training (HLRT) on cardiovascular outcomes ... -
Occupational Physical Activity Was Associated With Disability Levels at 6-Month Follow-Up of Patients With Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: A Prospective Cohort Study
(Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 2022) [Artigo]Background: Physical activity plays an important role in the prognosis of chronic low back pain (LBP); however, whether physical activity predicts pain intensity and disability remains unknown. This study investigated ... -
Analysis of the femoral neck from rats in the periestropause treated with oxytocin and submitted to strength training
(Bone, 2022) [Artigo]Among the interventions used to prevent osteoporosis in female organisms, strength training (ST) and oxytocin (OT) stand out, as a promising hormone with anabolic action on bone. This study aimed to verify whether the ... -
