Introduction The increasing prevalence ofsedentary behavior at work, which has been exacerbated by technological advancement and remote work models, can compromise worker health, leading to both physical and mental problems. Increasing research on sedentary behavior has resulted in interventions such as active breaks. Objectives This study addre...

Objectives: To examine neurophysiological changes, strength, and balance in the elderly following a 2-week intervention comprising five sessions of walking combined with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Additionally, to assess correlations between parameters of orthostatic postural balance, strength, and neural excitability. Methods:...

Introdução: Com a tecnologia, o sedentarismo no ambiente de trabalho aumentou. Estudos sobre intervenções para diminuir o comportamento sedentário ocupacional apontam benefícios na percepção do estresse em pessoas que passam a maior parte do dia trabalhando sentado. Objetivo: Investigar se uma rotina de pausas ativas no local de trabalho impacta no...

Introdução: Os estudantes de medicina enfrentam uma rotina intensa e desafiadora, com longas horas de estudos e práticas. Nesse sentido, a falta de tempo, o cansaço e a sobrecarga de estudos representam possíveis limitadores à prática de atividade física diária, impactando negativamente tanto na saúde física, quanto mental. Objetivo: Identificar o...

Article

A number of H-reflex studies used a moderate steady voluntary contraction in an attempt to keep the motoneuron pool excitability relatively constant. However, it is not clear whether the voluntary muscle activation itself represents a confounding factor for the elderly, as a few ongoing mechanisms of reflex modulation might be compromised. Further,...

Background: Effective CSII requires infusion sets to consistently deliver insulin. A novel investigational infusion set has been developed to reduce flow interruptions including sub-alarm 'silent' occlusions. With a pressure-measuring method that reliably reflects fluid flow; we compared the investigational set with the Medtronic Quick-set Ò. The p...
