A estética da face em harmonia tem despertado muito interesse no mercado da beleza e a busca por procedimentos de preenchimento labial nos consultórios odontológicos está cada vez mais em ascensão. Durante o processo de envelhecimento, os lábios sofrem perda de volume e contorno, sendo possível devolver tais características por meio de injeções com...

Background: It is well established that caffeine has ergogenic effects on endurance performance. This evidence often comes from studies in which subjects receive either caffeine or placebo in double-blind, randomized and counterbalanced order. Here, we propose a new methodology which aims to estimate the effects of participant expectancy of ergoge...

Training volume is one of the critical variables required to promote resistance training benefits (e. g., hypertrophy, muscular strength). Thus, strategies to improve training volume are required. We tested the hypothesis that there is an increase in performance and reduction in the rate of perceived exertion in strength training with caffeine supp...

The ice application (cooling) has become popular during physical activities to improve performance. This study aimed to test whether different cooling places could increase the number of repetitions (volume) during resistance training with blood flow restriction (BFR). Ten women volunteered for this study. The sample characterization is presented i...

Aim: This study aimed to verify whether different stage length affects the intensity of the Blood Glucose Threshold (BGT), and the agreement between evaluators for BGT determination. Methods: Fourteen subjects attended the laboratory during the first session to perform anthropometric measures and become familiar with procedures. In the following t...

Aim: Our purpose was to determine whether Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) improves performance in untrained individuals for supramaximal intermittent exercise. Methods: In a cross-over design, 11 healthy male subjects (26.8 ± 4.6 years) performed four Wingate trials after 20 minutes of anodal or sham tDCS over the left Insular Corte...

INTRODUÇÃO O treinamento resistido com restrição do fluxo sanguíneo (RFS) promove diversos benefícios a saúde, como por exemplo a hipotensão pós-exercício. Entretanto, conhecer as respostas hemodinâmicas em diferentes intensidades e volumes do RFS é útil para a adequada prescrição do RFS visando a indução da hipotensão pós-exercício. Desta forma o...

Introduction: The long stay institution for elderly people offer many advantages to these people, but we can as well observe some problems, mainly caused by the radical change in their routine, what can lead to alterations in their habits, especially in the eating habits. Objective: To assess the nutritional status of the institutionalized elderly...

Introdução: O interesse de pesquisadores e treinadores de corrida sobre estratégias que visam maximizar o desempenho vem crescendo nos últimos anos. Objetivos: Avaliar o efeito de diferentes modalidades de aquecimento sobre o desempenho de corredores de rua recreacionais. Métodos: Foram avaliados 18 corredores (28 ± 6 anos; 177,9 ± 6,1 cm; 75,8 ± 1...

Resistance exercise with blood flow restriction (BFR) promote several benefits, among them the cardiovascular effects, as the hypotensive effect. The objective of this study is to test whether the intensity and volume of BRF modulate the magnitude of the post-exercise hypotensive response. Fourteen young men performed three RBF protocols: BRF50% (5...

It is well established that caffeine has ergogenic effects on endurance exercise performance. This evidence often comes from well-designed studies in which subjects receive either caffeine or placebo in double-blind, randomized and counterbalanced order. Here, we propose a new methodology which aims to estimate the effects of participant expectancy...

It was our objective to verify the time course of muscle thickness and cytokine concentration after a resistance training session. In one of the experimental conditions, the training session was performed with low load (20% 1RM) and restriction of blood flow. In the other experimental condition, the same training was performed with high load (80% 1...

Traditional training progressions have involved changes in volume, intensity and density (amount of work per period of time). An alternative, recently popular, and action specific (sport, work, activities of daily living) functional training progression involves alterations in the complexity of movement. Increased complexity modulates the technical...

Background: Few studies have analyzed the application of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) using exercises with body weight among the morphofunctional parameters. Aim: To analyze and compare the effects of six weeks of high-intensity intermittent calisthenic training (HIICT) and moderate intensity, continuous exercise (MICT) on body compos...

Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of a calisthenics strength training program implemented in a school physical education curriculum on the fitness performance of school children. Methods: Twenty four male and female adolescents (aged 15.70 ± 0.84 years) were distributed into Training (TG) and Control groups (CG). TG and CG...

This study compared the effects of 8 weeks of traditional strength training (TST) and inter-set stretching (ISS) combined with TST on muscular adaptations. Twenty-nine sedentary, healthy adults were randomly assigned to either the TST (n=17; 28.0±6.4 years) or ISS (n=12; 26.8±6.1 years) group. Both groups performed six strength exercises encompassi...

The purposes of this study were to compare and correlate the aerobic threshold (THaer), and anaerobic threshold (THanaer) measured during a new single judo-specific incremental test and treadmill test for aerobic demand evaluation. Eight well-trained male competitive judo players (24.3 ± 7.9 years; height of 169.3 ± 6.7 cm; the fat mass of 12.7 ± 3...

Introdução: A cafeína (CAF) é um recurso ergogênico nutricional comumente utilizado durante a prática do exercício físico com o intuito de potencializar o desempenho físico. Não apresenta efeitos agudos adversos, tem baixo custo, facilmente acessível e socialmente aceita. São atribuídos a CAF mecanismos de ação centrais e periféricos durante a prát...

Then the purposes of this study were to compare and correlate the aerobic threshold (THaer) and anaerobic threshold (THanaer) measured during a new single judo specific incremental test and Treadmill Test for aerobic demand evaluation. Eight well-trained male competitive judo players (24.3±7.9 years; height of 169.3±6.7cm; fat mass of 12.7±3.9%) pe...

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the number of repetitions to volitional failure, the blood lactate concentration, and the perceived exertion to resistance training with and without an airflow-restricting mask. Methods: Eight participants participated in a randomized, counterbalanced, crossover study. Participants were assigned t...

This study verifies if caffeine supplementation delays the onset of fatigue, enhancing performance, and whether this effect is due to modulation of the caffeine in the rating of perceived exertion, motor drive activation, autonomic nervous system, and energy metabolism. Nine recreational athletes were submitted to two constant load tests after supp...

Repetition speed is an important variable during resistance training. However, the effects of different speeds on the muscular strength and hypertrophy in isotonic resistance training are not clear. The study compared fast speed with slow speed of isotonic resistance training on muscular strength and hypertrophy in well-trained adults. Twelve healt...
