Exercício aeróbio, de resistência ou combinado: que tipo mais contribui para melhorar a função endotelial? Resenha da metanálise de Ashor et al.

Abstract

Introduction: As part of the Special Edition 2020 I, the Revista de Educacao Fisica / Journal of Physical Education (REF/JPE) brings scientific aspects of the practice of physical activity related to the CoViD-19 pandemic. \nObjective: To present and refer to REF/JPE readers, the meta-analysis review study of Ashor et al., published in an international scientific journal. Based on randomized clinical trial studies, the effects of aerobic, resistance and combined exercise on endothelial function were compared. Recent literature indicates that CoViD-19 involves the endothelium in the process. In this sense, evaluating which type of exercise improves its function is highly relevant. \nConclusion: All types of exercise (aerobic, resistance and combined) significantly increased endothelial function com-pared to control groups. The greatest effects were observed with aerobic exercises, followed by combined and resisted exercises. In aerobic exercise, there was a significant dose-response relationship between both absolute and relative intensity of aerobic exercise and endothelial function. In resistance exercises, a positive correlation was found in frequency and not in intensity. The results were discussed by the authors, reading is recommended
