Effects of Video Game Training on the Musculoskeletal Function of Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of video game exercise training (VGET) on the musculoskeletal function of older adults. The review was carried out in the PubMed, LILACS, WEB OF SCIENCE, WEB OF KNOWLEDGE, PEDro, and Cochrane CENTRAL. Sixteen controlled clinical trials were included, and the risks of bias were measured using the JADAD scale. There was no evidence that VGET might be effective on functional mobility (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.23, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −0.13 to 0.59) or on balanced self-efficacy (SMD = 0.15, 95% CI: −0.29 to 0.60). Future randomized controlled trials with greater methodological rigor, focusing on the parameters used to prescribe the exercises, are necessary.

Los efectos del entrenamiento con Kinect Sports y Kinect Adventures en la resistencia de la musculatura lumbar y pélvica de adultos jóvenes saludables: estudio clínico no aleatorio

El entrenamiento con los videojuegos activos viene siendo empleado como tecnica para promover la salud, pero todavia poco se sabe acerca de su influencia en la resistencia de la musculatura lumbar y pelvica. En este trabajo se analizaron los efectos de los juegos Kinect Sports® y Kinect Adventures® en la resistencia de la musculatura lumbar y pelvica de adultos jovenes saludables. Se dividieron 40 participantes (26 mujeres y 14 varones, con edades entre 18 y 30 anos) por conveniencia en el grupo control (GC, n=20) y en el grupo de intervencion (GI, n=20), y se les sometieron al analisis de resistencia del musculo flexor, extensor y flexor lateral del tronco, en tres periodos: inicial (T0), despues de cinco semanas (T5) y despues de 12 semanas (T12). El G1 solo realizo entrenamiento con los videojuegos Kinect Sports® y Kinect Adventures® (Xbox 360 Kinect®), en parejas, dos veces semanales, durante 12 semanas. En el analisis de las diferencias entre grupos se empleo la prueba ANOVA mixta con repetidas medidas design 2 (grupo de entrenamiento: GC vs. GI) x3 (pruebas del complejo lumbar y pelvico: T0 vs. T5 vs. T12) (p<0,05). Comparado al GC, el GI presento un aumento significativo en la resistencia de los extensores del tronco y en los flexores laterales del tronco (F2,76=3.947, p=0,03; F2,76=3.763, p=0,02, respectivamente) tras las 12 semanas de entrenamiento con los videojuegos. Se concluye que el entrenamiento con videojuegos activos, Xbox 360 Kinect Sports® y Kinect Adventures®, mejoro la resistencia de la musculatura lumbar y pelvica de los participantes, y puede ser empleado en la prevencion de trastornos musculoesqueleticos lumbares.| Exergames training (EXG) has been used as a technique for health prevention, however, little is known about its influence on the endurance of lumbarpelvic muscles. The effects of Kinect Sports® and Kinect Adventures® on the endurance of lumbar-pelvic muscles in healthy young adults were analyzed. Forty participants (26 women and 14 men, from 18 to 30 years old) were sorted by convenience into a control group (CG, n = 20) and an intervention group (IG, n=20). The muscles of the trunk (flexor, extensor and lateral flexor) were assessed in three periods: before the intervention (T0), after five weeks (T5) and after 12 weeks (T12). Only the IG underwent training with Kinect Sports® and Kinect Adventures® (XBOX360 Kinect®), in pairs, twice a week, during 12 weeks. To analyze the differences between Fisioter Pesqui. 2016;23(4):365-371 366 groups, mixed ANOVA test was used with repeated measures design 2 (treatment group: CG vs. IG) x3 (lumbar-pelvic complex tests: T0 vs. T5 vs. T12) (p<0.05). The IG showed a significant increase in the endurance of trunk extensors and lateral flexors (F2,76=3.947, p=0.03; F2,76=3.763, p=0.02), respectively, after 12 weeks of intervention, compared to the CG. It was concluded that EXG training (XBOX360 Kinect Sports® and Kinect Adventures®) improved the resistance of the lumbar-pelvic muscles of healthy young adults. This protocol may be considered an instrument for the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders in the lumbar region.

Effects of muscular endurance training on musculoskeletal disorders in teachers

Introduction Physical exercise is indicated to reduce the incidence of musculoskeletal symptoms in teachers.Objective To evaluate the effects of muscular endurance training on muscle strength and musculoskeletal symptoms related to the lower limbs of public elementary school teachers.Materials and methods Thirty-one female teachers were divided into two groups: control (CG, n = 15) and muscular endurance training (TG, n = 16). The training consisted of two sets of 15 repetitions of exercises for quadriceps and hamstring muscle groups, twice a week, for 7 weeks, which were conducted with 50% of 10 repetition maximum(10RM) (first to fourth week) and 60% of 10 RM (fifth to seventh week). Musculoskeletal symptoms (Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire), isometric peak torque (Load cell) and muscle strength (10RM) were assessed before and after intervention. ANOVA for repeated measures and Tukey post hoc were used to analyse strength and peak torque of quadriceps and hamstrings and Chi-square goodness-of-fit test were used to analyse the frequency of occurrence of osteomuscular symptoms.Results The highest incidence of symptoms was found in the lumbar region in both groups. Training caused increased muscle strength of the quadriceps and hamstrings, but there were no significant differences in either the peak torque in the quadriceps and hamstrings or in the reduction of musculoskeletal symptoms.Conclusion The exercise program performed in this study increased the dynamic strength in the TG in relation to the CG, but did not alter the incidence of symptoms in the lumbar region and lower limbs in neither of the groups. Thus, results suggest that the duration of intervention may not have been enough to increase peak torque and decrease musculoskeletal symptoms.
