Limiar de lactato em remadores: comparação entre dois métodos de determinação

The objective of this study was to compare the 4 mM (AT4) and Dmax methods for lactate threshold determination. Ten male (23.7 ± 3.33 years) and four female rowers (18 ± 0.81 years), divided into three groups: heavy weight (n = 6), light weight (n = 4), and female (n = 4), (87.23 ± 6.10, 73.22 ± 2.38, 63.27 ± 8.86 kg and 187.66 ± 1.63, 183 ± 6.05, 172 ± 5.16 cm respectively), were submitted to a maximal rowing ergometry, with initial workload of 130 to 150 W and increases of 30 to 50 W every 5 minutes, with 1 minute pause for blood sampling. Power output, heart rate and lactate values were determined at every workload and used for the determination of the thresholds according to both methods. Lactate concentration, power output and heart rate, identified by Dmax method were compared with the AT4 method in the heavy weight (3.01 ± 0.73 vs. 4 mM, 268.33 ± 29.44 vs. 312 ± 44.02 W and 164 ± 4.81 vs. 174 ± 10.09 bpm), light weight (2.51 ± 0.53 vs. 4 mM, 232.50 ± 15.00 vs. 277.50 ± 25.98 W and 160 ± 8.47 vs. 177 ± 3.79 bpm) and female (3.21 ± 0.41 vs. 4 mM, 160 ± 14.41 vs. 167.50 ± 15.00 W and 175 ± 20.42 vs. 185 ± 12.12 bpm) groups through the paired Student t-test, being significantly lower (p < 0.05) when the method Dmax was used. The results suggest that the AT4 method overestimates the variables analyzed in the lactate threshold when compared with the Dmax method.

Capacidades Diferenciadoras como Vantagem Competitiva nas Empresas Torrefadoras de Cafe

Num mundo de rapidas mudancas, em que a busca por resultados e pela competitividade das empresas e uma constante, o valor agregado tem sido cada vez mais questionado e discutido no espaco empresarial. Assim, buscou-se identificar as capacidades diferenciadoras e suas limitacoes estrategicas para a criacao de valor em empresas associadas, a ABIC. A pesquisa classificou-se como exploratoria e descritiva, estudada de forma qualitativa. Utilizou-se uma amostra nao-probabilistica por julgamento. As capacidades diferenciadoras adotadas pela empresas permitem que elas atuem assumindo uma vantagem competitiva e maior agregacao de valor aos seus proprietarios, bem como a adocao dos direcionadores de valor vinculados a essas estrategias. A partir dos resultados discutidos, pode-se concluir que, de modo geral, as empresas pesquisadas estao buscando uma maior agregacao de valor com base nas capacidades diferenciadoras. Alem disso, estao procurando identificar direcionadores de valor adequados para as novas oportunidades de mercado tanto para a industrializacao como para a comercializacao de produtos com qualidade, ou seja, estao buscando inovarem em suas atividades produtivas para uma reducao de custos e maior ganho.
