PREVALÊNCIA DE OBESIDADE E HPERTENSÃO ARTERIAL INFANTIS DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5892/ruvrd.v15i2.4259

Obesity is a chronic and complex disease characterized by excess body fat, being considered a global epidemic. The consequences of obesity are worrying and may begin in childhood and adolescence long before they manifest clinically. The increase in the prevalence of obesity was responsible for a significant change in health and disease profile in the world in recent years.At pre-school and school age, the early occurrence of body adiposity and rapid weight gain represent risk factors for the development of obesity at more advanced ages.Studies have demonstrated the association between obesity and arterial hypertension in children of diverse racial and ethnic groups, regardless of gender and age, synergistically influencing cardiovascular risk.There are higher blood pressure (BP) and/or higher prevalence of hypertension (H) in obese children. Therefore, a study of the prevalence of high blood pressure was conducted in children with nutritional diagnosis of obesity. For statistical analysis, the exact Fisher’s test was used at nominal level of 5% of significance.The results showed that there was no dependence between hypertension and obesity, but there was a significant association between blood pressure and gender. Concludes that although the dependenceamong obesity and hypertension in children,although it has not been proven, it is expected from future studies that this dependence is significant.

INFLUÊNCIA DE EXERCÍCIOS ATIVOS LIVRES E DE ALTO IMPACTO NO FORTALECIMENTO DA MUSCULATURA PÉLVICA DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5892/ruvrd.v14i1.2504

O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de exercicios livres na musculatura do assoalho pelvico, associados a exercicios de alto impacto como Jump e Step. O estudo foi realizado com 60 mulheres, de 20 a 65 anos, onde inicialmente foram submetidas a um teste de forca da musculatura do assoalho pelvico, atraves do metodo bidigital, e apos, foram realizadas aulas de Jump e Step associadas a exercicios livres na musculatura pelvica, durante 8 semanas, em 3 sessoes de 60 minutos, em dias alternados. Ao final do treinamento, as mesmas foram submetidas novamente ao mesmo teste, sendo os resultados classificados de acordo com a Escala de Ortiz. Percebeu-se que apos as 8 semanas de exercicios, 20% da amostra foi classificada com grau 0; 20% grau 2; e 60% grau 3. O fortalecimento da musculatura pelvica associada a exercicios de impacto foi eficiente em um programa de exercicios livres, considerando p≤0,05.
