The study showed that both experimental groups presented favorable results for BMD, strength, FA and QoL. However, the RT3 showed the best results compared to other groups after 13 months of intervention.

Abstract:Background: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different physical activity (PA) programs on bone density, balance and quality of life of postmenopausal women taking concomitant alendronate. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 35 volunteers divided into four groups: practitioners of resistance training (RTG, n ¼ 9, 49.8±4.2 years), judo (JUG, n ¼ 11, 52.2±5.3 years), water aerobics (WAG, n ¼ 8, 57.1±7.4 years) and the control group (CG, n ¼ 7, 53.8±4.4 years). Methods: The following assessment tools were used: bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry of the spine and proximal femur, the 'Osteoporosis Assessment Questionnaire' (OPAQ) and the 'Static Balance Test with Visual Control'. The physical activities were planned for 12 months in cycles with different intensities. A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for analysis between groups, and a Scheffé post-hoc test was used for multiple comparisons. Results: The multiple comparisons results showed that the RTG and JUG groups were significantly more efficient in the variables studied, including: lumbar BMD (Á% ¼ 6.8%, p ¼ 0.001), balance (Á% ¼ 21.4%, p ¼ 0.01), OPAQ (Á% ¼ 9.1%, p ¼ 0.005) and lumbar BMD (Á% ¼ 6.4%, p ¼ 0.003), balance (Á% ¼ 14%, p ¼ 0.02) and OPAQ (Á% ¼ 16.8%, p ¼ 0.000) compared with the CG. Furthermore, the RTG (Á% ¼ 4.8%, p ¼ 0.02) was significantly better than the WAG for the neck of femur BMD, and the JUG (Á% ¼ 16.8, p ¼ 0.0003) also demonstrated superiority to the WAG in the OPAQ. Conclusions: The physical activities studied appear to improve BMD, balance and quality of life of postmenopausal women taking a bisphosphonate. In this small sample, the RTG and the JUG groups were superior to the other groups.

A osteoporose é uma doença crônica que atinge o esqueleto humano. OBJETIVO: Verificar os efeitos do treinamento resistido sobre a densidade mineral óssea (DMO), força muscular, equilíbrio e qualidade de vida em mulheres menopausadas em tratamento com alendronato. MÉTODOS: Participaram do estudo 16 voluntárias. Elas foram separadas em dois grupos: que praticaram o treino resistido (n = 9, 49,7 ± 4,2 idade) e que constituíram o grupo controle (n = 7, 53,8 ± 4,4 idade). Os instrumentos de avaliação seguintes foram usados: a absorciometria de dupla energia por raios X -DXA (que mediu a coluna lombar L2-L4, colo do fêmur, triângulo de Wards e trocanter maior), o Osteoporosis Assessment Questionnaire (OPAQ) e um teste de equilíbrio. O treinamento foi periodizado em 12 meses, divididos em seis ciclos com intensidade de 70-90% da carga máxima (10RM). Testes paramétricos (t ou Wilcoxon), para análise intragrupo e (Anova) para intergrupos, foram usados. RESULTADOS: Foram encontradas diferenças significativas favoráveis ao grupo que treinou nos sítios da lombar L2-L4 (6,8%, p = 0,001), colo do fêmur (4,8%, p = 0,005) e trocanter (0,76%, p = 0,005). Além de diferenças significativas também para o equilíbrio corporal (21,4%, p = 0,001), qualidade de vida (9,1%, p = 0,001) e todas as medidas de força como na pressão de pernas 45° (49,3%, p < 0,001). CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados sugerem que a metodologia aplicada ao treino resistido pode ser recomendada a mulheres menopausadas com baixa DMO.

Borba-Pinheiro, C.J., Almeida, N.M., De Alencar, M.C.G., Janotta, A. & Martín, E.H. (2013). Can the judo training improve the muscle-skeletal acting in older women with low bone mineral density? J. Hum. Sport Exerc., 8(4), pp.1067-1073. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that causes bone fragility with increased risks of fractures and negative consequences on human mobility. The planned and monitored physical activity by professionals have shown good results on bone density, body balance and quality of life, factors that are determinants to the functional autonomy and independence of older women. The exercises and techniques realization of adapted judo are of low difficulty, emphasizing the development of motor coordination, muscle strength, body balance and consequently the bone density. Thus, the objective of this work is to present the adapted judo training as a physical activity alternative for older women with low bone density, demonstrating that the adaptation of judo training with professional supervision can help maintain bone density and other related-variables listed in this population.

RESUMOEste trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar a constituição das artes marciais no Brasil, em particular o judô, considerando a formação e capacitação do técnico desportivo para a modalidade. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, tendo como técnica para coleta de dados a fonte documental. Entre os resultados observou-se que as instituições representantes da modalidade judô, como CBJ, FPJ e LPJ mantêm estruturas semelhantes às escolas de ofício em detrimento de uma formação mais científica relacionada às ciências do desporto. Concluiu-se que o judô brasileiro distancia-se do modelo de formação acadêmica, mantendo-se atrelado às tradições do saber-fazer. Palavras-chave: formação profissional, escolas de ofício, técnico desportivo, judô ABSTRACTThe aim of this research was to describe the process of professional education of judo coaches in Brazil. In order to do this, documental sources were used as means of data collection. Results showed that highly regarded institutions such as Confederação Brasileira de Judô, Federação Paulista de Judô, and Liga Paulista de Judô all support educational structures that resembles the apprenticeship system, that is, education which provide mostly employment-preparation skills for trained labour, in detriment of education on the application of scientific principles aiming at improving sporting performance. In conclusion, Brazilian judo seems to be kept away from the academic formation model and linked to the know how to do traditions.
