A restrição da circulação de pessoas visando o controle da pandemia pela COVID-19 impactaram o mundo. Entretanto, os acidentes de trânsito continuam sendo um problema de saúde pública no Brasil. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo descrever o impacto da pandemia pela COVID-19 nos acidentes de motocicleta e o perfil dos acidentados em Pernambuco. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, quantitativo e retrospectivo realizado com dados secundários do Sistema de Informação sobre Acidentes de Transporte Terrestre, da VIII GERES do estado de Pernambuco. Foi considerado o Ano I, pré-covid, de março de 2019 a fevereiro de 2020 e o Ano II, Covid, de abril de 2020 a março de 2021. Os dados foram inseridos no Excel, exportados e submetidos à análise estatística no programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 22.0., realizado o Teste T para amostras independentes e intervalo de confiança de 5%. No Ano I, houve 6206 acidentes e no Ano II, 5402. Destacou-se em número de notificações, no Ano I, dezembro de 2019 (614); enquanto no Ano II, dezembro de 2020 (533); entretanto abril e maio de 2020 apresentaram o menor número de notificações. Houve redução no número de acidentes de motocicletas durante a pandemia pela COVID-19, possivelmente devido as medidas de isolamento social adotadas. O perfil observado foi de homens, adultos jovens, com alta hospitalar em até 72h, falta de habilitação e capacete. Os acidentes ocorreram com mais frequência às sextas-feiras, sábados e domingos, sobressaiu-se tombamento/capotamento; e reafirmou-se a vulnerabilidade dos envolvidos em acidentes de motocicletas.

Aims: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of whole body isometric resistance training (IRT) on blood pressure (BP), strength and aerobic fitness. We also analyzed whether the effects of whole body isometric training compares to whole body dynamic resistance training (DRT). Methods: Twenty-nine pre-hypertensive sedentary males, aged between 40 and 60 years were divided into three groups: IRT (n = 10), DRT (n = 9), and Control (n = 10). Both programs involved whole body resistance training, and occurred for 12 weeks, three times/week, at an intensity of 60% of a dynamic one repetition maximum test (1RM). Before and after 12 weeks, 24 hours blood pressure monitoring, 1RM strength and aerobic fitness were assessed. Results: IRT reduced diastolic BP values during a 24-hour period and daytime. There was also a decrease in mean BP values during daytime (P < 0.05). No interaction between time and group in systolic BP, diastolic BP, mean BP, heart rate and arterial stiffness index were observed (P > 0.05). IRT increased strength and aerobic fitness when compared to Control group. However, these changes were lower than DRT regarding strength (DRT: ∆ = 43.1±10.6% vs. IRT: ∆ = 24.1±7.1% vs. CON: Δ = 4.2±11.5%; P < 0.05) and aerobic fitness (DRT: ∆ = 22.9±10.7% vs. IRT: ∆ = 12.9±6.1% vs. CON: Δ = -2.1±7.4%; P < 0.01). Conclusion: Whole body IRT reduced diastolic BP and mean BP, however, the decrease was not different for the DRT group. IRT also increased strength and aerobic fitness, nevertheless, these changes were lower than after DRT.

The aim of this study was to characterize the psychophysiological demand in different capoeira performances. Eleven experienced capoeira practitioners underwent the following procedures in different days: 1) anamnesis and anthropometric measurements; 2) aerobic performance assessment; 3 to 5) performances of 90 seconds in three capoeira styles (Angola, Benguela and São Bento), which were performed in randomized controlled cross-over design. The psychophysiological demand was assessed through the heart rate (HR), R-R interval (RRi), blood pressure (BP), blood lactate ([Lac]), blood glucose ([Gluc]), rating perceived effort (RPE), feeling scale (FS) and perceived activation (PA). Descriptive statistics with mean and standard deviation was performed. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc test was used. The Angola demand was between 56–71% maximal HR with [Lac]PEAK: 6.9±2.9 mM, RPEPEAK: 10.0±2.2 pts and FS: 2.7±1.7 pts, while in the Benguela participants reached 64–85% maximal HR with [Lac]PEAK: 9.5±3.0 mM, RPEPEAK: 11.0±2.8 pts and FS: 2.1±1.6 pts and for São Bento between 69–102% maximal HR with [Lac]PEAK: 15.7±2.6 mM, RPEPEAK: 15.5±4.1 pts and FS: -0.8±3.0 pts. Interaction time*performance occurred to [Lac] (F = 42.157; p<0.001), HR (F = 12.154; p<0.001), RRi (F = 4.774; p<0.001), parasympathetic modulation-rMSSD (F = 3.189; p<0.01), [Gluc] (F = 2.152; p<0.05), RPE (F = 5.855; p<0.01), FS (F = 2.448; p<0.05) and PA (F = 3.893; p<0.05). We concluded that São Bento rhythm resulted in a greater physiological demand according to the HR, [Lac] and cardiac autonomic indicators, with the Benguela rhythm being intermediate while the Angola rhythm presented a reduced demand. The [Gluc] increased after the São Bento rhythm when compared to the other rhythms. The perceptual demand presented increased in terms of RPE and PA variables and decreased in terms of FS when the São Bento performance was analyzed in comparison to the Angola and/or Benguela in capoeira.

17This study aimed to characterize the anthropometric and functional profiles of 50 male elite 18 competitors at the 2017 Capoeira World Championship organized by ABADÁ Capoeira School in 19 the city of Rio de Janeiro. The competitors were divided into different weight categories: 20 lightweight (VIOLA, ≤76.9 kg; n = 15), intermediate weight (MEDIO, kg; n = 25), and 21 heavyweight (GUNGA, ≥86.0 kg; n = 10). Two evaluation batteries were performed: 1) 22 anthropometry and somatotype determination and 2) functional performance on push-up, sit-up, and 23 sit-and-reach tests; quadrant jump test (QJT); squat jump (SJ); and countermovement jump (CMJ). 24Results reveal that the mesomorphic component of the somatotype differed between the GUNGA 25 subgroup and other groups (F [2,47] = 7.617; p = 0.001), while ectomorphy differed between the 26 VIOLA and GUNGA subgroups (F [2,47] = 3.899; p = 0.027). The "endo-mesomorph" classification 27 predominated in the three investigated categories. For functional performance, there was a 28 difference in QJT between the VIOLA and GUNGA subgroups (F [2,47] = 4.299; p = 0.019). The 29 endomorphism had a negative correlation (p < 0.01) with the performance in the sit-up (r = -0.51), 30 push -up (r = -0.39), SJ (r = -0.45), and CMJ (r = -0.49). We concluded that at the international 31 level, male elite competitors show predominance in the mesomorphic component of the somatotype. 32 Furthermore, the endomorphic component correlated inversely with functional performance in trunk 33 and upper limb resistance tests and lower limb explosive strength tests. These results can help 34 coaches in targeting specific training programs for Capoeira athletes who aim for a high competitive 35 level.36 37Capoeira is defined as an athletic performance that comprises an attack and defense system with 40 individual character. It is considered a martial art and one of the most important popular 41 manifestations in Brazil, being the only sport recognized by the United Nations Educational, 42 Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity [1]. It 43 is currently practiced in >150 countries across the five continents [2] and by different social groups 44 [3]. This martial art has been influenced from several historical periods since the sixteenth century 45 and includes sport, education, and artistic, musical, and folkloric aspects in its play [4]. 46 47 Due to its popularity, Capoeira has been focused as an important study subject in the academic 48 environment [3]. Monteiro et al. (2015) [5] have verified the reaction time among Capoeira 49 practitioners with different experience times in the modality. Maia et al. (2010) [6] have compared 50 anthropometric and cardiovascular variables among Capoeira practitioners and sedentary 51 individuals. Additionally, some studies also have demonstrated that the practice of Capoeira can 52 chronically reflect cardiovascular [7] and neuromuscular benefits [8] in beginner practitioners. 53 54In contrast, the shape o...

A composição corporal e a pressão arterial (PA) podem sofrer influências de padrões do estilo de vida (EV). Desse modo, o objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar a influência do EV em variáveis antropométricas e PA em adultos jovens frequentadores de parque de lazer. Cento e quatro indivíduos de ambos os sexos (31±8 anos) responderam o Questionário “Estilo de Vida Fantástico” e foram submetidos a mensurações de PA, circunferência da cintura (CC), massa corporal e estatura para cálculo do índice de massa corporal (IMC). A amostra foi dividida por sexo e estratificada em “Baixo EV” (BEV; 0-69 pontos) e “Alto EV” (AEV; 70-100 pontos). Diferenças foram encontradas quando comparados os estratos BEV vs. AEV para massa corporal (Geral: 74±16 vs. 67±13 kg; Masc: 84±17 vs. 74±13 kg; Fem: 66±10 vs. 61±8 kg; p
