The benefits of the regular exercise on quality of life of individuals living with a headache are well known. However, whether the benefits of the exercise training on headache parameters (i.e., intensity, frequency, and pain duration) occur in an intensity-dependent fashion remains unknown. Objective The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of different exercise intensities on headache parameters. Design A systematic review of clinical trials that analyzed the effect of physical exercise on headache, without time or language restriction. The TESTEX scale was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the articles. Results Sixteen (16) articles were included with interventions with aerobic training and resistance training. Primary results are positive effects of exercise on migraine symptoms, tension-type headache among others, and a decrease in the use of headache-related medications. On the other hand, the studies did not provide information on exercise intensity, especially studies with aerobic exercises. The intensities used for aerobic training was mostly controlled subjectively and the resistance training ranged from 10% to 80% of maximum repetition. Conclusions Exercise had a positive influence on the frequency and severity of headache crises, although the studies presented inconclusive data regarding the exercise parameters.
Introdução: Pilates é um método de condicionamento que integra o corpo e a mente proporcionando bem-estar geral aos indivíduos. Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito do Pilates sobre o estado de humor de mulheres no climatério. Métodos: Participaram do estudo 10 mulheres sedentárias entre 41 e 64 anos, na fase do climatério. As participantes foram submetidas a um programa de treinamento de Pilates, composto por 10 sessões, uma vez por semana com duração de 50 minutos utilizando 7 exercícios. O estado de humor foi avaliado através do POMS (Profile of Mood States), composto por 42 adjetivos subdivididos em 6 estados de humor. Para avaliação dos sintomas do climatério foi aplicado o Índice de Kupperman e Blatt. O teste de Shapiro-Wilk foi realizado para confirmar a normalidade dos dados e teste t de Student pareado para analisar as diferenças entre as médias pré e pós-sessão. A significância de 5% foi utilizada para os testes estatísticos através do software SPSS. Resultados: Aumento significativo do Vigor (p< 0,01), diminuição da Fadiga (p<0,02) e redução da Perturbação Total de Humor (p<0,04). Conclusão: Pilates com frequência de uma vez por semana foi capaz de melhorar significativamente o estado de humor de mulheres sedentárias na fase do climatério.Palavras-chave: Pilates, climatério, humor.
