“…Thirty-four older women participated in this study (68 ± 4 years; 68 ± 12 kg; 154 ± 5 cm) with non-specific CLBP. Participants selection met eligibility criteria as follow: a) CLBP; b) individuals non-participant in systematic exercise program; and exclusion criteria: a) people without medical recommendation (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) [56]; b) patients that underwent spine surgery; c) patients with cancer; d) acute musculoskeletal injuries in lower limbs; e) neurological illnesses; and f) vestibular noncontrolled disorders. Participants were allocated in two parallel groups (CEG and EWG).…”

Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) is a public health problem and older women have higher incidence of this symptom, which affect body balance, functional capacity and behavior. The purpose of this study was to verifying the effect of exercises with Nintendo Wii on CLBP, functional capacity and mood of elderly. Thirty older women (68 ± 4 years; 68 ± 12 kg; 154 ± 5 cm) with CLBP participated in this study. Elderly individuals were divided into a Control Exercise Group (n = 14) and an Experimental Wii Group (n = 16). Control Exercise Group did strength exercises and core training, while Experimental Wii Group did ones additionally to exercises with Wii. CLBP, balance, functional capacity and mood were assessed pre and post training by the numeric pain scale, Wii Balance Board, sit to stand test and Profile of Mood States, respectively. Training lasted eight weeks and sessions were performed three times weekly. MANOVA 2 x 2 showed no interaction on pain, siting, stand-up and mood (P = 0.53). However, there was significant difference within groups (P = 0.0001). ANOVA 2 x 2 showed no interaction for each variable (P > 0.05). However, there were significant differences within groups in these variables (P < 0.05). Tukey's post-hoc test showed significant difference in pain on both groups (P = 0.0001). Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests identified no significant differences on balance (P > 0.01). Capacity to Sit improved only in Experimental Wii Group (P = 0.04). In conclusion, physical exercises with Nintendo Wii Fit Plus additional to strength and core training were effective only for sitting capacity, but effect size was small.

“…However, the association found between active students and reduced flexibility is curious. It is known that regular physical activity provides physiological and psychological benefits, and the aerobic components, flexibility and muscle overload it entails warrant respect 28 . Therefore, the importance of including exercises involving physical aptitude during physical education classes must be considered.…”

Resumo Introdução: os hábitos de vida da atualidade têm levado a um estilo de vida mais sedentário, contribuindo para o aumento da obesidade. Desta forma é necessário compreender se estas mudanças influenciam na flexibilidade do indivíduo. Objetivo: verificar se sexo, sedentarismo e perfil nutricional influenciam o nível de flexibilidade de escolares. Método: foram avaliados 60 escolares de ambos os sexos com idade entre cinco a 14 anos, divididos em dois grupos: flexibilidade normal (n=21) e flexibilidade reduzida (n=39). A flexibilidade dos escolares foi avaliada por meio da fotogrametria através do teste de elevação dos MMII em extensão considerando o ângulo da perna. O nível de atividade física foi avaliado através do Questionário de Atividade física para Crianças e a classificação do perfil nutricional foi realizada utilizando o Índice de Massa Corporal por idade e com relação ao sexo. Resultados: os grupos com flexibilidade normal e reduzida, não apresentaram diferenças significativas com relação à idade, peso e altura (p>0,05). Não foi observado diferenças (p>0,05) nos ângulos da perna na comparação entre os grupos sedentários e ativos; obesos e não obesos, e entre os grupos do sexo feminino e masculino. Conclusões: o sexo, sedentarismo e o perfil nutricional não influenciaram a flexibilidade dos escolares avaliados.

“…As each individual has different motor experiences, exercise progression during the sessions may vary, which makes it unfeasible to prescribe the same exercise series for everyone. According to the Brazilian Society of Sports Medicine, the emphasis for each individual varies according to their clinical condition and according to the objectives of each 20 . The subjects were instructed to report any musculoskeletal pain complaints when performing the exercises, which would be interrupted if there were any.…”

Introduction: Exercises of Pilates method have been widely used to improve postural alignment. There is strong evidence favoring their use in improving flexibility and balance, as well as some evidence of improvement in muscle strength. However, the benefits related to posture are not well established. Objective: To investigate in healthy adults, the impact of the Pilates method in the postural alignment through some angles in the sagittal plane and the occurrence of pain before and after an exercise session, and after the completion of a 16-session program. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study of pre and post-intervention type. Healthy adults (n = 37) interested in starting Pilates were evaluated for acute effects on posture after a Pilates session (n = 37) and after a 16-session program, for a period of 10 weeks (n = 13). Using the postural assessment software (SAPO), six angles were analyzed: head horizontal alignment (HHA), pelvis horizontal alignment (PHA), hip angle (HA), vertical alignment of the body (VAB), thoracic kyphosis (TK), and lumbar lordosis (LL). The occurrence of pain was investigated to control adverse effects. Results: Statistically significant (p<0.05) differences found after one session include increased HHA (left view), decreased VAB (left view) and TK (both side views). After 16 sessions, we observed an increase of HHA, and a decrease of TK, LL (both side views) and HA (right view). All the differences point to an improvement of postural alignment. A significant reduction of prevalence of pain was verified after the first session (40.5% vs. 13.5%; p=0.004) and after the full program (30.8% vs. 15.3%; p=0.02). Conclusions: Our results suggest that the Pilates method has a positive impact on postural alignment in healthy adults, besides being a safe exercise.
