“…Aerobic PA also plays a crucial role in the prevention and rehabilitation of coronary heart disease (CHD) by providing the systemic benefits and reducing cardiovascular symptoms (2) . PA is therefore, an essential part of cardiac rehabilitation programs (2) . Practice guidelines to increase adherence to the PA highlight the advantages of exercise and its benefits on health, and recommend the participation in at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity PA, preferably all days of the week per week) has declined over time (3) .…”

Aim: this paper reports the results of a nursing-administered theory-based intervention, the "Moving Heart Program", based on the implementation intention theory and pointed at improving physical activity adherence among coronary heart disease outpatients in Brazil. Methods:this experimental study applied assessments at baseline, 1 and 2 months after baseline. The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials statement was followed. Participants were randomly assigned to intervention, comprising action and coping plans on how to deal with anticipated barriers (n=69), or a standard-care control group (n=67). Results: participants submitted to the intervention showed significant higher levels of physical activity 2 months after baseline and were significantly more active than the control group. Conclusions: the results indicate that the intervention is feasible for patients with coronary heart disease and can be a useful tool to facilitate intended lifestyle changes. This study brings relevant contributions to the Nursing field and other health-related areas, once the intervention presents low cost to health services and can be applied in cardiac rehabilitation programs, showing significant benefits to participants. "Programa de Corazón en Movimiento": una intervención para mejorar la actividad física en pacientes con enfermedad coronariaObjetivo: en este estudio, se presentan los resultados de una intervención de enfermería -"El Programa Corazón en Movimiento", basada en las premisas teóricas del "implementation intention" para mejorar la actividad física entre pacientes con enfermedad coronaria en Brasil. Métodos: este estudio experimental aplicó las evaluaciones al inicio del estudio, 1 y 2 meses después. La declaración Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials fue seguida.Los participantes fueron asignados al azar al Grupo Intervención, que comprende los planes de acción y de hacer frente a la manera de lidiar con los obstáculos (n=69); o al Grupo Control (n=67). Resultados: los participantes sometidos a la intervención mostraron niveles significativamente más altos de actividad física después de 2 meses y eran más activos que los del grupo control. Conclusión: la intervención es viable para pacientes con enfermedad coronaria y es una herramienta útil para facilitar los cambios de estilo de vida. Este estudio aporta contribuciones relevantes en el campo de enfermería y de otras áreas relacionadas a la salud, una vez que la intervención tiene costo bajo para los servicios de salud y se puede aplicar en los programas de rehabilitación cardíaca, y muestra beneficios significativos para los participantes.Descriptores: Enfermería; Actividad Motora; Comportamiento; Enfermedad Coronaria; Técnicas de Planificación.

“…Physical activity is recommended to improve health, and helps to reduce other cardiovascular risk factors. (24) The sedentary lifestyle in turn, may be associated with increased waist circumference and obesity, (19) increasing the chances of occurrence of these two risk factors and thus, of cardiovascular disease. A recent study with 168 elderly showed that waist circumference in men is associated with excessive daytime sleepiness, (25) illustrating how the relationships between these factors are intertwined.…”

Objective: To characterize daytime sleepiness in patients with acute myocardial infarction and identify the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics associated with excessive daytime sleepiness in these patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 113 patients (mean age of 59.7 years; 70.8% male), in which were used an instrument for the sociodemographic and clinical characterization, and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Results: Excessive daytime sleepiness was identified in 33 patients (29.2%). Those with a body mass index above 30 kg/m 2 and those who progressed to clinical worsening obtained a higher score in the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, compared to those with a body mass index less than 30 kg/m 2 and clinical improvement. The patients aged 60 years or more, those separated, and with body mass index greater than 30 kg/m 2 were more likely to mention excessive daytime sleepiness. Conclusion: Identifying individuals with excessive daytime sleepiness should be part of the routine work of nurses for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. ResumoObjetivos: Caracterizar a sonolência diurna em pacientes com infarto agudo do miocárdio e identificar as características sociodemográficas e clínicas associadas à sonolência diurna excessiva nesses pacientes. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 113 pacientes (média de idade 59,7; 70,8% sexo masculino). Utilizou-se um instrumento para caracterização sociodemográfica e clínica e a Escala de Sonolência de Epworth. Resultados: A sonolência diurna excessiva foi identificada em 33 pacientes (29,2%). Aqueles com índice de massa corporal acima de 30kg/m 2 e aqueles que evoluíram com piora clínica obtiveram escore superior na Escala de Sonolência Epworth, comparados àqueles com índice de massa corporal inferior a 30kg/m 2 e melhora clínica. Os pacientes com 60 anos ou mais, os separados e aqueles com índice de massa corporal superior a 30kg/m 2 apresentaram chances maiores de referir sonolência diurna excessiva. Conclusão: Identificar indivíduos com sonolência diurna excessiva deve constituir parte da atuação rotineira do enfermeiro visando à prevenção das doenças cardiovasculares.

“…Due to severe types of exercise posing a risk, the American Heart Association, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommend moderate-intensity regular physical activity for the prevention and complementary treatment of several diseases (Agrwal, 2012). The ACSM recommends that most adults engage in moderate-intensity training for ≥30 minutes a day, ≥5 days a week for a total of ≥150 minutes a week in order to develop and maintain cardiorespiratory, musculoskeletal, and neuromotor fitness (Garber et al, 2011).…”

Background: The combined effects of diet and exercise lead to a change in body fat and lipid profile. Aim: To investigate the combined influence of dietary control and physical activity after 10 weeks of intervention on body mass index (BMI) and lipid profile. Methods: Twenty subjects (4 male, 16 female) were included in the study after ethical approval has been taken from university committee. Anthropometric measurements (height in cm and weight in kg) were taken. Close dietary instruction and supervision were maintained throughout the study. The basal BMI was calculated and the basal lipid profile was measured, which included high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol (TC). After week 6 and 10, BMI was calculated again, while after week 10 lipid profile was measured again. The level of physical activity was assessed at week 9 using a physical activity questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: A significant decrease BMI was found between basal and week 6 values (26 ± 5 vs. 25 ± 6; p = .019), and basal value and week 10 value. Compared to the basal value, week 10 showed an increase in HDL, a significant decrease in TC (p = .017), and a non-significant decrease in LDL and TG. The sample population did spend more time participating in moderate activities (55 minutes, 5 days a week) compared with vigorous activities (40 minutes, 2 days a week). Conclusion: Dietary control programs prepared by dieticians combined with participation in structured physical activity programs constructed by physical trainers and observed by a sports medicine physician should be established.
