“…Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) were obtained using an automatic blood pressure monitor (brand Omron Healthcare, Inc., In-telliSense, model HEM 742, Omron Corporation, Model HEM 742, Kyoto, Kansai, Japan) with cuffs of appropriate size to the arm circumference of the participants, 16 obtained on the right side with the arm at a height in line with the heart. The participant remained seated and after resting for approximately 15 minutes the blood pressure was measured.…”

Introduction: Sedentary habits increase the chances of developing cardiovascular disease. Physical activity is one of the means of prevention and treatment of these diseases, thus martial arts represent a dynamic option in promoting physical activity. Objective: The objective of the study is analyze the effects of 16 weeks of Martial Arts (Muay Thai or judo) training on cardiovascular variables in adolescents. Methods: The sample consisted of 40 adolescents, aged 11 to 14 years, divided into two groups: Martial Arts (n=28) and control (n=12). Weight and height measurements were taken to calculate body mass index. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) at rest, pulse pressure (PP) and rate-pressure product (RPP), were also measured. The intervention was carried out through Martial Arts (Muay Thai and judo) training held twice a week for 90 minutes, over 16 weeks. The control group did not undergo any training. The statistical analysis was performed using the following tests: Shapiro-Wilks, Levene’s, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), eta-squared effect size and the net-effect, using SPSS 15.0 software and a significance level of 5%. Results: There was no statistical difference between the control and Martial Arts groups for the sample characterization. There was a significant difference in systolic BP in the Martial Arts group when compared with the control group (p-value=0.049). The effect size can be considered moderate (effect size=0.163), with a good net-effect (3.4 mmHg). Conclusion: This study showed that 16 weeks of Martial Arts decreased systolic BP in normotensive adolescents. Level of Evidence II; Therapeutic studies - Investigating the results of treatment.

Identificar evidências científicas disponíveis na literatura sobre a adequação do manguito durante a medida da pressão arterial. Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. As bases de dados acessadas foram: LILACS, BDENF e MEDLINE. Dos 39 artigos encontrados foram selecionados 14 por atenderem os critérios de inclusão. Resultados: Constatou-se que 64% dos estudos foram realizados por enfermeiros e quatro (28%) por enfermeiros e médicos. Observou-se poucos artigos publicados sobre a temática referente à adequação de manguito durante a medida da pressão arterial no Brasil nos últimos 13 anos. Lacunas no conhecimento dos profissionais envolvidos com a medida da pressão arterial e a falta de conhecimento refletiu-se também na prática, pois, apesar da oferta de diferentes manguitos e fita métrica, a totalidade dos profissionais não mediu a circunferência do braço do paciente, além de usar exclusivamente manguito com bolsa de borracha de tamanho padrão de 12 × 23 cm. Os estudos demonstraram que a adequação de manguito é de fundamental importância para se obter os valores corretos durante a medida da PA e para minimizar os riscos dos falsos diagnósticos. Conclusões: A realização da medida da pressão arterial não está sendo realizada corretamente, sendo a medida da circunferência braquial um dos procedimentos menos realizados durante esta aferição.
