“…A prediction equation including age, sex, self-selected walking speed (km/hour), and work heart rate was used to calculate the outcome of the treadmill test for each participant in ml/kg/minute (31,32). Age, sex, body weight, work load (watts), and work heart rate were used to calculate the outcome for the bicycle test for each participant in ml/kg/ minute (33).…”

Objective. To describe self-reported physical activity and physical fitness and to identify correlates of physical activity and general health perception. Methods. Data on self-reported physical activity, physical fitness, activity performance, and disease activity were collected from a sample of 298 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Results. Forty-seven percent of our sample reported physical activity behaviors that did not comply with public health recommendations. A majority of the patients had decreased lower-limb muscle function (72%), grip force (94%), joint motion (94%), and functional balance (68%). Correlations between self-reported physical activity and other variables were r s ‫؍‬ 0.25 or less. Variation in general health perception was explained (total adjusted R 2 ‫؍‬ 0.65) by pain and activity performance. Conclusion. Our findings indicate that there is a case for recommendations on and support for healthy physical activity behaviors among people with RA.

“…Esse fato pode ser explicado pelo início da preocupação das pessoas com o controle dos níveis de CT, TG e outras variáveis, controlando a alimentação e regulando os FRC; caso contrário, os níveis tenderiam apenas a aumentar e o risco individual com TG "alto" pode se tornar preocupante para a saúde pública dos servidores. Outro fator que pode explicar o fato de as pessoas com maior idade terem menor nível de TG pode ser a sobrevida de quem possui esses níveis baixos, pois quem possui altos índices de CT, TG e outras variáveis que incrementam o risco cardíaco tendem a viver menos (11,(15)(16)(17) . Com relação à capacidade aeróbica (VO 2máx ), níveis baixos têm sido considerados um importante preditor de morbidade e mortalidade prematura em adultos saudáveis (24) , e, em combinação com outros fatores de risco, podem agravar a situação.…”

“…O desenvolvimento deste estudo compreendeu cinco fases: 1) elaboração da campanha informativa; 2) cadastro de interessados; 3) assinatura do termo de consentimento; 4) realização de medidas antropométricas (estatura e peso) (16) , teste de esteira submáximo (17) para avaliação do parâmetro cardiorrespiratório VO 2máx e coleta dos CT e TG; 5) resultados pertinentes foram divulgados individualmente. Todos os protocolos foram aplicados por estudantes de Educação Física.…”

Prevalencia de dislipidemia y su relación con el consumo de oxígeno en funcionarios RESUMO Objetivo: Determinar a prevalência de dislipidemia em servidores públicos e sua relação com o consumo máximo de oxigênio (VO 2máx ). Métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado em 2010, com 107 servidores técnico-administrativos de uma universidade, através de medidas antropométricas (estatura e peso), teste de esteira submáximo para avaliação do parâmetro cardiorrespiratório (VO 2máx ), coleta de colesterol total (CT) e triglicerídeos (TG). Utilizouse, no tratamento estatístico dos dados, a análise descritiva, o cálculo das prevalências de CT, TG e VO 2máx , a correlação de Pearson e o teste t de Student não pareado. Resultados: A amostra final compreendeu 101 servidores (46,6 + 10,4 anos). Os avaliados obtiveram média de CT 197+ 40,2mg/dl, com 51 (50,5%) apresentando valores limítrofes e "altos", e média de TG 121+66,6mg/dl, com 25 (24,8%) valores limítrofes e "altos". O VO 2máx de 56 (55,5%) avaliados foi classificado como "Bom" e 37 (36,6%) como "Excelente". Os homens obtiveram correlação estatisticamente significante apenas entre TG e VO 2máx (r = -0,45; p<0,01), enquanto, entre as mulheres, a correlação foi do CT com VO 2máx (r = -0,37; p<0,05). Conclusão: A prevalência de dislipidemias se mostrou elevada na população estudada, principalmente entre o sexo masculino. Encontrou-se uma correlação inversa entre as variáveis TG e VO 2máx nos homens e entre CT e VO 2máx nas mulheres. Contudo, as variáveis em questão obtiveram uma relação regular nos servidores avaliados.Descritores: Colesterol; Triglicerídeos; Consumo de Oxigênio; Doenças Cardiovasculares. ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia and its relation with maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2max ) in public servants. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted in 2010 with 107 technical and administrative servants of one university, by means of anthropometric measures (height and weight), submaximal treadmill test for assessment of cardiorespiratory parameter (VO 2max ), collection of total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG). In the statistical treatment of data, were applied the descriptive analysis, prevalence of TC, TG and VO 2max , Pearson correlation and non-paired Student's t-test. Results:The final sample comprised 101 servants (46.6 + 10.4 years old). The mean TC was 197 + 40.2mg/dl, with 51 (50.5%) presenting borderline and "high" values, and mean TG 121 + 66.6mg/dl, with 25 (24.8%) borderline and "high" values. The VO 2max of 56 (55.5%) servants were classified as " Good" and 37 (36.6%) as "Excellent". Men had a statistically significant correlation only between 45; p<0.01), whereas among the women there was correlation between p<0.05

“…The second stage is characterized by an increase of 5% of the inclination maintaining the same speed. Finally, a 2-minute recovery stage is carried out at 4 km*h-1 [60]. The VO 2 max is calculated applying a specific equation [61].…”

Aging is a natural, physiological, and inevitable process, but it can be also influenced. Although aging is not a disease, it has several characteristics that could indicate so, such as a functional decline at different levels, which may determine clinical manifestations, and it is associated with several disease processes. Consequently, it is essential to create and adopt strategies to delay the aging process. Nowadays, any strategy adopted without including physical exercise seems inconceivable. Recent studies published in relation to this population have shown that the maintenance of acceptable levels of physical fitness is associated with the prevention of many of premature aging consequences, good rates of health, and quality of life of the person. cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength (as physical fitness components) are excellent life expectancy and quality of life predictors. Therefore, reaching a good fitness level is the most powerful clinical method to prevent and delay the aging process. Not only their years to live increase, but also their quality, with health and without diseases or mobility dependence.
