“…These findings are similar to reports by some authors that show improvements in neuropsychological functioning in individuals who are involved in this type of activity (De Mello et al 2013). A number of hypotheses have attempted to explain the mechanisms that can influence neuropsychological functions in individuals who are involved in regular physical exercise.…”

It has been suggested that leisure activity and physical exercise can be a protective factor for neuropsychological functions and are associated with a reduced risk of dementia. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of physical exercise and leisure on the neuropsychological functions of healthy older adults. The sample was composed of 51 sedentary female volunteers who were 60-70 years old and were distributed into three groups: A-control, B-leisure, and C-training. Volunteers were submitted to a physical and neuropsychological assessment at baseline and after 6 months. Groups A and B were monitored longitudinally three times a week. Group C improved their neuropsychological functioning and oxygen consumption compared to groups A and B (p=<0.05). The neuropsychological functions of groups A and B were significantly worse after 6 months of monitoring (p=<0.05). The data suggest that physical exercise improves neuropsychological functioning, although leisure activities may also improve this functioning. Thus, an aerobic physical fitness program can partially serve as a non-medication alternative for maintaining and improving these functions in older adults; however, leisure activities should also be considered.

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of depressive symptoms and major depressive disorder, as assessed in population-based cross-sectional studies of Brazilian adults. Methods: We performed a systematic review of the literature. The major databases were searched up through October 2013. Two researchers selected the studies, extracted the data, and assessed their methodological quality. Meta-analyses were performed using random effects. Results: Of the 2,971 records retrieved, we selected 27 studies that assessed the prevalence of depression morbidity in 464,734 individuals (66% women). Eleven different screening tools were used to assess depression morbidity. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 14% (95% confidence interval [95%CI] 13-16; I 2 = 99.5%), whereas the 1-year prevalence of major depressive disorder was 8% (95%CI 7-10; I 2 = 86.7%), and the lifetime prevalence of major depressive disorder was 17% (95%CI 14-19; I 2 = 91.6%). All rates were higher in women than in men. No causes of heterogeneity could be identified. Conclusion: Depression morbidity was common among Brazilian adults, and affects more women than men. Inconsistencies across studies highlight the need for standardization of future research. Clinicians should routinely investigate for the presence of depression morbidity in this population.

ResumoPara investigar se diferentes níveis de ansiedade traço influenciam na percepção da fadiga e bem -estar após exercício físico de moderada e alta intensidade, 26 jovens saudáveis e ativos (idade = 23,23±3,61 anos; estatura = 1,75±0,07 m; massa corporal = 73,26±8,92 kg), foram recrutados. Os voluntários foram distribuídos em dois grupos em relação ao nível de ansiedade traço (Grupo ansiedade traço baixa -G ATB e grupo ansiedade traço media -G ATM ) realizando os seguintes procedimentos experimentais em diferentes dias utilizando um cicloergômetro: a) carga progressiva até exaustão máxima (TEmax), b) teste em carga retangular na intensidade do limiar ventilatório-I (LV-I) por 30 minutos. Utilizando um modelo de medidas repetidas, foram utilizados questionários para avaliar ansiedade e bem-estar em diferentes momentos (antes, imediatamente após, 30 e 60 minutos após o exercício físico). Os resultados mostraram diminuição significativa dos níveis de ansiedade após 60 minutos. do protocolo intenso (TEmax) em ambos os grupos. Já em relação ao bem-estar, houve aumento significativo na dimensão distresse psicológico após TEmax, apenas para o grupo de ansiedade traço baixa (G ATB ). Já para fadiga houve aumento imediato para ambos os grupos estudados após realização de TEmax. Nossos resultados sugerem que independente da ansiedade traço (entre baixa ou média) os jovens responderam de maneira semelhante ao exercício físico de moderada e alta intensidade em relação ao bem-estar e ansiedade, sendo o exercício físico de alta intensidade mais benéfico para estes jovens com efeito ansiolítico em ambos os grupos além de proporcionar manutenção da percepção de bem-estar. Palavras-chaveHumor; Atividade Física; Teste de Esforço; Exaustão. Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate if different trait-anxiety levels influences the perception of psychobiological aspects as fatigue and well being after moderate and high intensity physical exercise.Twenty-six health and active male youths participated in the study (age = 23.23±3.61 yr., height = 1.75±0.07 m, body mass = 73.26±8.92 kg . ). The volunteers were divided into two trait-anxiety groups (low trait-anxiety -G ATB and medium trait-anxiety -G ATM ), performing the follow experimental procedures on different days using a cycle ergometer: a) progressive cycling to voluntary exhaustion; b) a moderate-intensity constant load test on ventilatory threshold-I (VTI-30) intensity.Using a repeated measures model, questionnaires were used to assess anxiety, and well being at various time points (before exercise, immediately after exercise, and, 30, 60 minutes after exercise). Results showed decrease in anxiety level after high intensity exercise (TEmax) for both groups. In relation to well being, the psychological distress dimension was increased after TEmax only for G ATB group. Additionally, the fatigue score was increased for both groups after TEmax protocol. Doesn't matter the trait-anxiety level (between low and medium), young individuals responded in a similar way to mo...
