“…Some of these benefits include increased muscular strength, endurance and power, as well as improved motor performance and ergonomic tasks, increased cardiovascular fitness, lean body mass and tissue tensile strength including bone mineral density, improved blood lipid profiles, decreased pain and reduced psychological stress [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54].…”

Comprehensive elements of a physiotherapy exercise programme in haemophilia – a global perspective

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Summary. Exercise programmes for people with haemophilia are usually designed and implemented to help manage the recovery after a haemarthrosis or a muscle bleed, or as a tool to help prevent bleeding episodes from occurring. In this article, we have identified individual components of exercise that are often applied as separate entities, but may also need to be implemented in concert for optimized impact. Although it may be necessary on occasion to bias an exercise programme towards one component over the others, it is important to recognize that the various elements of exercise are not mutually exclusive. Decreased flexibility, strength and proprioception, will result in an impairment of balance and a loss of function. Programme design should whenever possible be guided by proven methodology in terms of how each component is incorporated, and more specifically how long to perform the exercise for and how many repetitions should be performed. We recognize, however, that this is not always possible and that there is significant value in drawing from the experience of clinicians with specialized training in the management of haemophilia. In this study, both perspectives are presented, providing reference‐based reviews of the mechanics of the various elements of exercise as well as the expert opinions of the authors. Research that has been completed using patients with conditions other than haemophilia may or may not have a direct application with the bleeding disorders population, but the programme design based on principles of tissue healing in addition to disease specific knowledge should be encouraged.

“…In the last decade, young athletes have been on the spotlight in many sports 1 which require high level of motor skill and training 1 . Moreover, the search for a physical appearance model set by the media also makes adolescents look for physical and/or sports activities with high intensity and training volume 2 .…”

Introduction: The practice of moderate-intensity exercise can reduce the risk of infections and improve metabolic aspects of the person. Objective: To investigate the effects of aerobic physical training on endocrine and metabolic aspects, bone and immune systems. Methods: Twenty Wistar rats were divided in two groups: sedentary (SG) and trained group (TG). Training program consisted in swimming, 6 weeks, supporting a workload corresponding to 5% of body weight. At the end of the experiment, were performed counting total and differential leukocyte count and hematocrit. After training period, were analyzed glucose, total protein, triglycerides, cholesterol, liver and muscle samples for the determination of the levels of glycogen, and determination of the tibia length and bone area. All dependent variables were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a significance level of P < 0.05 was used for all comparisons. Results: Hematocrit (%) analyzed showed a significant difference, with higher values for TG (54.63 ± 1.41) than for the SG (49.5 ± 1.65). The total leukocyte count was not significantly different, as there was no difference in the differential count. Total cholesterol showed significant decrease in TG (TG = 68.27 ± 13.71 mg/dL; SG = 94.44 ± 28.09), the total protein levels also showed significant reduction (TG = 7.3 ± 0.40 g/dL; SG = 7.74 ± 0.36 g/dL) glucose levels and triglyceride showed no significant differences. The bone length showed significant difference (TG = 40±0.14 mm; SG = 42.10 ± 0.12mm). Tibial area showed a lower value for TG (1.53 ± 0.12cm²) than for SG (1.67 ± 0.18cm²); however, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: It can be concluded that aerobic exercise training is able to produce some unique physiological changes in young rats. There is also the need to prescribe exercises that meet the particular maturational stage of development.

“…27,28 Children and adolescents cannot only learn advanced strength training exercises but can have fun while doing so and still experience increased physical performance and increased selfesteem. 27 In our intrahospital gymnasium, all strengthtraining exercises are supervised by exercise physiologists and qualified fitness instructors (one instructor for every two children).…”

“…25,26 Currently, public health objectives include increasing the number of boys and girls (age 6 years and older) who regularly participate in physical activities that enhance and maintain muscular fitness. 27 If appropriate training guidelines are followed (ie, qualified instruction, competent supervision, and an appropriate progression of the volume and intensity of training), regular participation in a strength-training program has the potential to increase bone mineral density, improve motor performance skills, enhance physical capacity, and overall health and fitness status. 27,28 Children and adolescents cannot only learn advanced strength training exercises but can have fun while doing so and still experience increased physical performance and increased selfesteem.…”
