(2024-02-09) Cavalcante, Anderson; Farah, Breno Quintella; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6914216878368661; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4871147676147788
Introduction: Sedentary behavior involves remaining in a seated, reclined, and/or lying position with metabolic expenditure equal to or similar to basal values for extended periods. This behavior poses health risks, such as affecting blood pressure and endothelial function, among other issues. Reducing sedentary behavior is crucial, and there are potential ways to decrease it, although their feasibility has not been thoroughly analyzed. Isometric wall squat exercises may be a viable strategy. Objective: To assess the Acceptability, adherence, and safety of unsupervised isometric wall squat exercises as a strategy to break sedentary behavior in university students. Methods: Five students participated in the training group (GT) and performed isometric wall squats every hour with intensity determined by incremental testing over 12 weeks. Acceptability, adherence, and safety of the intervention were evaluated at the end of the eighth week. Results: The GT demonstrated 60% acceptability, with a 50% adherence rate. No health problems were reported by the participants. Conclusion: The isometric wall squat appears to be safe with good adherence and acceptability as a break in sedentary behavior in higher education students.

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a noninvasive and effective measure used to identify cardiovascular risk in several populations. Previous studies have shown a positive relationship between HRV and physical activity among adolescents, indicating that a higher habitual physical activity level is related with higher HRV, regardless of obesity and hypertension. However, no study analyzed the association between HRV and participation in physical education classes, environment with the possibility of physical activity practices. This research may strengthen the idea that school physical education contributes to improve the health of adolescents, especially males who are more exposed to cardiovascular risk than girls. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the impact of physical education classes on HRV parameters in male adolescents. The study included 1152 male adolescents (16.6 ± 1.2 years). Participation in physical education classes was evaluated, being divided into: 0 classes, 1 class and ≥2 classes; the parameters of HRV in the time domain (SDNN, RMSSD, pNN50) and frequency (BF, AF), arterial pressure and waist circumference of adolescents were also evaluated. A comparison of means with ANOVA was performed to analyze HRV parameters and physical education classes. There was no statistically significant difference regarding the number of physical education classes per week with the HRV parameters in the time domain: SDNN (0 classes = 62.5 ± 23.7; 1 class = 62.1 ± 23.9; ≥2 classes = 61.2 ± 23.1 [p = 0.77]); RMSSD (0 classes = 54.7 ± 28.9; 1 class = 53.8 ± 28.4; ≥2 classes = 55.3 ± 30.1 [p = 0.72]); PNN50 (0 classes = 29.3 ± 20.0; 1 class = 29.1 ± 20.1; ≥2 classes = 29.1 ± 20.1 [p = 0.83]); and in the frequency domain: BF (0 classes = 53.2 ± 16.0; 1 class = 53.3 ± 15.4; ≥2 classes = 52.3 ± 15.4 [p = 0.61]); PA (0 classes = 46.8 ± 16.0; 1 class = 46.8 ± 15.4; ≥2 classes = 47.7 ± 15.4 [p = 0.61]); and BF / AF (0 classes = 1.46 ± 1.1; 1 class = 1.46 ± 1.1; ≥2 classes = 1.40 ± 1.0 [p = 0.60]). It was concluded that physical education classes are not associated with HRV in male adolescents, showing little impact on the integrity of the Autonomic Nervous System, consequently on the cardiovascular health of adolescents.
Impactos da pandemia da COVID-19 nas aulas de educação física: um estudo de revisão narrativa

The last few years have been marked by the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus that has hit the whole world. This led to the stop of services, one of them was the school service. In view of this, an ordinance was published, Diário Oficial da União, which provides for the suspension of face-to-face classes in public and private schools, a fact that generated several repercussions on teaching methodologies in different disciplines. Therefore, the objective of this work was to analyze the main impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on Physical Education classes. To this end, a narrative review was used, which included 12 original scientific studies and of reviews, taken from SciELO, PubMed, LILACS and journals classified between A2 to B2 by Qualis Capes, laws and ordinances to understand the impact of COVID-19 on Physical Education classes. The results are presented qualitatively and quantitatively, they showed a greater impact on learning in low-income students compared to high-income students, difficulties in the availability of space for carrying out activities, in addition to obstacles in the educational process. A considerable part of Physical Education teachers in Brazilian basic education had to re-signify their teaching practices to adapt to the remote teaching format, there was also a low adherence to classes by students due to access to the necessary technological resources for class participation, in addition to the work overload sustained by teachers and the social differences between the poorest sections of the population in terms of access to education. Many problems that existed before the pandemic persisted during it. In this way, it appears that the pandemic negatively affected, to a large extent, the conduction of Physical Education classes in the remote format.
Prevalência de hipertensão em crianças e adolescentes escolares do Brasil: um estudo de revisão

INTRODUCTION: Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is a multifactorial disease characterized by high and sustained blood pressure levels during 24 hours. The problems related to cardiovascular diseases in adulthood arise in the early stages of life, requiring constant assessment of blood pressure. In Brazil there is a large number of studies related to the prevalence of hypertension in adults, but the data for school children and adolescents are outdated. OBJECTIVE: Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of hypertension in school children and adolescents in Brazil. METHODOLOGY: This study is a narrative review, which was performed through the databases: PUBMED, LILACS, SCIELO, using the keywords: Hypertension, high blood pressure, adolescents, children, students, students, school. Inclusion criteria were: 1) Original articles, 2) Articles with children and / or adolescents, 3) School background, 4) Made in Brazil. From this we removed the following information: name of the authors, year of publication, sample characteristics, methods used and the results. No date restrictions. RESULT: 27 national studies of hypertension prevalence in Brazilian school-age children and adolescents were selected. The studies are distributed between the Southeast (37%), South (29%), Northeast (27%) and Midwest (7%) regions. The total sample was 20,792 students. The prevalence of hypertension found in children (6 to 10 years) was 2.3% to 16.2%, with an average of 10.6%, in adolescents (10 to 19 years) was 10.2% and 19, 4% with an average of 14.3%, while in children and adolescents (6 to 17 years) it was 2.9% to 42.8% with an average of 14.2%. The Northeast region had the highest prevalence of hypertension and public schools had an average prevalence of 14.9%. CONCLUSION: The data presented indicated that the prevalence of hypertension in school children and adolescents is higher than that found in the last two systematic reviews. Altered blood pressure levels should be identified as early as possible to prevent future complications.
