O PERFIL DA RESISTÊNCIA AERÓBICA DOS ALUNOS INGRESSANTES DO CURSO DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA EM 2010/2.

A Resistncia a capacidade fsica que permite ao atleta superao da fadiga durante o exerccio fsico, pois a sua prtica mantm a vida til e saudvel. A Resistncia Aerbica tem como medida o consumo mximo de oxignio (VO2 max.), indispensvel para esforos de longa durao, dentro de um limite do equilbrio fisiolgico denominado steady state (estado estvel). A Resistncia Aerbica uma capacidade fsica bsica de todas as modalidades esportivas, e tambm auxilia na vida cotidiana, relacionada diretamente com a sade. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a Resistncia Aerbica dos alunos ingressantes do curso de Educao Fsica no ano de 2010/2. O estudo foi descritivo com a participao de 08 (oito) alunos do sexo masculino e 07 (sete) do sexo feminino. O teste foi realizado na pista de atletismo do Ceulji/Ulbra, utilizando o protocolo de Klissouras (1993) para mensurar o VO2 max. dos participantes atravs da corrida de 1000 metros, com o objetivo de percorrer a distncia no menor tempo possvel. Aps percorrerem o percurso, foi adorada a frmula: VO2 max = 652, 17 - tempo (seg)/ 6,762. Os resultados demonstraram que os homens obtiveram a mdia de VO2 max em 55,74 ml de O2/kg.min, com o desvio padro de 3,90 ml de O2 /kg.min.A mdia de idade dos rapazes foi de 24 anos, (desvio padro de 7,17 anos). As mulheres obtiveram o VO2 max. de 43,86 ml de O2 /kg.min (desvio padro foi de 3,90 ml de O2/ kg.min). A mdia de idade das mulheres foi de 24,03 anos (desvio padro de 6,1anos). Os resultados indicaram, depois de comparados com a tabela de referncia de Cooper (1972), que os alunos obtiveram um excelente resultado diante do teste de Resistncia Aerbica. Conclumos que os alunos ingressantes do Curso de Educao Fsica apresentaram tima performance relacionadas a Resistncia Aerbica, no entanto, recomenda-se novos estudos desta capacidade fsica com outros protocolos como o de Cooper (12 minutos), em esteira e ciclo-ergmetro.

Support for Arbitrary Regions in XSL-FO ♦

latex, SVG, digital printing This paper proposes an extension of the XSL-FO standard which allows the specification of an unlimited number of arbitrarily shaped page regions. These extensions are built on top of XSL-FO 1.1 to enable flow content to be laid out into arbitrary shapes and allowing for page layouts currently available only to desktop publishing software. Such a proposal is expected to leverage XSL-FO towards usage as an enabling technology in the generation of content intended for personalized printing

Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) outbreak in blue-and-gold macaws (Ara ararauna) in the State of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil

ABSTRACT: Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) is a lethal and important disease of captive psittacine birds, and affects a wide range of species, including endangered ones, and lacks an effective treatment. This report describes PDD in three blue-and-gold macaws (Ara ararauna) in southern Brazil. All three macaws originated from the same aviary and presented similar clinical signs including anorexia, apathy, emaciation and prostration. At necropsy, one of the macaws presented an enlarged proventriculus. Histologically, lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates was observed in the ganglia and nerves of the esophagus, crop, proventriculus, ventriculus, heart, adrenal glands, and adrenal medulla of all three cases. Two macaws had meningoencephalomyelitis and one had myocarditis. Immunohistochemistry identified PaBV antigen in the brain, proventricular, ventricular ganglia, and epicardial ganglia, and cardiomyocytes of all three macaws

Implementation of a Brazilian Cardioprotective Nutritional (BALANCE) Program for improvement on quality of diet and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events: A randomized, multicenter trial

Background: Appropriate dietary recommendations represent a key part of secondary prevention in cardiovascular disease (CVD). We evaluated the effectiveness of the implementation of a nutritional program on quality of diet, cardiovascular events, and death in patients with established CVD. Methods: In this open-label, multicenter trial conducted in 35 sites in Brazil, we randomly assigned (1:1) patients aged 45 years or older to receive either the BALANCE Program (experimental group) or conventional nutrition advice (control group). The BALANCE Program included a unique nutritional education strategy to implement recommendations from guidelines, adapted to the use of affordable and regional foods. Adherence to diet was evaluated by the modified Alternative Healthy Eating Index. The primary end point was a composite of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, stroke, myocardial revascularization, amputation, or hospitalization for unstable angina. Secondary end points included biochemical and anthropometric data, and blood pressure levels. Results: From March 5, 2013, to Abril 7, 2015, a total of 2534 eligible patients were randomly assigned to either the BALANCE Program group (n = 1,266) or the control group (n = 1,268) and were followed up for a median of 3.5 years. In total, 235 (9.3%) participants had been lost to follow-up. After 3 years of follow-up, mean modified Alternative Healthy Eating Index (scale 0-70) was only slightly higher in the BALANCE group versus the control group (26.2 ± 8.4 vs 24.7 ± 8.6, P <.01), mainly due to a 0.5-serving/d greater intake of fruits and of vegetables in the BALANCE group. Primary end point events occurred in 236 participants (18.8%) in the BALANCE group and in 207 participants (16.4%) in the control group (hazard ratio, 1.15; 95% CI 0.95-1.38; P =.15). Secondary end points did not differ between groups after follow-up. Conclusions: The BALANCE Program only slightly improved adherence to a healthy diet in patients with established CVD and had no significant effect on the incidence of cardiovascular events or death. © 2019 The Author
