Relation between motor perfomance and physical fi tness level of schoolchildren

Introduction: Children with poor motor performance, engage in less vigorous and organized activities, contributing to low scores in physical fi tness assessments. However, there is no consensus in the literature about the association between variables. Objective: Evaluate the relationship between motor performance and physical fi tness of students between 7 and 10 years old. Methods: Ninety-eight (98) students enrolled in a public school in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina State, Brazil, participated in this study. For motor evaluation, the Movement Assessment Battery for Children - Second Edition (MABC-2) was used; the assessment of physical fi tness was performed using the guidelines of the Brazil Sport Project (PROESP-BR). Data were tabulated in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for the descriptive statistical analysis (mean, standard deviation, frequency) and inferential analysis (Student’s t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and multiple linear regression test). The signifi cance level was set at p < 0.05. Results: The values of the prevalence of motor diffi culty and motor diffi culty risk were 5.9% and 13.9%, respectively, and the value for without diffi culty of movement was 80.2%. Differences were found for males in the agility tests and explosive strength of the lower limbs (p < 0.05), in which the boys with motor diffi culty showed lower values. We noticed that abdominal strength, endurance, and agility significantly contributed to explain the variability in motor performance, which together showed a coeffi cient of determination (R²) of 0.13. Conclusion: Abdominal strength/endurance and agility contributed signifi cantly in explaining the variability in motor performance. Thus, it is fundamental to encourage involvement in activities that contribute to the increase in motor repertoire refl ecting physical fi tness

Concurrent validation of the MABC-2 and Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire-BR

Introduction: The Movement Assessment Battery for Children, Second Edition (MABC-2) has been widely used in national literature for the diagnosis of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). The relationship of MABC-2 with the scientific gold standard instrument for DCD, the Brazilian version of the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ-BR), is not well established and is rather controversial. Objective: The aim of this study was to verify the concurrent validity of the MABC-2 motor battery and the DCDQ-BR, controlled for sex and age group. Method: The concurrent validation process took place with the participation of 350 schoolchildren aged 7–11 years from the cities of Florianopolis-SC and Manaus-AM and their parents or guardians. The agreement between instruments was assessed with the Spearman correlation test and simple linear regression using SPSS software version 20.0. Results: Positive correlation between instruments´ scales was found. Conclusion: This study showed evidence of concurrent validity between MABC-2 and DCDQ-BR, suggesting that MABC-2 can be used as an indicator for developmental coordination disorder

Indicadores de saúde em escolares: avaliação do estado nutricional e desempenho motor

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship among motor performance and nutritional status in students. Methods: Attended by 27 adolescents of both sexes, aged between 11-13 years (average 11.74 ± 0.70 years) from a private school in Florianópolis/SC. The motor performance was assessed using the MABC-2. For assess the nutritional status was used the BMI calculus. Results: Among 27 participants, 6 had a risk / indicative of motor difficulties and 9 had overweight. The vast majority of participants had adequate height for age. There was negative significant statistically correlation, but moderate, among BMI and total performance in the MABC-2, indicating that as higher the BMI, worse is the motor performance. Conclusion: Based on these results and the literature, it is suggested that in addition to the identification of children with overweight and motor difficulties, programs targeted physical activity and motor interventions are implemented, especially in the school environment, aiming to maintain the health conditions.Objetivo: Investigar a relação entre o desempenho motor e estado nutricional em escolares. Método: Participaram 27 adolescentes, de ambos os sexos, com idades de 11 a 13 anos (média 11,74 ±0,7anos), de uma escola particular de Florianópolis/SC. O desempenho motor foi avaliado por meio do MABC-2. Para aferição do estado nutricional utilizou-se o cálculo do IMC. Resultados: Dos 27 participantes, seis apresentaram risco/indicativo de dificuldades motoras e nove sobrepeso. A grande maioria dos participantes apresentou estatura adequada para a idade. Verificou-se correlação estatisticamente significativa negativa, porém moderada, entre o IMC e desempenho total no MABC-2, indicando que quanto maior o IMC, pior o desempenho motor. Conclusão: Com base nesses resultados, sugere-se que, além da identificação das crianças com sobrepeso e/ou dificuldade motora, programas direcionados à atividade física e intervenções motoras sejam implementados, em especial no ambiente escolar, visando a manutenção das condições de saúde

Root length and alveolar bone level of impacted canines and adjacent teeth after orthodontic traction: a long-term evaluation

Objective The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the long-term effects of orthodontic traction on root length and alveolar bone level in impacted canines and adjacent teeth. Material and Methods Sample consisted of 16 patients (nine males and seven females), mean initial age 11 years and 8 months presenting with unilaterally maxillary impacted canines, palatally displaced, treated with the same surgical and orthodontic approach. Teeth from the impacted-canine side were assigned as Group I (GI), and contralateral teeth as control, Group II (GII). The mean age of patients at the end of orthodontic treatment was 14 years and 2 months and the mean post-treatment time was 5 years and 11 months. Both contralateral erupted maxillary canines and adjacent teeth served as control. Root length and alveolar bone level (buccal and palatal) were evaluated on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. The comparison of root length and alveolar bone level changes between groups were assessed by applying paired t-test, at a significance level of 5% (

Enraizamento de diferentes tipos de estacas de pinhão manso em dois substratos

A escassez de combustíveis fósseis tem promovido a busca de opções para substituir esses combustíveis por semelhantes com mesma eficiência. O experimento foi realizado em casa de vegetação tipo Pad & Fan do Departamento de Fitotecnia, Tecnologia de Alimentos e Sócio Economia da Faculdade de Engenharia – Campus de Ilha Solteira da Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 3 x 2 (tipos de estacas x substrato), totalizando 6 tratamentos com 4 repetições e 10 estacas por parcela. A utilização de vermiculita permitiu a obtenção de valores para porcentagem de estacas vivas muito próximas para estacas basais (82,5%), medianas (80,0%) e apicais (60,0%). As estacas basais, independentemente do tipo de substrato são aquelas que permitem uma maior obtenção de porcentagem de estacas vivas, massa da matéria seca das brotações e das raízes, comprimento dos brotos, número de brotos e número de folhas com mais de 2,0 cm. O substrato vermiculita proporciona uma maior porcentagem de estacas vivas e número de folhas. A massa da matéria seca de raízes é maior quando da utilização do substrato areia

AVALIAÇÃO DO DESEMPENHO DE ESCOLARES EM TESTES DE APTIDÃO FÍSICA

O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho de escolares em testes de aptidão física. A amostra foi composta por 88 escolares, dos quais 43 eram do sexo feminino e 45 do masculino. O instrumento utilizado foi à bateria de teste e medidas PROESP-BR contendo 5 itens: Teste de velocidade (corrida de 20m); Teste de agilidade (quadrado); Teste de força explosiva de membros inferiores (salto horizontal); Teste de força explosiva de membros superiores (arremesso de medicine ball) e resistência cardiorrespiratória (corrida de 6 minutos). Percebe-se que a maioria dos escolares apresentou níveis de aptidão física abaixo do esperado, principalmente nos componentes de força explosiva de membros inferiores, agilidade, velocidade e aptidão cardiorrespiratória. Sugere-se uma melhor caracterização dessa população, para que políticas públicas de incentivo a atividade física visando melhorar os índices de aptidão física de escolares possam ser criadas. Descritores: Aptidão Física; Criança; Atividade Física

Renal Evaluation in Common Variable Immunodeficiency

Introduction. Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by impaired antibody production. Kidney involvement in CVID is described in isolated and sporadic case reports. The objective of this study was to study the renal function pattern in CVID patients through glomerular and tubular function tests. Methods. Study of 12 patients with CVID diagnosis and 12 healthy control individuals. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), fractional excretion of sodium (FENa+) and potassium (FEK+), urinary concentration, and acidification capacity were measured. In addition, microalbuminuria and urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were evaluated as markers of selectivity of the glomerular barrier and inflammation, respectively. Results. In relation to glomerular markers, all CVID patients had normal GFR (>90 mL/min/1.73 m2), and microalbuminuria and urinary MCP-1 levels were also similar to those of controls. Interestingly, CVID patients had reduced urinary concentration capacity, as demonstrated by lower U/POsm ratio, when compared to controls. Also, while all control subjects achieved a urinary pH less than 5.3, no CVID patients showed a decrease in urinary pH to such levels in response to acid loading with CaCl2, characterizing impaired urinary acidification capacity. Conclusion. Patients showed a trend towards an elevated prevalence of tubular dysfunction, mainly related to urinary acidification and concentration capacities
