Fitness program in musicians.

Objective: To determine the effect of a fitness program in the posture of instrumentalists from the University of Cauca, applied during 2015. Method: A descriptive longitudinal quasi-experimental study was conducted in 9 members of the Wind Ensemble of Metal Music program; The information was collected through a tab that were reported sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle and muscle strength; with Kinovea program, the position of the upper quadrant was evaluated; and then a fitness program was applied; after the implementation of the program, the position of the upper quadrant and muscle strength was revalued. Results: With the application of fitness program, 100% of participants showed a reduction in deviation angles upper quadrant, mainly skull and vertebral angle in the alignment of the cervical-thoracic spine in the side view. Conclusion: With the application of fitness program, a positive clinical change manifested in decreasing degrees of alteration in postural angles of the upper quadrant evidence.Objetivo: Determinar el efecto de un programa de acondicionamiento físico en la postura de músicos instrumentistas de la Universidad del Cauca, aplicado durante el año 2015. Método: Se realizó un estudio cuasi experimental longitudinal descriptivo, en 9 integrantes del Ensamble de Vientos de Metal del programa de Música de la Universidad del Cauca; la información se colecto mediante una ficha en la que se reportaron las características sociodemográficas, los estilos de vida y la fuerza muscular; con el programa Kinovea, se evaluó la postura del cuadrante superior; y luego se aplicó un programa de acondicionamiento físico; luego de la aplicación del programa, se revaluó la postura del cuadrante superior y la fuerza muscular. Resultados: Con la aplicación del programa de acondicionamiento físico, el 100% de los participantes presentaron reducción en los ángulos de desviación del cuadrante superior, principalmente del ángulo cráneo vertebral y en la alineación de la columna cervico-dorsal en la vista lateral. Conclusión: Con la aplicación del programa de acondicionamiento físico, se evidencia un cambio clínico positivo manifestado en la disminución de los grados de alteración en los ángulos posturales del cuadrante superior

Health promotion in school environment in Brazil

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE Evaluate the school environments to which ninth-year students are exposed in Brazil and in the five regions of the country according to health promotion guidelines. METHODS Cross-sectional study from 2012, with a representative sample of Brazil and its macroregions. We interviewed ninth-year schoolchildren and managers of public and private schools. We proposed a score of health promotion in the school environment (EPSAE) and estimated the distribution of school members according to this score. Crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) were used, by ordinal regression, to determine the schoolchildren and schools with higher scores, according to the independent variables. RESULTS A student is more likely to attend a school with a higher EPSAE in the South (OR = 2.80; 95%CI 2.67–2.93) if the school is private (OR = 4.52; 95%CI 4.25–4.81) and located in a state capital, as well as if the student is 15 years of age or older, has a paid job, or has parents with higher education. CONCLUSIONS The inequalities among the country’s regions and schools are significant, demonstrating the need for resources and actions that promote greater equity
