Abstract Little is known about the effect of whole body vibration (WBV) has on specific sports action such as taekwondo kicking technique. Fifteen individuals (10 males and 5 females; 18.6 ± 2.1 years), performed two experimental protocols on separate days: A) 1 minute exposure at 26 Hz frequency of WBV followed by countermovement jump (CMJ) test; B) 1 minute exposure at 26 Hz frequency of WBV followed by kick test. A Student's t-Test analysis was performed to evaluate the difference between performance before and after vibration intervention. The CMJ height means (cm) were 34.1 ± 6.4 before and 34.2 ± 6.5 after WBV ex...

Back to the liquid environment: effects of aquatic physiotherapy intervention performed on preterm infants
Abstract At birth, preterm newborns (PTNB) often require Neonatal-ICU hospitalization, which, despite being a care setting, also causes stress such as pain, sleep disturbances and wakefulness, and alterations of physiological parameters. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of aquatic physiotherapy on pain, sleep disturbances and wakefulness, and physiological variables of PTNB in Neonatal-ICU. Pain, sleep disturbances and wakefulness, and alterations of physiological parameters were evaluated at three moments: 5 minutes before intervention, immediately after and 10 minutes after intervention.

Body image perception and associated anthropometric and body composition indicators in the elderly
Abstract Aging leads to psychological losses and various physical changes that, associated with body-stereotyped patterns imposed by society, can cause disturbances in the body image perception (BIP) in the elderly. The aim of this study was to evaluate BIP in older adults living in the city of Campina Grande / PB and its relationship with different anthropometric and body composition indicators. This cross-sectional study was carried out with older adults of both sexes enrolled in the Family Health Strategy of Campina Grande, PB. BIP was considered as a dependent variable and body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC...

Reliability of measurements derived from the palpation method of a software for postural evaluation: does clinical experience matter?
Abstract The postural evaluation software (SAPO) has been used as a valuable tool for the analysis of postural alterations, however, such a tool depends on palpation performed by the evaluator. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the inter-and intra-examiner reliability of experienced and inexperienced examiners in measurements derived from the palpation method, and its possible influence on measurements obtained by SAPO. Nine evaluators participated in the study, which were divided into three groups according to experience with respect to palpation (GI: inexperienced group, GSE: semi-experienced group and GE: exp...

Criteria validity of the Netherlands physical activity questionnaire for children
Abstract Physical activity measurement with accuracy and precision is extremely important in establishing the dose-response relationship between levels of physical activity and the different outcome possibilities. Subjective methods of measurement, such as proxy-reports have been used as a possibility to check physical activity in children. The aim of this study was to test the Netherlands Physical Activity Questionnaire (NPAQ), valid for Brazilian schoolchildren using physical aerobic fitness as a criterion. The study included 290 children aged 6-10 years from public schools of Ita úna/MG. NPAQ was applied to parents or ...

Translation, adaptation and validation of the “Measure of older adults sedentary time” questionnaire in Brazilian older adults
Abstract Modern lifestyle is associated with prolonged exposure to sedentary behavior (SB), especially in older adults; however, there is a lack of validated questionnaires to measure SB in Brazilian older adults. The aim of this study was to adapt and validate the Brazilian version of the "Measure of Older Adults Sedentary Time" (MOST) questionnaire in Brazilian older adults. Content validity, clarity and concurrent validity of the adapted MOST were examined. Fifty-seven participants (68.7 ± 3.47 years) answered the adapted version of the MOST questionnaire and wore an ActiGraph wGT3X-BT accelerometer for seven days. Aft...

Open public spaces and physical activity facilities: study of systematic observation of the environment
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the quantity and quality of open public spaces (OPS) and physical activity (PA) facilities in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina. A descriptive survey was carried out in 2015 on the quantity, type and quality of OPS and PA facilities. The quality of OPS and PA facilities were assessed by systematic observation. A quality index of OPS (score -3 to 6 points) was divided into three categories, poor (category ≤ 0), average (0.1 to 2.9) and good quality (category ≥ 3). For analysis, descriptive statistics were used. Of the 214 OPS, the highest proportion was squares/gardens (n = ...

Assessment of critical velocity in track and treadmill: physiological profiles and relationship with 3000-meter performance
Abstract The present study aiming to verify the interference of different conditions (treadmill vs. track) on critical velocity (CV) values, as well as on the correlation to the 3000-meter performance (v3000m), and thus infer about the specificity of each values as training parameter for this distance. Seven runners (15.3 ±1.4 years) were submitted to a maximal progressive test (1.0 km×h-1 increments per minute until exhaustion) to assess V ̇ O2max and maximal aerobic velocity (vV ̇ O2max). Subsequently, CV was estimated from three running performances at each test condition, with exercise intensities adjusted for diff...
