abstract = {Purpose: Maintenance cardiac rehabilitation (M-CR) programs aim to preserve the health benefits achieved during phase II cardiac rehabilitation (CR). The aim of this study was to establish the effects of M-CR on functional capacity, quality of life, risk factors, costs, mortality, and morbidity, among other outcomes.
Methods: Scopus, ISI Web of Science, PubMed, Embase \& Embase classic OVID, and Lilacs were searched. Randomized controlled trials, published between 2000 and 2016, on the effects of M-CR in patients with cardiovascular disease, who had graduated from CR, having a control or comparison arm were included. Citations were processed by two authors, independently. Methodological quality was assessed using PEDro, and level of evidence graded with the Scottish scale. Outcomes were qualitatively synthesized.
Results: The searches retrieved 1901 studies with 26 articles meeting inclusion criteria (3752 participants). Some trials tested M-CR in nonclinical settings, and others used resistance or high-intensity interval training. The methodological quality of 11 articles was good, with a level of evidence (1+) and a grade B recommendation. Results showed M-CR resulted in increased or maintained functional capacity, quality of life, and physical activity levels, when compared with the control. No adverse events were reported. Few studies assessed rehospitalizations and mortality.
Conclusion: This review summarized the available evidence about the effects of maintenance cardiac rehabilitation (M-CR) on different outcomes. Results showed M-CR resulted in increased quality of life, functional capacity, and physical activity levels, when compared with the control.},

Objective: To evaluate the acute effect of moderate intensity physical exercise on spirometric variables in asthmatic subjects.
Methodology: A before-and-after type quasi-experimental design. Ten subjects were included (mean age= 23 ± 4 years), which were divided into two groups: five asthmatic subjects and five healthy subjects. Both groups performed 10 min of warm-up, 20 min of treadmill exercise at an intensity of 60 % of the Heart Rate Reserve, and a final cool-down of 5 minutes. Lung function was assessed before and 15 minutes after exercise.
Results: There were statistically significant differences between groups (with asthma = 6 % vs. without asthma = -1 %, p = 0.03) in the pre-post-exercise changes of the ratio of the forced expiratory volume in one second and the forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC). The multivariate analysis showed that post-exercise FVC in subjects with asthma was significantly lower than in subjects without asthma, after adjusting for the baseline assessment and total body mass.
Conclusion: Moderate-intensity exercise on a treadmill did not shows clinically significant differences on the changes pre-post exercise of the studied spirometric variables, since the changes on FEV1 or FVC did not exceed 10 % having as reference the baseline evaluation.},

abstract = {Introduction: Physical exercise in the fasting state has been a controversial topic; however, some studies have shown a greater loss of body fat and better glycemic control in those who participate in aerobic training when fasting. Aim: To evaluate the glycemic response after a session of moderate or vigorous physical exercise in young women in the state of fasting. Material and method: A randomized clinical trial was carried out. Twenty-six women (19 to 22 years old) were randomly assigned to two intervention groups. The first group was trained at an intensity of 70% of maximum heart rate (MHR) for 30 minutes, and the second group at an intensity of 90% MHR for 15 minutes. Height (cm), weight (Kg), body mass index (BMI), fat percentage, and maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) during a stress test were evaluated. Blood glucose levels were checked before and after the exercise session of each group. Results: No significant changes were found in post-exercise blood glucose levels in any experimental group, and the existing differences were not statistically significant. Conclusions: Moderate or vigorous physical exercise during fasting did not show significant variations in blood glucose, which suggests that it is safe for healthy young women to train when fasting.},

Results: most reports have a good attitude towards physical exercise and 42.4% meet the recommendations of PA according to WHO. In the exploratory analysis, the attitude related to achieving the recommendations of physical activity was, I am satisfied with the education in physical exercise I have received. Those who reported disagree, strongly disagree, neither agree nor disagree met lesser extent these recommendations (p = 0.039). Conclusions: all the participants evaluated recommend having good physical activity habits, exercising, and also they suggest AF to prevent and deal with illnesses. On the other hand, it was noticed that not being satisfied with the academic knowledge learned about physical exercise can be an obstacle to follow all the physical activity recommendations.},

The dependent variable was functional capacity assessed by the modified Bruce and Bruce protocols. The main independent variable was participation in the fitness program. Simple and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to establish the variables associated with functional capacity.
Results: We found that the subjects who attended the program achieved 2.57 MET above those who did not attend the program (P=.003), adjusted for history of hypertension and obesity. Conversely, obese people reached 3.04 MET less when compared with non-obese individuals, adjusted for program assistance and hypertension (P=.003).
Conclusions: In the adjusted analysis, an association was found between participation in a fitness program and functional capacity. Thus, inclusion and participation of subjects who have received percutaneous revascularization in a fitness program within their rehabilitation process is recommended.},

Isquitotibiales stretching was performed in supine position, maximum hip flexion; knee extended and foot dorsiflexed using an elastic band, 3 times per week for a 3-week period. The main outcome was a change in HF-ROM left and right at the end of the intervention. We used the Student t-test and the ANOVA.
Results: The differences between before and after measurements in G15 and G30 were statistically significant for the right HF-ROM. No significant differences were found neither in the right HF-ROM of the G60 group or in any group of the left HF-ROM. There were no differences in the increase in HF-ROM between groups or between hemi-bodies (p\>0.05).
Conclusion: The passive static stretching of 15 to 30 s duration was effective in increasing the right HF-ROM. Future studies are needed with an adequate sample size to detect differences in the increase of HF-ROM depending on the duration of stretching and hemi-body.},
