The aim of this study was to carry out a literature review on the overall benefits of resistance training (RT) after stroke and undertake a critical analysis of the resistance exercise programs surveyed (rest interval between sets and exercises, number of sets, number of repetitions, intensity, duration of training, and weekly frequency). To obtain articles for the review, we searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro). Inclusion criteria were considered using the PICO (population, intervention, control/comparison, and outcome variables) model. The following characteristics were recorded for all articles: type of study, author, year of publication, participants (time after stroke, sample size, and age), benefits of RT, and structured resistance exercise programs. Positive effects of training were found on anxiety status, quality of life, muscle hypertrophy, cognitive function, strength, and muscle power. Only 5 studies described the main variables of RT in detail. Lack of control of some variables of RT may negatively affect the results of this practice. The findings of the present study may further inform health and physical conditioning professionals on the importance and necessity of using the main variables in the search for benefits for individuals with stroke.

Objective.To systematically assess the effects of yoga on pain, mobility, and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods.Pubmed, Medline, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), and other sources were searched systematically in this study. Two reviewers identified eligible studies and extracted data independently. Downs and Black’s Quality Index were used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included studies.Results.A total of 9 articles (6 studies) involving 372 patients with knee osteoarthritis met the inclusion criteria. The most common yoga protocol is 40~90 minutes/session, lasting for at least 8 weeks. The effect of yoga on pain relief and function improvement could be seen after two-week intervention.Conclusion.This systematic review showed that yoga might have positive effects in relieving pain and mobility on patients with KOA, but the effects on quality of life (QOL) are unclear. Besides, more outcome measure related to mental health of yoga effects on people with KOA should be conducted.

La dinapenia pediátrica es una condición seria que ha visto incrementada su prevalencia entre los niños de hoy en día. Este fenómeno está caracterizado por bajos niveles de fuerza y potencia que no son consecuencia de una enfermedad y que generan limitaciones funcionales en el rendimiento de las habilidades motrices, así como alteraciones cardiometabólicas. Para evitar esta condición e incrementar la salud y el bienestar de los niños y adolescentes es necesario incluir, dentro de la práctica regular de actividad física, un programa de entrenamiento de fuerza. Se ha comprobado que el entrenamiento de fuerza tiene un papel fundamental a la hora de prevenir y controlar la dinapenia pediátrica. No obstante, requiere de una combinación específica entre investigadores, médicos y entrenadores de forma que permita diseñar e implementar de forma segura programas de entrenamiento de fuerza progresivos y adecuados a las necesidades y habilidades de los niños. Esta revisión recoge las principales aportaciones respecto al entrenamiento de fuerza pediátrico y proporciona datos basados en la evidencia para prevenir y controlar la dinapenia pediátrica en los niños.  La participación regular en programas de entrenamiento de fuerza contribuirá a prevenir la dinapenia pediátrica en las primeras etapas de la vida. Por tanto, los niños tendrán más posibilidad de ganar confianza y de adquirir las competencias necesarias para aumentar sus posibilidades físicas y de esta forma podrán cumplir en mayor y mejor medida la cantidad de ejercicio diario recomendado. La intervención se hace especialmente necesaria para mejorar los niveles de fuerza y potencia en los niños ya que, de no ser así, se dificultará en gran medida la posibilidad de prevenir una cascada de consecuencias adversas para la salud en etapas posteriores.Abstract. Pediatric dynapenia is a serious condition with a growing prevalence within youth nowadays. This phenomenon is characterized by low levels of strength and power not provoked by any disease, which produce functional limitations in motor skill performance and consequent cardio-metabolic abnormalities. In order to improve this condition and enhance the health and well-being of children and adolescents, regular participation in physical activities including resistance training is needed. The unique role of resistance training in preventing and managing pediatric dynapenia implies a joint effort from researchers, clinicians and practitioners in order to design, implement and safely progress developmentally appropriate resistance exercise programs consistent with each child’s needs and abilities. This review synthesizes the latest information on youth resistance training and provides evidence-based rationale for preventing and managing pediatric dynapenia in youth. Regular participation in resistance exercise programs in early ages prevent pediatric dynapenia. Consequently, youth will be more likely to gain confidence and competence on their physical abilities and accumulate the recommended amount of daily exercise. Interventions in schools and communities are needed to increase muscular strength and power in youth, with the aim to prevent inevitable cascade of adverse health consequences later in individuals’ life.

Abstract Purpose of Review The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of recent findings concerning the utilization of resistance exercise (RE) in prostate cancer (PCa), in particular as pertaining to the management of cancer therapy side effects. Recent Findings As of late, studies investigating the effects of RE in PCa patients have found positive effects on muscle strength, body composition, physical functioning, quality of life, and fatigue. The combination of RE and impact training appears to decrease the loss of bone mineral density. RE seems to be well accepted and tolerated, even by patients with bone metastatic disease, although a modification of the RE prescription is often necessary. Summary In PCa patients, RE has been well-researched and the data are clear that it is beneficial in multiple ways. Future directions should look at the long-term effects of RE, including mortality and relapse, as well as implementation of exercise programs.

Objective The goal of this review is to ascertain the extent to which the current body of research on the role of exercise in multiple sclerosis (MS) provides sufficiently strong evidence to guide regular exercise prescription. Methods We searched CINAHL, COCHRANE, EMBASE, and MEDLINE between 1950 and December 2007 with combinations of MeSH terms and keywords. We assessed the methodological quality of selected randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of exercise interventions using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale and evaluated the effects of the exercise interventions by calculating effect sizes (ES) for the target outcomes. Results Eleven RCTs met the criteria, all with acceptable methodological quality. The ES ranged from −0.36 to 3.50 on the target outcomes. Only one study had 95% confidence intervals clearly excluding a value of 0. Measures of body functions and structures and activities were the most common target outcomes of interventions. Conclusion Although there was some evidence to support positive effects of exercise on physical and psychosocial functioning and on quality of life, our review revealed insufficient research in this area, making it difficult to guide regular exercise prescription. Furthermore, it also emphasizes the methodological challenges in these RCTs leading us to believe that there is a great need for high quality RCTs in this area, contributing evidence for regular exercise and physical activity prescription for persons with MS.

Nos últimos anos, avanços importantes foram estabelecidos nos critérios diagnósticos do diabetes mellitus e no conhecimento de novas estratégias de tratamento e controle como o exercício aeróbico e resistido. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar uma revisão de literatura acerca dos benefícios do treinamento aeróbico e resistido na redução da glicemia em jejum de diabéticos tipo 2. Na pesquisa foram utilizados artigos publicados entre os anos de 1992 a 2017, nos bancos de dados:  Google Acadêmico, Bireme, Scielo e Pub Med. O Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 é uma patologia, em que as células β do pâncreas apresentam um déficit na síntese e liberação de insulina resultando um quadro hiperglicêmico, sendo observado que o treinamento aeróbio facilita a redução da glicemia sanguínea. Já o treino resistido favorece a captação de glicose, por meio da contração muscular, através do receptor GLUT-4, reduzindo a hiperglicemia em jejum nessa patologia. No treino aeróbio e combinado houve redução, mas não tanto quanto o resistido. Em conclusão, foi observado que para a redução da glicemia em jejum no diabetes tipo 2, o exercício resistido é a modalidade mais indicada, tendo como alternativa o combinado por fazer uma junção do aeróbio e resistido em uma sessão de exercícios, favorecendo maior qualidade de vida aos diabéticos. Palavras-chave: Glicemia.

Thus, the objective of the present study was to perform a literature review about the benefits of aerobic and resistance training in the  fasting glycemia reduction in type 2 diabetics. In the research, articles published between the years 1992 to 2017 were used in the databases:  Scholar Google, Bireme, Scielo and Pub Med Diabetes Mellitus type 2 is a pathology in which the pancreas β cells present a deficit in the insulin synthesis and release resulting in a hyperglycemic condition, being observed that the aerobic training facilitates the reduction of the blood glucose levels. Resistance training favors the  glucose uptake through muscle contraction by the GLUT-4 receptor, reducing fasting hyperglycemia in this pathology. In the aerobic and combined training there was reduction, but not as much as the resisted one. In conclusion, it was observed that for the reduction of fasting glycemia in type 2 diabetes, resistance exercise is the most indicated modality, having as an alternative the combination of aerobic and resistance in an exercise session favoring a higher quality of life to diabetics people. Keywords: Glycemia.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of kinesio taping on shoulder disorders, as a single treatment modality or as conjunction to other treatments. Data sources: MEDLINE, PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database), The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase and OpenGrey databases were searched for trials published before 5 February 2020. Methods: This study was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guideline statement. Randomized controlled trials published in English or Turkish were included. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed with the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale. For analysis of continuous data, mean differences (MDs) or standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used. The I2 statistics was used to measure the heterogeneity. Results: Fourteen studies were included with 680 participants. Kinesio taping did not produce better results on pain compared to sham (MD by –0.77 (95% CI = –1.77, 0.22), P = 0.13), exercises (MD by –0.51 (95% CI = –1.41, 0.39), P = 0.27), or passive treatments (MD by –0.29 (95% CI = –0.77, 0.19), P = 0.24). Similarly, kinesio taping did not found superior to sham kinesio taping (SMD by –0.01 (95% CI = –0.31, 0.29), P = 0.94), exercises (SMD by 0.41 (95% CI = –0.25, 1.07), P = 0.22), or passive treatments on function (SMD by –0.02 (95% CI = –0.19, 0.15), P = 0.82). There was no significant SMD on range of motion (ROM) by –0.07 (95% CI = –0.47, 0.33, P = 0.74) compared to sham kinesio taping and –0.06 (95% CI = –0.20, 0.09, P = 0.46) compared to passive treatment. Overall, effect size was found small to moderate. Conclusion: Despite reported positive effects in some studies, there is no firm evidence of any benefit of kinesio taping on shoulder disorders.

Whole body vibration has been proven to improve the health status of patients with fibromyalgia, providing an activation of the neuromuscular spindles, which are responsible for muscle contraction. The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two types of whole body vibrating platforms (vertical and rotational) during a 12-week training program. Sixty fibromyalgia patients (90% were women) were randomly assigned to one of the following groups: group A (n = 20), who performed the vibration training with a vertical platform; group B (n = 20), who did rotational platform training; or a control group C (n = 20), who did not do any training. Sensitivity measures (pressure pain and vibration thresholds), quality of life (Quality of Life Index), motor function tasks (Berg Scale, six-minute walking test, isometric back muscle strength), and static and dynamic balance (Romberg test and gait analysis) were assessed before, immediately after, and three months after the therapy program. Although both types of vibration appeared to have beneficial effects with respect to the control group, the training was more effective with the rotational than with vertical platform in some parameters, such as vibration thresholds (p < 0.001), motor function tasks (p < 0.001), mediolateral sway (p < 0.001), and gait speed (p < 0.05). Nevertheless, improvements disappeared in the follow-up in both types of vibration. Our study points out greater benefits with the use of rotational rather than vertical whole body vibration. The use of the rotational modality is recommended in the standard therapy program for patients with fibromyalgia. Due to the fact that the positive effects of both types of vibration disappeared during the follow-up, continuous or intermittent use is recommended.
