EARLY SPORT PRACTICE PROMOTES BETTER METABOLIC PROFILE INDEPENDENTLY OF CURRENT PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Journal Title: Medicina Sportiva - Year 2014, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: It is not clear if early and current physical activity (even interrelated) constitute two independent variables and, thus, affecting independently health outcomes in adulthood.Objective: To analyze the relationship of early sport practice with hemodynamic variables and metabolic in adulthood.Methods: Participated in the study 69 men and 53 women with aged between 30 and 50 years. All volunteers were submitted to assessments of physical activity by questionnaire [Early Sport Practice (Early-SP)] and pedometer [Current Physical Activity (Current-PA)], and to body composition analysis using to a Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry. Were measurements of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (auscultatory method). The blood analysis were collected for determination of fasting glucose, insulin, lipid profile and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), subsequently, was calculated HOMA-IR for all volunteers.Results: Triglycerides (β=-66.3 [-106.2;-26.4]), HDL-C (β=8.5 [3.1;13.9]), VLDL-C (β=-13.6 [-19.2;-8.1]) and HOMA-IR (β=-0.91 [-1.4;-0.3]) were significantly related to Early-SP independently of current physical activity plus %BF. On the other hand, hsCRP was not (β=-1.27 [-3.1;0.6]; P-value= 0.184). All relationships remained statistically significant independently of additional HOMA-IR adjustments.Conclusion: Early-SP is related to beneficial profile of lipid variables in later life, which is not mediated by Current-PA, obesity and insulin resistance.

COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE AND LACTATE DATA FROM BENCH PRESSES AT SUBMAXIMAL LOADS
Introduction: Bench presses done at submaximal loads produce localized muscle fatigue that undermines exercise performance. Such changes are manifested through elevated blood lactate concentration ([BLa-]) values. Object...
