Smoking is considered a major worldwide public health problem and despite being one of the most relevant causes of worldwide preventable death, it is also responsible for about 6 million deaths per year and physical inactivity, for about 3.2 million. The physical inactivity in smokers is related to depressive disorders and high levels of nicotine's dependence, which also contributes to lo…
Introduction: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exhibit aerobic function, autonomic nervous system and mucociliary clearance alterations. These parameters are able to be attenuated by aerobic training, which can be applied with continuous or interval efforts. However, the possible effects of aerobic training using progressively both continuous and interval session…
Introduction: Sarcopenia is characterized by a progressive and generalized decrease of strength and muscle mass. Muscle mass loss is prevalent in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as a result of both the disease and aging. Some methods have been proposed to assess body composition (and therefore identify muscle mass loss) in this population. Despite the high accur…

The literature shows us that the best ways to maintain smoking cessation are to replace bad habits with healthy habits. In this sense, physical activity is related to a change in lifestyle and may be an important factor in helping smokers to remain abstinent and consequently active. However, although beneficial, there is still no consensus on the best intensity, frequency and duration of …
Mucociliary clearance is the main defense mechanism of upper and lower airways that besides respond to agents, it is influenced by physical exercise. Aim: To evaluate and to compare the acute response behavior of smokers' nasal mucociliary clearance toward resistance training with elastic tubes and verify the influence of acute smoking and association with training. Methods: Smokers with …

Background: Physical activity promotes several benefits to the health at any age. However, to maintain these health benefits it is necessary to keep active and do physical activity regularly. Accelerometers and pedometers are portable devices that provide reliable data regarding the physical activity level. These devices can objectively monitor activity patterns. These devices have been a…
Low back pain is a common health problem that most people experience at some point in their life. However, its burden is often considered trivial. The risk factors to develop low back pain is multifactorial and although some of these factors have been shown in previous studies, their associations remain poorly understood. Thinking of it, twin studies might clarify the role of genetics fac…
