Abstract

This project is composed of 3 themes: 1) inspiratory muscle training (IMT), 2) aging and 3) wearables. THEME 1: IMT has brought benefits to several systems of the organism and to the improvement of physical performance. However, there is no consensus on the best intensity of IMT for healthy and physically active individuals, as well as on cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, autonomic and metabolic pathway responses. Objectives: to evaluate the effect of IMT using critical inspiratory pressure - PThC (CIP) compared to the 60% group of MIP (MIP60) and Sham (SHAM), in the improvement of physical performance, assessed during the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), as well as cardiorespiratory and metabolic responses, during CPET and inspiratory muscle endurance tests, in recreational cyclists; to identify the activated metabolic pathways, by metabolomic approach, and to evaluate the cardiovascular autonomic modulation at rest before and after IMT. Forty young male recreational cyclists (20-40 years) will be evaluated who will perform: blood collection for metabolomic approach [nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and hyphenated liquid chromatography using mass spectrometry (LC-MS)], CPET, PThC determination protocol, cardiovascular autonomic assessment, at rest before and after 11 weeks of IMT. It is expected that after the IMT, the CIP presents cardiovascular, respiratory, autonomic and metabolic demands greater than the MIP60 and SHAM, showing improvement in physical performance; and that the study of the metabolome, allows clarifying the metabolic pathways activated with IMT. THEME 2: The metabolic pathways and cardiovascular oscillations are affected by the aging process. However, there are no studies that compare metabolic changes between healthy active and sedentary individuals, through metabolomics techniques, and their relationship with cardiovascular autonomic modulation. Objectives: to characterize the metabolic changes (study of the metabolome) of active and non-active aging in men aged 20-70 years and their relationship with aerobic capacity and cardiovascular oscillations. One hundred and ten men (55 physically active), apparently healthy, will be evaluated, divided into decades, who will carry out the same evaluations of Theme 1, except the IMT and the determination of PThC. It is expected that the results from the metabolome study will clarify the activated metabolic pathways, as well as the differences between active and non-active aging and their relationship with cardiovascular oscillations. THEME 3: Impairments in cardiorespiratory health (CRH) are related to the onset of chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and increased mortality. The evaluation of CRH is clinically valuable, but it is done only occasionally and involves the use of medical equipment that is not available to the general population. Thus, there is a need to explore new technologies for the continuous monitoring of CRH by more accessible equipment. Objectives: to use accessible wearable technologies, associated with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, for the continuous prediction of CRH in order to identify changes related to the appearance of NCDs. Healthy individuals with risk factors for NCDs and with NCDs will be recruited. The 1st stage will consist of laboratory evaluation of the CRH. The 2nd stage will consist of outpatient vital signs collection, where participants will wear a smart T-shirt with several wearable sensors on board. The 3rd stage consists in the development of AI algorithms that will be trained to predict CRH based on the vital signs collected by the smart shirt. It is expected that the technology developed here will be used throughout physical rehabilitation programs, allowing individual adjustments in real-time and in the effectiveness of such programs; in addition to impacting the prevention of NCDs in the future by early detection of CRH changes.
