One of the strategies to prevent adverse effects arising from chemotherapy treatment is to perform physical exercises during the duration of the treatment. However, there is still no consensus on the best type and intensity of exercise, nor on when it should be started. Most studies have been carried out in patients with breast cancer, usually a few weeks after starting chemotherapy, on a…
Accelerometry is considered the gold standard method to assess physical activity level. However, there is no standardization of its use in hospitalized patients. Objectives: 1) To test the calibration of the accelerometer to detect different intensities activities in hospitalized patients by indirect calorimetry; 2) To compare the accuracy of accelerometry made in the wrist and waist of h…

Promoting the benefits of keeping the hospitalized surgical patient physically active is essential to prevent the impairment of their functional capacity and other harms that generate new hospitalizations preventable by increasing their mobility. However, in clinical practice, we found patients spending long periods in their beds. Objectives: to evaluate the effects of preoperative physic…
Introduction: The level of physical activity decreases progressively with age. Elderly people who are physically active have lower rates of morbidity and mortality when compared to inactive elderly. Hospitalization leads to long periods of bed rest and physical inactivity, with consequent muscle atrophy, generalized weakness, decreased independence, and functionality. Therefore, preventin…
Respiratory symptoms and impaired mobility have a high prevalence among the elderly. The association between both factors aged-related may lead to significant adverse outcomes. The use of questionnaires with adequate reproducibility is needed to research and in clinical practice. Objectives: to test the reproducibility (reliability, compliance, and reliability) of the University of Alabam…
