Permanent health education actions in pandemic times
Objective: to assess permanent health education actions regarding the national and state contingency plans to face the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Method: documentary research, using 54 plans in the initial and final versions, published between January 2020 and May 2021. The content analysis included the identification and systematization of proposals aimed at training and reorganizing the work process, as well as physical and mental health care…
Ações de educação permanente em saúde em tempos de pandemia
Objetivo: analisar ações de educação permanente em saúde nos Planos Nacional e Estaduais de Contingência para enfrentamento à pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil. Metodologia: pesquisa documental, com utilização de 54 planos nas versões iniciais e finais, publicados entre janeiro de 2020 e maio de 2021.

EMG Signal Processing for the Study of Localized Muscle Fatigue—Pilot Study to Explore the Applicability of a Novel Method
This pilot study aimed to explore a method for characterization of the electromyogram frequency spectrum during a sustained exertion task, performed by the upper limb. Methods: Nine participants underwent an isometric localized muscle fatigue protocol on an isokinetic dynamometer until exhaustion, while monitored with surface electromyography (sEMG) of the shoulder's external rotators. Firstly, three methods of signal energy analysis based on pri…
Contingência hospitalar no enfrentamento da Covid-19 no Brasil
Este artigo analisa a agenda governamental estratégica para enfrentamento da COVID-19 no Brasil, com foco na atenção hospitalar. Foram analisados 28 Planos de Contingência na íntegra, sendo 01 nacional, 26 estaduais e 01 do Distrito Federal. Utilizou-se o referencial teórico do Ciclo da Política Pública, especificamente os momentos de pré-decisão e decisão governamental para o enfrentamento da pandemia. As evidências revelaram convergências entre…
Association between overweight and early sexual maturation in Portuguese boys and girls
We conclude that there is an association between early SM and the prevalence of overweight in both genders
Body fatness and clustering of cardiovascular disease risk factors in Portuguese children and adolescents
Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors that increase the risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in adult populations have also been observed in pediatric populations. Childhood and adolescence obesity has been strongly implicated in the clustering of risk factors. The aims of the present study were 1) to examine whether clustering of CVD risk factors, either biological risk factors (high blood pressure (HBP), percentage of high fat mass (%HBF), a…
Patterns of daily physical activity during school days in children and adolescents
The purpose of this study was to examine the weekday patterns of moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in school children and adolescents and determine if there are periods of the day that are representative of their typical MVPA. The sample comprised 84 subjects (boys, n = 30; girls, n = 54), age 8–15 years old. Daily totals for the physical activity variables were calculated by summing the values from 13hr of physical activity (PA) meas…
Overweight and obesity in children and adolescents
Our data suggest that higher BMI is associated with higher values of SBP and DBP. Children and adolescents in the upper quartile of BMI are 1.5 times as likely to have at least one risk factor. Furthermore our data confirmed previous findings that higher levels of BMI are associated with a unfavourable risk profile for CVD risk factors
Assessment of Childrenís and Adolescentsí Physical Activity Levels
The purpose of this study was twofold: first, to examine the effects of specific cut-off scoring points on the estimated prevalence of meeting health-related guidelines for physical activity in youth and, second, to document the differences in gender physical activity patterns according to two different cut-off points. The sample for the present study comprised 157 children (boys n= 64 and girls n= 93), aged 8 to 16 years old. Based on activities…
Association of maturation, sex, and body fat in cardiorespiratory fitness
The aims of this cross‐sectional study were 1) to estimate changes in body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness across stages of pubertal maturation, and 2) to describe the relationship between maturity status and body fatness, regional fat distribution, and cardiorespiratory fitness. The sample consisted of 494 children (254 males, 240 females), 8–16 years of age. Height and weight were measured with standard anthropometric methods. Percent…
Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Schoolchildren
The aims of this study were (i) to provide descriptive data about variousCVD risk factors (triglycerides [TG], total cholesterol [TC], blood pressureand physical activity patterns) among schoolchildren in a specific sample; (ii) to document the extent to which physical activity is associated with variations in CVD risk factors among schoolchildren. The study comprised 474 children (242 males and 232 females, aged 8–13 years) selected in the Porto…
