- Airway remodeling is reversed by aerobic training in a murine model of chronic asthma(2015) SILVA, R. A.; ALMEIDA, F. M.; OLIVO, C. R.; SARAIVA-ROMANHOLO, B. M.; MARTINS, M. A.; CARVALHO, C. R. F.The aim of this study was to investigate if the aerobic training (AT) reverses airway remodeling (AR) in an asthma model. BALB/c were divided into four groups: control (unsensitized and untrained); ovalbumin (OVA: sensitized and untrained); AT (unsensitized and trained) and OVA+AT. Allergic inflammation was induced with intraperitoneal and OVA inhalation. AT (low intensity; 5x/week; 60min/session) was performed at 7, 15, and 30 days. Leukocyte counting in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; the expression of IL-5, eotaxin, RANTES, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1); AR features (airway smooth muscle, epithelium thickness, collagen and elastic fibers, mucus production); and AR inducers (transforming growing factor-beta, osteopontin, vascular endothelial growth factor). OVA induced an increase in leukocyte airway migration and increased AR features (P<0.05). After 7 days, AT reversed the OVA-induced eosinophil and macrophage airway migration, the expression of IL-5, eotaxin, RANTES, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and all AR inducers. However, total reversion of the AR features and inducers and airway inflammation occurred only after 15 days of AT compared with the OVA groups (P<0.05) and the effects were maintained until the 30th day. AT reverses AR after 15 days and this effect is preceded by the inhibition of leukocyte migration and occurs simultaneously with the reduction in the expression of inflammatory mediators and AR inducers.
- Exercise training is a determinant of weight-loss and improvement on asthma control, airway inflammation and psychosocial morbidity in obese asthmatics: A RCT(2015) FREITAS, Patricia D.; FERREIRA, Palmira G.; SILVA, Aline G.; CUKIER, Alberto; STELMACH, Rafael; CARVALHO-PINTO, Regina; SALGE, Joao M.; MANCINI, Marcio C.; MARTINS, Milton A.; CARVALHO, Celso R.

- Comparison of the Effects of Aerobic Conditioning Before and After Pulmonary Allergic Inflammation(2015) SILVA, Ronaldo Aparecido da; ALMEIDA, Francine Maria; OLIVO, Clarice Rosa; SARAIVA-ROMANHOLO, Beatriz Mangueira; PERINI, Adenir; MARTINS, Milton Arruda; CARVALHO, Celso Ricardo FernandesThe aim of this study is to compare the effects of aerobic conditioning (AC) before (ACBS) and after (ACAS) allergic sensitization. BALB/c mice were divided into two main groups: ACBS and ACAS. Each groups was divided into subgroups: control (nonsensitized/nontrained), AC (nonsensitized/trained), ovalbumin (OVA) (sensitized/nontrained), AC + OVA (trained/sensitized), and OVA + AC (sensitized/trained). Sensitization was induced using OVA and AC performed in treadmill (moderate intensity). We examined IgE and IgG(1) levels, eosinophil counting, expression of Th1 (interleukin (IL)-2, IFN-alpha) and Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13), IL-10, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and airway remodeling. IgE and IgG(1) were decreased only when exercise was performed before sensitization (ACBS); however, there was a decrease of eosinophils, Th2 cytokines, VEGF, and airway remodeling and increase in IL-10 in either ACBS or ACAS groups. Our results demonstrate that aerobic conditioning reduces Th2 response before and after sensitization by increasing IL-10 while the production of anaphylactic antibodies is reduced only when exercise is performed before sensitization.
conferenceObject IL-10 and IL-1ra mediates OVA-induced Th2 airway allergic response at short and long-term(2013) SILVA, Ronaldo Aparecido; ALMEIDA, Francine Maria; OLIVO, Clarice Rosa; SARAIVA, Beatriz Mangueira; PERINI, Adenir; MARTINS, Milton Arruda; CARVALHO, Celso Ricardo Fernandes- Interventions to Increase Physical Activity in Middle-Age Women at the Workplace: A Randomized Controlled Trial(2014) RIBEIRO, Marcos Ausenka; MARTINS, Milton Arruda; CARVALHO, Celso R. F.Purpose A four-group randomized controlled trial evaluated the impact of distinct workplace interventions to increase the physical activity (PA) and to reduce anthropometric parameters in middle-age women. Methods One-hundred and ninety-five women age 40-50 yr who were employees from a university hospital and physically inactive at their leisure time were randomly assigned to one of four groups: minimal treatment comparator (MTC; n = 47), pedometer-based individual counseling (PedIC; n = 53), pedometer-based group counseling (PedGC; n = 48), and aerobic training (AT; n = 47). The outcomes were total number of steps (primary outcome), those performed at moderate intensity (>= 110 steps per minute), and weight and waist circumference (secondary outcomes). Evaluations were performed at baseline, at the end of a 3-month intervention, and 3 months after that. Data were presented as delta [(after 3 months-baseline) or (after 6 months-baseline)] and 95% confidence interval. To detect the differences among the groups, a one-way ANOVA and a Holm-Sidak post hoc test was used (P < 0.05). The Cohen effect size was calculated, and an intention-to-treat approach was performed. Results Only groups using pedometers (PedIC and PedGC) increased the total number of steps after 3 months (P < 0.05); however, the increase observed in PedGC group (1475 steps per day) was even higher than that in PedIC (512 steps per day, P < 0.05) with larger effect size (1.4). The number of steps performed at moderate intensity also increased only in the PedGC group (845 steps per day, P < 0.05). No PA benefit was observed at 6 months. Women submitted to AT did not modify PA daily life activity but reduced anthropometric parameters after 3 and 6 months (P < 0.05). Conclusions Our results show that in the workplace setting, pedometer-based PA intervention with counseling is effective increasing daily life number of steps, whereas AT is effective for weight loss.

- Barriers to daily life physical activities for Brazilian children with asthma: a cross-sectional study(2020) SOUSA, Andrey Wirgues; CABRAL, Anna Lucia Barros; MARTINS, Milton Arruda; CARVALHO, Celso R. F.Background Objective: To identify barriers to daily life physical activities (DLPA) and to evaluate physical activity levels for children with asthma and without asthma. Method: This is a cross-sectional study that enrolled 130 children with asthma and 54 non-asthma, from 7 to 12 years old. All of the children in both groups used an accelerometer for 6 consecutive days to assess DLPA and completed a questionnaire to evaluate barriers to physical activity. Accelerometer was used to measure each child's total number of steps, as well as the number of steps and the time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). The barrier questionnaire to DLPA included 11 questions, divided into three domains: personal, social and environmental. Results: The most commonly described barrier to DLPA in the asthma and non-asthma groups was an unsafe environment (23.6% vs 28.5%, respectively). The asthma group reported having asthma (19%) and lack of parental encouragement (17.3%) as being other important barriers to DLPA. It was also observed that the asthma and non-asthma groups presented similar values for the total number of steps (13,379 +/- 3,837 vs 14,055 +/- 3,914, respectively, p > 0.05), number of steps in MVPA (5,654 +/- 1,988 vs. 6,025 +/- 2,058, p > 0.05), and time spent in MVPA (46 +/- 16 min vs. 50.8 +/- 14.7 min, p > 0.05). Conclusions: An unsafe environment is the main barrier to physical activity for Brazilian children. Moreover, a lack of parental encouragement and having asthma were considered to be barriers to physical activity. And lastly, children have similar levels of physical activity whether they have asthma or do not have asthma.
conferenceObject Aerobic exercise training cannot be prescribed based on predictive heart rate equations in moderate or severe asthmatic patients(2012) MENDES, Felipe; TEIXEIRA, Renata; PINTO, Andrezza; STELMACH, Rafael; CUKIER, Alberto; MARTINS, Milton; CARVALHO, Celso- Effects of a behaviour change intervention aimed at increasing physical activity on clinical control of adults with asthma: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial(2019) FREITAS, Patricia D.; XAVIER, Rafaella F.; PASSOS, Natalia F. P.; CARVALHO-PINTO, Regina M.; CUKIER, Alberto; MARTINS, Milton A.; CAVALHERI, Vinicius; HILL, Kylie; STELMACH, Rafael; CARVALHO, Celso R. F.Background: In adults with asthma, physical activity has been associated with several asthma outcomes. However, it is unclear whether changes in physical activity, measured via an accelerometer, have an effect on asthma control. The objective of the present study is, in adults with moderate-to-severe asthma, to investigate the effects of a behaviour change intervention, which aims to increase participation in physical activity, on asthma clinical control. Methods: This is a single-blind (outcome assessor), two-arm, randomised controlled trial (RCT). Fifty-five participants with moderate-to-severe asthma, receiving optimized pharmacological treatment, will be randomly assigned (computer-generated) into either a Control Group (CG) or an Intervention Group (IG). Both groups will receive usual care (pharmacological treatment) and similar educational programmes. In addition to these, participants in the IG will undergo the behaviour change intervention based on feedback, which aims to increase participation in physical activity. This intervention will be delivered over eight sessions as weekly one-on-one, face-to-face 40-min consultations. Both before and following the completion of the intervention period, data will be collected on asthma clinical control, levels of physical activity, health-related quality of life, asthma exacerbation and levels of anxiety and depression symptoms. Anthropometric measurements will also be collected. Information on comorbidities, lung function and the use of asthma medications will be extracted from the participant's medical records. Discussion: If successful, this study will demonstrate that, in adults with asthma, a behavioural change intervention which aims to increase participation in physical activity also affects asthma control.
