Are low-income preschoolers physically active at preschool settings? A cross-sectional study Taís Feitosa da Silva, Jéssica Gomes Mota, Anthony Okely, María Arias Telles, Rafael Miranda Tassitano, et al. Child Care Health and Development, 2024 BackgroundPreschools may provide opportunities for children to engage in physical activity (PA), to benefit their health, although little is known when concerning low‐income preschoolers. This study aimed (1) to describe time spent in PA among low‐income children during preschool hours and (2) to analyse how many children meet the PA recommendations during preschool hours.MethodsA total of 204 low‐income preschoolers (4.51 ± 0.79 years) from João Pessoa/Brazil provided valid accelerometer (Actigraph, WGT3‐X) data during the preschool period. Children were grouped in quartiles of PA in counts per minute, according to sex and age. The General Linear Model Univariate was used to examine the differences in PA intensities between the quartiles and the time spent in total PA (TPA) and moderate‐to‐vigorous PA (MVPA) by quartiles, according to age. An hour‐by‐hour description of children's PA was presented.ResultsTPA during preschool hours ranged from 68.33% to 113.89% of the recommended and from 28.34% to 81.68% of the MVPA recommendations. Among 5‐year‐old children, those in the highest quartile met the PA recommendations. All children were more active outdoors than indoors. For the less actives, preschool time corresponded to 30% of the recommended daily MVPA.ConclusionThe current results reinforce the importance of preschool settings for promoting preschoolers' PA and provide particularly important and useful information for tailoring preschool‐based interventions focused on those who need it most. Strategies to increase children's MVPA should be prioritized during free‐play time.
A single session of active video game play promotes post-exercise hypotension in hypertensive middle-aged subjects Taís Feitosa da Silva, Ana Carla Lima de França, Marizângela Ferreira de Souza, Alexandre Sérgio Silva Human Movement, 2018 PurposeTo determine whether an active video game session promoted post-exercise hypotension, similar to walking.MethodsFifteen hypertensive subjects (49.0 ± 1.6 years) of both genders performed five randomized sessions, lasting 60 minutes: 1) active video game; 2) sedentary video game; 3) walking on a treadmill with moderate intensity; 4) walking on a treadmill with similar intensity to the active video game; and 5) control without exercise. Blood pressure and cardiac autonomic modulation measurements were taken at rest and every 10 minutes post exercise for 60 minutes.ResultsThe active video game promoted a reduction in systolic blood pressure (-14.4 ± 3.0 mmHg, <i>p</i> < 0.0001) similar to walking on a treadmill with moderate intensity (-16.9 ± 3.3 mmHg, <i>p</i> < 0.0001), whereas the control group without exercise did not demonstrate a blood pressure reduction. The sedentary video game also demonstrated a reduction in systolic blood pressure (-10.0 ± 3.1 mmHg, <i>p</i> = 0.0039), statistically similar to the active video game and walking on a treadmill with similar intensity to the active video game (8.7 ± 2.9 mmHg, <i>p</i> = 0.0034). Regarding the diastolic component, the active video game (-7.6 ± 1.5 mmHg, <i>p</i> < 0.0001), walking on a treadmill with moderate intensity (-8.3 ± 2.9 mmHg, <i>p</i> = 0.0042), and the sedentary video game (-7.5 ± 2.7 mmHg, <i>p</i> = 0.0098) produced similar reductions in diastolic blood pressure. The active video game was a procedure that promoted a sympathetic-vagal balance reduction from pre-exercise to 60 minutes post exercise (4.2 ± 0.8 to 2.3 ± 0.5, <i>p</i> = 0.0486).ConclusionsActive video game play promoted a similar reduction in blood pressure compared to traditional walking exercise with the advantage of promoting reduction in the sympathetic inflow to the heart.
Effect of the exercise of walkers performed in public squares with spontaneous or prescribed intensity on post-exercise hypotension Taís Feitosa da Silva, Alesandra Araújo de Souza, Fabiano Ferreira de Lima, Jennifer Ariely Sales Suassuna, Henrique Eduardo Paiva Lira do Couto, et al. Revista De Saude Publica, 2017 OBJECTIVE To quantify the intensity adopted by walkers in public squares and check the occurrence and magnitude of post-exercise hypotension in the spontaneously adopted intensity and in a prescribed intensity. METHODS In 98 volunteers (38 of them being hypertensive), walkers in public squares of the city of João Pessoa, State of Paraíba, Brazil, we have identified the intensity of a usual training monitored by heart rate and we have investigated the occurrence and magnitude of post-exercise hypotension. Subsequently, participants were instructed to walk with moderate intensity. Blood pressure was measured after rest and during post-exercise recovery. RESULTS Of the total participants, 41% of the hypertensive and 36% of the normotensive individuals walked with light intensity. With the prescription, intensity increased to 55% and 52%, for the hypertensive and normotensive individuals, respectively. In the usual and prescribed intensity, the hypertensive individuals had post-exercise hypotension of -3.7±11.6 mmHg and -4.72±12.8 mmHg, respectively. There was no correlation between post-exercise hypotension and the initial systolic component of the hypertensive individuals (r2 = 0.2; p < 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Walkers in public squares choose light intensity for walking. When they exercise with the prescribed intensity, they increase the intensity, but the magnitude of the PEH is not increase with this guidance.
