 Introducción. La obesidad se puede definir como un desequilibrio entre la ingesta de calorías y el gasto de energía con resultado del aumento de peso. Actualmente se acepta que la obesidad es uno de los principales problemas sociales y de salud en todo el mundo y su prevalencia aumenta continuamente. La grasa visceral se considera un factor patogénico en la obesidad. Objetivo. Fue evaluar el efecto del entrenamiento concurrente sobre la condición física, la composición corporal y el área de grasa visceral en personas con obesidad. Métodos. 30 personas con obesidad participaron en este estudio. Realizaron un programa de entrenamiento concurrente adaptado y controlado durante ocho semanas. Se realizaron test de condición física (resistencia muscular, aptitud cardiorrespiratoria y flexibilidad) y de la composición corporal antes y después del período de intervención. Resultados. Se observó mejoría en variables de condición física relacionadas con la fuerza muscular, tanto en las extremidades superiores (brazo derecho p =.001 y brazo izquierdo p =.002) como en las inferiores (p = .001). También aumentó significativamente la velocidad de la marcha (p =.001) y la agilidad (p =.001). Todas las variables de composición corporal mejoraron significativamente. Mientras que la masa grasa, el peso, el IMC y el área de grasa visceral disminuyeron considerablemente (p < .001). La masa magra y masa muscular aumentaron significativamente (p =.001). Conclusión. El programa de entrenamiento concurrente mejora significativamente la composición corporal en personas obesas, que están relacionadas con los niveles de fuerza muscular mejorada y conduce a una disminución significativa de la grasa visceral.  Abstract. Background. Obesity can be defined as an imbalance between calorie intake and energy expenditure as a result weight gain. Currently is accepted that obesity is one of the major social and health problems worldwide and its prevalence is continuously increasing. Visceral fat is considered as a pathogenic factor in obesity. Objective. The main was to evaluate the effect of concurrent training on physical fitness in people with obesity, body composition and visceral fat area. Methods. 30 obese people participated in this study. They conducted an adapted and controlled concurrent training program during eight weeks. Physical fitness tests (muscular resistance, cardiorespiratory fitness, flexibility) and body composition measure were applied before and after the intervention period. Results. Improvement was observed on physical fitness variables. Muscle strength, both in the lower extremities (p = .001) and upper extremities (right arm p = .001 and left arm p = .002). Also, the walking speed (p = .001) and agility (p = .001) increased significantly. All body composition variables improved significantly. While fat mass, body weight, BMI and visceral fat area decreased considerably (p <.001), fat free mass and muscle mass increased significantly (p = .001). Conclusion. Concurrent training program improves significantly body composition in obese people, which are related with levels muscular strength enhanced, and conduces significant decrease in visceral fat.

AbstractAim of the study: The aim of this study was to verify whether the 5-month training exercises using specific balance exercises of the authorial program improves body balance control in children with Down syndrome (DS).Materials and methods: The purpose of this study was the verification if the 5-months posture control exercises training by original program relays to posture control in Down syndrome (DS) children and youth. The subjects were 8 DS persons: 4 males and 4 females, aged 13-24. Two 20-seconds consecutive trails of natural bipedal standing position on 2 force platforms AccuSway (AMTI), one under each foot, were performed during research. On the basis of COP (centre of pressure) time series the following indices were computed: range, variability, velocity and area of COP shifts. There were 2 sessions of the research: one just before and the second just after 5-month lasting specific posture control training based on the original exercise program.Results: The results revealed decreasing of the COP velocity of right lower limb and the COP range in anterior-posterior direction of both lower limbs after the training, comparing to the values from the first research session.Conclusions: It is concluded that the specific posture control training by the presenting of the original exercises program influenced the posture control improving it and the program can be used in therapy of DS children and youth.

Objective: To investigate the effects of a 12 week aerobic and resistance exercise on body composition of adolescents with Down syndrome. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with 41 adolescents with Down syndrome, aged 15.5±2.7 years, divided into three groups: Aerobic Training Group (ATG; n=16), Resisted Training Group (RTG; n=15) and Control Group (CG; n=10). There were two types of training: aerobic, with intensity of 50-70% of the heart rate reserve 3 times/week, and resisted, with intensity of 12 maximum repetitions 2 times week. Both trainings were applied during a 12-week period. The percentage of fat evaluation was performed using plethysmography with Bod Pod(r) equipment. Waist circumference (WC), body weight and height were also measured. Paired t-test was used to compare variables before and after the exercise program. Results: The percentage of body fat did not change significantly for both groups that participated in the training intervention. However, CG showed a significant increase in this variable (31.3±7.2 versus 34.0±7.9). On the other hand, body mass index (BMI) and WC were significantly reduced for ATG (BMI: 27.0±4.4 and 26.5±4.2; WC: 87.3±11.1 and 86.2±9.7), while RTG and GC showed no differences in these variables. Conclusions: The aerobic and resisted training programs maintained body fat levels. ATG significantly reduced BMI and WC measures. Individuals who did not attend the training intervention increased their percentage of fat.

Purpose Semi-occluded vocal tract (SOVT) exercises with tubes or straws have been widely used for a variety of voice disorders. Yet, the effects of longer periods of SOVT exercises (lasting for weeks) on the aging voice are not well understood. This study investigated the effects of a 6-week straw phonation in water (SPW) exercise program. Method Thirty-seven elderly subjects with self-perceived voice problems were assigned into two groups: (a) SPW exercises with six weekly sessions and home practice (experimental group) and (b) vocal hygiene education (control group). Before and after intervention (2 weeks after the completion of the exercise program), acoustic analysis, auditory–perceptual evaluation, and self-assessment of vocal impairment were conducted. Results Analysis of covariance revealed significant differences between the two groups in smoothed cepstral peak prominence measures, harmonics-to-noise ratio, the auditory–perceptual parameter of breathiness, and Voice Handicap Index-10 scores postintervention. No significant differences between the two groups were found for other measures. Conclusions Our results supported the positive effects of SOVT exercises for the aging voice, with a 6-week SPW exercise program being a clinical option. Future studies should involve long-term follow-up and additional outcome measures to better understand the efficacy of SOVT exercises, particularly SPW exercises, for the aging voice.
