Os benefícios do treino aeróbio intervalado em pacientes portadores de insuficiência cardíaca comparados com um grupo controle

Abstract

Introduction: the reduction of the functional e becomes outstanding in the population with heart failure(HF). This way, the objective of this study was to evaluate the benefits of the aerobic interval training in patients with HF and compare them to a control group. Material and methods: seven individuals were studied, they were divided into two groups - G1 (aerobic interval training) and G2 (control group). All of them underwent cardiopulmonary tests in treadmill and circuit. The Student’s t-test was chosen to analyze the cardiopulmonary variables, being statistically significant values of p ≤ 0,05.Results: the values of the variables on the test using mat in AT were: VO2 (G1 24,13 ± 26,69; G2 -11,32 ± 3,78). FC (G1 -9,75 ± 11,47; G2 2,67 ± 5,85). VO2/FC (G1 36,19 ± 30,42; G2 -14,69 ± 3,92). The variables in VO2 peak were: VO2 (G1 20,38 ± 10,78; G2 -12,21 ± 4,62). FC (G1 -4,75 ± 8,05; G2 12,67 ± 6,35). VO2/FC (G1 24, 12 ± 15,95; G2 -20,37 ± 7,12). The variables of the TC6’ in circuit were: VO2 peak (G1 24,21 ± 22,85; G2 -10, 91 ± 16,37). FC peak (G1 -0,25 ± 9,53; G2 3,67 ± 11,59). VO2/FC peak (G1 23,62 ± 11,29; G2 -14,76 ± 21,79). Peak Distance (G1 13,75 ± 10,62; G2 3,33 ± 4,16). Conclusion: the aerobic interval training can be considered a therapeutic alternative in patients with heart failure.
