The research aimed to describe, through an evaluation study in 2016, the scope of the School Health Program (PSE) in the municipality of Vitória de Santo Antão State of Pernambuco in the Northeast region of Brasil. Data were collected between October 2016 and February 2017 using documental source from the Municipal Health and Education secretaries and the Regional Education Management. The municipality had 52 registered schools and 26 carried out some activity related to the program. The actions encompassed component I activities such as ‘Anthropometric assessment’, ‘Verification of vaccination status’, ‘Oral health promotion and assessment’, for example. The themes of component II were also verified such as ‘Promotion of body practices and physical activity’, ‘Food safety and healthy eating actions’, ‘Promotion of Environmental Health and sustainable development’, with focus on arboviruses. The number of actions in the urban area was higher when compared to the rural area. A good number of registered schools contrasting with the low activation (implementation) of the PSE, or even a ‘very bad’ reach of students, permeated the survey answers, enabling the solidification of subsidies of essential questions to new interventions in this research field and providing other knowledges about the program to the general public.

Effects of strength training on sleep parameters of adolescents: a randomized controlled trial. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2020-This study aimed to examine the effects of 12-weeks of strength training (ST) on sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in adolescents with sleep complaints. Thirty adolescents were randomly assigned to 2 groups: ST group (ST, n = 18) and control group (CG, n = 12). Anthropometric, body composition, one-repetition maximum test, and sleep parameters (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI] and Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ESS]) were evaluated. Training consisted of 55 min·d (3 times a week, for 12-weeks), 3 sets of 10-12 repetitions with a 1-minute rest interval between sets and exercises. Baseline and postintervention differences were analyzed using Generalized Estimating Equations and the effect size (ES) with Cohen's d coefficient. Significance was set at (p < 0.05). After 12-weeks of ST, a significant decrease in the PSQI score (7.3 ± 0.7 vs. 5.1 ± 0.6; ES = 4.10) was observed in the ST group, but not in the CG (6.3 ± 0.8 vs. 7.4 ± 0.7; ES = 1.53). A significant decrease in ESS score was found in the ST group (10.1 ± 0.7 vs. 8.2 ± 0.7; ES = 3.08), without differences in the CG (10.7 ± 0.8 vs. 11.0 ± 0.7; ES = 0.56). The ST group presented increased total sleep duration (h·min) (6.2 ± 0.2 vs. 6.9 ± 0.2; ES = 3.60), but not the CG (7.0 ± 0.2 vs. 6.8 ± 0.1; ES = 1.32). Individual analyses showed ≈67% of adolescents experienced a reduction in PSQI (8.3; confidence interval [CI] 95% 6.8-10.1) and ESS (8.3; CI 95% 6.7-9.9) scores after ST, whereas only ≈17% of control participants presented reduced scores (PSQI [11.1; CI 95% 9.5-12.9] and ESS [11.0; CI 95% 9.4-12.6]). Strength training improved sleep quality and increased total sleep duration.

The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence and association between sleep quality with gender and age and to examine the relation between age and the components of the PSQI in institutionalized adolescents. High school internal students of both genders, aged between 14 and 19 years old, were analyzed. After a full clinical evaluation, the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index Score was obtained from all participants. We studied 210 participants [male: 15. 7 ± 1.2 years; BMI: 21.7 ± 2.6 kg/m2; female: 15.7 ± 1. 2 years; BMI: 21.9 ± 4.5 kg/m2]. Poor sleep quality was present in 137 (65.3%) participants and was predominant among girls than boys (PSQI = 76.3 vs 55.8%; p

INTRODUÇÃO: o sono é uma função biológica fundamental para a conservação da energia e a restauração do metabolismo energético.OBJETIVO: analisar o efeito de uma sessão do treinamento de força realizada em diferentes horários sobre a qualidade do sono de adolescentes e examinar se a relação entre a melhoria da qualidade do sono e o horário da sessão de treino se altera após o ajuste para idade.MÉTODOS: participaram do estudo seis estudantes do sexo masculino moradores internos do IFPE - Campus Vitória de Santo Antão, PE, Brasil. Foram realizadas três sessões de treinamento de força em diferentes horários manhã, tarde e noite, durante 12 semanas. A escala OMINI-RES foi utilizada para percepção do esforço. A qualidade do sono foi avaliada pelo Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh PSQI. Ainda foram avaliadas variáveis antropométricas massa corporal, estatura, IMC e a composição corporal % gordura, massa gorda e massa magra.RESULTADOS: foram observadas diferenças entre as sessões de treino realizadas em diferentes horários e a diagnose de qualidade do sono manhã: P < 0,001; tarde: P = 0,001; noite: P = 0,047. Houve correlação entre a sessão de treino realizada pela manhã r = 0,95 e à tarde r = 0,92 e a diagnose de qualidade do sono. Utilizando o modelo de regressão linear, as sessões de treinamento de força realizadas pela manhã R2= 0,91 e tarde R2= 0,75 explicaram de forma significativa a melhora da qualidade do sono em adolescentes, mesmo após o controle pela idade.CONCLUSÃO: as sessões de treinamento de força realizadas pela manhã e tarde apresentaram melhor resposta de qualidade do sono de adolescentes. INTRODUCTION: sleep is a fundamental biological function for energy conservation and restoration of the energy metabolism.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effect of a session of strength training performed at different times on the quality of sleep of adolescents and to examine the relationship between improving the quality of sleep and the time of the training session changes after adjusting for age.METHODS: participated in this investigation six male students internal residents of IFPE - Vitória de Santo Antão, PE, Brazil. Three strength training sessions were performed at different times morning, afternoon and evening for 12 weeks. The OMNI-RES scale was used to perceived exertion. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index PSQI. Anthropometric variables body weight, height, BMI and body composition %fat, fat mass and lean mass were evaluated.RESULTS: differences were observed between training sessions at different times and the diagnosis of sleep quality morning: P

Aims: To analyze the average and individual responses of sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in adolescents after four weeks of strength training. Methods: 19 adolescents with sleep problems recruited in the Federal Institute of Pernambuco, were subject to anthropometric evaluations as well as those for body composition assessment, a 1 repetition maximum test, the sleep parameters (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-PSQI and Epworth Sleepiness Scale-ESS) and were submitted to four weeks of strength-training, performed alternately by segment, two sessions per week, according to recommendations for this population. Results: A decrease in the average PSQI score was observed (10.3±3.3 vs 8.8±4.0; p=0.006), but not in ESS (p>0.05), after intervention. The individual analyses demonstrated that ~63% of adolescents experienced reductions ≥ 3 points in the PSQI and ~58% of them experienced reductions ≥ 3 points in the measure of daytime sleepiness. The prevalence of poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness reduced from 84.2% to 68.4% and from 52.6% to 31.6%, respectively. The comparisons of high and low responders to exercise training show that adolescents who reduced ≥3 points in the score of a least one sleep parameter presented lower weight, fat mass, and fat percentage (p
