Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we present this Special Issue entitled "Effectiveness of Physical Exercise for People with Chronic Diseases". We intend to bring together the latest productions and studies involving chronic diseases and physical exercise as an important tool for intervention, management and the prevention of the worsening of symptoms. We will consider chronic diseases that promote health conditions that limit activities of daily living, require continuous medical care and follow-up, and can last for 1 year or more and cause death or disability. Thus, we hope to bring together works that can add knowledge; raise discussions based on the most carefully gathered evidence; strengthen integration between researchers and scientists around the world; and reinforce the importance of joint action among prevention measures, the development and implementation of public policies, health education and a greater understanding that adherence to healthier lifestyle habits contributes significantly to the reduction of the onset of these diseases in our society.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether a novel approach of interval training targeted to the respiratory muscles (RMIT; normocapnic hyperpnea with resistance) in addition to a multidisciplinary in-hospital body weight reduction program (BWRP) was able to improve the integrative response to exercise in young patients with obesity. Nine male patients (17.9 ± 4.9 (x ± SD) years; 113.8 ± 16.3 kg) underwent 12 sessions of RMIT and eight age-and sex-matched patients underwent 12 sessions of a sham protocol (CTRL) during the same 3-week BWRP. Before and after the interventions the patients performed an incremental and a heavy-intensity constant work-rate (CWR>GET) cycling exercise to voluntary exhaustion. Body mass decreased by ~4.0 kg after both RMIT (p = 0.0001) and CTRL (p = 0.0002). Peak pulmonary O2 uptake (V˙O2) increased after RMIT (p = 0.02) and CTRL (p = 0.0007). During CWR>GET at ISO-time, V˙O2 (p = 0.0007), pulmonary ventilation (p = 0.01), heart rate (p = 0.02), perceived respiratory discomfort (RPER; p = 0.03) and leg effort (p = 0.0003) decreased after RMIT; only RPER (p = 0.03) decreased after CTRL. Time to exhaustion increased after RMIT (p = 0.0003) but not after CTRL. In young patients with obesity, RMIT inserted in a 3-week BWRP reduced the cardiorespiratory burden, the metabolic cost, the perceived effort, and improved exercise tolerance during heavy-intensity cycling.

Abstract
(1) Background: This study investigated the effects of two 6-week whole-body vibration exercise (WBVE) protocols on body composition in patients with metabolic syndrome (MSy).

(1) Background: This study investigated the effects of two 6-week whole-body vibration exercise (WBVE) protocols on body composition in patients with metabolic syndrome (MSy). Thirty-three patients were allocated to either the Fixed Frequency WBVE Group (FFG-WBVE) or the Variable Frequency WBVE Group (VFG-WBVE). (2) Methods: A side-alternating vibration platform was used and the patients remained in the semi-squat position on this platform. In the FFG-WBVE (n = 12; median age = 50.50 years) and (body mass index BMI = 31.95 kg/m2), patients were exposed to 10 s of mechanical vibration at a fixed frequency of 5 Hz, followed by 50 s without vibration. In the VFG-WBVE (n = 10; median age = 57.50 years) and (BMI = 32.50 kg/m2), the patients performed 60 s of mechanical vibration at different frequencies from 5 to 16 Hz). Body composition evaluated through (bioelectrical impedance analysis and anthropometric measurements) were was evaluated before and after the all the interventions in each group. (3) Results: The VFG-WBVE decreased waist circumference, p = 0.01 and segmental fat mass [left arm, p = 0.01; right arm, p = 0.02 and trunk, p = 0.03]. Bone content increased, p = 0.01. No significant changes were observed in the FFG- WBVE. (4) Conclusions: In conclusion, this study demonstrated that 6 weeks of WBVE with a protocol with variable frequency can positively modify the body composition of MSY patients. These findings might contribute to improvements in the metabolic health of these patients. Full article

Background: Inflammation is considered to be a vital defense mechanism for health, acting as a protective response of the immune system through a satisfactory inflammatory biomarker response (IBR). IBR, as well as being beneficial to the organism, can be also responsible for a variety of chronic inflammatory diseases. Whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise is a type of physical exercise that can act on inflammation responses due its capacity for stimulating the sensory components that promote systemic responses. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of WBV on IBR in different clinical status. Methods: This is a systematic review that includes randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effects of WBV exercise on IBR. The methodological quality, risk of bias, and level of evidence were rated. Results: Four RCTs met the selection criteria. The studies showed benefits associated with IBR (e.g., cytokines, adipokines, and C-reactive protein) in various clinical conditions, including healthy populations and some chronic diseases (such as obesity, aging disorders, and knee osteoarthritis), using several WBV protocols. Conclusions: WBV might be useful in the management of inflammatory conditions. Full article

(1) Background: Metabolic syndrome (MSy) is defined by a constellation of interconnected physiological, biochemical, clinical, and metabolic factors that directly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. This systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted to assess the effects of whole-body vibration exercise (WBVE) in metabolic syndrome (MSy) individuals. (2) Methods: An electronic search in Pubmed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, PEDro, and CINAHL databases in December 2022 was performed. Data regarding the included studies were extracted. The level of evidence, the methodological quality, and the risk of bias of each selected publication were individually evaluated. (3) Results: Eight studies were included in the systematic review and four studies in the meta-analysis, with a mean methodological quality score on the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro scale) of 5.6, considered “fair” quality. The qualitative results suggested positive effects of the systemic vibration therapy in relevant outcomes, such as quality of life, functionality, pain level, trunk flexibility, cardiovascular responses (blood pressure and heart rate), neuromuscular activation, range of motion of the knees, rating of perceived exertion, and body composition. The quantitative results, with weighted mean differences, standard mean differences, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), were calculated. Conclusions: WBVE may be an alternative capable of interfering with physical—mainly for flexibility with weighted mean differences (1.70; 95% CI 0.15, 3.25; n = 39)—functional, psychosocial, neuromuscular, emotional parameters, and consequently contribute to improvements in metabolic health and reduce the cardiovascular risk factor in MSy individuals. Nevertheless, further additional studies are required to understand the long-term effects of WBVE on MSy and its complications in a better way. Protocol study registration was as follows: PROSPERO (CRD 42020187319). Full article
