To this end, in this qualitative/descriptive/life history study, we seek to understand how her initial sporting experiences influenced her transition to a career in Powerlifting. We explore the training routine of a champion athlete, her strategies for attracting sponsorship and support to maintain her training and competition infrastructure. Furthermore, we recorded the experiences of a woman gaining recognition in a predominantly male sport. To achieve these objectives, semi-structured interviews were conducted with subsequent discourse analysis, supplemented with the survey of documentary records. In the analysis, we used the perspective of the Life History method in order to investigate the process of becoming a reference athlete in her discipline. Through the methodological perspective of the Life History method, we listed analysis categories that were broken down into analysis codes of speech and through these we were able to carry out the research. In her speeches, the athlete presented a path of overcoming gender barriers in sport and especially in strength sports. Like so many athletes in the country, she overcomes the precariousness of resources with self-employment and reports difficulties in receiving adequate financial support as a top athlete. Her trajectory is inspiring given the athlete's relevance to the local and national context of Powerlifting and the results obtained allowed greater understanding of the configuration of the sport in Brazil.

Orientador: Oliveira, Janyeliton Alencar Abstract: The strategy of the blood flow restriction (BFR) technique has gained considerable traction as a training method to optimize physiological adaptations that promote increases in muscle strength and volume. The BFR technique involves complex physiological mechanisms, where compression partially restricts arterial flow and impairs venous return, leading to a state of relative hypoxia in the muscle distal to the application of the technique. Evidence suggests that this method can be effectively adapted for rehabilitation in various orthopedic injuries, allowing clinical populations to reintegrate into daily activities. An integrative review was conducted based on the analysis of 11 studies that examined different groups of athletes, from various sports, who employed BFR as a method in their training to assess its benefits. A total of 1357 articles were initially found, followed by the selection of 514 studies by title, 127 by relevant keywords, and finally, 11 papers were chosen based on abstract analysis. The literature search was conducted using the PubMed platform, focusing on articles published over a 15-year span, from 2009 to 2024, exclusively in English, using the operators: "blood flow restriction" OR "kaatsu training" AND "athletic". Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the perceived benefits in semi-professional and professional athletes across different sports, as well as the distinct advantages of using the BFR method in their training. It was concluded that physical training combined with the BFR method presents significant benefits in increasing muscle volume, strength, and physical quality in semi-professional athletes in most of the studies reviewed.

Orientador: Vasconcelos, Wanessa Kelly Vieira Abstract: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is defined as a disease that ranks among the leading causes of death worldwide, particularly affecting elderly individuals. Resistance training (RT), on the other hand, can be an effective tool for managing this condition, benefiting both metabolic parameters and neuromuscular outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the effects of RT on metabolic and neuromuscular outcomes in older adults with type II DM through a systematic literature review. The following databases were used for the article search: PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane. Articles were included if they were in English, published in the last 10 years (2014 to 2024), and addressed the proposed topic. The search strategy in the electronic databases used the following descriptors: resistance training OR strength training AND diabetes OR glycemic control AND elderly OR older people. Initially, 293 articles were identified, and after exclusions, 10 articles were fully analyzed and included in this review. The analyzed studies demonstrated that RT can provide benefits for both metabolic outcomes, primarily evidenced by improvements in fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and glucose metabolism, and neuromuscular outcomes in older adults with type II DM. These benefits include improvements in lower limb muscle strength and mass, as well as enhanced functional capacity. These findings highlight the importance of resistance training for older adults with diabetes, proving to be a valuable ally in the management and control of this disease.

Orientador: Forte, Lucas Dantas Maia Abstract: Este trabalho teve como principal objetivo analisar os efeitos dos treinamentos resistido, aeróbico e combinado sobre a variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC) e a pressão arterial em indivíduos diagnosticados com hipertensão arterial sistêmica. A análise considerou tanto as respostas hemodinâmicas agudas, que ocorrem imediatamente após a realização do exercício, quanto as respostas crônicas, observadas ao longo do tempo com a prática regular dessas modalidades de treinamento. Para alcançar esse objetivo, foi conduzida uma revisão integrativa da literatura, fundamentada em pesquisa bibliográfica sistematizada na base de dados do PubMed nos últimos 10 anos. Foram selecionados quinze estudos que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão previamente estabelecidos: seis estudos enfocaram os efeitos agudos do exercício físico e nove investigaram os efeitos crônicos. Os resultados obtidos a partir da análise dos estudos demonstram que todas as modalidades de exercício – resistido, aeróbico e, especialmente, o treinamento combinado – promovem melhorias significativas na VFC quando realizados de forma crônica. O aumento da VFC é um indicativo de maior modulação autonômica cardíaca, refletindo uma melhora na saúde cardiovascular desses indivíduos. Além disso, observou-se uma redução consistente da pressão arterial em resposta tanto agudas, quanto às intervenções crônicas foi eficaz em induzir esse efeito hipotensor. É importante destacar que os estudos que reportaram os resultados mais expressivos utilizaram protocolos com intensidades moderadas a altas, sugerindo que a intensidade do exercício pode ser um fator determinante na magnitude das respostas fisiológicas observadas. Esses achados reforçam o papel do exercício físico como uma estratégia terapêutica não farmacológica eficaz para o controle da hipertensão arterial, contribuindo para a melhora da qualidade de vida e a redução do risco cardiovascular em indivíduos hipertensos.
