Resumo(s)
A obesidade consiste numa patologia complexa e multifactorial, cujo desenvolvimento em um dado momento, determina uma acumulação excessiva de adipócitos nas regiões corporais. De forma consequente, a obesidade condiciona o estado de saúde de uma pessoa, contribuindo para o aumento do risco de morbilidade e de mortalidade. Destaco dois fenómenos que contribuem para o desenvolvimento da obesidade, a inatividade física e a ingestão alimentar excessiva. A literatura científica tem demonstrado que a prática regular e adequada de exercício físico a longo prazo, contribui para a prevenção do desenvolvimento da obesidade.
No âmbito do mestrado de Exercício e Saúde, participei durante um ano académico como estagiário no Ginásio Clube Português (GCP), integrado numa equipa de fisiologistas de exercício. O GCP proporciona aos sócios a adesão a um programa de gestão e controlo do peso, o qual possibilita uma orientação ajustada durante o processo de treino, em função de vários momentos de avaliação e da constante monitorização dos exercícios físicos prescritos.
O contributo prestado à instituição, foi realizado através da participação em actividades de rastreio cardiovascular que decorreram durante todo o mês de Maio, à realização de um estudo científico que implicou o uso de um aparelho de bioimpedância adquirido recentemente e ao desempenho de tarefas nas salas de avaliação e de exercício físico.
Durante o período de estágio consegui evoluir as minhas competências enquanto fisiologista de exercício, em aspetos como o conhecimento técnico e as relações interpessoais, estando agora mais apto para integrar a área de exercício e saúde.
Obesity is a complex and a multifactorial pathology that once developed, determines an excessive accumulation of adipocytes in corporal segments. This pathology influences the health condition of a person, enhancing the risk of morbidity and mortality. There are two decisive phenomenons for the development of obesity, the physical inactivity and the excessive eating pattern. Several scientific papers have demonstrated, that a regular and correct pratice of physical exercise on a medium or long term, contributes to the prevention of obesity. Due to my presence on the Master Degree of Exercise and Health, i managed to do an internship of one year at the Ginásio Clube Português (GCP), an institution that provides a physical exercise program directed to weight management. This program is well organized and allows a correct guidance trough the workout routine, constantly monitorizing the performance and health status of the participants. My contribute to GCP was done mainly trough: activities on the diagnosis of cardiovascular risk factors during the entire month of May; a scientific study using a recent BIA equipment still not used by the exercise and health professionals and the performance of several tasks related with evaluation of the health status and exercise prescription. During the internship i managed to evolve my competences as an exercise physiologist, specially in the techical field as well in the social relationships, feeling more fit to perform on the exercise and health area.
