Utilização de exercícios resistidos em reabilitação cardíaca: uma revisão de literatura
Resumo
O treinamento resistido tem sido recomendado como parte integrante de um programa de reabilitação cardíaca. As justificativas vão, desde a minimização dos efeitos deletérios da idade, até a reinclusão às atividades cotidianas. Entretanto, algumas respostas cardiovasculares a esse tipo de treinamento são temidas por alguns profissionais, que optam por uma intervenção mais conservadora, recomendando somente atividades aeróbicas cíclicas e contínuas. O objetivo deste estudo é verificar, por intermédio de uma revisão de literatura, os impactos agudos e crônicos do treinamento resistido na reabilitação cardíaca. Para isto, foram pesquisados artigos científicos nas bases de dados Pubmed, Scielo, Medline, Lilacs e Conchrane, usando os localizadores “Resistance Training”, “Coronary”, “Disease”, “Treinamento”, “Doença” e “Coronariana”. Dos materiais apresentados foram considerados, principalmente, os que se reportavam às adaptações agudas e crônicas ao treinamento resistido, as complicações cardiovasculares em testes e exercícios físicos, bem como a aderência dos indivíduos a este tipo de treinamento. Com base nos artigos apresentados, concluímos que o treinamento resistido é uma importante ferramenta na reabilitação cardíaca e, se prescrito e executado de forma adequada, oferece grandes benefícios com baixos riscos aos reabilitados.

Use of resistance training in cardiac rehabilitation: a review of literature
Abstract
The resistance training has been recommended as an integral part of a cardiac rehabilitation program. The justifications are provided to minimize the deleterious effects of age and the reinclusion of daily activities. However, some cardiovascular responses to this kind of training are not accepted by some professionals, who decide for a more conservative, recommending cyclical and continuous aerobic activity. The aim was to verify, through a literature review, the acute and chronic effects of resistance training in cardiac rehabilitation. For scientific articles that were searched in the databases Pubmed, Scielo, Medline, Lilacs and Conchrane, using the locators "Resistance Training", "Coronary", "Disease", “Treinamento”, “Doença” and “Coronariana”. Considering the material selected from literature, it was included those articles related only to acute and chronic adaptations to resistance training, cardiovascular complications in tests and physical exercises, and the adherence of individuals with this type of training. Based on the papers presented, we find that the resistance training is an important tool in cardiac rehabilitation and, if prescribed and implemented in an appropriate manner, offers great benefits with low risk to rehabilitated.
Key words: resistance training, coronary disease, heart disease, exercise, physical training.
