The Diabetes and Aquatic Training Study (DATS)

The test is characterized by greater load that can be supported in a single execution of knees extension exercise.

The test is characterized by greater load that can be supported in a single execution of elbows flexion exercise.

To determine the resistant dynamic muscle strength, it was considered the number of repetitions performed at 60% of 1RM, following a pace and breadth of pre-established execution. In the post-training evaluation, we used the load of 60% of 1RM test performed in the pre-training.

The SRT basically consists in the quantification of the number of support (hands and/or knees, or hands or forearms on knees) one utilizes in order to sit and to rise from the floor.

To evaluate the quality of life we used the WHOQOL-brief instrument. This instrument is self-applicable, cross-cultural, translated and validated for Portuguese, consisting of 26 questions. Its score ranges from zero to 100 points, divided into the physical, psychological, social relationships and environment, as well as an assessment of the overall quality of life.

For evaluation of depressive symptoms was used the questionnaire PHQ-9 depression, which consists of nine items, including symptoms and attitudes whose intensity varies from zero to three, with 27 your score.

Sleep quality was assessed by Pittsburgh scale, consisting of 19 questions on the perception of oneself and five questions relating to the perception that the roommates of these individuals have about sleep the same. These questions are grouped into seven components, with score of zero to three.

This questionnaire includes 10 items, organized in 3 categories related to snoring and apneas witnessed (5 items), daytime sleepiness (4 items) and high blood pressure (HTA) / obesity (1 item). Information on gender, age, height, weight, race neck circumference and is also requested. The determination of high or low risk to OSAS is based on responses in each category itens.

The IPAQ short form asks about three specific types of activity undertaken in the three domains introduced above and sitting. The specific types of activity that are assessed are walking, moderate-intensity activities and vigorous intensity activities; frequency (measured in days per week) and duration (time per day) are collected separately for each specific type of activity.
