Summary

Inflammatory markers have been analyzed in several diseases of unknown etiology, in the expectation of increasing therapeutic perspectives. This possibility arises from the different levels of tissue injury with low-grade chronic inflammation that have been observed in studies in which the markers were not evaluated traditionally, and today have influenced clinical management. The investigators aimed, therefore, to evaluate the inflammatory markers in patients with AIS before and after aerobic and combined exercise training.

Detailed description

Inflammatory markers have not been evaluated in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), but this deformity potentially involves various musculoskeletal structures permanently, which justifies the analysis. A low-grade chronic inflammation may be related to the lower capacity in exercise performance observed in this population, which must be stimulated to perform standardized physical activity.

Conditions

• Scoliosis
• Adolescent Scoliosis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	aerobic exercise	aerobic training 40 minutes on a treadmill (60-80% of maximum heart rate)
OTHER	combined exercise	aerobic training 40 minutes on a treadmill (60-80% of maximum heart rate); resisted training in equipment and free weights for 10 minutes with a set of 10 repetitions in quadriceps, triceps and biceps of the arms and legs
DEVICE	treadmill
