Advances in technology now allow for unprecedented exploration of the body and mind, shifting our focus towards understanding the intricate neurochemical, cellular, and molecular processes influenced by various exercise regimes, including type, intensity, duration, and frequency. Our challenge in this conference is to enhance our understanding of "how it works" and to unravel the mechanisms behind the benefits of physical activity, as well as exercise behaviour in old age. Our scientific program includes three eminent scholars who will deliver central keynote speeches, along with symposiums, oral sessions, and poster presentations. We wish you all a pleasant and fruitful conference.

Nesse estudo observacional utilizamos um procedimento de Delphi (duas rondas) em que 12 formandos concluíram a pesquisa, apontando a necessidade de mais atenção as inovações tecnológicas na formação em fisioterapia.

Any specific activity performed will often cause chronic irritation to the tendons that attach to the medial aspect of the elbow. It is called "golfer's elbow" (or what was formerly called medial epicondylitis) when there is an injury to the medial tendinous region of the elbow. It is a form of tendinitis that causes pain and inflammation in the tendons that connect the forearm to the elbow. The pain is concentrated in the bony protuberance on the inside of the elbow and may radiate down the forearm. Treatment options include rest, ice, NSAIDs, physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections. Tendinopathies are common causes of elbow pain, resulting in significant functional limitations in golfers, especially professionals over 25 years of age. Golfers complain of gradual onset pain with or without specific trauma. However, elbow tendinopathy can be caused by sports activities other than golf and tennis, as well as work-related activities that involve heavy use of the wrist and forearm muscles.

Authors: Sousa, João Paulo Abstract: O exercício é uma parte importante da reabilitação. Os exercícios de reabilitação visam melhorar a força muscular, mobilidade, condição física, qualidade de vida, pressão arterial, controle de açúcar no sangue, função cardíaca e pulmonar, controle de peso, autoestima e neutralizar/reverter os efeitos colaterais do tratamento com esteroides1. O exercício de reabilitação estimula o cérebro a se reconectar por meio da neuroplasticidade, o que melhora a sua capacidade de enviar sinais aos músculos. Os exercícios de reabilitação também podem reduzir o risco de queda, melhorar o equilíbrio, reduzir os sintomas de tontura e aumentar a força corporal. O objetivo da reabilitação é restaurar a função ao máximo no menor tempo possível, ajudando as pessoas a retornarem à sua função com risco mínimo de reincidência. A reabilitação também ajuda a minimizar ou retardar os efeitos incapacitantes de condições crônicas de saúde, como doenças cardiovasculares, câncer e diabetes, e contribui para um envelhecimento saudável.
