Reference values for handgrip strength and their association with intrinsic capacity domains among older adults
(Wiley, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Objective The purposes of this study were three-fold: (i) to describe handgrip strength in older individuals aged >= 60 years in Colombia; (ii) to identify sex-specific and age-specific muscle weakness cut-off points in ...
Schoolbag weight carriage in Portuguese children and adolescents: a cross-sectional study comparing possible influencing factors
(BMC, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background Schoolbags and the consequences of carrying them, particularly those associated with overload, are often studied as a health concern. Modifications in gait and posture were reported when children carried loads ...
Effectiveness of HIIT compared to moderate continuous training in improving vascular parameters in inactive adults
(BMC, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Strong evidence shows that physical inactivity increases the risk of many adverse health conditions, including major non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), metabolic syndrome, and ...
Cardiorespiratory fitness normative values in Latin-american adolescents: role of fatness parameters
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The aim of this study was to provide percentile values for a cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) field test for Latin-American adolescents (34,461 girls and 38,044 boys) aged 13 to 15 years. The role of fatness parameters on ...
Effects of exercise intervention on health-related physical fitness and blood pressure in preschool children: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
(Springer, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: No previous systematic review has quantitatively examined the effect of physical exercise interventions on health-related physical fitness and blood pressure in children younger than 6 years old. Objective: To ...
Cardiorespiratory fitness cut-points are related to body adiposity parameters in Latin American adolescents
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background and Objectives: A deficiency exists in the criterion-referenced cut-points for field-based cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in Latin American youths. The aims of the present study were two-fold: (1) To identify ...
Feasibility and reliability of physical fitness tests among Colombian preschool children
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility and reliability of physical fitness field tests used in the 'Fuprecol kids' study among Colombian preschool children aged 3-5 years. A total of 90 preschoolers aged 3-5 ...
Muscle strength cut-offs for the detection of metabolic syndrome in a nonrepresentative sample of collegiate students from Colombia
(Elsevier, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Evidence shows an association between grip strength and health; however, grip strength cut-offs for the detection of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Latin American populations are scarce. The purpose of this study ...
Effects of exercise training on fetuin-a in obese, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in adults and elderly: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(BioMed Central, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: elevated levels of fetuin-A are associated with increased risks of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This meta-analysis investigated whether exercise interventions can ...
Handgrip strength and its relationship with white blood cell count in U.S. adolescents
(MDPI, 2021)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: The role of muscular fitness (as a protecting factor for an optimal immune system) and WBC count remains unclear. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the relationship between ...
