Similar cardiometabolic effects of high- and moderate-intensity training among apparently healthy inactive adults: a randomized clinical trial
(BioMed Central, 2017)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,

Physical fitness and anthropometric normative values among Colombian-Indian schoolchildren
(BioMed Central, 2016)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Substantial evidence indicates that children’s physical fitness levels are markers of their lifestyles and their
cardio-metabolic health profile and are predictors of the future risk of chronic diseases such ...
High intensity interval- vs resistance or combined-training for improving cardiometabolic health in overweight adults (cardiometabolic HIIT-RT study): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2016)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Although evidence shows the positive health effects of physical activity, most of the adult population
in Colombia are sedentary. It is, therefore, important to implement strategies that generate changes in ...
Muscle strength cut-offs for the detection of metabolic syndrome in a nonrepresentative sample of collegiate students from Colombia
