Effects of a 12-week Vivifrail exercise program on intrinsic capacity among frail cognitively impaired community-dwelling older adults: secondary analysis of a multicentre randomised clinical trial
(Oxford University Press, 2022)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Introduction: The World Health Organisation recently defined the construct of intrinsic capacity (IC), a function-based marker of older adult’s health encompassing all mental and physical capacities of the individual. ...
Measurement of physical activity and sedentary behavior in national health surveys, South America
(PAHO, 2022)

Objetivos. Describir cómo se han medido la actividad física y el sedentarismo en las encuestas nacionales de salud en los países de América del Sur. Métodos. Se llevó a cabo una extensa búsqueda de encuestas nacionales ...
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 ...
Prevention of diabetes in overweight/obese children through a family based intervention program including supervised exercise (PREDIKID project): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2017)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: The global pandemic of obesity has led to an increased risk for prediabetes and type-2 diabetes
(T2D). The aims of the current project are: (1) to evaluate the effect of a 22-week family based intervention
program, ...
Do associations between objectively-assessed physical activity and neighbourhood environment attributes vary by time of the day and day of the week? IPEN adult study
(BioMed Central, 2017)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: To more accurately quantify the potential impact of the neighbourhood environment on adults’
physical activity (PA), it is important to compare environment-PA associations between periods of the day or week
when ...
Increased PIO2 at exhaustion in hypoxia enhaces muscle activation and swifty relieves fatigue: a placebo or a PIO2 dependent effect?
(Frontiers Media, 2016)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
To determine the level of hypoxia from which muscle activation (MA) is reduced during incremental exercise to exhaustion (IE), and the role played by PIO2 in this process, ten volunteers (21 ± 2 years) performed four IE ...
High muscular fitness has a powerful protective cardiometabolic effect in adults: influence of weight status
(BioMed Central, 2016)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Low levels of muscular fitness (MF) are recognized as an important marker of nutritional status and a
predictor of metabolic complications, cardiovascular disease and death, however, the relationship between ...
Effects of different concurrent resistance and aerobic training frequencies on muscle power and muscle quality in trained elderly men: a randomized clinical trial
(Aging and Disease, 2016)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Muscle power is a strong predictor of functional status in the elderly population and is required to perform different daily activities. To compare the effects of different weekly training frequencies on muscle power and ...
The insulin-like growth factor system is modulated by exercise in breast cancer survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(BioMed Central, 2016)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Insulin-like growth factors (IGF´s) play a crucial role in controlling cancer cell proliferation,
differentiation and apoptosis. Exercise has been postulated as an effective intervention in improving ...
Perceived neighbourhood environmental attributes associated with adults’ recreational walking: IPEN Adult study in 12 countries
(Elsevier, 2014)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
This study examined the strength and shape of associations between perceived environmental
attributes and adults’ recreational walking, using data collected from 13,745 adult participants in
12 countries. Perceived residential ...
