Changes in muscle power after usual care or early structured exercise intervention in acutely hospitalized older adults
(Wiley, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: A classic consequence of short-term bed rest in older adults is the significant loss in skeletal muscle mass and muscle strength that underlies the accelerated physical performance deficits. Structured exercise ...
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 ...
Exercise during pregnancy on maternal lipids: a secondary analysis of randomized controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2017)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Today, scientific evidence has supported the popular belief that physical activity is associated
with biological health in pregnant women. A randomized controlled trial was used to assess the benefits of
physical ...
Physical activity, sedentary behavior, sleep and self-regulation in Spanish preschoolers during the COVID-19 lockdown
(MDPI, 2021)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: A better understanding of the effects of the lockdown on lifestyle behaviors may help to guide the public health response to COVID-19 at a national level and to update the global strategy to respond COVID-19 ...
Higher cardiorespiratory fitness levels may attenuate the detrimental association between weight status, metabolic phenotype and C-reactive protein in adolescents—a multi-cohort study
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Results from several studies show that only obese, unfit subjects, but not obese, fit subjects, are at higher mortality risk than are normal-weight fit subjects. The aim of the study was two-fold: (1) to examine the ...
Effects of exercise interventions on inflammatory parameters in acutely hospitalized older patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
(MDPI, 2021)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to appraise the acute effects of exercise training on inflammatory parameters in hospitalized older adults. We conducted a systematic review using the Preferred ...
Normative values for the short physical performance battery (SPPB) and their association with anthropometric variables in older Colombian adults. The SABE Study, 2015
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: The short physical performance battery (SPPB) is a physical performance test of lower extremity function designed for non-disabled older adults. We aimed to establish reference values for community-dwelling ...
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 ...
Relative handgrip strength diminishes the negative effects of excess adiposity on dependence in older adults: a moderation analysis
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The adverse effects of fat mass on functional dependence might be attenuated or worsened, depending on the level of muscular strength. The aim of this study was to determine (i) the detrimental effect of excess adiposity ...
Normal-weight obesity is associated with poorer cardiometabolic profile and lower physical fitness levels in children and adolescents
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Normal-weight obesity (NWO) syndrome has been shown to be associated with cardiometabolic dysfunction. However, little is known regarding this potential relationship in Latin American children and adolescents. The aim of ...
