Handgrip strength attenuates the adverse effects of overweight on cardiometabolic risk factors among collegiate students but not in individuals with higher fat levels
(Nature Research, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The aims of this study are to (i) examine a clustered metabolic syndrome composite score (MetScore) and fatness among college students across body mass index (BMI) categories, and (ii) determine whether fit individuals ...
Gait speed as a mediator of the effect of sarcopenia on dependency in activities of daily living
(Wiley, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Sarcopenia in older adults is strongly associated with an increase in dependency in activities of daily living (ADL) and with a decline in gait speed. Interestingly, gait speed has been shown to independently ...
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 ...
Muscle fitness to visceral fat ratio, metabolic syndrome and ideal cardiovascular health metrics
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
This study aimed to investigate the association between the muscle fitness to visceral fat level (MVF) ratio and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics among college ...
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 ...
Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials on preoperative physical exercise interventions in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Preoperative physical exercise protocols prior to cancer surgery increased in popularity over recent years; however, the beneficial effect of such protocols is not well established, with conflicting results reported. We ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
