An evaluation of the effectiveness of a multi-modal intervention in frail and pre-frail older people with type 2 diabetes--the MID-Frail study: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2014)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Diabetes, a highly prevalent, chronic disease, is associated with increasing frailty and functional decline in older people, with concomitant personal, social, and public health implications. We describe the ...
Reliability of health-related physical fitness tests among Colombian children and adolescents: the FUPRECOL study
(Public Library of Science, 2015)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Substantial evidence indicates that youth physical fitness levels are an important marker of
lifestyle and cardio-metabolic health profiles and predict future risk of chronic diseases. The
reliability physical fitness ...
Construct validity and test-retest reliability of the International Fitness Scale (IFIS) in Colombian children and adolescents aged 9-17.9 years: the FUPRECOL study
(PeerJ, 2017)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: there is a lack of instruments and studies written in Spanish evaluating physical fitness, impeding the determination of the current status of this important health indicator in the Latin population, especially ...
The chronic effects of low- and high-intensity resistance training on muscular fitness in adolescents
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
To compare the effects of high-load, low-repetition maximum (LRM) and low-load, high-repetition
maximum (HRM) resistance training regimens on muscular fitness in untrained adolescents.
Forty-five untrained adolescents ...
Functional and cognitive impairment prevention through early physical activity for geriatric hospitalized patients: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2015)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Frail older adults have reduced functional and physiological reserves, rendering them more vulnerable
to the effects of hospitalization, which frequently results in failure to recover from the pre-hospitalization ...
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 ...
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 ...
Relative contribution of arms and legs in 30 s fully tethered front crawl swimming
(Hindawi, 2015)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The relative contribution of arm stroke and leg kicking to maximal fully tethered front crawl swimming performance remains to
be solved. Twenty-three national level young swimmers (12 male and 11 female) randomly performed ...
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 ...
Strength and endurance training prescription in healthy and frail elderly
(International Society on Aging and Disease (ISOAD), 2014)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Aging is associated with declines in the neuromuscular and cardiovascular systems, resulting in an impaired capacity to perform daily activities. Frailty is an age-associated biological syndrome characterized by decreases ...
