(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 ...
Effectiveness of HIIT compared to moderate continuous training in improving vascular parameters in inactive adults
(BMC, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Strong evidence shows that physical inactivity increases the risk of many adverse health conditions, including major non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), metabolic syndrome, and ...
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 ...
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 ...
Active commuting to and from university, obesity and metabolic syndrome among Colombian university students
(BioMed Central, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: There is limited evidence concerning how active commuting (AC) is associated with health benefits in young. The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between AC to and from campus (walking) and obesity ...
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 ...
Can physical activity attenuate the negative association between sitting time and cognitive function among older adults? A mediation analysis
(Elsevier, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The purpose of this study was to examine the combined association of sitting time and physical activity with cognitive function and to determine whether moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is a mediator of the ...
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 ...
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 ...
