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 ...
Exercise as therapeutic agent to improve intrinsic capacity in older adults
(Asociación Española de Ciencias del Deporte, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Frailty has emerged as one of the most relevant clinical syndromes, due to its direct relationship with adverse health effects such as physical and functional decline and institutionalization. Physical inactivity has been ...
Concurrent training in prepubertal children: an update
(Universidad de Alicante, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
This paper affords an update review over the state of art regarding the importance of physical fitness and the significance of different combination approaches between resistance and aerobic training, as well as conditioning ...
Effects of an exercise program on hepatic metabolism, hepatic fat, and cardiovascular health in overweight/obese adolescents from Bogotá, Colombia (the HEPAFIT study): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(BioMed Central, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: A considerable proportion of contemporary youth have a high risk of obesity-related disorders such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Although there is ...
The effect of 12 weeks of water-aerobics on health status and physical fitness: an ecological approach
(Public Library of Science, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The main purpose of the present study was to verify the effects of a 12-week water aerobics program in a real-life context on health indicators and physical fitness in adults and older adults. Fifteen volunteers (58.80 ± ...
Acute effects of high intensity, resistance, or combined protocol on the increase of level of neurotrophic factors in physically inactive overweight adults: the brainfit study
(Frontiers Media, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The purpose of this study was to compare the neurotrophic factor response following one session of high-intensity exercise, resistance training or both in a cohort of physically inactive overweight adults aged 18–30 years ...
Inter-individual variability in responses to 7 weeks of plyometric jump training in male youth soccer players
(Frontiers Media, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The purpose of this study was to compare the inter-individual variability in the effects of plyometric jump training (PJT) on measures of physical fitness (sprint time, change of direction speed, countermovement jump, 20- ...
Sprint mechanics evaluation using inertial sensor-based technology: a laboratory validation study
(Wiley, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Advances in micro‐electromechanical systems have turned magnetic inertial measurement units (MIMUs) into a suitable tool for vertical jumping biomechanical evaluation. Thus, this study aimed to determine whether appropriate ...
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 ...
Prevalence of non-responders for blood pressure and cardiometabolic risk factors among prehypertensive women after long-term high-intensity interval training
(Frontiers Media, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Exercise is known to improve cardiometabolic outcomes; however, results are typically reported as mean values, and there is wide interindividual variability in terms of response that has not been explored in ...
