(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 ...
Effects of backpacks on ground reaction forces in children of different ages when walking, running, and jumping
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Backpacks for transporting school loads are heavily utilized by children, and their mechanical advantages have been allowing children to transport heavy loads. These heavy loads may increase ground reaction forces (GRFs), ...
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 ...
Horizontal jumping biomechanics among elite female handball players with and without anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: an ISU based study
(BioMed Central, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Handball is a strenuous body-contact team sport that places high loads on the knee joint. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most devastating injuries that any handball player can suffer, and ...
Assessing the impact of physical exercise on cognitive function in older medical patients during acute hospitalization: secondary analysis of a randomized trial
(PLoS, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Acute illness requiring hospitalization frequently is a sentinel event leading to long-term disability in older people. Prolonged bed rest increases the risk of developing cognitive impairment and dementia in ...
Effect of a multicomponent exercise programme (VIVIFRAIL) on functional capacity in frail community elders with cognitive decline: study protocol for a randomized multicentre control trial
(BioMed Central, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: The benefit of physical exercise in ageing and particularly in frailty has been the aim of recent research. Moreover, physical activity in the elderly is associated with a decreased risk of mortality, of common ...
