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 ...
Relative handgrip strength diminishes the negative effects of excess adiposity on dependence in older adults: a moderation analysis
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The adverse effects of fat mass on functional dependence might be attenuated or worsened, depending on the level of muscular strength. The aim of this study was to determine (i) the detrimental effect of excess adiposity ...
Normal-weight obesity is associated with poorer cardiometabolic profile and lower physical fitness levels in children and adolescents
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Normal-weight obesity (NWO) syndrome has been shown to be associated with cardiometabolic dysfunction. However, little is known regarding this potential relationship in Latin American children and adolescents. The aim of ...
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 ...
Liver fat content and body fat distribution in youths with excess adiposity
(MDPI, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
This study had two main objectives: To examine the association between body fat distribution and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver fat content, and to determine whether the relationship between NAFLD and ...
Grip strength moderates the association between anthropometric and body composition indicators and liver fat in youth with an excess of adiposity
(MDPI, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Paediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered the most common early driver of chronic liver disease. The aim of this study was to examine whether grip strength moderates the association between ...
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 ...
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 ...
Handgrip strength and its relationship with white blood cell count in U.S. adolescents
(MDPI, 2021)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: The role of muscular fitness (as a protecting factor for an optimal immune system) and WBC count remains unclear. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the relationship between ...
Weight loss after 12 weeks of exercise and/or nutritional guidance is not obligatory for induced changes in local fat/lean mass indexes in adults with excess of adiposity
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The objectives of this secondary analysis are (1) to investigate the differential effects of exercise training modalities–high-intensity interval training (HIIT), resistance training (RT), combined training (CT = HIIT + ...
