(Dovepress, 2016)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of two frequencies of high-speed resistance training (HSRT) on physical performance and quality of life of older women.
Methods: A total of 24 older women participated ...
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 ...
Effects of exercise training on fetuin-a in obese, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in adults and elderly: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(BioMed Central, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: elevated levels of fetuin-A are associated with increased risks of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This meta-analysis investigated whether exercise interventions can ...
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 ...
Physical fitness and anthropometric normative values among Colombian-Indian schoolchildren
(BioMed Central, 2016)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Substantial evidence indicates that children’s physical fitness levels are markers of their lifestyles and their
cardio-metabolic health profile and are predictors of the future risk of chronic diseases such ...
Relationship between handgrip strength and muscle mass in female survivors of breast cancer: a mediation analysis
(MDPI, 2017)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
This study explored the mediating factors of sarcopenia in a group of women survivors

survivors of breast cancer, who were ...
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 ...
Similar cardiometabolic effects of high- and moderate-intensity training among apparently healthy inactive adults: a randomized clinical trial
(BioMed Central, 2017)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases the risk of morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease,
and exercise training is an important factor in the treatment and prevention of the clinical components of ...
Aerobic capacity and future cardiovascular risk in Indian community from a low-income area in Cauca, Colombia
(BioMed Central, 2017)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Several studies indicates that children’s aerobic capacity levels are predictors of the future risk of
non-communicable diseases. Therefore, the aim of this study was to establish the proportion of subjects ...
