Long-Term exercise intervention in patients with McArdle disease: clinical and aerobic fitness benefits
(The American College of Sports Medicine, 2022-03-22)Introduction: The long-term effects of exercise in patients with McArdle disease—the paradigm of ‘exercise intolerance’—are unknown. This is an important question as the severity of the disease frequently increases with ... -
Combined Body Mass Index and Waist-to-Height Ratio and Its Association with Lifestyle and Health Factors among Spanish Children: The PASOS Study
(MDPI, 2022-01-06)Background and Aims: The World Health Organization recommended simultaneous measurement of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) and suggested joint use to predict disease risks. The aim of this study was ... -
Comparison of available equations to estimate sit-to-stand muscle power and their association with gait speed and frailty in older people: Practical applications for the 5-rep sit-to-stand test
(Elsevier, 2021-11-02)Objectives: This study aimed i) to compare relative sit-to-stand power (STSrel) values yielded by the different equations reported in the literature; ii) to examine the associations between STSrel, derived from the ... -
Association of accelerometer-derived step volume and intensity with hospitalizations and mortality in older adults: A prospective cohort study
(Elsevier, 2021-05-23)Purpose: To examine the associations of accelerometer-derived steps volume and intensity with hospitalizations and all-cause mortality in older adults. Methods: This prospective cohort study involved 768 community-dwelling ... -
Unsupervised home-based resistance training for community-dwelling older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
(Elsevier, 2021-05-19)Background: We aimed to summarize evidence on the safety, adherence and effectiveness of home-based resistance training (UHBRT) for improving health-related endpoints in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: Randomized ... -
Physical activity moderates the effect of sedentary time on an older adult's physical independence
(American Geriatrics Society, 2021-03-29)Background/objectives: Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and breaks in sedentary time (BST) have been proposed as viable solutions to improve an older adult's physical independence, whereas sedentary time (ST) ... -
Impact of COVID-19 Confinement on Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour in Spanish University Students: Role of Gender
(MDPI, 2021-01-06)During the COVID-19 pandemic, entire populations were instructed to live in home-confinement to prevent the expansion of the disease. Spain was one of the countries with the strictest conditions, as outdoor physical activity ... -
