Effect of warm-up on hand grip strength in sedentary overweight women
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2020-11)Introduction: In recent years, handgrip strength assessment has gained special relevance in health. However, a standardized application protocol that includes warm-up procedures is required to measure it. Objective: To ... -
The joint association of sarcopenia and frailty with incidence and mortality health outcomes: A prospective study
(Churchill Livingstone, 2021-04)Background: Sarcopenia and frailty are strongly associated with disease incidence and mortality. However, there is limited evidence regarding their joint association with health outcomes. This study aimed to investigate ... -
Methodological design for the assessment of physical activity and sedentary time in eight Latin American countries - The ELANS study
(Elsevier BV, 2020-03)Worldwide studies of physical activity and sedentary time have historically under-represented low- and middle-income countries due to the lack of surveillance data. The purpose of this paper is to describe the methods and ... -
Neuronal HIF-1 alpha in the nucleus tractus solitarius contributes to ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2020-05)We hypothesized that hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) in CNS respiratory centres is necessary for ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia (VAH); VAH is a time-dependent increase in baseline ventilation and the ... -
Is waist-to-height ratio a better predictor of hypertension and type 2 diabetes than body mass index and waist circumference in the Chilean population?
(Elsevier Inc., 2020-12)Objective: The aim of this study was to identify which anthropometric measurement (body mass index [BMI], waist circumference [WC], or waist-to-height ratio [WHtR]) is a better predictor of type 2 diabetes and hypertension ... -
Optimal cut-off points for waist circumference in the definition of metabolic syndrome in Chile
(Cambridge University Press, 2020-11)Objective: To identify sex-specific cut-off points for waist circumference (WC) in the definition of metabolic syndrome (MetS) for the Chilean adult population. Design: MetS was defined as the presence of at least two out ... -
Effects of plyometric jump training in female soccer player's vertical jump height: A systematic review with meta-analysis
(Routledge, 2020-07)To assess the effects of plyometric jump training (PJT) in female soccer player's vertical jump height, a review was conducted using the data sources PubMed, MEDLINE, Web Of Science and SCOPUS. Only peer-review articles ... -
Effects of Plyometric Jump Training on Jump and Sprint Performance in Young Male Soccer Players: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
(Springer International Publishing AG, 2020-12)Background Even from a young age, modern soccer requires high levels of physical fitness development, particularly jumping and sprinting. Plyometric jump training (PJT), combined with young athletes' regular soccer sessions, ... -
Effects of Plyometric Jump Training on Vertical Jump Height of Volleyball Players: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis of Randomized-Controlled Trial
(Department of Sports Medicine, Medical Faculty of Uludag University, 2020-09)This meta-analysis aimed to assess the effects of plyometric jump training (PJT) on volleyball players' vertical jump height (VJH), comparing changes with those observed in a matched control group. A literature search in ... -
Effect of High-Intensity Interval Training on Body Composition, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Blood Pressure, and Substrate Utilization During Exercise Among Prehypertensive and Hypertensive Patients With Excessive Adiposity
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-10)Regular exercise training is a recognized lifestyle strategy to lower resting blood pressure (BP), but little is known about substrate metabolism in population with high BP. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate ... -
Does the association between physical capability and mortality differ by deprivation? Findings from the UK Biobank population-based cohort study
(Routledge, 2020-12)Background To investigate whether the excess risk of adverse health outcomes associated with a lower physical capability in adulthood differs by deprivation levels. Methods 279,030 participants from the UK Biobank were ... -
Does insulin-like growth factor moderate the association between height and risk of cancer at 24 sites?
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-11)Background Whether the association of height with cancers differs by insulin-like growth factors has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the sex-specific associations between height and ... -
Comparison of two different frailty measurements and risk of hospitalisation or death from COVID-19: findings from UK Biobank
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2020-11)Background Frailty has been associated with worse prognosis following COVID-19 infection. While several studies have reported the association between frailty and COVID-19 mortality or length of hospital stay, there have ... -
Comparison of self-report versus accelerometer - measured physical activity and sedentary behaviors and their association with body composition in Latin American countries
(Public Library of Science, 2020-04)Background: Most population-based studies from Latin America have used questionnaires to measure physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviors (SB). Low reliability and validity of the questionnaires has limited the ... -
Physical capability markers used to define sarcopenia and their association with cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes and all-cause mortality: A prospective study from UK Biobank
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2020-08)Introduction: It is unclear what combinations of physical capability markers used to define sarcopenia have the strongest associations with health outcomes. Aim: To compare the associations between different combinations ... -
