During the COVID-19 pandemic, entire populations were instructed to live in home-confinement prevent expansion of disease. Spain was one countries with strictest conditions, as outdoor physical activity banned for nearly two months. This study aimed analyse changes and sedentary behaviours Spanish university students before during confinement by special focus on gender. We also analysed enjoyment, tools used motivation impediments doing activity. An online questionnaire, which included...
Purpose: There is evidence to suggest a beneficial effect of physical activity on several mental disorders. Methods: The study aim was assess the association between low during leisure time (or sedentary lifestyles) and incidence disorders in 10,381 participants, from Spanish dynamic prospective cohort university graduates followed up for 6 yr (the SUN study). baseline assessment included validated questionnaire leisure-time activities. A subject classified as an incident case disorder if he...
Abstract Objective: The main purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between physical activity (PA) levels and adiposity. secondary assess effect fitness living area on Research Methods Procedures: A cross‐sectional carried out in a regional representative sample 1068 children 7 12 years age. Anthropometric values (including BMI, aerobic capacity, strength levels, velocity assessment, flexibility) were measured all children. Results: prevalence being overweight obese entire...
Coupled with the growth of older population, an increase in prevalence overweight and obesity this age group has occurred last decades. The main aims present study were (i) to provide updated a representative sample Spanish elderly population; (ii) calculate sarcopenic (SO) (iii) analyse relationships between adiposity measurements lifestyle. A cross-sectional was carried out 3136 persons non-institutionalized population ≥65 years age. Anthropometric obtained using standardized techniques...
Objective The aim of this study was to examine the association sedentary behaviour patterns with frailty in older people. Setting Clinical setting. Design Cross-sectional, observational study. Participants and measurements A triaxial accelerometer used a subsample from Toledo Study for Healthy Aging (519 participants, 67–97 years) assess several including time per day, number duration (min) breaks proportion day spent bouts 10 minutes or more. Frailty assessed using Trait Scale (FTS)....
Abstract Background The associations between free‐living physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) sarcopenia in older people its determinants are controversial. Self‐reporting, the use of one‐size‐fits‐all cut‐points for intensity categorization when using accelerometers absence a clear definition hampered explorations. aim this study is to describe objectively measured PA patterns determinants. Methods Subjects aged >65 with valid accelerometry sarcopenia‐related measures from...
Abstract This study aimed to assess the validity and functional relevance of a standardized procedure lower limb muscle power by means 30-s sit-to-stand (STS) test when compared leg extension (LEP), traditional STS performance handgrip strength. A total 628 community-dwelling older subjects (60–93 years) from Copenhagen Sarcopenia Study were included. Physical was assessed 10-m maximal gait speed tests. Handgrip strength LEP recorded hand-held dynamometer Nottingham rig, respectively....
We used data from 3041 participants in four cohorts of community-dwelling individuals aged ≥65 years Spain collected through a pre-pandemic face-to-face interview and telephone conducted between weeks 7 to 15 after the beginning COVID-19 lockdown. On average, confinement was not associated with deterioration lifestyle risk factors (smoking, alcohol intake, diet, or weight), except for decreased physical activity increased sedentary time, which reversed end confinement. However, chronic pain...
A validated, standardized, and feasible test to assess muscle power in older adults has recently been reported: the sit-to-stand (STS) test. This investigation aimed relationship between relative STS age provide normative data, cut-off points, minimal clinically important differences (MCID) for measures women men.
Purpose: To determine the effect of physical activity on bone mineral accrual during growth in prepuberal boys. Methods: Seventeen soccer players and 11 matched (physically active) control boys (Tanner 1–2, at start study) were followed over a 3-yr period. Bone content (BMC) areal density (BMD) was measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. The maximal positive mechanical impulse (CJipos) height jumped (Hj) countermovement vertical jumps assessed with plate force. Additionally, 30-m...
To investigate to what extent bone mass accrual is determined by physical activity and changes in lean, fat, total body during growth.Twenty six physically active 16 age matched control boys were followed up for three years. All subjects prepubertal at the start of survey (mean (SEM) 9.4 (0.3) years). The weekly included compulsory education sessions (80-90 minutes a week), hours week extracurricular sports participation, occasional competitions weekends. group was limited curriculum. Bone...
