Physical activity has many health benefits, and to implement strategies, mainly in those groups with insufficient levels of practice, it is important evaluate physical activity. The main purpose this study was describe the prevalence Portuguese population aged 10 yr older using accelerometry.The accelerometers were worn for four consecutive days, a valid record defined as at least 3 d h wear time, including one weekend day. Considering these conditions, 4696 participants included.According...
This study examined the effects of a 48-week exercise-based intervention on metabolic profile, autism traits, and perceived quality life in children with spectrum disorder (ASD). We randomly allocated 64 ASD (aged 6–12 years) to experimental ( n = 46) control groups 18) used multilevel regression modeling examine responses receiving or not intervention. The group showed beneficial indicators (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density total cholesterol), parent-perceived life. Our...
The aim of this research was to report the prevalence overweight and obesity in a representative sample Portuguese youth.This school-based study performed Portugal. A total 22 048 children adolescents aged 10-18 years were included study. World Health Organization (WHO) International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) cut-offs used categorise obese participants.Using IOTF 17.0 4.6% girls, 17.7 5.8% boys, respectively (p < 0.001 for p > 0.05 obesity), whereas WHO resulted scores 23.1 9.6% 20.4 10.3%...
Cognitive impairment that affects older adults is commonly associated with an inflammatory imbalance, resulting in decreased physical fitness. Exercise has been pointed to mitigate immunosenescence and cognitive aging, while increase However, few studies explored the relationship between changes cytokine concentration improvement on cognition due elastic band strength training. The aim of this study was investigate effects training pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines, haematological markers...
Ageing is a life-long process characterized by progressive loss of physical fitness compromising strength, flexibility, and agility. The purpose this study was to use accelerometry examine the relationship between sedentary time, light activity (LPA), moderate vigorous (MVPA) with elderly's fitness. Additionally, we aimed association aforementioned variables on older adults who fulfilled global recommendations for health those did not fulfil these recommendations.Eighty-three elderly (mean ±...

Background Currently, there is no standard treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), but are many ways to minimize the symptoms and maximize abilities. Some studies suggest that exercise other physical activities with children ASD may be beneficial. In this study, we hypothesized a program (48-week exercise-intervention) could improve symptomatology dyad among adolescents ASD. Our main aim was examine effects of activity on primary clinical associated comorbidities in Methods We...
Perioperative risk assessment helps inform clinical practice for older people with hip fractures. This is a cohort study, where perioperative screening, including NHFS, was performed at admission, followed by an evaluation of 30-day outcomes. 503 patients were included, 73% female, 79.4 ± 9.3 years old; 58% presented extracapsular and 42% intracapsular fractures, mortality 9%. The NHFS higher in the who died 5.6 1.1 compared to survivals 4.3 1.5 (p-value < 0.001). > 4 associated observed Cox...

Burnout syndrome has a negative impact on university students' health worldwide. Global prevalence of each dimension the is estimated at 55.4% for emotional exhaustion, 31.6% cynicism and 30.9% academic inefficacy.Evaluate efficacy physical exercise in reducing burnout levels students.We carried out an investigation students from Technical University Ambato, Ecuador. Students were different career tracks, randomly selected, assigned to three groups with pre-test post-test measurements: two...
Abstract This study examined the effects of culture, gender and age on structure mean levels physical self‐concept (PSC) social physique anxiety (SPA) in adolescents from Portugal Spain. An additional aim was to examine these variables PSC‐SPA correlation. Adolescents ( N = 3528, range 12–18 years) completed scale self‐worth self‐perception profile. Single‐ multi‐sample confirmatory factor analyses supported a two‐factor model PSC SPA overall sample within across subsamples. Latent means...
Physical exercise has shown positive effects on symptomatology and the reduction of comorbidities in populations with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is still no consensus about most appropriate intervention model for children ASD. The Exercise Program-Autism (PEP-Aut) protocol designed to allow us to: i) examine multivariate associations between ASD symptoms, metabolic profile, physical activity level, fitness health related quality life ASD; ii) assess a 40 weeks program all...
