ABSTRACT Whole-body and regional raw bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) parameters have been used to develop lean soft tissue estimation prediction models. Still, no fat mass (FM) assessment models provided. Hence, we aimed validate BIA-derived equations predict FM against dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in healthy adults. One hundred forty-eight adults (77 females) were included this cross-sectional investigation. DXA assessed whole-body FM, of distinct body regions measured...
Abstract 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 independence, whereas (ST) has associated with detrimental effects. We sought assess the joint effects of ST, BST, MVPA on independence adults determine whether what extent ST relationship is moderated by and/or BST. Design Cross‐sectional. Setting Laboratory Exercise Health, Faculty Human Kinetics. Participants...
Objectives Muscle power is important for an older adult’s physical independence and can be easily estimated using the sit-to-stand test. This investigation aimed to assess whether muscle test could identify adults at risk of losing beyond handgrip strength, activity, sedentary time develop minimal thresholds. Design Physical was assessed cross-sectionally in a composite function questionnaire. calculated 30-sec strength determined dynamometer. activity were by accelerometry. Multiple...
Assessment of trends in physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) is important for evaluating the effectiveness national policies setting goals to improve population PA. This study describes changes measured PA ST through motion sensors Portuguese from 2008 2018.PA were with accelerometry individuals (≥10 yr) participating ( n = 4 532) 2018 6 369) Surveillance Systems. Changes analyzed using generalized linear logistic models adjusted accelerometer wear time. A weight factor was applied...
Evidence on correlates relies subjective metrics and fails to include across all levels of the ecologic model. We determined which best predict sensor-based physical activity (PA), sedentary time (ST), self-reported cell phone screen (CST) in a large sample youth, while considering multiplicity correlates.Using accelerometry, we assessed PA ST 2179 youths. A χ2 automatic interaction detection algorithm was used hierarchize associated with too much (> 50th percentile), insufficient...
This investigation aimed to describe the current physical fitness (PF) status of Portuguese youth, compare secular trends from 2008 and 2018, establish updated age- sex-specific percentile values for distinct PF tests. In 22 048 8960 children adolescents (10-18 years) were included in two national cross-sectional investigations. was evaluated using FITESCOLA® battery tests handgrip strength test. Independent sample t-tests chi-squared used model results. Weight smoothed calculated Cole's...
Purpose : Little is known about the interindividual variability in fat mass (FM) loss response to high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate continuous (MCT) individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Moreover, impact on health-related outcomes those who fail reduce FM still unclear. The aims of this investigation were (1) assess if T2DM differed across MCT, HIIT, control groups over a 1-year intervention (2) changes glycemic vascular function exercising patients failed lose...
The hypothesis that people may increase sedentary behavior (SB), referred to as "compensation" in response exercise interventions, have raised concern. evidence on is contradictory and mostly derived from moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) interventions lasting less than 1 year. aim was investigate whether two types of iso-energetic (MICT high-intensity interval (HIIT), both combined with resistance training) resulted compensations SB, patients T2D. Eighty volunteers were randomly...
Lack of efficacy weight loss(WL) interventions is attributed in-part to low adherence dietary/physical activity(PA) recommendations. However, some compensation may occur in PA as a response energy restriction such decrease non-exercise PA(NEPA) or activity thermogenesis(NEAT). The current study aim was (1) investigate whether adaptive thermogenesis(AT) NEAT occurs after WL, and (2) understand the associations these compensations with WL. Ninety-four former athletes [mean±SD, age: 43.0±9.4y,...
ObjectivesDespite the health importance of identifying correlates physical fitness (PF) in youth, no investigation to date has explored influence behavioral, health-related, and contextual simultaneously. We investigated hierarchical relationship multiple modifiable favoring or diminishing cardiorespiratory (CRF) muscular (MF) youth.DesignCross-sectional investigation.MethodIn a sample 5174 children adolescents, 31 were hierarchized according their impact on CRF MF assessed using FITESCOLA®...
Abstract Issue The convergence of global sustainability and health promotion implies integrated policies actions. Initiatives like the European Green Deal UN’s Sustainable Development Goals emphasize urgent need to address climate change while promoting through behaviours such as physical activity (PA). Description We explore relationship between PA, sustainability, outcomes, highlighting Deal’s impact on PA 2030 Agenda for Development’s alignment with behaviours. In addition, we further...
<title>Abstract</title> Exploring individuals’ patterns of physical activity and sedentary behaviour can reveal profiles that could differently impact health outcomes benefit targeted interventions. This study aimed to identify latent in older adults examine their association with fitness function outcomes. The sample included 1095 participants (765 females) from the Portuguese sports monitoring system. Latent were identified based on percentage waking time spent behaviour, light activity,...
Abstract Athletes retiring from their sports career, an understudied population, are susceptible to become overweight/obese because of decreased energy expenditure not followed by a reduction in intake. Therefore, requirements, through resting metabolic rate (RMR), should be accurately addressed for weight management purposes. This study aimed determine the validity predictive equations (PEq) RMR estimation using indirect calorimetry as reference method sample former athletes. The uses...
Abstract Aims This investigation aimed to determine the effect of different intensities training on non-exercise physical activity (NEPA) and estimated thermogenesis (NEAT) from a 1-year exercise randomized controlled trial (RCT) in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) non-training days. Additionally, changes NEPA NEAT those who failed (low-responders) or succeeded (high-responders) attaining exercise-derived clinically meaningful reductions body weight (BW) fat mass (FM) (i.e.,...
