Objectives This study aimed to implement innovative teaching methods − blended learning strategies that include the use of new information technologies in human anatomy and analyse both impact these on academic performance, degree user satisfaction. Methods The was carried out among students Year 1 biology curriculum (human profile) at Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona. Two groups were tested knowledge locomotor system results compared between groups. Blended employed group (BL group, n =...
There is limited information about the impact of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on muscular dysfunction, despite generalized weakness and fatigue that patients report after overcoming acute phase infection. This study aimed to detect impaired muscle efficiency by evaluating delta (DE) in with COVID-19 compared subjects chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD), ischaemic heart (IHD), control group (CG).A total 60 participants were assigned four experimental groups: COVID-19, COPD, IHD, CG (n = 15...
To determine if whole body vibration training (WBVT) improves muscular force and modifies functional capacity parameters in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).We performed a randomized controlled trial the outpatient Physical Medicine Rehabilitation Department of general hospital. Sixty stable male COPD mean forced expiratory volume 1 s (FEV1) 34.3% (predicted) were enrolled 51 completing study. Participants into two groups: Whole Body Vibration Training Group...
Purpose: On March 16, 2020, the Spanish government declared a state of alarm due to rapid spread coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD) were restricted remain confined at home, and medical visits cancelled for 3 months. The impact this lockdown on manifestations COPD quality-of-life these patients has not been explored. Methods: One hundred interviewed by telephone from May 2– 18, 2020. interviews included questions about lockdown, missed...
Lower limb amputation leads to impaired balance, ambulation, and transfers. Proper fit of the prosthesis is a determining factor for successful ambulation. Vacuum-assisted socket systems extract air from socket, which decreases pistoning probability soft-tissue injuries increases proprioception comfort.To investigate effect vacuum-assisted system on transtibial amputees' performance-based perceived transfers, gait.Quasi-experimental before-and-after study.Subjects were initially assessed...
Background: Quantifying physical activity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is important as inactivity related to poor health outcomes. This study analyzed the relationship between patients' self-reported daily walking time and relevant characteristics COPD severity. Methods: Pooled analysis was performed on data from four observational studies which gathered a personal interview. Patients were classified physically inactive if <30 min/day. Walking times described compared...
There is a lack of information regarding the slow component oxygen uptake (VO2sc) and efficiency/economy in resistance exercises despite crucial role played endurance performance. Purpose: this study aimed to compare VO2sc, efficiency/economy, metabolic, cardiorespiratory responses, rating perceived effort mechanical fatigue between cycling half-squat (HS) during constant-load test at lactate threshold (LT1) intensity. Methods: Twenty-one healthy men were randomly assigned crossover design...
The ability to walk with a prosthesis is the main objective of rehabilitation following amputation, and distance speed walking achieved are considered determining factors in amputees' perception quality-of-life.To assess abilities improvement gait parameters patients undergoing transfemoral amputation femoral implant that allows distal support residuum.Experimental before-and-after study.Ten received titanium allowed weight bearing residuum within socket. post-intervention follow-up period...
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 15-week telerehabilitation program and detraining period on cardiorespiratory fitness mechanical efficiency in patients with post-COVID-19 sequelae.
Prospective longitudinal study.To identify prognosis factors that allow us to patients with risk of developing chronic symptoms and disabilities after a whiplash injury.The for poor recovery in acute are not conclusive.We included 557 who suffered injury road traffic accident visited the Department Physical Medicine Rehabilitation Mataró Hospital (Spain) medical evaluation rehabilitation treatment. The variables were collected following protocol designed study, all assessed through Visual...
Background: The scientific literature has reported an inverse association between broccoli consumption and the risk of suffering from several types cancer; however, results were not entirely consistent across studies. A systematic review meta-analysis observational studies conducted to determine cancer with aim clarifying beneficial biological effects on cancer. Methods: PubMed/MEDLINE, Web Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library (CENTRAL), Epistemonikos databases searched identify all published...
The effects of post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) syndrome on the cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness in older people are utmost relevance. This study aimed to evaluate a 12-week telerehabilitation programme body composition patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome.

Oxygen uptake slow component the efficiency of resistance exercises. J Strength Cond Res 35(4): 1014-1022, 2021-This study aimed to evaluate oxygen (V̇o2sc) mechanical economy/efficiency in half squat (HS) exercise during constant-load tests conducted at lactate threshold (LT) intensity. Nineteen healthy young men...
There is a lack of evidence about the ventilatory efficiency in resistance exercises despite key role played endurance exercises. This study aimed to compare cardiorespiratory, metabolic responses and between half-squat (HS) cycle ergometer during constant-load test at lactate threshold (LT) intensity. Eighteen healthy male participants were randomly assigned crossover design carry out HS or tests. For three tests, one repetition maximum (1RM) was performed first determine load (kg)...
Background Acute beetroot juice (BJ) intake has shown to enhance aerobic and anaerobic performance. However, no studies have evaluated the effects of BJ on CrossFit (CF) performance by linking hormonal, metabolic, mechanical responses. The purpose this study was determine causal physiological association between metabolic responses, CF workouts after acute intake.Methods Twelve well-trained male practitioners undertook a workout drinking 140 mL (~ 12.8 mmol NO3 −) or placebo. two...
