Adherence to treatment, a public health issue, is of particular importance in chronic disease therapies. Primary care practices offer ideal venues for the effective and management these conditions. The aim this study assess adherence treatment related-factors among patients with conditions primary settings.A cross-sectional was conducted 299 adult ≥1 condition(s) prescribed medication healthcare centers Spain. Morisky-Green-Levine questionnaire used via face-to-face interviews. Crude...

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) could induce oxidative damage at long distance from its generation site and it is also an important signalling molecule that induces some genes related to stress. Our objective was study the plasma blood cells capability detoxify H2O2 after intense exercise correlation with damage. Blood samples were taken nine professional cycling, participating in a mountain stage, under basal conditions 3 h competition. Catalase glutathione peroxidase activities decreased (40 50%...

Abstract The aims of this study were to measure the aerodynamic drag in professional cyclists, obtain reference values static and effort positions, improve cyclists' by modifying their position cycle equipment, evaluate advantages disadvantages these modifications. was performed a wind tunnel with five cyclists. Four positions assessed time-trial bike one standard racing bike. In all kinematic variables recorded. area for 31% higher than position, lower Changes decreased 14%. aero-helmet not...

The Z-disk protein α-actinin-3 is only expressed in type II muscle fibres, which are responsible for generating forceful contractions at high velocity. Despite the evolutionary conservation of α-actinin-3, approximately one every five Caucasians European ancestry totally deficient this protein, due to homozygosity a R577X polymorphism ACTN3 gene. This, together with results recent research on elite athletes, suggests that "null" XX might confer some advantage endurance performance events. To...

Purpose Supplementation with inorganic nitrate has been suggested to be an ergogenic aid for athletes as nitric oxide donor. The purpose of this study was determine whether ingestion sodium benefits well-trained performing a 40-min exercise test in laboratory conditions. In addition, we investigated the effect supplement on plasma levels endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitrated proteins. Methods Thirteen trained participated randomized, double-blind, crossover study. They performed cycle ergometer...

Seventeen volunteer male professional cyclists were randomly assigned to control or supplemented (6 g L-citrulline-malate) groups and participated in a cycling stage. Blood samples taken basal conditions, after the race 3 h post-race. Citrulline supplementation significantly increased plasma concentration of both arginine citrulline stage only group. Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) from controls responded exercise with progressive decrease ROS production. Supplemented PMNs production...

Exercise-induced muscle damage results in decreased physical performance that is accompanied by an inflammatory response tissue. The inflammation process occurs with the infiltration of phagocytes (neutrophils and macrophages) play a key role repair regeneration In this context, high intensity or long-lasting exercise breakdown cell structures. removal cellular debris performed infiltrated phagocytes, but release free radicals as collateral products. L-carnitine metabolite energy metabolism,...

In this paper, we examine the association between polymorphisms of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and muscle-specific creatine kinase (CKMM) genes, actual performance status observed in professional cyclists capable completing a classic tour stage race such as Giro d'Italia, Tour de France, or Vuelta España. To accomplish this, compared frequencies ACE CKMM genotypes/alleles 50 top-level Spanish that have completed at least one these events to 119 sedentary controls, 27 elite...
