This study aimed to investigate the influence of different exercise training modalities [(i) a concurrent based on physical activity recommendation from World Health Organization group (PAR group), (ii) high intensity interval (HIIT and (iii) adding whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS group)] fitness in sedentary middle-aged adults. A total 89 (52.7% women) adults (53.7 ± 5.1 years old) were enrolled FIT-AGING study. Cardiorespiratory was determined by maximum treadmill test using...
Abstract Purpose To investigate the association of meal timing with body composition and cardiometabolic risk factors in young adults. Methods In this cross-sectional study participated 118 adults (82 women; 22 ± 2 years old; BMI: 25.1 4.6 kg/m ). Meal was determined via three non-consecutive 24-h dietary recalls. Sleep outcomes were objectively assessed using accelerometry. The eating window (time between first last caloric intake), midpoint (local time at which ≥ 50% daily calories are...
Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) improves glucose levels; however, whether its timing affects daily glycemic control remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the impact of lifestyle MVPA on in sedentary adults with overweight/obesity and metabolic impairments.
Background: Ageing is associated with sleep pattern changes and body composition changes, which are related to several diseases. Purpose: This study aimed analyse the association between quality an extensive set of parameters (waist-hip ratio, mass index, bone mineral content, density, lean mass, fat percentage, visceral adipose tissue) in sedentary middle-aged adults. We also evaluate whether possible associations accord subjective objective measurements quality. Methods: 74 (39 women)...
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an effective approach to improve physical fitness, but consuming beer, which a regular practice in many physically active individuals, may interfere with these effects. The purposes of this study were investigate the effects 10-week (2 days/week) HIIT program on cardiorespiratory muscle strength and power parameters, also assess possible influence them moderate consumption beer (at least from Monday Friday) or its alcohol equivalent. Methods: Young...
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to investigate the influence of different exercise training modalities on heart rate variability (HRV) in sedentary middle-aged adults; and whether changes health-related outcomes (i.e., body composition cardiometabolic risk) are associated with those hypothetical HRV adults. Methods A total 66 adults (53.6 ± 4.4 years old; 50% women) were enrolled FIT-AGEING study. We conducted a 12-week randomized controlled trial. The participants randomly assigned 4...
It is currently unknown the most effective potentiation protocol to increase maximum strength. Hence, we investigated separated and combined effects of post-tetanic (PTP) induced by whole-body electrostimulation (WB-EMS) post-activation (PAP) voluntary isometric contractions on Ten trained males were randomly evaluated four occasions. In session A, strength (split squat) was measured in minutes 1, 4, 8. B, measurements taken 2, 6, 10. C, a WB-EMS applied elicit PTP performed D, same No...
Sleep quality plays an important role in the modulation of several aging markers. This influence could be explained by aging-induced hormonal changes. Indeed, poor sleep has been associated with development endocrine-related health complications. study examined relationship both subjective and objective quantity quality, basal levels selected plasma anabolic catabolic hormones sedentary middle-aged adults. A total 74 volunteers (52.7% women; aged 53.7 ± 5.1) were recruited for this study....
This study aimed to investigate the effects of different exercise training programs on fasting plasma levels oxylipins, endocannabinoids (eCBs), and eCBs-like molecules in middle-aged sedentary adults. A 12-week randomized controlled trial was conducted using a parallel group design. Sixty-five adults (40–65 years old) were randomly assigned to: (a) no (control group), (b) concurrent based international physical activity recommendations (PAR (c) high-intensity interval (HIIT (d) HIIT...
Accomplishing a high day-to-day reproducibility is important to detect changes in resting metabolic rate (RMR) and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) that may be produced after an intervention or for monitoring patients' metabolism over time. We aimed analyze: (i) the influence of different methods selecting indirect calorimetry data on RMR RER assessments; and, (ii) whether these reproducibility.Twenty-eight young adults accomplished 4 consecutive assessments (30-min each), using Q-NRG...
The effects of the different electrical frequencies whole-body stimulation (WB-EMS) on energy expenditure (EE) and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) remain poorly understood. This study aimed to determine WB-EMS EE RER during supine resting uphill walking. A total 10 healthy recreationally active men (21.6 ± 3.3 years old) participated in present study. Participants completed two testing sessions a randomized order. In each session, variety impulse (1 hertz (Hz), 2 Hz, 4 6 8 Hz) were applied...
To investigate the feasibility and acceptability of three different 8h time-restricted eating (TRE) schedules (i.e., early TRE, late self-selected TRE) over 4 weeks in adults with overweight/obesity from southern Spain. A total 22 a baseline window ≥12h (13 women; 48 ± 10 years old; body mass index: 32.7 5.8 kg/m2) were randomly assigned to one 8h-TRE schedules: TRE (first meal within first 2h after waking up), 5–7h (self-selected window). Feasibility assessed by adherence intervention,...
Abstract Predictive equations are widely employed for estimating the volume of oxygen consumption (VO 2 ) while walking, which is ultimately to determine energy expenditure and tailor exercise prescription. This study aimed test agreement between measured VO estimated during a walking protocol on treadmill at 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 km/h. Thirty‐eight young adults (50% women) participated in this cross‐sectional study. The Omnical (Maastricht Instruments, Maastricht, Netherlands) K5 (Cosmed,...
