Testing the Multiple Pathways of Residential Greenness to Pregnancy Outcomes Model in a Sample of Pregnant Women in the Metropolitan Area of Donostia-San Sebastián
(MDPI, 2020-06-23)
Residential greenness may positively impact diverse human health indicators through the reduction of air pollution, the improvement of psychological health, and the promotion of physical activity. Previous studies indicate ...
The relative age effect in young athletes: a countywide analysis of 9–14-year-old participants in all competitive sports
(Public Library of Science, 2021-07-16)
[EN] The relative age effect (RAE) has primarily been investigated in male athletes involved in
popular sports and high-level competitions. However, occurrence of RAE in other types of
sports at the grassroots level, ...
Obesity Parameters, Physical Activity, And Physical Fitness are Correlated With Serum Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV Activity In A Healthy Population
(Elsevier, 2018-05)
Objective: To determine whether obesity, physical fitness, and physical activity parameters are associated with the enzymatic activity of serum dipeptidyl peptidase IV (sDPPIV) in a sample of healthy women and men.
Design ...
Survival of Frail Elderly with Delirium
(MDPI, 2022-02-16)
This study aims to determine when frailty increases the risks of delirium mortality. Hospital patients falling into the elderly frail or pre-frail category were recruited, some without delirium, some with delirium at ...
Effects of Resistance Training Intervention along with Leucine-Enriched Whey Protein Supplementation on Sarcopenia and Frailty in Post-Hospitalized Older Adults: Preliminary Findings of a Randomized Controlled Trial
(MDPI, 2021-12-24)
Resistance training and protein supplementation are expected to exert the greatest effect in counteracting muscle-wasting conditions. Myokines might play a key role, but this remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study ...
Physical activity and fitness are associated with verbal memory, quality of life and depression among nursing home residents: preliminary data of a randomized controlled trial
(Biomed Central, 2018-03-27)
Background: Few studies have simultaneously examined changes in physical, cognitive and emotional performance throughout the aging process.

Effectiveness of a multicomponent exercise program in the attenuation of frailty in long-term nursing home residents: study protocol for a randomized clinical controlled trial
(Biomed Central, 2017-02-23)
Background: There is increasing evidence suggesting that cognition and physical frailty interact within a cycle of decline associated with aging which has been called cognitive frailty. Exercise programs have demonstrated ...
Physical Activity, Physical Fitness, Body Composition, And Nutrition Are Associated With Bone Status In University Students
(MDPI, 2018-01-10)
Understanding the modifiable factors that improve and maximize peak bone mass at an early age is necessary to design more effective intervention programs to prevent osteoporosis. To identify these modifiable factors, we ...
Bone Health and Its Relationship with Impact Loading and the Continuity of Physical Activity throughout School Periods
(MDPI, 2019-08-14)
Bone is influenced by physical activity (PA) throughout life, but childhood and adolescence provide a key opportunity to maximize peak bone mass. Thus, it is important to identify the relationship between PA practiced in ...
A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol to Test The Efficacy of a Dual-TaskMulticomponent Exercise Program in the Attenuation of Frailty in Long-Term Nursing Home Residents: Aging-ONDUAL-TASK Study
(Springer Nature, 2019-01-08)
BACKGROUND: The purpose of the Aging-ONDUAL-TASK study is to determine if a supervised dual-task program carried out in long-term nursing homes is able to attenuate frailty in a greater extent than the same multicomponent ...
