Results Goalball athletes showed a significantly lower all-out lactate concentration than judo athletes (2.80±0.33/9.18±1.18, P< 0.05). Goalball athletes showed a significantly lower rate of fatigue than judo athletes in the upper body (58.1±1.61, P< 0.05), while judo athletes  …

Background: The influence of ketogenic diet on physical fitness remains controversial. We performed a randomized controlled trial to compare the effect of cyclical ketogenic reduction diet (CKD) vs. nutritionally balanced reduction diet (RD) on body composition, muscle strength, and endurance performance.(2) Methods: 25 healthy young males undergoing regular resistance training combined with aerobic training were randomized to CKD (n= 13) or RD (n= 12). Body composition, muscle strength and spiroergometric parameters were …

We investigated the associations of motor competence (MC) with peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak), peak power output (Wmax), and body fat percentage (BF%) and whether measures of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) modify the associations between MC and BF%. Altogether, 35 children (aged 7‐11 years) in the CHIPASE Study and 297 in PANIC Study (aged 9‐11 years) participated in the study. MC was assessed using KTK and modified Eurofit tests. V̇O2peak and Wmax were measured by maximal exercise test on a cycle …

Purpose To investigate the associations of cardiorespiratory fitness, adiposity, and arterial stiffness with cognition in 16‐to 19‐year‐old adolescents. Methods Fifty four adolescents (35 girls; 19 boys) participated in the study. Peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak) and peak power output (Wmax) were measured by the maximal ramp test on a cycle ergometer and ventilatory threshold (VT) was determined with ventilation equivalents. Lean mass (LM) and body fat percentage (BF%) were measured using a bioelectrical impedance analysis. Aortic …

Background The association between the Metabolically Healthy Obese (MHO) phenotype in the absence of metabolic syndrome and subsequent cardiovascular disease remains unclear. Objectives We examined the association between MHO and CVD risk in young Iranian women. Methods We studied 183 women aged 20-35 years from a population of 308 candidates. We classified participants into 4 phenotypes. We measured body composition, blood pressure, and biochemical factors in all participants. Results The Metabolically …

The associations between physical activity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) have been mainly found in cross-sectional studies. The aim of this longitudinal study was to examine the relationship between meeting step-based guidelines and changes in the risk of metabolic syndrome. This study included data from older women (baseline age 62.9±4.3 years) from a 7-year longitudinal study in Central Europe. At baseline and follow-up, physical activity was measured by an accelerometer, and the risk for MetS was assessed …

Several factors predispose individuals with epilepsy to chronic diseases. Among them, nutrition and lifestyle factors have not been sufficiently studied. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate patients with epilepsy in terms of diet, body composition and physical activity compared to healthy sex-and age-matched subjects to investigate whether there are risk factors for nutritional deficiencies and risk factors for the development of metabolic diseases. The case-control study involved 60 epileptic male and female volunteers and 70 …

Abstract It is estimated that 7.2% of community-dwelling older adults worldwide have major depression. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between geriatric syndromes and depressive symptoms. Data were obtained from the Kaizuka Dementia Prevention Study 2018 and 2019, which was a community-based health check conducted in collaboration with the Osaka Kawasaki Rehabilitation University (Kaizuka City Office) and Cognitive Reserve Research Center in Osaka, Japan. The participants comprised 363 older …

Background: Combined exercise training has proven effective in preventing and treating sleep disorders among obese adults. However, structured progression of intensity in sleep parameters remains poorly investigated within this population. Purpose: To verify the effects of non-periodized and linear periodization combined training on the sleep quality of obese adults. Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial involving adults with body mass index≥ 30 kg/m2, allocated to 3 groups: control (CG; n= 13), non-periodized training (NG; …

ABSTRACT A talent identification index system for male and female cross-country skiers in four age groups (11–12 years old, 13–14 years old, 15–16 years old, and 17–18 years old) was established. The system comprises five body shape indexes (i= 5): Leg-to-Body Ratio (LBR), body fat percentage, maturity status, spreaded brachia index, and upper extremity length. The physiological function indexes (i= 2) are VO2max and haemoglobin mass (Hb). The psychological indexes (i= 5) cover reaction time, perception speed, a quality-of-will …
