Nutrition education has a positive impact on nutritional knowledge, food consumption and body composition in PLHIV: A randomized clinical trial
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has substantially increased the life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLHIV), but its prolonged use has been associated with metabolic alterations that may negatively affect nutritional status. In this context, knowledge about food and nutrition plays a crucial role in promoting healthy food choices and preventing health complications. This study aimed to assess the impact of an intervention with Nutrition educat…
Enhancement of a Mathematical Model for Predicting Puberty Stage in Boys: A Cross‐Sectional Study
Background Previously, we developed a mathematical model capable of predicting pubertal development (PD) through seven anthropometric variables, with an accuracy of 75%. We believe that it is possible to develop a similar model that uses fewer anthropometric measurements and provides greater precision. Objective Develop a mathematical model capable of predicting PD through anthropometric variables. Methods We evaluated the anthropometric profile …
Performance of international growth references to assess nutritional status in a sample of adolescents from Northeastern Brazil
This study aimed to assess the obesity diagnostic accuracy based on body fat mass (FM) in a sample of adolescents from northeastern Brazil, and to compare their nutritional status classified by the height and body mass index (BMI) references from the World Health Organization (WHO/2007), Centers for Disease Control And Prevention (CDC/2000), International Obesity Task Force (IOTF/2012), Brazil (2006) and MULT (2023). We selected 256 adolescents (…
The effect of repeated sprints on immunological modulation and the role of fat-free mass, biological maturation and dietary inflammatory index in male athletes: A quasi-experimental study with insight…
Background Repeated sprint exercise (RSE) induces inflammation, which may be modulated by fat-free mass (FFM), biological maturation (BM), and dietary patterns, assessed by the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII). Aim To examine the influences of FFM, BM, and DII on cytokine responses to RSE in male athletes. Methods A study with a quasi-experimental approach and cross-sectional design with a sample of 30 male athletes (20-adolescents, 10-adults). B…
Reliability of biological maturation analyses performed by equations predicting skeletal age and peak height velocity with hand and wrist X ‐ray results
BACKGROUND: Hand-wrist radiography is the gold standard for the assessment of skeletal age (SA) and the assignment of biological maturation (BM) status. However, its practical use in the field is questioned, prompting the development of anthropometric equations to estimate BM. However, there is no consensus on the reliability of these equations in relation to hand-wrist X-rays. OBJECTIVE: To test the reliability of the BM estimated from predictiv…
Effects of Six Weeks of High-Intensity Functional Training on Physical Performance in Participants with Different Training Volumes and Frequencies
High-intensity functional training (HIFT) is characterized by presenting high volumes and training intensities with constantly varied exercises. The aim of this study was to analyze the internal training load and the effects of high-intensity functional training on physical performance in subjects with different training volumes and frequencies. A total of 31 volunteers involved in high-intensity functional training (14 men and 17 women) were div…
Biological Maturation and Hormonal Markers, Relationship to Neuromotor Performance in Female Children
Background : Mechanisms that influence muscle strength can interfere with neuromotor performance and overall health, thus hormone markers and maturation can interact in this process. Objective: The present study aimed to verify the relationship of hormonal markers and biological maturation on neuromotor abilities in young people. Methods : This is a cross-sectional study with 44 female participants (11.5 ± 1.5 years). Hormones were analyzed bioch…
Can the Neuromuscular Performance of Young Athletes Be Influenced by Hormone Levels and Different Stages of Puberty
Biological maturation and hormonal levels can be related to neuromuscular performance, and young people with higher testosterone levels show superior muscle strength in relation to the others
Desempenho psicomotor de escolares com dificuldades de aprendizagem em cálculos
As dificuldades de aprendizagem (DA) apresentam-se como desafio porque dizem respeito a alunos com bom desempenho cognitivo e baixo desempenho escolar, sem razões aparentes, excluída deficiência mental, privações socioeconômicas, perturbação emocional severa ou perda sensorial. Vasta diversidade conceitual inclui teóricos que associam DA com baixo desempenho psicomotor. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se há correlação entre DA em cálculo e …
Quality of life, socioeconomic and clinical factors, and physical exercise in persons living with HIV/Aids
OBJECTIVE To analyze whether socioeconomic and clinical aspects and the aspects of healthy life habits are associated with the quality of life of persons living with HIV/AIDS. METHODS This is a cross-sectional exploratory quantitative research, with 227 persons living with HIV/AIDS, treated at two hospitals of reference between April 2012 and June 2014. We used structured questionnaires to assess socioeconomic aspects (gender, age, education leve…
