The objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess physical activity in relation to factors predisposing to the occurrence of specific metabolic disorders among Polish nurses. The measurements included physica…
Effect of diet on cardiovascular health‐related circulating parameters in men and women athletes participating in a marathon race
OBJECTIVES: The main objective of this study is to understand how diet affects performance and cardiovascular health in a group of women participating in a demanding aerobic race such as marathon, compared to men. METHODS: Fifteen women participating in the Barcelona Marathon-2016 were recruited to participate in the study. A group of men (n = 15) that performed the same marathon race was selected.

Acute Effects of Work Rest Interval Duration of 3 Hiit Protocols on Cycling Power in Trained Young Adults
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is described as a succession of short duration and maximum or near-maximum intensity efforts, alternated by recovery periods during which exercise continues at a lower intensity (active recovery) or is interrupted (passive recovery). Our objective was to evaluate the acute responses of three HIIT protocols of different work/rest interval times over the total time of the session, with self-selectable load an…
Effects of Plyometric Jump Training in Sand or Rigid Surface on Jump-Related Biomechanical Variables and Physical Fitness in Female Volleyball Players
The type of surface used during PJT induced specific adaptations in terms of jump-related biomechanical variables and physical fitness in female indoor volleyball players. Based on the individual needs of the athletes, practitioners may prescribe one type of surface preferentially over another to maximize the benefits derived from PJT
Characterization of the resilience and exercise dependence athlete
Resilience and exercise dependence are constructs studied in the athlete at different sport levels. The aim of this study is to know risk exercise dependence and resilience prevalence in athletes; analyze the differences according to sex and sport level (amateur / elite). Also, analyze relationship. 387 athletes of different modalities were evaluated, 281 males and 106 females (age: M = 20.10, SD = 4.2). Spanish version of the Dependency Scale of…
Effects of Manual Therapy on Fatigue, Pain, and Psychological Aspects in Women with Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a condition characterised by chronic widespread muscle pain and fatigue, sleep disturbances, cognitive disorders, and mood disturbance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a manual therapy technique performed with moderate digital pressure in women with fibromyalgia ( n = 24). In this randomised, controlled trial, the participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group or placebo group. The ex…
Psychological and Sleep Effects of Tryptophan and Magnesium-Enriched Mediterranean Diet in Women with Fibromyalgia
Anxiety, mood disturbance, eating and sleep disorders, and dissatisfaction with body image are prevalent disorders in women with fibromyalgia. The authors of this study aimed to determine the effects of tryptophan (TRY) and magnesium-enriched (MG) Mediterranean diet on psychological variables (trait anxiety, mood state, eating disorders, self-image perception) and sleep quality in women with fibromyalgia ( n = 22; 49 ± 5 years old). In this rando…
Dietary and nutritional approach to do the Rioja Bike Race
