Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease which affects young adults at a time of maximum personal, professional and social growth. Recent guidelines on physical activity have established that exercise is an essential component of the clinical management of people with MS with mild or moderate degree of disability. The main purpose...
Epidemiologic studies suggest that patients with breast cancer who gain weight after diagnosis have a higher risk of recurrence and death. Regular physical exercise can help minimize post-diagnosis weight gain. The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of a physical test for individualizing the workloads used during a fitness progr...
OBJECTIVE:
Our purpose was to study the effects of aerobic, resistance, and mixed (aerobic and resistance) training programs on blood pressure, both at rest and during submaximal exercise in healthy people.
METHODS:
We randomized 39 physically active, healthy participants into aerobic, resistance, and mixed (aerobic and resistance) exercise groups,...
Background:
Physical exercise can be part of treatment in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), where the aim would be to improve strength and endurance through increasing physical exercise (intensity and time) without aggravating symptomatology. The present study examines the effectiveness of a reconditioning programme (focusing on streng...
This study assessed changes in quality of life (QoL) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) during a diet and physical activity (PA) intervention in breast cancer (BC) survivors and investigated the relation between these changes. The intervention of this single-arm pre-post study involved supervised, 1-hour weekly, diet sessions and 75-minute bi-week...

Background:
Circulating progenitor cells (CPC) treatments may have great potential for the recovery of neurons and brain function.
Objective:
To increase and maintain CPC with a program of exercise, muscle electro-stimulation (ME) and/or intermittent-hypobaric-hypoxia (IHH), and also to study the possible improvement in physical or psychological...
OBJETIVE: Our purpose was to study the effects of aerobic, resistance, and mixed (aerobic and resistance) training programs on blood pressure, both at rest and during submaximal exercise in healthy people.
METHODS: We randomized 39 physically active, healthy participants into aerobic, resistance, and mixed (aerobic and resistance) exercise groups,...
Energy restriction from a low-calorie diet and increased energy expenditure induced by physical activity (PA) could promote weight loss/maintenance and be important determinants of breast cancer (BC) prognosis. The aim of this study was to assess participation and adherence of overweight and obese BC survivors to a lifestyle intervention and to dem...
Given the benefits that exercise brings to physical and mental health, several authors have investigated its effectiveness as a treatment for various pathologies such as addictive disorders. The aim of this paper is to review the literature regarding the effectiveness of exercise as a complementary intervention for treatment of psychoactive substan...
Dados los beneficios que aporta el ejercicio fisico sobre la salud fisica y mental, varios autores han explorado la efectividad del mismo como tratamiento en diversas patologias, entre ellas los trastornos adictivos. El objetivo de este articulo fue revisar la literatura existente sobre la efectividad del ejercicio fisico como intervencion coadyuva...
The quality of dyadic adjustment is likely to play an important role in patients' relational problems and may also be associated with the clinical presentation of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) symptoms. The objective of this study was (1) to determine whether CFS patients and their partners have similar perceptions of their dyadic adjustment and (...
Little has been reported regarding the effects of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) on the partner. The purpose of this study was to determine and quantify the existence of a relationship between the patient's functional capacity and psychological aspects of the partner. The sample consisted of 32 female CFS patients and their partners. Psychological...
Aim. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between psychological aspects and functional capacity in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), determining the importance of these aspects so as to provide specific information for clinical interventions. Methods. The sample comprised 40 female CFS patients. The State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the...
To evaluate the influence of dance movement therapy (DMT) on the perception of well-being and functional capacity in women with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Previous studies have analysed the effects of DMT in fibromyalgia but not specifically in CFS. Seven women diagnosed with CFS attended a 4-month DMT program. All of them performed a maximal...
IntroductionThe aim of the study was to evaluate the cardiorespiratory parameters at rest and and as the response to very low intensity physical exercise in women with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a disabling illness of unknown etiology that is characterized by fatigue associated with a reduced ability to work, lasting for more than 6 months, and accompanied by a specific set of symptoms. The diagnosis remains difficult because of the absence of laboratory tests and is, therefore, made largely on the basis o...
