In most developed countries, children’s use of digital media has increased significantly. Concerns about how screen time (ST) affects physical activity (PA), sleep patterns (SL), and overall health habits have prompted further exploration of these associations. This study examined ST, PA, and SL patterns in children aged 3–7 years living in an urba...

Introduction:
Nowadays, obesity is one of the main causes of death and disability. In recent years, it has been shown that the excess and distribution of body fat increases morbidity, with excess visceral fat being the most important factor that triggers pathologies. Thus, estimation of visceral fat makes it possible to identify patients with a hi...
Self-myofascial release can facilitate the diminution or disappearance of the intense pain perceived by the nerve endings located in the myofascial tissue. According to some researchers, fibromyalgia (FM) can be directly related to the "central sensitization" theory. The present study aims to determine the effectiveness of the application of a self...

Foam rolling produced recovery from damage induced by notexin, reducing cell death by decreasing Cytochrome c, Smack/Diablo and AIF protein expressions. Also, reduction in NFκB and increment in PPAR-γ demonstrated a decrease in cell inflammation. VEGF increased by foam roller application demonstrated a recovery of muscle vascular system. These resu...
The global rate of obesity in childhood is becoming an epidemic and many authors have established a significant association between childhood obesity and overweight in adulthood.
