Introduction:
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a marker of cardiovascular morbidity, causing disability, loss of mobility and poor quality of life, manifesting clinically in the form of intermittent claudication (IC). Physical exercise increases the distance walked and improves quality of life. The aim of our study will be increased walking di...
The assessment of ventilatory efficiency is critical to understanding the matching of ventilation (VE) and perfusion in the lungs during exercise. This study aimed to establish a causal physiological relationship between ventilatory efficiency and resistance exercise performance after beetroot juice (BJ) intake. Eleven well-trained males performed...

Background
Acute beetroot juice (BJ) intake has shown to enhance aerobic and anaerobic performance. However, no studies have evaluated the effects of BJ intake on CrossFit (CF) performance by linking hormonal, metabolic, and mechanical responses. The purpose of this study was to determine the causal physiological association between hormonal, metab...

Introduction
There is a lack of information regarding the slow component of oxygen uptake (VO2sc) and efficiency/economy in resistance exercises despite the crucial role played in endurance performance.
Purpose
this study aimed to compare the VO2sc, efficiency/economy, metabolic, cardiorespiratory responses, rating of perceived effort and mechanic...
Objective:
Evaluate cardiac, metabolic, and ventilatory changes during a training session with whole-body vibration training (WBVT) with 3 different frequencies in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Methods:
This was a prospective, interventional trial in outpatients with severe COPD. Participants performed 3 vertical WB...

Oxygen uptake slow component and the efficiency of resistance exercises. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2018-This study aimed to evaluate oxygen uptake slow component...
Study design:
Cross-sectional study.
Objectives:
The main goal of this study was to examine the influence of regular physical activity (PA) on lung volumes and flows.
Setting:
The study was conducted in the Vall d'Hebrón Hospital, Barcelona (Spain), and La Fe Hospital, Valencia (Spain).
Methods:
Spirometric tests were performed to 67 paraple...
Purpose:
It was supposed that the difficulty of postural tasks accentuates the effects of fatigue on postural stability. The aim of this work was to compare the effects of fatiguing running on three different postural conditions presenting different levels of difficulty: a standing still position with the eyes open (EO condition), a standing still...
Study design:
Cross-sectional study.
Objectives:
The main goal of our study was to explore the differences in heart rate variability (HRV) while sitting between able-bodied (AB) participants and paraplegic (P) individuals.
Setting:
The study was conducted in the Physical Therapy department and the Physical Education and Sports department of th...
The main aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between the amount of physical activity and academic performance in 3rd-year secondary education students. The sample was taken from three secondary schools in the area of Barcelona. 284 students (158 girls, 126 boys) with an average age of 14.7 yr. participated. The International Physical...
To determine changes occurring in the cross-sectional area, electromyography (EMG) activity, and the strength of the biceps brachii after an 8-week period of bilateral training with surface muscle electrical stimulation in patients with hemophilic arthropathy.
Controlled trial.
Coagulopathy unit, university hospital.
Volunteer subjects (N=30) parti...
In haemophiliacs, the physical condition, muscular strength, aerobic resistance, anaerobic resistance and proprioception have all diminished. Muscle atrophy and instability, being more vulnerable to stressful motor demands, increase the risk of lesion and establish a vicious circle that is hard to break: pain, immobility, atrophy, articular instabi...
Thirty-six adult men were randomly assigned to a remote stimulation group (RS; n = 18) or control group (CTL; n = 18). The RS group unilaterally performed a 10-minute surface electrical stimulation program (frequency 100 Hz, impulse 300 micros, 10 seconds on/10 seconds off) on the rectus femoris of the non-dominant leg. The subjects of the CTL grou...
In the general population, the degenerative processes in joints are directly related to adult age, and osteoarthrosis represents the most frequent musculoskeletal alteration. In the haemophilic patient, the degenerative processes in the joint begin at very early ages, and are directly related to musculoskeletal bleeding episodes, which are occasion...
Eighteen sessions of surface electrical stimulation was applied to the quadriceps femoris of the left leg of ten male subjects affected by severe haemophilia A, while ten healthy subjects constituted the control group. The isometric strength, the electromyographic activity and the diameter of the rectus femoris were measured in both legs before and...
The principal aim of this study was quantify the changes produced in the cross-sectional section of the rectus femoris of the quadriceps femoris, in patients affected of haemophilia A, after a treatment of muscular electrical stimulation (EEM).Twelve men affected of haemophilia A clinically serious, took part in the present investigation, being put...
