The assessment of muscle mechanical properties in multi-joint movements reveals inverse correlation of leg muscle force and pow
Body Composition Assessment | BFM | Dobrijevic et al. | 2020 | Serbia | Gait & Posture
Background The impact that mechanical factors might have on gait reorganization was evaluated by the relationship between muscle mechanical capacity of isolated leg muscle groups and transition speed in previous studies. However, until now there are no studies that explored the relationship between muscle mechanical properties measured in cyclic multi-joint movements and gait transition speed. Research question What is the nature of the relationship between gait transition speed and muscle mechanical capacities measured in …
Dietary Behaviours May Modulate the Association Between Common MC4R Genetic Variants and Obesity and Its Comorbidities: The 100
Body Composition Assessment | BMI, BFM, VFA | Adamska-Patruno et al. | 2020 | Poland | Research square
Abstract Background: The MC4R gene harbours one of the strongest susceptibility locus for obesity, and its metabolic consequences. The objective of this study was to analyze whether dietary factors may attenuate the MC4R genotypes effects on obesity and its comorbidities. Methods: In 819 adult participants, genotyped for MC4R SNPs (rs17782313, rs12970134, rs633265, rs1350341) the anthropometric measurements, total body fat, visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), blood glucose, insulin, total-, LDL-, HDL-cholesterol …
Effects of a Lifestyle-Modification Program on Blood-Glucose Regulation and Health Promotion in Diabetic Patients: A Randomized
Body Composition Assessment | PBF, FFM, BFM | Shin et al. | 2020 | Korea | Journal of Lifestyle Medicine
Background We aimed to investigate the efficacy of the lifestyle intervention (LSI) program in controlling blood glucose regulation and health promotion in type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients. Methods Thirty adults with a diagnosed with diabetes were randomly assigned to LSI and control groups. The LSI group maintained their daily routines after participating twice in the LSI program, while control group maintained 4 weeks of daily life without participating in an intervention. Results HbA1c levels in the LSI group decreased significantly after participation …
Relationship between movement dysfunctions and sports injuries according to gender of youth soccer player
Body Composition Assessment | BW, PBF | Lim et al. | 2020 | Korea | Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation
The purpose of this study is to investigate relationship between movement dysfunctions and sports injuries according to gender of youth soccer player. Thirty-eight middle school soccer players participated in this study and they were divided into male (n= 19) and female (n= 19) groups. The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and the Quadriceps-angle (Q-angle) during single-leg squat were analyzed for identifying imbalance and asymmetry of the body, and sports injury questionnaire was examined for 6 months after FMS test. The number of …
Predictive ability of the International Classification of Sleep Disorders-3 in identifying risk of obstructive sleep apnea amon
Body Composition Assessment | BMI | E. Silva et al. | 2020 | USA | Sleep and Breathing
Abstract Background The International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD)-3 was developed to aid in the identification of these disorders. The core criterion A (ICSD-3A) to identify obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) requires the presentence of specific signs and symptoms. This study explores the predictive ability of the ICSD-3A for OSA as compared with objective measures of respiratory event index (REI). Participants A total of 291 participants who completed a home sleep apnea test (HSAT) during the screening …
Association of objectively measured physical fitness during pregnancy with maternal and neonatal outcomes. The GESTAFIT Project
Body Composition Assessment | BMI | Baena-García et al. | 2020 | Spain | PLOS ONE
Aim To analyse i) the association of physical fitness during early second trimester and late pregnancy with maternal and neonatal outcomes; and ii) to investigate whether physical fitness is associated with the type of birth (vaginal or caesarean section). Methods Pregnant women from the GESTAFIT Project (n= 159) participated in this longitudinal study. Maternal physical fitness including upper-and lower-body strength, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and flexibility were measured through objective physical fitness tests at the 16th and 34th …
Effects of exercise and diet intervention on appetite-regulating hormones associated with miRNAs in obese children
Body Composition Assessment | PBF | Liao et al. | 2020 | China | Eating and Weight Disorders - Studies on Anorexia, Bulimia and Obesity
Aims This study investigated the effects of exercise and diet intervention on appetite-regulating hormones and subjective appetite changes in obese children and examined expressions of specific key microRNAs (miRNA, miR). Methods 16 obese children were included in a training program consisting of exercise and diet intervention for 6 weeks. Before and after the intervention, fasting blood was collected to determine appetite-regulating hormones (leptin, ghrelin, and orexin) and miRNA (miR-103a-3p and miR-200a …
