Unlabelled: The COVID-19 pandemic reduced daily physical activity in the pediatric population, with deleterious effects on anthropometry, muscle function, aerobic capacity, and metabolic control.
Objective: Determine the changes in anthropometry, aerobic capacity, muscle function, and metabolic control of a 12-week concurrent training protocol in overweight and obese children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Patients And Method: 24 patients participated and were divided into groups once a week (12S; n = 10) and twice a week (24S; n = 14).
Objective: To determine the changes in a planned concurrent exercise protocol in overweight and obese children and adolescents who attend a cardiometabolic rehabilitation program at the Dr. Exequiel González Cortés hospital.
Patients And Method: 32 patients were divided into two groups, the intervention group (INT) (n = 22; age: 12.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared the effects of eccentric cycling (ECC) and conventional concentric cycling (CONC) on patients with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) focusing on muscle function, body composition, and quality of life over 12 weeks.
- Results showed that ECC led to significantly higher workloads and improvements in lower limb muscle mass, while both training methods improved mobility and quality of life, but ECC had greater effects on rate of force development and functional tests.
- The findings indicate that ECC training is more effective in enhancing functional performance while placing less strain on the cardiovascular system compared to CONC training for COPD patients.
