Effects of online vs. face-to-face exercise programs on body composition parame...
Bilro, Vitor; Duarte Martins, Alexandre; Batalha, Nuno; Parraca, Jose A.; Varela-Silva, InêsIntroduction: The case study aims to assess and compare the effects of a 12-week exercise program delivered online versus in-person on body composition parameters in three Portuguese adult women with obesity. Methods: The study included three adult women with grade II obesity (age, 46 ± 7.81 years; BMI, 35.93 ± 0.75kg/m2). Perimeter and height measurements were collected with a tape measure and stadiometer to t...
Phase angle is related with physical function in older adults: a cross sectiona...
Duarte Martins, Alexandre; Paulo Brito, João; Batalha, Nuno; Oliveira, Rafael; Bilro, Vitor; Fernandes, OrlandoThis study aimed to verify a relationship between phase angle (PhA) with physical function in older adults. We also intend to analyse the ability of PhA to predict physical function after adjusting for poten-tial confounders. This cross-sectional study included fifty-six physically independent older adults (age, 70.57 ± 3.79 years; BMI, 28.09 ± 4.37 kg/m2). Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to measure P...
Effects of a sixteen-weeks high-speed resistance training program on bone miner...
Duarte Martins, Alexandre; Batalha, Nuno; Fernandes, Orlando; Bilro, Vitor; Raimundo, Armando; Paulo Brito, JoaoIntroduction The United Nations estimates 1.5 billion people aged over 65 years in 2025, compared with 703 million in 2019 (1). Unfortunately, the aging process involves the development of many chronic diseases, namely osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue (2). Reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) with age in...

Martins, Alexandre Duarte; Fernandes, Orlando; Oliveira, Rafael; Bilro, Vitor; Lopes, Gabriel; Rego, António Maia; Parraça, José A.The purpose of this study was to calculate the effects of exercise programs on phase angle (PhA) in older people. A systematic review was undertaken in multiple electronic databases in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses statement guidelines for the purposes of selecting randomized controlled trials that measured the effects of the exercise programs on PhA in o...
