Symptoms of Sarcopenia and Physical Fitness through the Senior Fitness Test
Lima, Alex Barreto de; Baptista, Fátima; Henriques-Neto, Duarte; Pinto, André de Araújo; Gouveia, Élvio Rúbiot: Introduction: Physical fitness concerns a set of attributes related to the ability to perform physical activity that may justify the symptoms reported by the elderly in the context of sarcopenia. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the perception (symptomatology) of physical functioning (what the person thinks they are capable of) and the capacity itself for physical functioni...
Longitudinal association between grip strength and the risk of heart diseases a...
Peralta, Miguel; Dias, Carlos Matias; Marques, Adilson; Henriques-Neto, Duarte; Sousa-Uva, MafaldaBackground: Few multi-country European studies have investigated the association between grip strength and heart diseases incidence. Thus, the aim of this study is to analyse the longitudinal relationship between grip strength and the diagnosis of heart diseases in European middle-aged and older adults. Method: A prospective cohort study was conducted using data from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement i...

Peralta, Miguel; Matias Dias, Carlos; Marques, Adilson; Henriques-Neto, Duarte; Sousa Uva, MafaldaBackground and objective(s): The association between grip strength and heart diseases incidence has been little explored. The aim of this study is to analyse the longitudinal relationship between grip strength and the diagnosis of heart diseases in European middle-aged and older adults. Material and methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in ...

Muscle Weakness and Walking Slowness for the Identification of Sarcopenia in th...
Lima, Alex Barreto de; Henriques-Neto, Duarte; Ribeiro, Gustavo dos Santos; Gouveia, Élvio Rúbio; Baptista, FátimaBackground: This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of sarcopenia in elderly people from Northern Brazil according to muscle weakness or walking slowness. Methods: The sample consisted of 312 elderly people (72.6 ± 7.8 years). For walking slowness, a gait speed ≤ 0.8 m/s was used as a cut-off value, and for muscle weakness the following handgrip strength criteria were used for men and women, respectively: CI...
A combined training program's effect on anthropometry, body composition, physic...
Sá, Mário; Santos, Teresa; Afonso, José; Peralta, Miguel; Henriques-Neto, Duarte; Marques, AdilsonBackground: Combined training (CT) simultaneously associates aerobic and strength exercises. Worldwide, studies on CT´s on Police officers' physical fitness are scarce. This study aims to measure a 4-month CT program's impact in the Close Protection Unit of the Portuguese Elite Police. Methods: A pre-and post-test study included 32 participants (mean age 30.1±2.7 years old). Anthropometry, body composition, phy...
A Systematic Review of the Association Between Muscular Fitness and Telomere Le...
Marques, Adilson; Peralta, Miguel; Marconcin, Priscila; Henriques-Neto, Duarte; Gouveia, Elvio Rúbio; Ferrari, Gerson; Martins, João; Sarmento, HugoThis study aimed to systematically review the association between telomere length (TL) and muscular fitness. In October 2020, an articles search was applied to PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Eligibility criteria included: cross-sectional, prospective, and experimental study design; outcomes included TL; results expressed the relationship between muscular fitness and TL; studies published in English, Portug...

Exploring grip strength as a predictor of depression in middle-aged and older a...
Marques, Adilson; Henriques-Neto, Duarte; Peralta, Miguel; Marconcin, Priscila; Gouveia, Élvio R.; Ferrari, Gerson; Martins, João; Ihle, AndreasGrip strength (GS) is an indicator of health and vulnerability and inversely associated with depressive symptoms. The aim of this study was to explore GS discrimination capacity for depression; and possible GS cut-of values for depression by sex and age group. Data from 2011 and 2015 on 20,598 (10,416 women) middle-aged and older adults from 14 European countries was analysed. GS was assessed by dynamometer, an...
Field-based health-related physical fitness tests in children and adolescents :...
Marques, Adilson; Henriques-Neto, Duarte; Peralta, Miguel; Martins, João; Gomes, Fernando; Popovic, Stevo; Masanovic, Bojan; Demetriou, YolandaPhysical fitness (PF) is a multi-component construct and a biomarker of health. Worse PF is related to vulnerability and predicts worse academic achievements. Thus, assessing PF is important to monitor health in youth. This systematic review aimed to identify and inform physical education, health professionals and entities about existing PF batteries and field-tests that can be used in school settings. A compre...
