A supervised home-based exercise program to improve functional performance in w...
Ramos, Pedro G. F.; Júdice, Pedro B.; Valadas, Gabriela; Bento, Alexandra; Nobre, Inês; Rodrigues, Bruno; Carraça, Eliana V.Background:Endocrine therapy's effects may hinder the functional performance and quality of life of women with breast cancer. Physical activity can counteract these effects, but this population does not regularly adopt it. This study aimed to test the impact of a 12-week home-based exercise intervention with a supervised component on the functional performance, quality of life, and physical activity of women wi...
Providing office workers with height-adjustable workstation to reduce and inter...
Júdice, Pedro B.; Silva, Hélio; Teno, Sabrina C.; Monteiro, Patrícia; Silva, Marlene N.; Carraça, Eliana V.; Santos, Inês; Pereira, Sara; Luz, FilipeBackground: Sedentary behavior (SB) has been linked to several negative health outcomes. Therefore, reducing SB or breaking up prolonged periods of SB improves functional fitness, food consumption, job satisfaction, and productivity. Reducing SB can be achieved by introducing a health-enhancing contextual modification promoted by a sit-stand desk in the workplace. The primary goal will be to test the effectiven...

Mediating role of physical fitness and fat mass on the associations between phy...
Henriques-Neto, Duarte; Magalhães, João P.; Júdice, Pedro B.; Hetherington-Rauth, Megan; Peralta, Miguel; Marques, Adilson; Sardinha, Luís B.We aimed to assess if the relationship between VPA and bone health is simultaneously mediated by PF and fat mass in adolescents. Bone health was assessed by quantitative ultrasound (QUS) in 412 participants (221 girls) aged 10–18 years. VPA was assessed by accelerometry and PF was measured using specific protocols from FITescola®. Fat mass (%) was assessed using two skinfolds (triceps and calf). Parallel mediat...
Fitness, physical activity, or sedentary patterns? Integrated analysis with obe...
Henriques-Neto, Duarte; Júdice, Pedro B.; Peralta, Miguel; Sardinha, Luís B.Objective: Physical fitness (PF) and physical activity (PA) are inversely associated with body mass index and waist circumference (WC), whereas sedentary time (ST) seems to boost obesity in youth. The aim was to examine the associations of each selected PF test, PA-related exposures, and specific ST patterns with obesity and determine the most relevant ones, in a large sample of a school-aged adolescent. Method...
Effectiveness of high-intensity interval training combined with resistance trai...
Magalhães, João P.; Júdice, Pedro B.; Ribeiro, Rogério; Andrade, Rita; Raposo, João; Dores, Hélder; Bicho, Manuel; Sardinha, Luís B.Aims: To evaluate the impact of one-year high intensity interval training (HIIT) combined with resistance training (RT) vs continuous moderate intensity training (MCT) combined with RT on glycaemic control, body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled trial included 96 participants with type 2 diabetes for a one-year superv...
