Effects of combined aerobic-resistance training on health-related quality of li...
Fernanda M. Silva; Ferreira, José P.; Teixeira, Ana M.; Massart, Alain; Duarte-Mendes, PedroIntroduction: Poor quality of life and psychological stress have been associated with worse clinical outcomes, including anxiety and depression disorders, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and premature mortality. Evidence suggested that physically active adults were more likely to report better quality of life and increased capacity to deal with stress, compared to their sedentary p...
Changes in metabolic and inflammatory markers after a combined exercise program...
Silva, Fernanda; Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Ferreira, José P.; Carvalho, Eugénia; Monteiro, Diogo; Massart, Alain; Farinha, Carlos; Soares, Carlos M.Purpose: We investigated the effects of a 16-week combined exercise training on body composition, metabolic and inflammatory markers in sedentary middle-aged workers. We also assessed whether significant alterations in metabolic markers were associated with changes in health-related outcomes. Methods: This randomized controlled trial involved 46 participants randomly allocated into control and exercise groups. ...
Empowering frail older adults: multicomponent elastic-band exercises and BCAA s...
Caldo, Adriana; Furtado, Guilherme E.; Chupel, Matheus U.; Letieri, Rubens Vinícius; Neves, Rafael Santos; Direto, Fábio; Barros, Marcelo P.The effectiveness of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) supplementation on enhancing exercise performance in both young and older adults remains a topic of debate. Recent research suggests that BCAAs combined with regular exercise might have an impact on human erythropoiesis, blood dynamics, and iron homeostasis. Given the increasing longevity of the global population, it is crucial to investigate the potential...
Effects of combined training during the COVID-19 pandemic on metabolic health a...
Silva, Fernanda M.; Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Carvalho, Eugénia; Soares, Carlos M.; Farinha, Carlos; Serrano, João; Paulo, Rui; Massart, AlainThis study aimed to analyze the effects of a combined training (CT) program performed during the first national lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic on body composition, metabolic profile, quality of life and stress in sedentary workers, and examines whether changes in the metabolic profile are associated with changes in health-related outcomes which are modifiable by exercise. We evaluated 31 sedentary worker...
Effect of Training-Detraining Phases of Multicomponent Exercises and BCAA Suppl...
Caldo-Silva, Adriana; Furtado, Guilherme Eustáquio; Chupel, Matheus Uba; Bachi, André L. L.; de Barros, Marcelo P.; Neves, Rafael S.; Marzetti, EmanueleNowadays, it is accepted that the regular practice of exercise and branched-chain amino acids supplementation (BCAAs) can benefit the immune responses in older persons, prevent the occurrence of physical frailty (PF), cognitive decline, and aging-related comorbidities. However, the impact of their combination (as non-pharmacological interventions) in albumin and the inflammatory markers is not fully understood....
