Envelhecer a crescer: Programa de promoção do envelhecimento ativo

Com este livro pretendemos apresentar um Programa de atividades para todas as pessoas que trabalham diretamente com adultos mais velhos. Nele estão descritas as atividades de desenvolvimento pessoal que fomos pondo em prática ao longo do projeto “Envelhecer a Crescer”, dinamizado em três Instituições do mesmo tipo [Estruturas Residenciais para Pessoas Idosas (ERPI)] na Área Metropolitana do Porto de 2010 a 2012...

Pulmonary rehabilitation in minimal versus high resource settings in COPD

Funding Information: This research was supported by FCT - Funda\u00E7\u00E3o para a Ci\u00EAncia e Tecnologia, I.P. by project reference UID 4501- Instituto de Biomedicina - Universidade de Aveiro. Publisher Copyright: © 2025 The Authors; Background: Comparison of results and associated costs of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) conducted with minimal resources (MR) versus specialised centres (SC) for people with c...

Effect of data reduction techniques on daily moderate to vigorous physical acti...

ActiGraph® is a valid, frequently used, accelerometer to quantify moderate to vigorous physical activities (MVPA) in people with COPD. The impact of ActiGraph processing techniques on this population is unknown. This study aimed to explore the effect of data reduction techniques on MVPA in people with COPD. MVPA/day, through ActiGraph GT3X+, was estimated using: Troiano, Freedson 98 and FreedsonVM3 cutoffs, 15-...

Is improving physical activity after pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD left to c...

The ability of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) to modify physical activity (PA) of COPD patients remains controversial. We assessed the impact of PR on PA and explored PA change according to the response in other PR outcomes in COPD patients. Exercise capacity (6MWT, 1minSTS), dyspnoea (mMRC), fatigue (FACIT-F), health-related quality of life (HRQoL, SGRQ), PA (steps/day and time spent in moderate to vigorous PA ...

Determinants of daily steps in people with interstitial lung disease

Physical activity (PA) is reduced in people with interstitial lung disease (ILD) namely their number of steps per day (SPD). Little is, however, known about what may influence SPD, in this population. We aimed to identify the determinants of SPD in people with ILD. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted where sociodemographic data, ILD-subtype (fibrotic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis [fHP], Idiopathi...

Low versus high-resource Pulmonary Rehabilitation settings in COPD: a retrospec...

Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is crucial for the management of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with well-established physical, psychological and social benefts. Access to PR is, however, limited. Implementing PR with minimal resources is being considered to increase its availability. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of this approach is unclear. This study aimed to assess wheth...

Functional Status in People with COPD: A Cluster Analysis with Bootstrap Resamp...

Cut-off of the one-minute sit-to-stand test to detect functional impairment in ...

Introduction The 6-minute walking test (6MWT) is a widely used measure to assess functional status of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, it requires a long hallway and might be time-consuming. Other simple measures might be useful as a first screening tool. We explored the predictive ability of the 1-minute sit-to-stand test (1-min STS) in discriminating people with COPD with or ...
