Comparison of series and parallel reactance to identify changes in intracellula...
Francisco, Rúben; Jesus, Filipe; Nunes, Catarina L.; Alvim, Marta; Campa, Francesco; Sardinha, Luís B.; Mendonca, Goncalo V.; Lukaski, HenryObjective: Cross-sectional evidence has demonstrated that parallel reactance obtained by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) may be an alternative to the regularly used series of measurements to predict intracellular water (ICW) in athletes. However, we are not aware of any studies that have determined the predictive role or compared the effectiveness of both series and parallel reactance for tracking ICW ch...
H2OAthletes study protocol: effects of hydration changes on neuromuscular funct...
Francisco, Rúben; Jesus, Filipe; Nunes, Catarina L.; Santos, Paulo; Alvim, Marta; Campa, Francesco; Schoeller, Dale A.; Lukaski, HenryWe aim to understand the effects of hydration changes on athletes’ neuromuscular performance, on body water compartments, fat-free mass hydration and hydration biomarkers and to test the effects of the intervention on the response of acute dehydration in the hydration indexes. The H2OAthletes study (clinicaltrials.gov ID: NCT05380089) is a randomised controlled trial in thirty-eight national/international athle...
Interindividual variability in energy intake and expenditure during a weight lo...
Nunes, Catarina L.; Jesus, Filipe; Rosa, Gil B.; Marianito, Mariana; Francisco, Ruben; Bosy-Westphal, Anja; Minderico, Cláudia; Martins, Paulo JorgeIntroduction: Behavioral compensations may occur as a response to a negative energy balance. The aim of this study was to explore the associations between changes in energy intake (EI) and changes in physical activity (PA, min/day; kcal/d) as a response to a weight loss (WL) intervention and to understand if interindividual differences occur in EI and energy expenditure (EE). Methods: Eighty-one participants [m...
Food reward associations with motivational eating behavior traits and body mass...
Carraça, Eliana V.; Nunes, Catarina L.; Santos, Inês; Finlayson, Graham; Silva, Analiza MBackground: Motivational eating behavior traits (i.e. eating motivations and intuitive eating) have an important role in body weight regulation, as do food reward processes. Their associations might help explain different responses to food stimulus in the current environment but have never been explored. This study's primary goal was to investigate food reward associations with eating motivations, intuitive eat...
Effectiveness of a lifestyle weight-loss intervention targeting inactive former...
Silva, Analiza M; Nunes, Catarina L.; Jesus, Filipe; Francisco, Ruben; Matias, Catarina N.; Cardoso, Miguel; Santos, Inês; Carraça, Eliana V.Objectives: Many athletes struggle in managing the end of their career, often gaining weight and adopting unhealthy lifestyles. Lifestyle programmes targeting former athletes who have gained substantial fat mass (FM) postsports career are lacking. We studied the effects of the Champ4Life programme on body composition and other health-related outcomes in former elite athletes with overweight or obesity. Methods:...
Changes in food reward and intuitive eating after weight loss and maintenance i...
Nunes, Catarina L.; Carraça, Eliana V.; Jesus, Filipe; Finlayson, Graham; Francisco, Ruben; Silva, Marlene N.; Santos, Inês; Bosy‐Westphal, AnjaObjective: This study aimed to explore the following: 1) the impact of Champ4Life's intervention on intuitive eating and food reward; and 2) associations between changes in eating behavior and changes in body composition. Methods: A total of 94 former athletes (mean [SD], BMI = 31.1 [4.3] kg/m2 , age = 43.0 [9.4] years, 34% female) assigned to intervention (n = 49) and control groups (n = 45) underwent 4 months...
Champ4life study protocol: a one-year randomized controlled trial of a lifestyl...
Silva, Analiza M; Nunes, Catarina L.; Matias, Catarina N.; Jesus, Filipe; Francisco, Ruben; Cardoso, Miguel; Santos, Inês; Carraça, Eliana V.Preventive and educational programs directed to former elite athletes in the areas of healthy living are required. This is particularly relevant as obesity and health-related problems are observed in retired athletes, especially in those whose current levels of physical activity are below the recommendations. During their sports career, elite athletes are supported by a multidisciplinary team; upon retirement, ...
