Reply to: comment on: The benefits of resistance training in obese adolescents:...
Ribeiro, Bruno; Forte, Pedro; Vinhas, Raquel; Marinho, D.A.; Faíl, Luís B.; Pereira, Ana Fátima; Vieira, Fernando A.R.; Neiva, Henrique P.We thank Dr. Zhang [1] for his interest in our literature review about the effects of resistance training (RT) programs in obese adolescents [2]. In the review, we analyzed 21 studies to evaluate the impact of RT on body mass index, body fat, waist circumference, lean mass, insulin sensitivity, muscle strength, and cardiorespiratory fitness. Our main findings showed that RT programs seem to be positive for obes...
The multistage 20-m Shuttle Run Test for predicting VO2Peak in 6–9-year-old chi...
Brito, João; Domingos, Christophe; Pereira, Ana Fátima; MOUTÃO, JOÃO; Oliveira, RafaelThis study aimed (i) to verify if using and carrying a portable gas analyzer (PGA) con strained the performance of school children on the multistage 20-m shuttle run test (20mSRT), (ii) to verify which peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) predictive equations have greater agreement with VO2peak values measured by direct oximetry using the 20mSRT. The study participants were 130 children ((67 boys (age 7.76 ± 0.97 ...
Muscle Tissue Changes with Aging
Pereira, Ana Fátima; Silva, António José; Matos Costa, Aldo; Monteiro, António Miguel; Bastos, Estela Maria; Cardoso Marques, MárioSarcopenia is characterized by a progressive generalized decrease of skeletal muscle mass, strength and function with aging. Recently, the genetic determination has been associated with muscle mass and muscle strength in elderly. These two phenotypes of risk are the most commonly recognized and studied for sarcopenia, with heritability ranging from 30 to 85% for muscle strength and 45-90% for muscle mass. It is...
