Sensor based sleep patterns and reported sleep quality in breast cancer patient...
Malveiro, Carla; Boavida, Sofia; Cargaleiro, Catarina; Bernardino, Ana Vilelas; Correia, Inês; Reis, Cátia; Matos, Leonor; Sardinha, Luís B.Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women worldwide and its treatment often leads to the onset of sleep disturbances. While much research has focused on chemotherapy's impact on overall sleep quality through subjective measures, less attention has been given to its effects on specific sleep metrics such as duration, timing, continuity, and naps. This preliminary study addresses this gap by assessing s...
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...
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...
Dietary content and combined training, but not daily physical activity, are ass...
Videira-Silva, Antonio; Santos, Inês; Freaza, Dalise; Gameiro, Mariana; Sardinha, Luís B.; Fonseca, HelenaPurpose: The present study aimed to explore the influence of diet and physical activity (PA) changes on bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD) alterations in adolescents with obesity undergoing a weight loss program. Methods: Six-month longitudinal data from 71 adolescents (aged 15.1 [± 1.6] years; 57.7% girls) with a BMI z-score of 3.03 (± 0.78), previously recruited for the PAC-MAnO trial, were analyzed...
Results from Portugal's 2022 report card on physical activity for children and ...
Pizarro, Andreia; Oliveira-Santos, José Miguel; Santos, Rute; Ribeiro, José Carlos; Santos, Maria Paula; Coelho-e-Silva, Manuel J.; Raimundo, Armando M.Background/Objectives: The purpose of this study is to update results of Portuguese's Report Card on Physical activity (PA) for Children and Adolescents. Methods: The grades were assigned by results derived from the PA and Fitness in Portugal 2021 Portuguese Report Card and corresponds to the third report for the Portuguese children and adolescents. It includes indicators of PA and sedentary behavior (SB) that ...
The bioelectrical impedance analysis [BIA] international database: aims, scope,...
Silva, Analiza M; Campa, Francesco; Stagi, Silvia; Gobbo, Luís A.; Buffa, Roberto; Toselli, Stefania; Silva, Diego Augusto SantosBackground: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a technique widely used for estimating body composition and health-related parameters. The technology is relatively simple, quick, and non-invasive, and is currently used globally in diverse settings, including private clinicians' offices, sports and health clubs, and hospitals, and across a spectrum of age, body weight, and disease states. BIA parameters ca...
Improvement of Oxidative Stress in Older Women Is Dependent on Resistance Train...
Cunha, Paolo M.; Ribeiro, Alex S.; Padilha, Camila; Nunes, João Pedro; Schoenfeld, Brad J.; Cyrino, Letícia T.; Tomeleri, Crisieli M.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T08:41:33Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-04-01; The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of resistance training (RT) performed with a higher versus lower training volume on oxidative stress (OS) biomarkers in older women. Thirty-eight older women (≥60 years) were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups: a group that performed 1 set ...
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:...
Vigorous physical activity: a potential ally in adolescent obesity management
Videira-Silva, Antonio; Manco, Licínio; Sardinha, Luís B.; Fonseca, HelenaIndividual variability may contribute to the modest and inconsistent results reported in obesity-management interventions. This study aimed to investigate the impact of non-modifiable as well as modifiable factors on body mass index (BMI) and body fat variance in adolescents with obesity followed in a clinical obesity-management programme, in order to better understand individual variability. Non-modifiable fac...
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...
