The effect of smoking on lung function changes during a 16-week combined exerci...
Silva, Fernanda M.; Ferreira, José P.; Teixeira, Ana M.; Monteiro, Diogo; Duarte-Mendes, PedroPurpose To investigate the longitudinal changes in lung function of sedentary middle-aged workers over a 16-week combined exercise training program. Methods Thirty-six sedentary workers (53.70 ± 6.92 years old) were randomly allocated to either a combined aerobic and resistance training program (n = 18) or a control group (n = 18). Lung function was evaluated through spirometry using a portable flow spirometer ...

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...

Editorial: (un)healthy lifestyles, aging, and type 2 diabetes
Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Fernanda M. Silva; Teixeira, Ana M.Recent estimates from the IDF Diabetes Atlas indicate that diabetes affects 589 million adults worldwide in 2024, with type 2 diabetes (T2D) accounting for more than 90% of cases (International Diabetes Federation, 2025). This number is projected to reach 853 million by 2050. Age is an important risk factor for T2D, with estimates indicating that one in four adults with the disease (158 million) are over 65 yea...

Silva, Fernanda M.; Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Teixeira, Ana M.; Farinha, Carlos; Soares, Carlos M.; Ferreira, José PedroSedentary behaviour (SB) and physical inactivity are two major risk factors for obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease development (Davies et al., 2018). Effective stress-reducing interventions, such as regular exercise, are essential to prevent the harmful impact of SB on metabolic outcomes (Pedersen, 2017). We aimed to analyse the effects of a combined training program on bod...
Respiratory issues in patients with multiple sclerosis as a risk factor during ...
Razi, Omid; Teixeira, Ana M.; Tartibian, Bakhtyar; Zamani, Nastaran; Knechtle, BeatCoronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is associated with cytokine storm and is characterized by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and pneumonia problems. The respiratory system is a place of inappropriate activation of the immune system in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), and this may cause damage to the lung and worsen both MS and infections.The concerns for patients with multiple sclerosis are beca...
Effects of combined training on metabolic profile, lung function, stress and qu...
Ferreira, José Pedro; Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Teixeira, Ana M.; Silva, Fernanda M.Both physical inactivity and sedentary behavior are considered modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases and all-cause mortality. Adult office-workers spend most of their working day in sedentary behaviors, so they are particularly at high risk of developed chronic diseases (e.g., cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders like diabetes mellitus, …). It seems important to promote behavioral changes that co...
