Short-Term Skin Temperature Responses to Endurance Exercise: A Systematic Revie...
Rojas-Valverde, Daniel; Tomás-Carús, Pablo; Timón, Rafael; Batalha, Nuno; Sánchez-Ureña, Braulio; Gutiérrez-Vargas, Randall; Olcina, GuillermoBackground: Body temperature is often assessed in the core and the skin. Infrared thermog- raphy has been used to measure skin temperature (Tsk) in sport research and clinical practice. This study aimed to explore the information reported to date on the use of infrared thermography to detect short-term Tsk responses to endurance exercise and to identify the methodological considerations and knowledge gaps, and ...
Acute physiological response to a normobaric hypoxic exposure: sex differences
Camacho‐Cardenosa, Alba; Camacho‐Cardenosa, Marta; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Timón, Rafael; Olcina, Guillermo; Burtscher, MartinAlthough preliminary studies suggested sex-related differences in physiological responses to altitude/hypoxia, controlled studies from standardised exposures to normobaric hypoxia are largely lacking. Hence, the goals of this study were to provide information on cardiorespiratory responses to a 7-h normobaric hypoxia exposure and to explore potential differences between men and women. In this crossover study, a...
Effects of Whole-Body Vibration Training Combined With Cyclic Hypoxia on Bone M...
Camacho-Cardenosa, Marta; Camacho-Cardenosa, Alba; Burtscher, M.; Brazo-Sayavera, Javier; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Olcina, Guillermo; Timón, RafaelModerate intermittent hypoxia (IH) protocols may help to restrain osteoclastic activity and/or stimulate osteoblastic activity. Therefore, whole-body vibration (WBV) combined with IH exposure may provide the most effective treatment for osteoporosis. The present randomised controlled trial investigated if normobaric IH exposure combined with WBV training over an 18-week period for the elderly is more effective ...
Can Hypoxic Conditioning Improve Bone Metabolism? A Systematic Review
Camacho-Cardenosa, Marta; Camacho-Cardenosa, Alba; Timón, Rafael; Olcina, Guillermo; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Brazo-Sayavera, JavierAbstract: Among other functions, hypoxia-inducible factor plays a critical role in bone–vascular coupling and bone formation. Studies have suggested that hypoxic conditioning could be a potential nonpharmacological strategy for treating skeletal diseases. However, there is no clear consensus regarding the bone metabolism response to hypoxia. Therefore, this review aims to examine the impact of di erent modes of...
Effects of whole-body vibration under hypoxic exposure on muscle mass and funct...
Camacho-Cardenosa, Marta; Camacho-Cardenosa, Alba; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Olcina, Guillermo; Timón, Rafael; Brazo-Sayavera, JavierBackground Ageing is accompanied by a loss of muscle mass and function, which are associated with decrease of functional capacity. Combination of WBV training with normobaric hypoxic exposure could augment the beneficial effects due to synergic effects of both treatments. Aims The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 36 sessions of the combined WBV training and normobaric hypoxic exposure on musc...
Evaluation of 18-week whole-body vibration training in normobaric hypoxia on lo...
Camacho-Cardenosa, Marta; Camacho-Cardenosa, Alba; Brazo-Sayavera, Javier; Olcina, Guillermo; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Timón, RafaelTherapeutic benefits of hypoxic training have been suggested for clinical populations, such as elderly who could suffer loss of lower limb muscle strength and higher risk of falling. This study investigated the effects of 18 weeks of whole-body vibration (WBV) training in normobaric hypoxia on the strength parameters of an elderly population. Thirty-one healthy elderly participants were randomly assigned to a h...
Abdominal obesity in adolescents: Development of age-specific waist circumferen...
Bravo, Jorge Duarte dos Santos; Raimundo, Armando M.; Santos, Diana A.; Timón, Rafael; Sardinha, Luís B.We provide age- and sex-specific cut-off points that can be used to identify abdominal obesity in adolescents. The present findings provide a tool that can be used in the clinical setting for the early detection and prevention of adult obesity. Population-specific cutoffs may be required for pediatric ages to diagnose children at risk. 1 | INTRODUCTION The prevalence of pediatric overweight and obesity has incr...
