What Mathematical Models Are Accurate for Prescribing Aerobic Exercise in Women...
Villafaina, Santos; Biehl-Printes, Clarissa; Parraca, José A.; de Oliveira Brauner, Fabiane; Tomas-Carus, PabloObjectives: This article aims to verify the agreement between the standard method to determine the heart rate achieved in the ventilatory threshold 1 in the cardiopulmonary exercise testing (VT1) and the mathematical models with exercise intensities suggested by the literature in order to check the most precise for fibromyalgia (FM) patients. Methods: Seventeen women with FM were included in this study. The VT1...
Test-Retest Reliability of Isokinetic Strength Measurements in Lower Limbs in E...
Parraca, Jose A.; Carmelo Adsuar, José; Domínguez-Muñoz, Francisco Javier; Barrios-Fernandez, Sabina; Tomas-Carus, PabloStrength is essential for carrying out the usual activities of daily life. As there is a loss of strength in elderly, many treatments are based on delaying the loss of strength or maintaining it. Isokinetic dynamometry is the gold standard for assessing strength. It is essential that studies are conducted to allow us to identify the reliability of isokinetic strength assessments in older people. This study aime...
Effects of Aquatic Exercises for Women with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A 12-Week Int...
Perez-Sousa, Miguel A.; Pedro, Jéssica; Carrasco-Zahinos, Rocio; Raimundo, Armando; Parraca, Jose A.; Tomas-Carus, PabloBackground: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by low physical fitness, pain, and depression. The present study aimed to examine the effects of a supervised aquatic exercise program on physical fitness, depression, and pain in women with RA and determine whether decreases in pain mediate depression. Methods: Forty-three women with RA, divided into an experimental group (EG; n = 21) and a control group (...
Comparative Analysis of Psychophysiological Responses in Fibromyalgia Patients:...
Rubio-Zarapuz, Alejandro; Dolores Apolo-Arenas, María; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Tornero-Aguilera, José Francisco; Clemente-Suárez, Vicente JavierBackground and Objectives: Fibromyalgia, a chronic condition, manifests as widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, autonomic and cognitive dysfunction, hypersen- sitivity to stimuli, and various somatic and psychiatric symptoms. This study, a controlled and randomized experiment, aimed to evaluate and compare the immediate effects of different treat- ments on fibromyalgia patients. Materia...
Physical Function, Self-Perceived Physical Fitness, Falls, Quality of Life and ...
Denche-Zamorano, Ángel; Pereira-Payo, Damián; Collado-Mateo, Daniel; Carmelo Adsuar-Sala, José; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Alberto Parraca, JosePeople with fibromyalgia (FM) experience a range of symptoms (chronic widespread pain, fatigue, mood disorder, sleep problems, muscle stiffness) that promote deterioration of physical condition and function. With impaired physical function, fear of falling and risk of falling increases. This study evaluated physical function, self-perceived physical fitness, falls, quality of life, and the degree of disability ...
Relationship of Pain, Depression, Fatigue, and Sleep Problems with Functional C...
Denche-Zamorano, Ángel; Pastor-Cisneros, Raquel; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Carmelo Adsuar-Sala, José; Salas-Gómez, Diana; Alberto Parraca, JoseBackground: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome marked by chronic widespread pain, fatigue, sleep issues, and other symptoms. Interventions like physical exercise can potentially enhance physical function in individuals with FM. This study aimed to assess physical function, perceived physical fitness, balance confidence, and fear of falling in women with FM based on their levels of pain, depression, fatigue, and sl...
Relationship between Depression and Physical Activity Frequency in Spanish Peop...
Denche-Zamorano, Ángel; Salas-Gómez, Diana; Parraca, Jose A.; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Carmelo Adsuar, José; Barrios-Fernandez, SabinaDepression is a mental disorder that causes great discomfort, is associated with unhealthy lifestyle habits, and affects the quality of life. People with pain show high depressive symptoms and a prevalence of physical inactivity. This study aimed to analyse the associations between depression (self-reported depression, depression status, depressive symptoms, and depression types) and physical activity frequency...
Analyzing the Biochemistry of Saliva: Flow, Total Protein, Amylase Enzymatic Ac...
Parraca, Jose A.; Rubio-Zarapuz, Alejandro; Tornero-Aguilera, José Francisco; Clemente-Suárez, Vicente Javier; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Rodrigues Costa, AnaThis study examines the biochemical profile of saliva, focusing on flow rate, total protein concentration, and the enzymatic activities of amylase and catalase. The study aims to explore the correlations between these parameters and their response to physiological stress induced by physical activity, providing insights into saliva’s diagnostic potential. Thirty-one participants were recruited, and saliva sample...
Effects of Twelve Weeks of Virtual Square Stepping Exercises on Quality of Life...
Denche-Zamorano, Ángel; Pereira-Payo, Damián; Ríos-Calonge, Javier; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Collado-Mateo, Daniel; Adsuar, CarmeloFibromyalgia is a condition that primarily affects women and compromises the quality of life (QoL), life satisfaction (SWL), mental health and cognitive function of sufferers. This study aimed to analyze the effects of a physical activity program based on Virtual Square Step Exercise on the above conditions in women with FM. A 12-week randomized controlled trial was designed with 61 women with FM assigned to a ...
Long-term care facilities' response to the COVID-19 pandemic: An international,...
Eltaybani, Semeh; Igarashi, Ayumi; Ayse, Cal; Lai, Claudia; Carrasco, Cristina; Sari, Dianis; Cho, Eunhee; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Amamiya, YukoAims: To (i) assess the adherence of long-term care (LTC) facilities to the COVID-19 prevention and control recommendations, (ii) identify predictors of this adherence and (iii) examine the association between the adherence level and the impact of the pandemic on selected unfavourable conditions. Design: Cross-sectional survey. Methods: Managers (n = 212) and staff (n = 2143) of LTC facilities (n = 223) in 13 c...
