Objectives: 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...
(1) Background: Several studies have shown that active breaks have led to different im‐ provements in their participants. However, no studies have assessed how they affect physical liter‐ acy (PL). (2) Aims: Therefore, this study will examine the effect of the PLBreaks programme on school children’s PL and body composition. (3) Methods: A parallel‐group randomised controlled trial will be conducted with assessm...
Previous studies have reported that people with fibromyalgia (FM) could suffer from mitochondrial dysfunction. However, the consumption of muscle oxygen during physical exercise has been poorly studied. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the response of muscle oxygen during a fatigue protocol in people with FM and healthy controls (HC). In addition, the peak torque and the total work were assessed. A total ...
Physical exercise is a useful model to assess the psychophysiological response of people with FM to fatigue. Thus, the present case-control report aimed to analyze the psychophysiological response of a young fibromyalgia patient and a control participant without fibromyalgia during a muscle fatigue protocol. With this aim, a 27-year-old female fibromyalgia patient with a 4-year diagnosis and a healthy 28-year-o...
Background and Objectives: The COVID-19 confinement significantly impacted the physical condition of athletes. However, the detraining impacts of this period on the shoulder rotator and range of motion in handball players have not been studied. Thus, the main aim of this study was to investigate the effect of this 11-week detraining period, imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic confinement, on the shoulder rotator i...

Padel, an increasingly popular sport, presents some associated cardiovascular risks, which can be prevented by heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring. However, there is no study worldwide that characterizes HRV during padel games. Therefore, this study aims to monitor HRV responses and characterize them using linear and non-linear metrics at three timepoints: at baseline, during a game, and during recovery. Tw...
Padel is an intermittent sport that has significantly increased its practice in the past years. Previous studies showed that physical demands significantly differed depending on the results of the match (win or lose). However, no previous studies have investigated the effects on the heart rate variability (HRV) of padel players. The present study examined the impact of winning or losing a padel match on the pla...
El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar los posibles cambios en parámetros de composición corporal y con- tenido de agua en jugadores de pádel noveles, tras la disputa de un partido. La muestra estaba compuesta de 24 jugadores (edad= 36,87±8,74 años) con una expe- riencia en el deporte de pádel entre 1 y 2 años, con una frecuencia de práctica de 1 a 2 veces a la semana. La va- loración de la composición c...
The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in body composition and water content in amateur padel players, after a padel match. A total of 24 players (age= 36.87±8.74 years) with an experience in padel ranged between 1 and 2 years, as well as with a practice frequency of 1 to 2 times a week participated in this cross-sectional study. Body composition was assessed using electrical bioimpedance, recording d...
