The immediate effect of soft tissue manual therapy intervention on lung function in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Abstract
Background and objective In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), accessory respiratory muscles are recruited as a compensatory adaptation to changes in respiratory mechanics. This results in shortening and overactivation of the...

Swimming versus running: effects on exhaled breath condensate pro-oxidants and pH
Abstract
The respiratory redox-state of swimmers can be affected by chronic exposures to chlorinated pools, and the effects of different exercises on it are unknown. Our aim was to compare two exercises performed at high-intensity and under habi...

Increased active phase atrial contraction is related to marathon runner performance
Abstract
Left atrial (LA) contraction is essential for left ventricular (LV) filling during exertion. We sought to evaluate the relationship of LA contraction and exercise capacity in trained athletes. Sixteen male marathon runners were recruite...

Reliability of NIRS portable device for measuring intercostal muscles oxygenation during exercise
Abstract
ABSTRACT This study assessed the intra-individual reliability of oxygen saturation in intercostal muscles (SmO2-m.intercostales) during an incremental maximal treadmill exercise by using portable NIRS devices in a test-retest study. Fif...

[Cardiometabolic risk and variation of fat/adipose content according to body mass index in children from six to nine years old].
Abstract
Introduction
Introduction: child excess weight has been associated with obesity in adulthood and, as a consequence, increased risk of death due to cardiometabolic factors. Objective: to identify whether BMI reflects changes in the conte...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and sarcopenia: pathophysiological connections and therapeutic implications
Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently one of the most common liver diseases worldwide. Recent data suggest that loss of skeletal muscle mass and function (i.e. sarcopenia) is highly prevalent and fr...

Oxigenación en músculos respiratorios y locomotores durante el ejercicio máximo en dos corredores de maratón
Abstract
Un elevado trabajo respiratorio (work of breathing, WOB) asociado a la hiperventilación pulmonar durante el ejercicio físico puede limitar el rendimiento deportivo en corredores de maratón. Evaluar los cambios del WOB durante el ejercic...

Circulating Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) Is Associated With Left Atrial Remodeling in Long-Distance Runners
Abstract
Introduction: An increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been demonstrated in high-performance athletes. Soluble vascular adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), a biomarker involved in inflammation and cardiac remodeling, is associated w...

Intercostal Muscles Oxygenation and Breathing Pattern during Exercise in Competitive Marathon Runners
Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the association between the changes in ventilatory variables (tidal volume (Vt), respiratory rate (RR) and lung ventilation (V.E)) and deoxygenation of m.intescostales (∆SmO2-m.intercostales) during a maximal...
