@a_garciahermoso @profemonsalves @uandresbello Gracias @a_garciahermoso por el apoyo a nuestro reciente paper. Hay mucho que discutir al respecto

[Matías Monsalves-Álvarez @profemonsalves]

Thank you, Antonio, for sharing our latest perspective review article led by @flowersmarcelo @uandresbello #icer

this great study led by @FisioKineDJerez showed a negative association between lactate production and intense squat acute exercise. This suggest greater metabolic efficiency in healthy young adults.

Step test accurately predicts VO2max in kids 🫁

Higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness (determined via VO2max) is associated with improved…

🫀 Cardiometabolic profile
🧠 Mental health
🎓 Academic performance

But VO2max testing can be time consuming and costly💰

This new study recruited 242 children and adolescents (aged 8 - 16 yrs) to validate and test the reliability of a submaximal step test to estimate VO2max 🔍

The step test was 3-min continuous stepping up by 15 cm at 22 steps/min following an auditory metronome stimulus 👣

Heart rate was recorded at the end and was used for the predictive equation below…

VO2max (L·min) = 0.6394241 +(−0.0092567 * heart rate in bpm) + (0.0216444 * weight in kg)+(0.878444 * height in cm)

This was compared to formal VO2max test scores 🏃‍♀️

Results 📊

Predicted VO2max from the step-test correlated strongly with measured VO2max (r = 0.86) 📈

Therefore, this step test could be a useful tool for those working with youth athletes to assess VO2max without the need for expensive equipment ✅

En 116 ensayos clínicos con 6880 adultos con sobrepeso u #obesidad, el #ejercicio aeróbico moderado/vigoroso 💪👟 de ≥300 min/semana reduce peso, grasa y perímetro de cintura 📉

¡Incluso 150 min/semana ya marcan la diferencia! 🕒✨

@PrimaryCarePAC @DrCarlaPrado @nick_krontiris @Theo_Ispoglou @KostasProko @Omid_HopeUni @darrencandow @brunovellas @Strength4_Life Nothing new under this radar. We've known for years that sarcopenia involves loss of muscle quality due to IMAT. Just overconplicate things that are not yet thoroughly described

🥶🚩 ¿CUANDO USAR HIELO EN LAS LESIONES?

—En las primeras 6 horas tras una lesión musculo-esquelética, puede:

⇩ ⇩ Reducción del dolor.
⇩ ⇩ Reducción del hematoma.

—Después de las 6 primeras horas tras una lesión musculo-esquelética, puede:

⇩ ⇩Reducir la capacidad de regeneración del tejido.

⏱️ Conclusión: el timming importa.
