Acute Cardiovascular and Hemodynamic Effects of Set Configuration of Resistance Training
Rúa-Alonso, María (2021)[Abstract] Resistance exercise is characterised by a sharp rise in systolic blood pressure during exercise, and by reductions in cardiac parasympathetic control and baroreflex sensitivity with a concomitant hypotensive ... -
Acute cardiovascular responses of postmenopausal women to resistance training sessions differing in set configuration: A study protocol for a crossover trial
Iglesias-Soler, Eliseo; Nine, Iván; Padrón Cabo, Alexis; Carballeira, Eduardo; Rial-Vázquez, Jessica; Rúa-Alonso, María; Fariñas Rodríguez, Juan; Giráldez-García, Manuel Avelino (PLOS ONE, 2024-10-14)[Abstract]: Background: Resistance training is hardly recommended for postmenopausal women to counteract negative effects of hormonal changes. However, some concern exists about the marked hemodynamic responses caused by ... -
Acute effects of isotonic eccentric exercise on the neuromuscular function of knee extensors vary according to the motor task: impact on muscle strength profiles, proprioception and balance
Rúa-Alonso, María; Vila-Chã, Carolina; Bovolini, Antonio; Francisco, Cristiana; Costa Brito, Ana Raquel; Vaz, Cláudia; De Paz, José Antonio; Vieira, Taian; Mendonca, G. V. (Frontiers, 2023-11-03)[Abstract]: Introduction: Eccentric exercise has often been reported to result in muscle damage, limiting the muscle potential to produce force. However, understanding whether these adverse consequences extend to a broader, ... -
Arterial stiffness assessment by pulse wave velocity in post-menopausal women: comparison between non-invasive devices
Giráldez-García, Manuel Avelino; Bohn, Lucimere; Rial-Vázquez, Jessica; Nine, Iván; Rúa-Alonso, María; Fariñas, Juan; Mota, Jorge; Iglesias-Soler, Eliseo (Wolters Kluwer, 2024-08) -
Cluster vs. Traditional training programmes: changes in the force-velocity relationship
Iglesias-Soler, Eliseo; Rial-Vázquez, Jessica; Mayo, Xián; Tufano, James; Fariñas Rodríguez, Juan; Rúa-Alonso, María (Taylor & Francis Online, 2022)[Abstract]: This randomised controlled study examined the force–velocity rela-tionship changes (force and velocity axis intercepts, slope andestimated maximum power) in response to 5-week training pro-grammes differing in ... -
Comparison of physical fitness profiles obtained before and during COVID-19 pandemic in two independent large samples of children and adolescents: DAFIS Project
Rúa-Alonso, María; Rial-Vázquez, Jessica; Nine, Iván; Lete-Lasa, José-Ramón; Clavel, I.; Giráldez-García, Manuel Avelino; Rodríguez-Del Corral, Miguel; Dopico-Calvo, Xurxo; Iglesias-Soler, Eliseo (MDPI AG, 2022-03-26)[Abstract]: COVID-19 pandemic restrictions might have negatively affected the health-related physical fitness of children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to contrast the body composition and physical fitness ... -
Cross education is modulated by set configuration in knee extension exercise
Carballeira, Eduardo; Fariñas Rodríguez, Juan; Rial-Vázquez, Jessica; Giráldez-García, Manuel Avelino; Colomer Poveda, David; Sevilla-Sánchez, Marta; Márquez, Gonzalo; Rúa-Alonso, María; Nine, Iván; Aracama, Asier; Fernández-del-Olmo, Miguel; Iglesias-Soler, Eliseo (Hylonome Publications, 2023-03-01)[Abstract]: Objectives: The main aim of this study was to determine the effects of set configuration during five weeks of unilateral knee extension resistance training on untrained knee extensors performance. Methods: ... -
Estudio de la condición física relacionada con la salud en escolares de Galicia a través de la herramienta DAFIS
Clavel, I.; Carballeira, Eduardo; Rial-Vázquez, Jessica; Rúa-Alonso, María; Iglesias-Soler, Eliseo (Universidad de Zaragoza. Servicio de Publicaciones Zaragoza, 2020)[Resumen]: Actualmente, existe evidencia suficiente que demuestra la eficacia de la actividad física (AF) y el ejercicio físico en la mejora de los indicadores de salud física, psicosocial y cognitiva en escolares (Poitras ... -
Exploring Perceived Barriers to Physical Activity among Older Adults Living in Low-Population Density Regions: Gender Differences and Associations with Activity Dimensions
Rúa-Alonso, María; Bovolini, Antonio; Costa Brito, Ana Raquel; Vaz, Cláudia; Marques, Ermelinda; Serra, Nuno; Lopes, Vitor P.; Vila-Chã, Carolina (MDPI, 2023-11-11)[Abstract] : Older people in low-population density regions tend to have fewer resources to engage in regular physical activity (PA) compared to their counterparts in urban areas. Moreover, PA assumes different dimensions, ... -
Home-based exercise interventions delivered by technology in older adults: A scoping review of technological tools usage
Rúa-Alonso, María; Costa Brito, Ana Raquel; Bovolini, Antonio; Vaz, Cláudia; Ortega Morán, Juan Francisco; Pagador, J. Blas; Vila-Chã, Carolina (Elsevier, 2024-01)[Abstract]: Background: Despite technology-based systems being considered promising tools to stimulate and increase physical function at home, most older adults are unfamiliar with technology, which may pose some ... -
Load-velocity profiles change after training programs with different set configurations
Iglesias-Soler, Eliseo; Rial-Vázquez, Jessica; Boullosa, Daniel; Mayo, Xián; Fariñas Rodríguez, Juan; Rúa-Alonso, María; Santos, Luis (Georg Thieme Verlag KG, 2021)[Abstract]: This study explored the changes in load-velocity relationship of bench press and parallel squat exercises following two programs differing in the set configuration. A randomized controlled trial was carried out ... -
Percentiles and Principal Component Analysis of Physical Fitness From a Big Sample of Children and Adolescents Aged 6-18 Years: The DAFIS Project
Iglesias-Soler, Eliseo; Rúa-Alonso, María; Rial-Vázquez, Jessica; Lete-Lasa, José-Ramón; Clavel, I.; Giráldez-García, Manuel Avelino; Rico-Díaz, Javier; Rodríguez-Del Corral, Miguel; Carballeira, Eduardo; Dopico-Calvo, Xurxo (Rubén Maneiro, 2021-02-19)[Abstract] Assessing physical fitness has emerged as a proxy of the health status of children and adolescents and therefore as relevant from a public health point of view. DAFIS is a project included in Plan Galicia Saudable ...
