Effects of Physical Exercise on Gross Motor Skills in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Research shows many positive effects from physical exercise. The present study examined the impact of a structured physical exercise program compared to treatment as usual on the gross motor skills of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Participants included 20 children, from 4 to 7 years old, who were assigned to two groups; an experimental group (n = 10) who received a structured physical exercise program for 60-min sessions, three times a week for eight weeks, and a control group (n = 10) who received conventional physiotherapy. Gross motor skills were assessed with the Abbreviated Development Scale -3 before and after the physical exercise program. The experimental group exhibited significant improvements in gross motor skills compared to the control group. This study suggests that structured physical exercise programs can improve gross motor skills in children with ASD.

Efficacy of vitamin D supplementation in reducing body mass index and lipid profile in healthy young adults in Colombia: a pilot randomised controlled clinical trial.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of oral administration of vitamin D supplementation in reducing BMI and lipid profile in adolescents and young adults from a cohort in Bucaramanga, Colombia. One hundred and one young adults were randomly assigned to one of two doses of vitamin D [1000 international units (IU) or 200 IU] administered daily for 15 weeks. The primary outcomes were serum 25(OH)D levels, BMI and lipid profile. The secondary outcomes were waist-hip ratio, skinfolds and fasting blood glucose. We found a mean ± sd plasma concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] was 25⋅0 ± 7⋅0 ng/ml at baseline, and after 15 weeks, it increased to 31⋅0 ± 10⋅0 ng/ml in the participants who received a daily dose of 1000 IU, (P < 0⋅0001). For the participants in the control group (200 IU), it went from 26⋅0 ± 8⋅0 ng/ml to 29⋅0 ± 8⋅0 ng/ml (P = 0⋅002). There were no differences between groups in body mass index. There was a statistically significant decrease in LDL-cholesterol between the intervention group v. the control group (mean difference -11⋅50 mg/dl (95 % CI -21⋅86 to -1⋅15; P = 0⋅030). The conclusions of the present study were two different doses of vitamin D supplementation (200 IU v. 1000 IU) produced changes in serum 25(OH)D levels over 15 weeks of administration in healthy young adults. No significant changes were found in the body mass index when the effect of the treatments was compared. A significant reduction in LDL-cholesterol was found when comparing the two intervention groups. Trial registration: NCT04377386.

Effects of High-Intensity Circuit Training vs. Interval Training on Body Composition and Oxygen Consumption in College Students / Efectos del entrenamiento en circuito de alta intensidad vs. entrenamiento interválico sobre composición corporal y consumo de oxígeno en estudiantes universitarios / Efeitos do treinamento em circuito de alta intensidade vs. treinamento intervalado sobre composição corporal e consumo de oxigeno em estudantes universitários

Abstract Objective: to identify the effects of High-Intensity Circuit Training versus Interval Training on body composition and oxygen consumption in overweight and obese young adults. Materials and Methods: quasi-experimental study. The population was made up of 106 university students, with a BMI Body Mass Index greater than 25 kg/m2. The members of the sample were randomly assigned to two groups of 15 students each: a control group (continuous training) and an experimental group (high-intensity functional training). Variables such as weight, height, body mass index, percentage of fat mass, muscle mass, bone mass, and oxygen consumption were measured. Results: the control group showed a significant decrease in body weight and BMI after the 20 training sessions; the experimental group did not show significant modifications in this variable. In relation to the percentage of body fat tissue, a statistically significant decrease in the post-test measurements was evident in the individuals of both groups. The median and interquartile ranges show better results in VO2 of the experimental group and less variability with respect to the control group in the pretest and posttest. Conclusions: High-Intensity Intermittent Training significantly reduces the percentage of body fat and oxygen consumption in people with obesity, after 20 training sessions.

Effects of kinesiotaping combined with the motor relearning method on upper limb motor function in adults with hemiparesis after stroke.

INTRODUCTION: Kinesio Taping (KT) is being widely used in neurorehabilitation as an adjuvant technique due to its therapeutic effects. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of Kinesio Taping combined with the motor relearning method on upper limb motor function in adult patients with post-stroke hemiparesis. METHODS: A quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test in a sample of 10 adult patients with post-stroke hemiparesis, randomly assigned in two groups: experimental (n: 5) who received 12 sessions of Kinesio Taping combined with the motor relearning method and a control group (n: 5) who only received 12 sessions of the motor relearning method. Motor function was assessed through the selective movement pattern scale for adult patients with upper motor neuron injury before and after each intervention. RESULTS: statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were found when comparing the means of upper limb movement patterns of the experimental group. CONCLUSIONS: the use of Kinesio Taping combined with the motor relearning method was encouraging for upper limb motor function in patients with spastic hemiparesis.

Association between body fat mass and cardiometabolic risk in children and adolescents in Bucaramanga, Colombia.

BACKGROUND: Obesity is common among children and teenagers and is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in the adult age. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the association between the percentage of body fat and cardiometabolic risk factors in children and adolescents in the city of Bucaramanga, Colombia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: About 494 children and adolescents aged 10-20 years were studied. Laboratory tests were made for analyzing cardiovascular risk factors and anthropometric measurements. Percentage body fat was determined with Slaughter equation. Lineal regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the association between cardiometabolic risk factors and the percentage body fat. RESULTS: Prevalence of percentage body fat (>26%) was 46.1%. Variables associated with percentage body fat were HOMA-IR - insulin resistance, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels, and high blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS: Increase in percentage body fat is significantly associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in children and adolescents in Bucaramanga. Early identification and intervention of this population at risk is fundamental.

Effects of high-intensity intermittent training in adults with obesity / Efectos del entrenamiento intermitente de alta intensidad en adultos con obesidad

[Relationship between exclusive breastfeeding the first six months of life and development of insulin resistance in children and adolescents in Bucaramanga, Colombia]. / Relación entre la lactancia materna exclusiva los primeros seis meses de vida y el desarrollo de resistencia a la insulina en niños y adolescentes de Bucaramanga, Colombia.

INTRODUCTION: exclusive breastfeeding (EB) is a protective factor against the development of insulin resistance (IR) as mainstay of the metabolic syndrome. OBJECTIVE: the objective of the study was to evaluate the relationship between EB during the first six months of life and the development of IR through the Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA-IR) and Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index (QUICKI) indexes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: a population-based cohort study included 494 adolescent participants, from whom socio-demographic, anthropometric, and cardiometabolic variables were assessed using the HOMA-IR and QUICKI indexes to determine the degree of association between EB and the development IR. The results were expressed in medians. RESULTS: the prevalence of EB was 42%. The results suggest a protective effect of EB on IR, in such a way that for each extra month of EB, the HOMA-IR index decreases in 0.32 (p = 0.005) and the index QUICKI increases in 0.70 (p = 0.008). Regarding waist circumference, body mass index and waist size index, this relationship was not significant. CONCLUSION: the bivariate and multivariate analyses indicate an epidemiologically significant relationship that demonstrates a protective effect of EB on the HOMA-IR and QUICKI indexes.

INTRODUCCIÓN: la lactancia materna exclusiva (LME) es un factor protector contra el desarrollo de resistencia a la insulina (RI) como causa del síndrome metabólico. OBJETIVO: el objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la relación entre la LME los  primeros seis meses de vida y el desarrollo de RI, mediante los índicesHomeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA-IR) y Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index (QUICKI). MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: estudio de cohorte de tipo poblacional; se incluyeron 494 participantes adolescentes, de los cuales se evaluaron variables sociodemográficas, antropométricas y factores cardiometabólicos mediante los índices HOMA-IR y QUICKI para determinar el grado de asociación entre la LME y el desarrollo de RI. Los resultados fueron expresados en medianas. RESULTADOS: la prevalencia de LME fue del 42%. Los resultados sugieren un efecto protector de la LME sobre la resistencia a la insulina, de tal manera que por cada mes más de duración de LME, disminuye en 0,32 (p = 0,005) el índice HOMA-IR y aumenta en 0,70 (p = 0,008) el índice QUICKI. Para la circunferencia de cintura, el índice de masa corporal (IMC) y el índice-cintura talla (ICT) esta relación no fue significativa. CONCLUSIÓN: los análisis bivariados y multivariados, indican una relación epidemiológicamente significativa que demuestra un efecto protector de la Lactancia Materna Exclusiva sobre el índice HOMA-IR y el QUICKI.

Hábitos alimenticios de las personas con limitación en las actividades de al movilidad / Food habits of people with limitation on mobility

A nivel internacional y nacional son pocos los estudios que se han realizado para identificar los há-bitos alimenticios de las personas con discapacidad y aún más en aquellas personas que presentan limitación en las actividades de la movilidad (antes discapacidad física). A nivel local y regional no se han realizado estudios de este tipo. Objetivo: determinar los hábitos alimenticios de las per-sonas con limitación en las actividades de la movilidad en la ciudad de Neiva. Método: se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, correlacional, transversal con una muestra de 224 personas con limitación en las actividades de la movilidad en Neiva. Se aplicó el cuestionario STEP, para este artículo se considera el ítem de dietética (consumo de frutas y verduras), así como la medición del estado nu-tricional a través del Índice de Masa Corporal. Resultados: más del 50% de la población encuestada consume frutas y verduras. Hubo predominio de normopeso. Así mismo se encontró un nivel de dependencia entre las variables de Índice de Masa Corporal, consumo de frutas-verduras y el géne-ro (p < 0,05). Discusión: Las personas participantes en el estudio presentan un IMC en normopeso, sin embargo, el consumo de frutas y verduras se encuentra solo entre el 50 y el 55% de la población encuestada, lo que puede incrementar la probabilidad de presentar sobrepeso ya que las personas con discapacidad se enfrentan a importantes obstáculos estructurales para la actividad física.

,At a national and international levels, few studies have been carried out to identify the eating habits of people with disabilities, even more on people with mobility limitations (previously known as physical disabilities). There have not been any studies carried out locally or regionally. Objective: to determine the eating habits of people with limited mobility activities in the city of Neiva. Method: a quantitative, correlational, correlational, cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 224 people with limited mobility activities in Neiva. The STEP questionnaire, and the item of diet (consumption of fruits and vegetables) were applied for this article. The measurement of nutritional status was made through the Body Mass Index. Results: more than 50% of the po-pulation surveyed consume fruits and vegetables. There was a predominance of normal weight. Also, a level of dependence was found between the variables of Body Mass Index, fruit-vegetable consumption and gender (p <0.05). Discussion: Participants in the study have a BMI in normal weight. However, it was found that only between 50% and 55% of the population surveyed consu-mes fruits and vegetables, this may increase the probability of being overweight as people with disabilities face significant structural obstacles for physical activity.
