RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Bernat-Adell, MD, Collado-Boira, EJ, Moles-Julio, P, Panizo-González, N, Martínez-Navarro, I, Hernando-Fuster, B, and Hernando-Domingo, C. Recovery of inflammation, cardiac and muscle damage biomarkers after running a marathon. J Strength Cond Res 35(3): 626-632, 2021-Physical endurance sports conditions the increase of blood biomarkers responsible for the acute inflammatory response. The purpose of this study was to observe the impact of intense physical exercise on these biomarkers and detect their recovery pattern. This is an experimental study of repeated measures (pre-post marathon). The biomarkers lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TNT), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were analyzed in a total of 86 runners, 24 hours before the marathon, immediately after finishing the race and at 24, 48, 96, and 144 postrace hours. The comparative analyses were performed using the Friedman and Wilcoxon tests. The correlations between dependent and independent variables were analyzed using Spearman correlations. The data were processed through the IBM SPSS package, version 23. Significant value was p ≤ 0.05. The LDH increased and showed significant differences (p ≤ 0.001) for all times, compared with the initial LDH value, normalizing after 192 hours (p = 0.667) (effect size [ES], r = 0.807). The CK increased and showed significant differences (p ≤ 0.001) (ES, r = 0.975) up to 96 hours afterward, normalizing after 144 hours. The hs-TNT presented an increase and showed significant differences (p ≤ 0.001) between the pre-post race times, 24 and 48 hours, normalizing after 96 hours, although it showed a new significant value at 192 hours (p ≤ 0.001) (ES, r = 0.519). The CRP increased and showed significant differences (p ≤ 0.001) between the pre-post race times, at 24, 48, 96, 144, and 192 hours after race. The recovery after alterations produced by the marathon varies according to the biomarker. Blood levels of biomarkers decrease with longer race times. Greater energy expenditure increases the blood levels of LDH, CK, and hs-TNT.

AIM: This study was conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties of a rubric to assess nursing student performance in medium- and low-fidelity simulation. METHOD: A psychometric study was carried out. Content validity was explored by a group of experts. Internal consistency was determined by means of Cronbach's coefficient alpha. Interrater agreement and the level of concordance were established by the kappa coefficient and intraclass correlation index. RESULTS: The relevance of the dimensions and the definition of each category scored higher than 3.25 on a Likert-type scale (maximum value of 4); content validity ratio values were close to +1. The kappa index was above 0.61 (p < .001) in all dimensions, thereby indicating a good level of interrater agreement; the intraclass correlation index showed values above .82 (p < .001). CONCLUSION: The rubric appears to be psychometrically sound, thus supporting its reliability.

Objetivos: conocer la prevalencia del miedo a caer e identificar sus factores asociados en la población mayor comunitaria de 75 años o más, de la ciudad de Castellón de la Plana. Metodología: estudio descriptivo, transversal, realizado en los centros de atención primaria de Castellón. Se incluyó a 316 personas de 75 años o más, que disponían de tarjeta sanitaria y residían en viviendas familiares, a través de un muestreo intencionado. La fuente de datos proviene de la encuesta de fragilidad en Castellón (Encuesta FRALLE). Las variables utilizadas fueron el miedo a caer, los factores sociodemográficos, el estado de salud y la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud. Resultados: una prevalencia del miedo a caer del 46%. Tras el análisis, los únicos factores asociados al miedo a caer son edad (p < 0,001), alteraciones del equilibrio y la marcha (p = 0,001), síntomas depresivos (p = 0,010), autopercepción de la salud (p 0,001), fragilidad (p < 0,001), caídas (p < 0,001) y calidad de vida (p < 0,001). Conclusiones: este estudio nos muestra la situación de la población mayor que vive en la comunidad de Castellón de la Plana, donde vemos la importancia del miedo a caer que transmiten las personas mayores, lo que puede afectar a su salud y a la calidad de vida
Objectives: To know the prevalence of fear of falling and to identify its associated factors in the major community population aged 75 and over in the city of Castellón de la Plana. Methodology: Descriptive, cross-sectional study. In the Primary Care Centers, Castellón. A total of 316 persons aged 75 years or older, who had a health card and resided in single-family homes, were sampled intentionally. The data source comes from the fragility survey in Castellón (FRALLE survey). The variables used were fear of falling, sociodemographic factors, health status, health related quality of life. Results: The prevalence of fear of falling from 46%. After analysis, the only factors associated with fear of falling are age (p <0.001), impaired balance and gait (p 0.001), depressive symptoms (p 0.010), self-perception of health (p 0.001), fragility (p <0.001), falls (p <0.001) and quality of life (p <0.001). Conclusions: This study shows the situation of the elderly population living in the community of Castellón de la Plana, where we see the importance of the fear of falling transmitted by the elderly and this can affect their health and quality of life
