“…The test was administered twice at the beginning of the intervention (test-retest), obtaining a correlation coefficient of r = 0.97 between the two measurements. VO2max was estimated using equation the following equation [44]: Table 2 shows the 6-month physical cardiorespiratory training, which was composed of 72 training sessions of 60 minutes each, with 3 sessions per week. The training sessions consisted in low to moderate progressive walks between 2.2 MET and 3.6 MET in a horizontal plane, with a fluctuation of the maximum cardiovascular demand between 40% and 65% of VO2max, and with a maximum energy expenditure of 4.6 Kcal/min.…”

Ageing and diabetes are recognised as important risk factors for the development of cognitive deterioration. The aim was to analyse the effects of a walking-based training programme on cognitive deterioration and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in older women with type 2 diabetes. This was a six-month experimental and longitudinal study with an experimental group (EG) (n = 57) and a control group (CG) (n = 52). All participants were diabetic with hypoglycaemic treatment. EG carried out a walking-based training program. After the training, we evaluated the diabetic state (HbA1c), cognitive functioning with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) and body mass index (BMI). Results: EG obtained better results than CG in all the analysed variables. EG showed a significant improvement in the levels of HbA1c (−4.5%; p < 0.001), VO2max (+5.9%; p < 0.001) and BMI (−5.4%; p < 0.001); it also obtained increases in the scores of cognitive functioning, which were statistically significant in all dimensions, except for calculation (p = 0.384) and language (p = 0.168). Conclusion: The aerobic treatment produced significant improvements in the diabetic state and cognitive functioning in older women with type 2 diabetes.

“…En el presente estudio no se utilizaron fórmulas de predicción del VO 2 máx calculadas a partir de la distancia recorrida en la prueba de Cooper, ya que se ha encontrado que las fórmulas de predicción de variables de la aptitud física no son extrapolables entre las poblaciones, por lo que se prefiere utilizar fórmulas desarrolladas específicamente para la población de interés (Carpio-Rivera, Hernández-Elizondo, Salicetti-Fonseca, Solera-Herrera y Peralta-Brenes et al, 2018).…”

Algunas universidades en el mundo realizan pruebas de aptitud física a sus estudiantes de primer ingreso. Una de esas pruebas permite determinar la capacidad aeróbica, un componente de la aptitud física relacionado con la salud y la reducción de riesgos cardiovasculares. El propósito del estudio fue determinar la capacidad aeróbica de estudiantes de primer ingreso de la Universidad Veracruzana en México. Participaron 1004 estudiantes de ambos sexos, quienes completaron la prueba aeróbica de Cooper. Se encontró que el 63.0 % de los participantes se ubicó en niveles bajos; 25.6 %, en niveles medios, y 11.4 %, en un nivel bueno. Se concluye que los estudiantes de primer ingreso poseen una baja capacidad aeróbica, lo que impactará en su desempeño físico si participan en actividades deportivas. Además, esta inadecuada condición se manifiesta en hombres y mujeres, por lo que es necesario implementar estrategias de ejercicio físico para que impacte en la prevención y cuidado de la salud física, coadyuvando en la disminución de los riesgos de enfermar y colaborando en la reducción del gasto en servicios de salud de la comunidad estudiantil universitaria.

“…The physical assessment included body height (m) and weight (kg), body mass index (BMI= kg/m 2 ), resting blood glucose (mmol/l), systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (mm Hg), mean arterial pressure (MAP), 6-min walking test (6-MWT) (m) (Balke, 1963) 2.567 (gender: 1 male, 0 female) ± 3.25 ml• kg -1 • min -1 (R 2 = 0.48) (Peralta-Brenes et al, 2018). Finally, handgrip strength was measured on the dominant hand with a Camry, model EH101 (Japan) handheld dynamometer with an accuracy of 0.1 kg.…”

Purpose: To compare nutritional habits, physical function and psychological constructs between Costa Rican older adults from urban and rural zones.Methods: Male and female older adults aged ? 65 yr. from urban (n = 185) and rural (n = 109) Costa Rica were assessed on nutritional habits, physical function measures, and cognitive function by a face-to-face interview.Results: Rural older adults consumed more daily carbohydrates, protein, and energy at breakfast and lunch (p < 0.05 for all), and more carbohydrates (p ? 0.001), fat (p = 0.002), protein (p ? 0.001), and energy (p ? 0.001) at dinner than urban elderly. Aerobic power (p = 0.044) was higher in urban compared to rural elderly. A correlation was found between aerobic power and global fatigue (r = -0.20, p = 0.014) in urban elderly. Lifetime cognitive activity correlated to total energy (r = 0.37, p = 0.003), carbohydrate (r = 0.37, p = 0.002), and protein (r = 0.34, p = 0.005) consumption in rural elderly. Higher depression scores (p = 0.048), and lower lifetime cognitive activity were observed in urban compared to rural elderly (p = 0.004).Conclusion: The health profile is positive for either group depending on the variable analyzed, except for a higher aerobic power, which provides benefits to the entire cohort.
