The physical activity of Spanish speleologists: accomplishment of recommendations and differences by sociodemographic variables

Outdoor adventure activities are becoming more popular due to their potential health benefits, although there is little scientific information on speleology as a physical activity (PA). The purpose of this study is to expand the scientific evidence in this field in two ways: (a) describe the PA performed by speleologists, taking into account the variables of interest such as gender, age, education, speleological level, participation in 'Alpine' explorations and body mass index (BMI) and (b) identify how far the World Health Organization's (WHO) PA recommendations were accomplished (i.e.,150 min of moderate-intensity aerobic PA or 75 min of vigorous-intensity aerobic). A cross-sectional stud…

Validación de la Athletic Identity Measurement Scale en Estudiantes Universitarios con Discapacidad y Diferencias según Variables Sociodemográficas
