Pain neuroscience education and physical exercise for patients with chronic spinal pain in primary healthcare: a randomised trial protocol.
2019
AbstractBackgroundChronic musculoskeletal pain affects more than 20% of the population, and the prevalence is increasing, causing suffering, loss of quality of life, disability, and an enormous expenditure on healthcare resources. The most common location for chronic pain is the spine. Many of the treatments used are mainly passive (pharmacological and invasive) and poor outcomes. The treatments currently applied in the public health system do not comply with the recommendations of the main clinical practice guidelines, which suggest the use of educational measures and physical exercise as the first-line treatment. A protocol based on active coping strategies is described, which will be eva…
El ejercicio físico y la promoción de la salud en la infancia y la juventud
1992
SummaryThe «new health consciousness» that emerged in the developing countries in the 70s and 80s, has contributed to consider exercise as an element of health promotion. But it can establish simplistic relationships between exercise and health, particularly critical for professionals who develop promotion programmes. In this paper, five problematic aspects linked, to exercise and health relationships both in children and youngsters, are discussed and should be taken into account when promoting health programmes. We refer to: 1) the problematic role of exercise in health promotion and in physical education curriculum as an area of privileged action in children and youngsters; 2) the automat…
Deporte entre rejas. ¿Algo más que control social?
2009
Sport practices belong to the prison’s landscape. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge about the role they play in prisons ordinary life. Therefore, we developed an ethnographic study, mainly located in the sports hall of a Spanish prison, to understand exercise and sport meanings among inmates, workers, educators and monitors. Data indicate that social rehabilitation through sport is an illusion, although it is the official goal of imprisonment. Even so, participants assign different benefits to exercise and sport, especially inmates. Educative potential of self-control through sport and, mainly, distraction and compensation strategy to cope with boredom, time and confinement’s physi…
Anti-gout drugs as potential therapy for atrial fibrillation.
2014
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important cardiovascular disease in theelderly [1]. Noticeably, it has been increasingly demonstrated thatserum uric acid (UA) is associated with AF [2–9]. In a recent meta-analysis performed by Tamariz and coworkers, the authors concludedthat high levels of UA and AF are clearly associated [10]. Interestingly,serum UA has been linked to AF in obstructive sleep apnea patients[11], whereas it has been also associated with thromboembolic risk inpatients with nonvalvular AF [12].The treatment of gout, a metabolic disorder caused by chronic hyper-uricemia, is based on administration of colchicine, xanthine oxidase (XO)competitive inhibitors such as allopurinol, and…
Antidepressant Effects of Exercise: A Role for the Adiponectin-PGC-1α-kynurenine Triad?
2015
It is well-recognized that exercise improves mental health, e.g., by decreasing depressive behaviors, improving hippocampal-dependent learning and neurogenesis, and increasing dendritic plasticity. Yet how exercise influences the brain at the molecular level is not clearly understood. Yau et al recently reported that the antidepressant effects of physical exercise are mainly mediated by adiponectin, an adipocyte-secreted hormone ('adipocytokine') with neuroprotective effects at the central nervous system level (Yau et al., 2014). 4.155 JCR (2015) Q1, 12/83 Physiology; Q2, 63/187 Cell biology UEM
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: a new therapeutic option for chronic diseases based on contraction-induced myokine secretion
2019
Myokines are peptides known to modulate brain neuroplasticity, adipocyte metabolism, bone mineralization, endothelium repair and cell growth arrest in colon and breast cancer, among other processes. Repeated skeletal muscle contraction induces the production and secretion of myokines, which have a wide range of functions in different tissues and organs. This new role of skeletal muscle as a secretory organ means skeletal muscle contraction could be a key player in the prevention and/or management of chronic disease. However, some individuals are not capable of optimal physical exercise in terms of adequate duration, intensity or muscles involved, and therefore they may be virtually deprived…
Load progression criteria in exercise programmes in lower limb tendinopathy: a systematic review
2020
ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to summarise and analyse the current literature about what progression criteria are applied in loading exercise programmes in lower limb tendinopathies and their evidence and effectiveness.DesignSystematic review.MethodsPubMed, Embase, Scopus and PEDrowere searched from inception to 24 September 2020. The inclusion criteria were randomised controlled trials that included patients with midportion Achilles, patellar or gluteal tendinopathy; assessed function, pain or performance; included at least one group where progressive physical exercise was administered as monotherapy; included at least a control group. We excluded studies that included subjects w…
Estudio comparativo de los efectos del ejercicio físico de baja intensidad, de la estimulación magnética transcraneal y de la terapia con oxígeno hip…

Introducción: La fibromialgia (FM) es un síndrome complejo que se caracteriza por dolor crónico difuso y generalizado en el sistema musculoesquelético, acompañado de otros síntomas, tales como fatiga, alteraciones del sueño, parestesias y rigidez articular. Estos síntomas provocan una disminución de la capacidad funcional y, en consecuencia, de la calidad de vida de la persona afectada. En este síndrome también se ven alteradas la dimensión emocional en aspectos como la ansiedad, depresión y estrés. La manifestación clínica más común que presentan las personas que sufren FM es el dolor, con una disminución de su umbral, acompañado de hiperalgesia y alodinia. Estas características se han rel…
Prevención de caídas y fracturas mediante un programa de ejercicios para pacientes con osteoporosis y osteopenia
2013
INTRODUCCIÓN: La osteoporosis es una enfermedad generalizada del sistema esquelético con una disminución de la densidad mineral ósea, con un mayor riesgo de padecer fracturas. Representa un elevado impacto sobre el presupuesto global sanitario. En aras de disminuir la factura económica y para mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes, la prevención es fundamental. OBJETIVOS: - Demostrar que la práctica de un programa de ejercicios pautados durante un periodo de 9 meses en población mayor de la comunidad conlleva una disminución de la prevalencia de caídas y fracturas, gracias a mejorar el equilibrio, estabilidad de la marcha, riesgo de padecer caídas, dolor y calidad de vida. - Estudiar d…
Eficacia de una intervención educativa en la adherencia al ejercicio físico de pacientes al finalizar un programa de Rehabilitación Cardíaca
2019
TEMA Los programas de Rehabilitación Cardíaca (RC) en pacientes que han presentado un evento coronario han mostrado mejorar la capacidad funcional y reducir la mortabilidad y morbilidad. Aunque los beneficios de estos programas han sido ampliamente demostrados la adherencia a largo plazo a los mismos continua siendo baja. Algunos estudios muestran que menos del 50% de pacientes que participan en un programa de RC continúan realizando ejercicio físico a los 6 meses de finalizado. Para estimular la adherencia al ejercicio se plantean distintas estrategias: registros periódicos de peso corporal, ejercicio realizado o frecuencia cardíaca, sesiones de ejercicio físico controlado de recuer…
