Contribución de la educación física a las recomendaciones diarias de actividad física en adolescentes según el género
2015
Introducción: la institucionalización de la escuela como contexto propicio para el incremento de la actividad física (AF) saludable, la disparidad de resultados en el contexto internacional y la escasez de estudios españoles con medición objetiva en el marco de la Educación Física (EF) hacen necesaria la profundización en esta línea de investigación. Objetivos: los objetivos fueron determinar niveles objetivos de AF durante las clases de EF en adolescentes, comprobar su contribución a la AF diaria recomendable e identificar posibles diferencias según el género. Métodos: una muestra de 337 escolares (211 varones y 183 mujeres), de 13 a 16 años, participaron en esta investigación. La AF se es…

Diagnostic problems and postnatal follow-up in congenital toxoplasmosis
2007
Aim. In order to assess the consequences of different clinica] approaches in the prenata] management of congenital toxoplasmosis, we retrospectively reviewed 58 pregnant women with Toxoplasma seroconversion and prospec tively enrolled their 59 infants, referred to us from 1999 to 2004. Metbods. Data on clinica!, laboratocy and de mographic characteristics of the pregnant women were collected. Their children were entered intoa 48-month follow-up progcamme in which clinica , instrumental, ophthalmo logic and serologic evaluations were carried out at birth, at 1, 3, 6, 9, 15, 18, 24, 36 and at 48 months of life. Paediatric treatment with Spiramycin alone or alternated with Pyrime thamine-S…
Potential Cyclic Steps in a Gully System of the Gulf of Palermo (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea)
2016
Multibeam bathymetric data revealed the occurrence of atrain of bedforms along a gully system in the Gulf of Palermo, Southern Tyrrhenian Sea. The observed gullies, located in the westernmost sector of the Gulf of Palermo, incise the outer shelf at a depth of 120 m and converge at the Zafferano Canyon, connecting to the Palermo Basin at a the depth of 1300 m. Bedforms develop along these gullies and along the thalweg of the canyon, displaying an average wavelength of 200 m, with maximum values of 340 m. Their gully floor location combined with their wave length, upslope asymmetry and crescent shape point to a possible cyclic steporigin of these bedforms. Preliminary numerical modeling sugge…

Localization and separation of solutions for Fredholm integral equations
2020
[EN] In this paper, we establish a qualitative study of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations, where we will carry out a study on the localization and separation of solutions. Moreover, we consider an efficient algorithm to approximate a solution. To do this, we study the semilocal convergence of an efficient third order iterative scheme for solving nonlinear Fredholm integral equations under mild conditions. The novelty of our work lies in the fact that this study involves first order Frechet derivative and mild conditions. A numerical example involving nonlinear Fredholm integral equations, is solved to show the domains of existence and uniqueness of solutions. The applicability of the it…
Convergent Validity of a Physical Activity Questionnaire against Objectively Measured Physical Activity in Adults: The Cardiovascular Risk in Young F…
2017
Background: Traditionally, a self-reported questionnaire has been a cost-effective method of gathering information about physical activity (PA). An objective measurement, such as the use of a pedometer, can be used to validate the findings of a PA questionnaire in a large population. Objective: The study objective was to determine the convergent validity of a PA questionnaire against objectively measured PA in adults obtained with the use of a pedometer. Methods: Data from the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study (YFS) were collected from 1853 participants aged 30 - 45 years. The participants completed a self-reported questionnaire that included items on leisure time, commuting and habi…
Accelerometer-Measured Physical Activity Levels and Patterns Vary in an Age- and Sex-Dependent Fashion among Finnish Children and Adolescents
2022
Background: The purpose of this study was to measure physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and hour-by-hour PA patterns with an accelerometer in a population-based sample of Finnish children and adolescents. Methods: A total of 3274 participants (3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th graders) from 176 schools wore a hip-worn triaxial accelerometer for seven days during waking hours. Mean amplitude deviation of the acceleration data was used to assess PA intensity that was converted to metabolic equivalents and categorized into light, moderate, and vigorous PA. Angle for posture estimation was used to measure SB and standing. Results: The majority of participants’ PA consisted of light PA, and they …
La vida cotidiana de los vecinos de Manila a través de sus testamentos e inventarios de bienes
2019
With the general objective indicated in its title, this work tries to highlight relevant aspects in the continuity of the Spanish domain in the Philippines, dependent on the maintenance of the Spanish capital. The inevitable selection of topics has lead the preferences of this work towards the residents collaboration to defend the city, the conversion of many of them into traders of exotic products and singular slaves owners, and their collaboration to an incredible miscegenation due to the ethnic variety. On the other hand, to follow the footsteps of the first generation of residents in Manila, at the end of the 16th century and during the 17th century, this work gives us some information …
Relationship between pedometer-determined physical activity and low back pain in middle aged Finnish population (30-45) : "The Young Finns Study"
2016
Undoubtedly, modern sedentary lifestyle is a severe threat factor for various health-related concerns. Engagement in regular physical activity is requisite to achieve physiological and psychological health benefits and to alleviate the risk for many undesirable health outcomes including musculoskeletal, cardiovascular disease, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. Staying physically active is recommended in the deterrence and management of low back pain. Lately, an alternative guideline about physical activity has been introduced, which is more realistic than the 30 minutes/day recommendation. This guideline says that attaining 10,000 steps/day improves health. Therefore, pedometers have bec…
