Concurrent Exercise Interventions in Breast Cancer Survivors with Cancer-relate Fatigue
We compared the effects of two concurrent supervised training interventions in breast cancer survivors with cancer-related fatigue at baseline. Both interventions lasted 16 weeks and included the same resistance exercises, but the aerobic component was supervised and more intense in the former, i.e., rating of perceived exertion 7-8 (high intensity) versus 6 (moderate intensity) on a scale of 1-10.
Remotely Supervised Exercise during the COVID-19 Pandemic versus in-Person-Supervised Exercise in Achieving Long-Term Adherence to a Healthy Lifestyle
The aim of the study was to compare adherence to a healthy lifestyle 6 months after completing a multicomponent intervention with virtually supervised physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic versus a multicomponent intervention with face-to-face supervised physical exercise prior to the COVID-19 pandemic in university employees with unhealthy habits predisposed to change. -19 in university employees with unhealthy habits and predisposed to change.
Effectiveness of Workplace Exercise Interventions on Body Composition: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
The aim of this review was to analyse the effectiveness of workplace exercise interventions on body composition (BC).
The conclusion was that the most effective workplace exercise interventions for improving BC were a combination of supervised moderate-intensity aerobic and strength training for at least 4 months.
Research projects
Effect of a strength training programme on improving body composition, quality of life and emerging biomarkers in allogeneic transplant patients (TRASFORCE Project): a randomised controlled pilot study
The aim of this project is to study the effect of a telematic exercise programme in allogeneic transplant patients, both pre- and post-transplant. The hypothesis of this project is that a pre-transplant physical exercise intervention improves quality of life and body composition in the pre- and post-transplant periods compared to the control group.
Association of Alpha Klotho protein with physical fitness, lung function and morbidity and the effect of telematic exercise in adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CFKloE)
This project is a continuation of the main research line of the ESBIDA group, which began to analyse the effectiveness of exercise interventions in paediatric cystic fibrosis patients in 2009. With this study, longitudinal data will be obtained by following up 45 adults who participated in previous projects in their childhood, allowing, in addition, to analyse the prognosis of the disease.
Bone mineral density response to concurrent high-intensity exercise in breast and colorectal cancer survivors (CAEDO)
The main objective of this study is to obtain evidence of the impact of a concurrent strength and resistance exercise intervention on bone mineral density and sclerostin.
In addition, to analyse the influence of such exercise on body composition, cardiorespiratory capacity, strength and different blood biomarkers.
