- Association between milk intake, leisure-time physical activity and abdominal obesity in girls 2012Publication . Abreu, Sandra; Santos, Rute; Moreira, Carla; Santos, Paula Clara; Vale, Susana; Soares-Miranda, Luísa; Mota, Jorge; Moreira, PedroDiet and physical activity are recognized as important factors to prevent abdominal obesity (AO), which is strongly associated with chronic disease (type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc.).
- Atividade física na gravidez e a sua influência nos ganhos ponderaisPublication . Santos, Paula Clara; Couto, Miriam; Soares, Luísa; Abreu, Sandra; Moreira, Carla; Silva, Pedro; Ferreira, Margarida; Santos, Rute; Moreira, Pedro; Montenegro, Nuno; Mota, JorgeComparativamente às grávidas com um peso saudável, as grávidas com excesso de peso ou obesidade têm um aumentado de diabetes gestacional, pré-eclâmpsia, parto induzido, cesariana, prematuridade e macrossomia. Existem várias recomendações quanto à prática de atividade física. Vários estudos revelam que esta prática tem efeitos positivos no que diz respeito ao cumprimento das recomendações do ganho ponderal na gravidez. No entanto, alguns estudos revelaram não haver diferenças no ganho ponderal materno entre grávidas que praticam e as que não praticam exercício.
- Body fatness, cardiorespiratory fitness and inflammatory markers In adolescentsPublication . Moreira, Carla; Abreu, Sandra; Santos, Paula C.; Lopes, LuísThe alarming increase in obesity worldwide and the decrease in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels among adolescents are of concern in the development of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between body fatness, CRF, and inflammatory markers [C-reactive protein (C-RP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and leptin] in a sample of Portuguese adolescents. We assessed the hypothesis that adolescents with higher body fatness and lower CRF levels will have an increased level of inflammatory markers. A cross-sectional school-based study was conducted on 529 Portuguese adolescents (268 girls) aged 12-18 years (mean age 14.3±1.7). Body fatness (BF) was assessed using the Bioelectric Impedance Analysis. Intravenous blood samples were taken after an overnight fast to determine inflammatory markers (C-RP, IL-6, TNF-α, and leptin). CRF was measured with the 20m-Shuttle-Run-Test from the Fitnessgram battery test as number of laps. Pearson correlation was used for bivariate associations between BF, CRF and inflammatory markers. Linear regression analyses were used to examine the association between BF, CRF and inflammation markers with adjustments for age and sex. Pearson’s correlation analyses, adjusted for age and sex, revealed that BF was positively correlated with leptin (r=0.640, P <0.001) and C-RP (r=0.235, P <0.001), and negatively correlated with CRF (r= -0.473, P <0.001) whereas CRF was inversely correlated leptin (r= -0.420, P <0.001) and C-RP (r= –0.226, P <0.001). Among the inflammatory markers leptin (β= 0.188, p<0.001) and C-RP (β= 0.030, p<0.05) were positively associated with BF whereas leptin (β= -0,160, p<0.001) and C-RP (β= -0.56, p<0.001) were inversely associated with CRF, conversely, TNF-α (β= 0.118, p<0.05) showed a positive association with CRF. No associations were found between BF, CRF and IL-6. Our findings emphasize the importance of increasing CRF levels and decrease body fatness among adolescents in order to prevent metabolic abnormalities predisposed to or associated inflammation and thus contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases later in life.
- Gestational weight gain and relationship with sedentary physical activity in the second trimester of pregnancyPublication . Moreira, Sofia; Santos, Paula Clara; Mesquita, Cristina; Lopes, Sofia; Couto, Miriam; Abreu, Sandra; Mota, JorgePregnancy is phase of big changes for women. Although the growing evidence about the benefits of a physically active lifestyle during pregnancy is still high the number of sedentary pregnant or that interrupt physical exercise during pregnancy. Among other consequences, physical inactivity can be related to weight gain during pregnancy. To evaluate the weight gain in the second trimester of pregnancy and verify if the sedentary physical activity influences this weight gain.
- A influência da atividade física na autoestima de mulheres durante a gravidezPublication . Santos, Paula Clara; Ferreira, Marta Isabel; Teixeira, Ricardo João; Couto, Miriam; Abreu, Sandra; Moreira, Carla; Mota, JorgeAnalisar o cumprimento das recomendações para a prática da atividade física (AF) propostas pelo American College of Sports Medicine no primeiro (1T) e segundo trimestre (2T) de gestação; determinar se as variáveis sócioeconómicas (VSC) influenciam a autoestima (AE); explorara se existem diferenças na AE nas gestantes que realizavam ou não atividade física estruturada (AFE) antes da gravidez; analisar se existem diferenças entre a AE das gestantes que cumprem ou não as recomendações ACSM durant a gravidez.
- Influência do cumprimento das recomendações de atividade física para grávidas na frequência cardíaca e tensão arterialPublication . Santos, Paula Clara; Couto, Miriam; Abreu, Sandra; Moreira, Carla; Ferreira, Margarida; Correia, Carla LopesVerificar se o cumprimento das recomendações da American College os Sports ande Medicine (ACSM) para a atividade física (AF) na gravidez durante o primeiro e segundo trimestre, tem influência na Frequência Cardíaca (FC), Tensão Arterial Sistólica (TAS) e Diastólica (TAD) de grávidas saudáveis; analisar a influência dos estilos de vida e índice de massa corporal (IMC) pré-gestacional/ganhos ponderais, antes e durante a gravidez, na FC, TAS e TAD, em função do cumprimento das recomendações da ASCM.
- Physical activity, physical fitness and metabolic risk factors in Azorean adolescentsPublication . Moreira, Carla M.; Santos, Rute; Vale, Susana; Santos, Paula Clara; Abreu, Sandra; Soares-Miranda, Luísa; Marques, Ana I.; Mota, JorgeThis study aimed to analyze the relationships between metabolic risk factors (MRF) with physical activity (PA) and physical fitness (PF) in a sample of Azorean adolescents.
- The sedentary physical activity of pregnant women in the second trimester and the relationship with neonatal outcomesPublication . Santos, Vanessa da Silva; Santos, Paula Clara; Mesquita, Cristina; Lopes, Sofia; Couto, Miriam; Abreu, Sandra; Mota, JorgeThe pregnancy might be considered as a condition of risk for the change of habits of physical activity (PA). It’s known that the pregnant women increase their spent time in the sedentary PA with implications in the woman and the fetus health. The moderate and vigorous PA during the pregnancy is recommended as a promoter behavior of the maternal and fetal health. The diary PA of the mother during the pregnancy is an important factor influencer of the weight, of the length and of the cephalic perimeter of the baby at birth. Analyze the relation between the sedentary PA of the woman in the second trimester of pregnancy with the following fetal outcomes at birth: weight, length and cephalic perimeter.
