Reference values for inspiratory muscle endurance in healthy children and adolescents
(PLoS ONE, 2017)
Aims: To generate reference values for two inspiratory muscle endurance (IME) protocols in healthy children and adolescents. Materials and methods: This is an observational, cross-sectional study, in ...
Diagnostic performance of the physical activity-related question of the GINA questionnaire to detect exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in asthma
(Anales de Pediatría, 2021-07)
Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the item concerning physical activity of the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) asthma control questionnaire for detection ...
Effects of a short-term resistance-training program on heart rate variability in children with cystic fibrosis: a randomized controlled trial
(Frontiers in Physiology, 2021)
Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) affects the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and exercise in healthy children modulates the interaction between sympathetic and parasympathetic activity. This study aimed ...
Association of sleep disorders with heart rate variability in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis
(Sociedade de Pediatria de São Paulo, 2022)
Objective: To assess the association of sleep disorders with the findings of heart rate variability (HRV) in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF). Methods: Cross-sectional study including ...
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate prevents pulmonary fibrosis by regulating extracellular matrix deposition and inducing phenotype reversal of lung myofibroblasts
(PLoS ONE, 2019)
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is the result of chronic injury where fibroblasts become activated and secrete large amounts of extracellular matrix (ECM), leading to impaired fibroblasts degradation followed ...
Interdisciplinary intervention reduces the consumption of ultra-processed foods in adolescents with overweight or obesity
(Saúde e Pesquisa, 2022)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of interdisciplinary intervention with motivational approach on the consumption of ultra-processed foods in overweight or obese adolescents. The method ...
The use of ultrasonography to evaluate muscle thickness and subcutaneous fat in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis
(Revista Paulista de Pediatria, 2018)
Objective: To compare muscle thickness and subcutaneous fat in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and healthy controls using ultrasonography (US), and to correlate US findings with nutritional, clinical and ...
Modified shuttle test distance correlates with peak oxygen uptake in children and adolescents with severe therapy-resistant asthma
(Frontiers in Physiology, 2019)
Introduction: Several tests may be used to assess exercise intolerance in severe therapy-resistant asthma (STRA), including the gold standard cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) and the modified shuttle ...
Heart rate variability, exercise capacity and levels of dailyphysical activity in children and adolescents withmild-to-moderate cystic ̄brosis
(Hong Kong Physiotherapy Journal, 2022)
Background: Autonomic nervous system balance is altered in cystic fibrosis (CF), although its influence on physical fitness has been poorly explored. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association ...
Respiratory physiotherapy interventions used during hospitalization of children and adolescents with asthma
(Scientia Medica, 2021)
Aims: to describe and to compare the airway clearance techniques used for asthma during hospitalization in three pediatric age groups. In addition, we sought to investigate the main reasons for choosing ...
