COVID-19 and thermoregulation-related problems: Practical recommendations
(2021)The COVID-19 pandemic started in the cold months of the year 2020 in the Northern hemisphere. Concerns were raised that the hot season may lead to additional problems as some typical interventions to prevent heat-related ... -
Dietary restraint is associated with adiposity and repeated attempts of food avoidance since early adolescence
(2020)Body composition and fat distribution are predictors of health and are largely affected by eating behavior. The current study aimed to explore the adoption of dietary restraint since early adolescence, its relationship ... -
Does living in urban or rural settings affect aspects of physical fitness in children? An allometric approach
(2005)Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate physical fitness in relation to fatness in urban and rural Greek children by means of allometric scaling. Methods: The sample consisted of 360 (189 urban and 171 rural; ... -
The effect of a diverting ileostomy formation on nutritional status and energy intake of patients undergoing colorectal surgery
(2020)Background and aims: The effects of ileostomy construction and colonic bypass on the general nutritional status of the patients have not yet received much attention. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect ... -
Effectiveness of workplace wellness programmes for dietary habits, overweight, and cardiometabolic health: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2021)Background: The workplace offers a unique opportunity for effective health promotion. We aimed to comprehensively study the effectiveness of multicomponent worksite wellness programmes for improving diet and cardiometabolic ... -
The effects of training with high-speed interval running on muscle performance are modulated by slope
(2021)We examined changes in selected muscle performance parameters after 8 weeks of interval training using two opposite running inclinations. We hypothesized that the uphill training will affect endurance muscle performance ... -
Effects of two workload-matched high-intensity interval training protocols on regional body composition and fat oxidation in obese men
(2021)The effects of two high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols on regional body composition and fat oxidation in men with obesity were compared using a parallel randomized design. Sixteen inactive males (age, 38.9 ± ... -
Eight weeks unsupervised pulmonary rehabilitation in previously hospitalized of sars-cov-2 infection
(2021)The aim of our study was to determine the impact of unsupervised Pulmonary Rehabilitation (uns-PR) on patients recovering from COVID-19, and determine its anthropometric, biological, demographic and fitness correlates. All ... -
Evaluation of respiratory parameters in finswimmers regarding gender, swimming style and distance
(2018)Aim: The purpose of our study was to investigate the differences in the finswimmers’ physiological characteristics, as far as gender, the swimming style and the different swimming distance are concerned. Methods: 52 ... -
Exaggerated haemodynamic and neural responses to involuntary contractions induced by whole-body vibration in normotensive obese versus lean women
(2016)New Findings: What is the central question of this study? In obesity, the exaggerated blood pressure response to voluntary exercise is linked to hypertension, yet the mechanisms are not fully elucidated. We examined whether ... -
Gsh levels affect weight loss in individuals with metabolic syndrome and obesity following dietary therapy
(2018)This study examined the effects of redox status markers on metabolic syndrome (MetS) and obesity before and after dietary intervention and exercise for weight loss. A total of 103 adults suffering from MetS and obesity ... -
Health-Promoting Effects of Serial vsIntegrated Combined Strength and Aerobic Training
(2017)Combined strength and aerobic training programs are widely used for improving markers of physical fitness and health. We compared the efficiency of a serial and an integrated combined training program on health and overall ... -
High intensity, circuit-type integrated neuromuscular training alters energy balance and reduces body mass and fat in obese women: A 10-month training-detraining randomized controlled trial
(2018)This randomized controlled trial examined body mass, body composition, energy balance and performance responses of previously sedentary overweight/obese women to a circuit-type integrated neuromuscular training program ... -
Inverted BMI rather than BMI is a better proxy for percentage of body fat
(2011)Background: Percentage of body fat (BF%) is a known risk factor for a range of healthcare problems but is difficult to measure. An easy to measure proxy is the weight/height(2) ratio known as the Body Mass Index (BMI ... -
Longitudinal modeling of adiposity in periadolescent Greek school children
(2005)Purpose: Obesity has an etiology that is multidimensional in nature. Given the dearth of longitudinal data, we examined changes in adipose tissue (Ad) in relation to physical activity levels (PA), aerobic fitness (AF), and ... -
