(2009-02)
Purpose:
This study investigated the effects of short-term dietary changes on metabolism and duathlon performance.
Methods:
Eleven men underwent a high-fat (HF; >65% fat from energy) or a high-carbohydrate (CHO; HC) ...
Predictive Validity of the Body Adiposity Index in Costa Rican Students
(2016)
Objective: To verify the validity of the body adiposity index (BAI) in a sample of Costa Rican students. Methods: Volunteers were 93 females (mean age 5 18.6 6 2.4 years) and 106 males (mean age 5 19.2 6 2.8 years). ...
Fitness and cognitive performance in urban Latin Americans
(2016)
Our group recently
conducted a randomized clinical
trial in US dwelling older adults
that indicated increasing
cardiorespiratory fitness (measured
by VO2 peak on treadmill)
resulted in better visuospatial
cognition ...
A Comparison of Nutritional Habits, Physical Function and Psychological Constructs between Urban and Rural Costa Rican Older Adults
(2019)
Purpose: To compare nutritional habits, physical function and psychological constructs between Costa Rican older adults from urban and rural zones. Methods: Male and female older adults aged ≥ 65 yr. from urban (n = 185) ...
Impact of social support on cognitive vascular risk factors in latino older adults
(2019-11-15)
Objective: Central Americans have a cardiovascular disease (CVD) health advantage, as they are half as likely to carry CVD
as European Americans, despite having an equivalent degree of vascular risk factors (VRFs). We ...
C-20 Cardiorespiratory Fitness Predicts Processing Speed Performance in Urban Latin Americans
(2019-07-29)
Objective
There is evidence that cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) protects against age-related declines in processing speed (PS), but studies investigating older adults living in low and middle-income countries are lacking. ...

Development of a VO2Peak prediction equation in elderly
(2017)
Introduction. Aging decreases aerobic capacity as determined by direct maximal tests (Hassel et al. 2015). There are indirect methods to assess aerobic capacity such as the 6-min walking test (6MWT). Some equations to ...
