متن کاملMeasuring Habitual Physical Activity in Neuromuscular Disorders: A Systematic Review
BACKGROUND Free-living or habitual physical activity (HPA) refers to someone's performance in his or her free-living environment. Neuromuscular disorders (NMD) manifest through HPA, and the observation of HPA can be used to identify clinical risks and to quantify outcomes in research. This review summarizes and analyses previous studies reporting the assessment of HPA in NMD, and may serve as t...
متن کاملCYSTIC FIBROSIS Altered tissue distribution in adults with cystic fibrosis
Background: Regional body composition was determined in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). Our hypothesis was that dual energy x ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning could assess the fat free mass, bone mineral content, and fat mass and determine the distribution of the changes. Method: Height squared indices were derived for fat mass (FMI), fat free mass (FFMI), and bone mineral content (BMCI) of ...
متن کاملRelationship between daily physical activity and aerobic fitness in adults with cystic fibrosis
BACKGROUND The best clinical practice to investigate aerobic fitness includes measurements obtained during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), however it remains an underutilised clinical measure in cystic fibrosis (CF). To investigate this further, different methods of quantifying exercise capacity in CF are required. The possibility that measuring physical activity (PA) by a portable acc...
