Clinical trials

Obesity is a health condition caused by excessive accumulation of body fat. This condition is linked to the development of chronic diseases and also places increased stress on the respiratory system, leading to respiratory disorders, exacerbation of preexisting respiratory conditions, and a decline in physical capacity and exercise tolerance. Respiratory muscle training has been shown to have beneficial effects on respiratory function in these patients, although the effects this strategy has on other metabolic and physiological aspects related to exercise and obesity that are affected remain unclear.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) progressively damages the nerve cells responsible for voluntary muscle movement. Over time, this leads to weakness in different muscles such as those used for movement or breathing. Breathing problems are one of the main causes of complications and reduced survival in people with ALS. This happens because the inspiratory muscles-those that help draw air into the lungs-gradually lose strength. The study has the aim to explore the benefits of training inspiratory muscles in ALS patients in order to maintain the setrength of these muscles for as long as possible and look the impact on respiratory function.

Lifestyle interventions can alleviate Parkinson's Disease (PD) symptoms and delay disease progression. The novelty of this project lies in the development of an innovative smart platform that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and predictive models to offer a groundbreaking solution that not only prevents disease progression but also significantly improves the well-being of patients with PD. For this, the technological smart platform will encompass 50 clinical variables, and a comprehensive range of other 50 supplementary variables, validated in a database with more than 1500 patients. The smart platform will include a user-friendly interface with different user profiles and a scalable back end with AI-based monitoring and prediction modules. This will offer primary prevention, early detection, and ongoing monitoring by specialized medical professionals at home and in hospitals.

The purpose of this study protocol is to assess the effect of concurrent aerobic and resistance training in patients with type 2 diabetes on vitamin D treatment

This study evaluates the dietary intake of professional female footballers against nutritional guidelines, analysing differences by age, position, and location (UK vs Spain). Using a cross-sectional design, it will include 20-30 players per club from four clubs, aged 18+, collected via the Snap-N-Send method and analysed with Nutritics software. Variables include energy intake, macronutrients, and micronutrients, with data assessed using MANOVA, t-tests, and Shapiro-Wilk tests. The aim is to determine dietary adequacy and provide insights to improve nutrition education and wellbeing for female athletes.
