Article Abstract
Objectives: The main objective of the study was to analyze the characteristics of physical activity in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Secondarily, the association between the number of steps per day and the baseline sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the sample was evaluated.
Methods: A multicenter longitudinal descriptive study was carried out in four Primary Care centers in Madrid. The participants were 80 people diagnosed with COPD. In a face-to-face interview, sociodemographic information and clinical characteristics were collected. Physical activity was measured over a week with a three-axis accelerometer that recorded wear time, number of steps per day, walking time, and time spent performing light, moderate, vigorous, and very vigorous physical activity.
Results: The average time of use of the accelerometer was 6.84 ± 0.4 days. The number of daily steps taken was 6902.24 ± 3994.01 with a walking time of 78.07 ± 41.85 min/day. The time of light physical activity was 69.66 ± 46.42 min/day, of moderate activity 92.76 ± 42.91 min/day, of vigorous activity 9.93 ± 13.6 min/day and of very active activity vigorous 0.26 ± 0.64 min/day.
Conclusions: The participants mainly carried out physical activity of light and moderate intensity, complying with current recommendations, while the time dedicated to vigorous and very vigorous activities was reduced and was insufficient.

In wheat allergy dependent on augmentation factors (WALDA), allergic reactions occur when wheat ingestion is combined with exercise or rarely other augmentation factors. We analyzed clinical characteristics and disease burden in recreationally active and trained individuals with WALDA diagnosed by oral challenge test. Clinical characteristics, serological data, and quality of life (QOL) questionnaires were analyzed and completed with follow-up interviews.

Introduction: People with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases are advised to do aerobic exercise for symptom relief and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Continuous exercise at an intensity causing a rate of perceived exertion of 15, on a 6-20-point Borg scale, exemplifies such exercise. Also, the instruction "Now you need to increase your heart rate" is used before aerobic exercise.

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the effects of daily consumption of white potatoes compared with white rice on cardiometabolic health in individuals with type-2 diabetes (T2D).
Objective: To determine the effects of white potato consumption compared to white rice (a commonly consumed refined grain) on indices of glycemic control and cardiovascular health in individuals with overweight or obesity and T2D.
Methods: In this randomized crossover study, comparative control trial, 24 adults with T2D [45-80 y, body mass index (kg/m) 25-40] consumed baked white potatoes (100 g) or calorie-matched white rice (75 g) daily for 12 wk, separated by a 2-wk washout, with assessments of glycemic control, lipids, inflammation, blood pressure, endothelial function, and body composition at baseline (only 1 baseline visit included as a covariate in statistical analyses), 6 wk, and 12 wk.
Contrasting Realities in Injury Management: Strategies Employed by Performance Nutritionists and Dietitians in Ireland (Part A).
Curr Dev Nutr
September 2025
Department of Sport, Exercise and Nutrition, Atlantic Technological University, Galway, Ireland.
Background: Nutrition underpins athletic performance, enhancing training, reducing injury risk, and accelerating recovery. In the event of an injury, performance dietitians (PDs) and nutritionists' (PNs) play a vital role by tailoring nutritional strategies to support tissue repair, optimize athlete's recoveries, and return to play.
Objectives: This study explored nutritional strategies recommended and employed by Irish PDs and PNs to assess, manage, and support athletes during the initial stages of sports-related injuries.
