The research on the general objective, to determine the relationship between physical activity and the prevalence of overweight and obesity in school adolescents aged 12 to 18 years in the city of Juliaca 2015, the type of basic research, A sample of probabilistic type Of 1488 students from a population of 4813 students (ladies and men) in grades 1 through 5; Of the Secondary Public Educational Institutions: Commerce No. 32, "Peru Birf", "Jose Antonio Encinas", and Polytechnic "Los Andes" of the city of Juliaca. The research was carried out during the months of April to August of the year 2015. The results show that there is a low association of the prevalence of overweight with physical activity, finding a correlation of 0.002 being non-significant (sig.> 0,05). Regarding obesity, we found an inversely proportional association of -0.0183 being non-significant (sig.> 0,05). The pro...

During aging, genetic and environmental factors carry an increased risk of diseases that facilitate the loss of function. High-intensity resistance training has been shown to lead to health benefits in older adults, however, its use is limited in this population. Recently, hypoxic resistance training (HRT) has been presented as a viable alternative in rehabilitation therapy for older adults, however, information is scarce in this regard. Thus, the objective of this study was to collect current knowledge about HRT in older adults, as well as the benefits for their health. To do this, a selective search was carried out for articles published in the last 6 years on the effects of HRT in older people in the Pubmed database. The search resulted in 227 articles, of which 18 were selected for this review. Three types of training were identified: blood flow restriction therapy (BFRT), resistance...

“Background: The academic and emotional challenges faced by medical students can affect critical thinking and may also contribute to the development of increased generalized anxiety. Similarly, critical thinking and generalized anxiety can impact study satisfaction through the mediating mechanism of academic self-efficacy. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the mediating role of academic self-efficacy between critical thinking and generalized anxiety in study satisfaction among medical students. Methods: A cross-sectional and explanatory study was conducted involving 259 Peruvian medical students aged between 18 and 35 (M = 20.29, SD = 2.84). The evaluation was based on self-reported questionnaires covering critical thinking, generalized anxiety, academic self-efficacy, and study satisfaction. Furthermore, a structural equation modeling (SEM) and mediation approach was empl...
