Being educational, the program also aimed to promote learning and self-control in the practice of physical activity and in the food choices of this population. Methodology: 40 patients overweight or obese binge eating adults aged between 30 and 60 years participated in the study. Participants were assigned to an experimental group (EG)(N = 23), to which the program was applied or a control group (CG)(N = 17). The study lasted eight months, where an initial and final evaluation was carried out, in order to verify the benefits obtained through this program. The program consisted of 47 one-hour, twice-a-week group practice sessions, one weekly self-help session, and three nutritional monitoring sessions throughout the program. Results: There were significant improvements in the experimental group in the body composition, namely in the percentage of fat mass, fat free mass, fat mass in the trunk, visceral index and metabolic age. In physical fitness, improvements were also seen in the experimental group, specifically in flexibility and handgrip strength. Conclusion: A multidisciplinary program involving regular physical exercise and nutritional educationled to achieve improvements in physical fitness and body composition in overweight and obese binge-eating disorder patients.展开更多

According to statistics of the INS-Colombia for July 2016, 68% of the population infected by ZIKV (confirmed cases) are pregnant women. Furthermore, the Quindío department belongs to the states with more than 50% of the total infected persons being pregnant women. Taking into account those characteristics, a theoretical model is proposed and analyzed to describe the population dynamics considering the sexual and vectorial transmission of ZIKV, with special emphasis in the consequences of the non-vectorial transmission in the population. The obtained results with simulations through the beta parameter indicate that the probability of sexual transmission between susceptible women and infected men points out the importance of campaigns to inculcate prevention measures for the safe sexual relationships between ZIKV infected population.展开更多
