ABSTRACT
The relationship between multiple sclerosis (MS) and females is a crucial aspect in the development of the disease, with the ovarian hormonal cycle being a sensitive stage, especially in females with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. The objectives of the study are to identify moderating variables that modify satisfaction with physical activity practice throughout the menstrual cycle (MC) in females in or out of their MC, during high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and strength training sessions and to compare the acute effects of different types of physical activity sessions in females with and without MS. This protocol is the methodology used in the EMMA Study, a randomised, single-blind crossover trial study conducted in females with MS who were matched 1:1, based on age, lifestyle factors and country of residence, with females without MS, to analyse the effect of physical activity practice on satisfaction, functionality, fatigue and inflammatory profile through their MC. Participants will visit the facilities approximately 10 times (4 preliminary familiarisation visits and 6 visits to carry out a physical activity session in each phase of the MC) for 3-4 months. A total sample of 30 females (15 females without MS and 15 with MS) is necessary for the study. The evaluation will comprise clinical, nutritional and psychological interviews, including different variables. It is hypothesised during the luteal phase, females with MS are expected to exhibit different acute responses to HIIT and strength training sessions as compared with females without the disease. Before starting the study, all participants will read and sign an informed consent form. Trial registration number: This research protocol is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov to ensure transparency and accessibility of study information (NCT06105463). The university's ethics committee number for this study is UALBIO2022/048.
ABSTRACT
El entrenamiento con discapacitados intelectuales no ha sido suficientemente estudiado, siendo necesario conocer esta temática para muchos profesionales. Este trabajo pretende saber más sobre percepción del esfuerzo, fatiga y grado de dificultad técnica que presentan nadadores con y sin Síndrome de Asperger. Para ello se realizó un test de 8x100 metros libres progresivos finalizando a intensidad máxima. Se utilizó la escala de Borg para conocer las percepciones de esfuerzo y fatiga y una pregunta sobre el grado de dificultad técnica, tanto en nadadores Asperger como no. De los tres aspectos estudiados, no se aprecian diferencias de percepción en esfuerzo y fatiga, no ocurriendo lo mismo con el grado de dificultad técnica, donde los nadadores Asperger muestran dificultad para diferenciar la dificultad técnica real, considerando todos los ejercicios de la misma dificultad e imposibilitando un valor definido que determine el grado de correlación de sus respuestas con la dificultad real objetiva
The training focus to the intellectual disabled people has not been studied enough, even though that professionals need to know more about this topic. The main aim of this work is to know better how swimmers with and without Asperger Syndrome perceive the effort, fatigue, and the degree of the technical difficulty. To reach this goal, a free style test of 8x100 meters and the Borg scale was used (to study the perceptions of the effort and the fatigue), as well as a question about the degree of the technical difficulty. No differences were found with respect to the perception of the effort and the fatigue but Asperger swimmers show more trouble to assess the degree of the technical difficulty, even when all the exercises have the same difficulty. So, it seems hard to find an objective value to determine the degree of correlation of its answers with the actual difficulty
