    “Correlación entre el deterioro cognitivo y movilidad articular de miembro inferior en adultos mayores que presentan trastornos asociados a la demencia.”
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Terapia Física, 2019-02-01) Osorio Logroño, Valeria Alexandra; Latta Sánchez, María Augusta Lcda. Mg.
    Currently there are few relevant data on the topic in Ecuador, so that research is important since it will investigate on the cognitive decline and joint mobility of the lower limb in older adults who have disorders associated with dementia, since at the time of performing dual task or walking exercises these are motor acts where there is the combined action between cognitive function and the musculo-skeletal system. The research according to the method of study is descriptive and observational. In addition it is quali-quantitative as used the mini-mental test and the statistical data that shows the platform are handled. The study was conducted in the Telerehabilitation and Analysis Laboratory of the human body of the Physical Therapy Course at the Faculty of Health Sciences. The research line of this study is epidemiology. And it is concluded that there is a correlation between cognitive impairment and joint mobility of the lower limb, since all the older adults of the research have cognitive impairment and do not reach the standard values, therefore they have lower joint range.

    Programa de entrenamiento interválico de alta intensidad sobre la aptitud cardiorrespiratoria de adultos con sobrepeso

    Introduction: Adults who have long work days and little physical activity are more likely to be overweight and, in general, have poor cardiorespiratory fitness (low VO2Max levels). The presence of these factors has been shown to make people more susceptible to cardiovascular diseases. This is why high-intensity interval training has been shown to improve VO2Máx values. Objectives: The main objective of the research was to determine the effects of a high-intensity interval training program on cardiorespiratory fitness, as well as to evaluate the body mass index, pre and post-intervention aerobic capacity of overweight adults in the Latacunga Fire Department during the period from February to July 2024. Materials and Methods: It is an observational analytical study, with a prospective longitudinal design, in two parts, first a bibliographic search was carried out in order to develop a high-intensity interval training program with a duration of 15 weeks, then the participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were evaluated using the Queen’s College Step Test, then the previously developed training program was applied and the participants were re-evaluated after its application with the aforementioned test in order to evaluate aerobic capacity. The sample consisted of 30 participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A Tstudent test and Pearson correlation were performed with the SPSS-26 program. Results: Once the training program was applied to the training program was applied to the overweight adults who participated in the study and the evaluations were carried out, the VO2Max values were compared before and after training, where the p value (0.000) is less than alpha (0.05). Therefore, the results of the t-test suggest that there is a significant difference in the VO2Max pre and post training. On the other hand, the results of the Pearson correlation (0.970) reinforce the effectiveness of the training program, showing that the means are closely related and the apparent linear correlation indicates that the training had a positive effect on the measurement of cardiorespiratory capacity. Conclusion: The high intensity interval training program improves the cardiorespiratory fitness of overweight adults since the differences were statistically significant.
