(2026) Moreno González, Laura; Alonso Callejo, Antonio; Felipe, José Luis; Manzano Carrasco, Samuel; Gallardo, Leonor; García Unanue, Jorge
Muscular strength in the lower body during childhood and adolescence is crucial for determining various health indicators. While previous reviews have examined the benefits of health-related muscular fitness (MF) in youth, this study aims to analyse a specific indicator of muscular fitness, focusing on current evidence regarding lower-limb muscular strength and power tests as predictors of health parameters in children and adolescents.
Physical fitness and health-related quality of life in nursing students: a cross-sectional study with a gender perspective
(2026) Bermejo Cantarero, Alberto; Mazoteras Pardo, Victoria; Recio Vivas, Ana María; Muñoz de Morales Romero, Laura; Expósito González, Raúl; Martínez Rodríguez, Sandra; Mansilla Domínguez, José Miguel
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a key indicator of well-being among university students, who are often exposed to stress and unhealthy lifestyles. Students enrolled in nursing programs represent a specific subgroup within the university population, characterized by high academic demands and early exposure to health-related knowledge and practices. Although higher physical fitness (PF) levels have been associated with better HRQoL, the contribution of specific PF components and potential gender differences has been insufficiently explored. This study aimed to examine the association between PF and HRQoL in nursing students, with a focus on gender differences and the role of individual PF components across HRQoL dimensions.
