[EN] Background: Efforts to synthesise existing knowledge concerning the effects of exercise interventions on obesity (i.e. changes in body weight and composition) have been made, but scientific evidence in this matter is still limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to identify and critically analyse the best available evidence regarding the use of physical exercise as a strategy to attenuate obesity through its effects on adiposity-related anthropometric parameters in people with intellectual disability (ID). Methods: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, a literature search was performed using PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL and the Cochrane Library through specific keywords up to July 2020. The search adhered to the population, intervention, comparison and outcome strategy. Randomised controlled trials addressing the effects of the exercise intervention on adiposity-related anthropometric parameters (body mass index, waist circumference, waist–hip ratio, fat percentage or body weight) in children, adolescents and adults with ID were included. The methodological quality of the studies found was evaluated through the PEDro scale. Results: A total of nine investigations with children and/or adolescents (10–19 years) and 10 investigations with adults (18–70 years) were selected, mostly experiencing mild and moderate ID. Methodological quality was fair in 13 of these publications, good in five and excellent in one. Seventeen trials reported comparable baseline and post-intervention data for the intervention and control groups and were included in the meta-analysis. In nine studies, the intervention group performed a cardiovascular training programme. Five papers described a combined training programme. Two trials executed whole-body vibration training programmes, and one publication proposed balance training as the primary intervention. According to the meta-analysis results, the reviewed studi

[ES] Los partidos de baloncesto por reglamento, tienen un descanso de 10-15 minutos entre las dos partes que podría no permitir una recuperación completa de la fatiga. Las actividades de naturaleza pasiva que suelen tener lugar durante estos descansos podrían ser perjudiciales para el rendimiento de la segunda parte. De hecho, investigaciones anteriores han demostrado que las prácticas pasivas en el descanso no son una estrategia óptima tanto para los jugadores profesionales como para los aficionados. Para evitar una disminución del rendimiento deportivo en el segundo tiempo, las actividades de re-calentamiento se presentan como posible solución a estos problemas. Sin embargo, a pesar de la evidencia científica que indican el impacto positivo de las actividades de re-calentamiento en el rendimiento posterior de los jugadores, la mayoría de los entrenadores siguen diseñando sus estrategias basándose en sus propias experiencias. De este modo, parece necesario que los entrenadores y científicos del deporte dispongan de información valiosa sobre cómo desarrollar re-calentamiento para optimizar el rendimiento y reducir el riesgo de lesiones. El objetivo principal de esta tesis es evaluar la influencia del re-calentamiento en jugadoras de baloncesto durante el descanso de medio tiempo. Con este fin, se llevaron a cabo tres fases: i) realización de una revisión sistemática para analizar la evidencia científica existente sobre el re-calentamiento. ii) elaboración de un estudio descriptivo transversal, para determinar los principales factores que influyen en la realización del re-calentamiento en los equipos de baloncesto españoles. iii) estudios contrabalanceados cruzados, con el fin de identificar los efectos de estas estrategias en jóvenes jugadoras de baloncesto. El análisis de los principales resultados de la memoria de tesis sugiere que la realización de estrategias de re-calentamiento de corta duración, no presenta resultados negativos sobre las variables observadas., [EN] Basketball matches, by regulation, have a 10-15 minute break between halves that might not allow for a complete recovery from fatigue. The passive activities that generally occur during these breaks could be detrimental to second-half performance. Indeed, research has shown that passive half-time practices are not an optimal strategy for both professional and amateur players. In order to avoid a decline in sport performance in second half, re-warm-up activities could help avoid these problems. However, despite scientific evidence indicating the positive impact re-warm-up activities had on the players' subsequent physical and technical performance, most coaches continue to design their half-time strategies based on experience. Thus, coaches and sports scientists need to have valuable information at hand regarding how to develop re-warm-up to optimize athletes’ performance and reduce injury risk. The present thesis has been proposed as the main objective to evaluate the influence of re-warming up in basketball players during half-time. For this purpose, three phases were defined: i) a systematic review was carried out to analyse the scientific evidence on re-warm-up to this moment. ii) a descriptive cross-sectional study to determine the main factors that influence the performance of re-warm-up strategies in Spanish basketball teams. iii) cross-over and counterbalanced studies to identify the effects of these strategies in young female basketball players. The analysis of the main results of the thesis report suggests that the implementation of short re-warm-up strategies does not have negative results on the observed variables. On the other hand, although the differences were not significant, performing re-warm-up strategies at half-time could help to mitigate the decrease of lower body power. In summary, the completion of this thesis has allowed us to verify the influence of re-warm-up in basketball players during the half-time break, and the following conclusio
