Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a sleep-related movement disorder, characterized as a sensorimotor disorder, where physical exercise can be used as a non-pharmacological treatment. Among the main causes of RLS, in addition to the hereditary passage, there is the alteration in brain iron homeostasis, which can lead to dysfunction of the dopaminergic, glutamatergic and adenosinergic systems…
The Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a common neurological sensorimotor disorder, manifested as an uncontrollable desire to move the body (legs) to relieve uncomfortable sensations. Recent studies show that variations in the PTPRD gene (Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Type Delta) may increase the chance of developing this syndrome. The treatment for RLS may be pharmacological - medici…

It is often not possible to respect your own chronotype or need for sleep, due to the need to adapt to society's schedules, such as going to school or work. These changes in sleep time are related to eating habits and metabolism, such as controlling food inta…
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder related to limb movement, where symptoms generate discomfort in the lower limbs at night, making it difficult to start and continue sleep, consequently reducing the quality of sleep and life. Among the main causes of RLS are hereditary passage, alteration in brain iron homeostasis, and related to this alteration, excitation to dopami…

Gastrointestinal (GI) distress is one of the main factors that impact the performance and health of ultramarathon runners. The exercise-induced gastrointestinal syndrome is an observed condition in prolonged sports, and might result in several clinical and performance implications. In order to ameliorate these responses, nutritional strategies have been proposed. Prebiotic supplementation…
