“…Eating unhealthy food and binge drinking can lead to negative consequences regarding consumers' weight and health (Žandaras et al, 2020). In Latin America, men consume more alcohol than women, which is the case also in Colombia (Ruiz-Díaz et al, 2018). Ingesting heavy drinks and unhealthy food can be perceived as a symbol of masculinity (Berke et al, 2021;Campos et al, 2020).…”

“…The goal of the intervention should be clearly established: reduce binge drinking and unhealthy eating because of masculine beliefs. The target of the interventions should be Colombian male consumers, specially focused on low stratums of the big cities in Colombia, where binge drinking and overweight are higher (Ruiz-Díaz et al , 2018).…”

“…In addition, data shows that consuming large quantities of unhealthy food and alcohol can lead to weight gain, which in some cases can affect individuals’ health (Talukdar and Lindsey, 2013). Unhealthy ingestion habits, such as excessive alcohol drinking, are associated in Colombia with higher bodyweight (Ruiz-Díaz et al , 2018).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship of masculine eating/drinking beliefs on male consumers’ concern with unhealthy eating/drinking habits and, in turn, with binge drinking. Additionally, this research tests if and how a change in these beliefs influences binge drinking intention and intention to eat unhealthy food. Design/methodology/approach Three studies were conducted in Bogotá (Colombian males; convenience sampling). The purpose of Study 1 (N = 209) was to develop a scale to measure masculine eating/drinking beliefs. Study 2 (N = 191) tested the mediating role of concern with unhealthy eating/drinking habits in the relationship of masculine eating/drinking beliefs with binge drinking. Study 3 (N = 179) was an experimental study, which examined the effect of information about some negative consequences of masculine beliefs on the answers to the masculine eating/drinking beliefs inventory and, in turn, on binge drinking intention and intention to eat unhealthy food. Findings A one-dimensional (eight-items) scale was developed and validated. The results of this paper show that masculine eating/drinking beliefs are associated with lower concern with unhealthy eating/drinking and, in turn, with higher binge drinking. Information that influences these beliefs leads to lower binge drinking and unhealthy food ingestion intentions. Research limitations/implications This research presents the first scale that measures masculine eating/drinking beliefs. It provides initial evidence on how an intervention focused on the negative consequences of sexism can influence these beliefs, affecting binge drinking and overeating intentions. Practical implications This research provides new findings on a topic associated with several health problems in many countries, including the effect on consumers’ weight gaining and related illnesses. Originality/value This research presents the first scale that measures masculine eating/drinking beliefs. It provides initial evidence about factors (through mediating variables) that link masculine eating/drinking beliefs with some unhealthy eating/drinking habits. In addition, the results show how information about some negative consequences of these beliefs can influence consumers’ binge drinking and unhealthy food ingestion intentions, which leads to key recommendations for future interventions. As a result, this research provides new findings on a topic associated with several health problems in many countries, including the effect on consumers’ weight gaining and related illnesses.

Introduction.High-intensity interval training has become an important tool for weight loss in people who are overweight and obese, since it is based on the execution of exercises in short periods, which can range from seconds or even minutes, carried out at high intensity, followed by rest periods between each exercise series that prove to be very effective in reducing fat. Objective: To establish the effects of a high intensity intermittent training program in obese subjects. Materials and methods. Quantitative study of quasi-experimental design of pretest and posttest, in which 10 obese users participated, which were randomly divided into a control and experimental group. A high intensity intermittent training program was applied for 3 months with a total of 48 sessions and 120 minutes application time. Once the program was completed, the subjects were evaluated again. Results. Statistically significant differences (p<0,05) were found when comparing the average range of related samples in the variables weight (p=0,017) BMI (p=0,029) and VO 2 (p=0,038) of the experimental group. However, despite presenting positive changes in the same variables of the experimental group, these were not statistically significant. Conclussion. The results of the study showed a positive effect of Intermittent High Intensity Training on body weight, body mass index and maximum oxygen consumption. Likewise, it is concluded that this type of training is a good intervention strategy for people with obesity. RESUMENIntroducción. El entrenamiento intermitente de alta intensidad se ha convertido en una herramienta importante en el tratamiento de personas con sobrepeso y obesidad. Esta técnica, que se basa en la realización de ejercicios en períodos cortos (desde segundos hasta minutos) a alta intensidad seguidos de periodos de descanso entre cada serie de ejercicio, resulta ser muy eficaz en la reducción de grasa. Objetivo. Establecer los efectos de un programa de entrenamiento intermitente de alta intensidad en sujetos con obesidad. Materiales y métodos. Estudio cuantitativo de diseño cuasi experimental pretest y postest en el que se incluyeron 10 pacientes con obesidad. Los participantes se dividieron de forma aleatoria en un grupo control y uno experimental. A este último se le aplicó un programa de entrenamiento intermitente de alta intensidad durante 3 meses con un total de 48 sesiones y tiempo de aplicación de 120 minutos. Una vez culminado el programa, los sujetos fueron evaluados de nuevo. 76Rev Col Med Fis Rehab Montealegre-Suárez DP, Romaña-Cabrera LF Resultados.

Introduction: In Colombia, the prevalence of adult obesity continues to increase. However, there is no evidence from reviews compiling the related literature from a sociodemographic and public health perspective. Objective: A scoping review of studies was undertaken to identify and describe the sociodemographic and public health dimensions of adult obesity in Colombia. Methodology: Articles were searched using the electronic databases PubMed, Scielo, and Lilacs, focusing on papers published between 2000 and 2021. The following criteria for inclusion were adopted: studies on obesity in adults over 18 years of age in Colombia; transversal, longitudinal, and quasi-cohort studies; and ecological and/or panel-type research carried out in Colombia. Results: Twenty-one studies were included in the scoping review. These were classified into five categories: designs and methods; the prevalence of obesity; sociodemographic variables such as educational levels and occupation; practices of public health interest; associated pathologies and health variables. According to the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, 76.2 % (n=16) of the studies were high quality and 23.8 % (n=5) of average quality. Conclusions: This scoping review highlights determinants such as socioeconomic status; education; environment; and public health diseases associated with the onset of obesity. Notably, no longitudinal, quasi-, or synthetic cohort studies were found. This research gap signals an opportunity for future investigations to explore this uncharted dimension of analysing obesity in Colombia, characterised by unique ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic particularities. This distinct context sets it apart from other Latin American countries, offering valuable insights for further exploration.
