Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control group

Participants keep their normal routine without intervention.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Experimental group

Participants receive a single nutritional intervention previous to a critical period.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Educational talk about physical activity and nutritional recommendations before a critical period of fat gain in university students

Intervention Type OTHER

An intervention was performed emulating a traditional nutritional session from a primary healthcare center (public health system). Traditionally, this session lasts around 20 minutes and includes a body composition measurement, nutritional assessment, and a brief educational talk about healthy eating. Just the intervention group received a series of healthy recommendations specially focused on the National Holiday.
