    Nowadays, overweight and obesity has reached an epidemic level around the world. With the aim to tackle them, an interesting strategy is the study of food and ingredients with satiety properties. In addition to reducing food and/or calorie intake, this type of foods must be included as part of a healthy diet. With regard to this, it is well known that the Mediterranean Diet (MD) is a feeding pattern that helps us to maintain good health, providing an adequate intake of micronutrients and active compounds. With this background, the main aim of this research was to identify MD foods with a high satiating potential capacity. For this purpose, three typical foods of the Mediterranean region, mainly based on vegetables, were selected: hummus, ajoblanco and gazpacho. As a control, white bread was used. Twenty-four human healthy volunteers consumed a standard breakfast followed by the different typical Mediterranean foods, and then the subjective sensation of hunger and satiety for each food was assessed by visual analogue scales (VAS) during 3 h. Subsequently, volunteers had ad libitum access to a standard meal. The results indicate that gazpacho showed the highest satiating scores, despite the fact that it was not the food that provided the highest protein or fibre amount. More studies of this type are needed to determine the proportion and/or combination of ingredients from these classical Mediterranean recipes that could enhance human satiety.

    Neuromuscular taping is one method that can be used to reduce the impact of pain after eccentric activity. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of neuromuscular taping on the pain intensity after eccentric activity. This was an experimental study with the design of a randomized post-test control group.The 14 samples obtained were then randomly divided into two groups.Neuromuscular taping treatment (NMT) was used before performing eccentric activities. The eccentric activity performed was shoulder flexion-elbow extension. After 24 hours of recovery, the pain intensity was measured using a visual analog scale. The results of the Mann Whitney u test showed that there was no significant difference in pain intensity (p ≥ 0.05). The conclusion of this study was that the neuromuscular taping after eccentric activity did not reduce the pain intensity after 24 hours of recovery. However, there was a tendency that the neuromuscular taping treatment group showed lower pain intensity so NMT decreased the pain intensity after eccentric activity.
