Summary

The study was conducted at the University Isabel I, Burgos in collaboration with the Hospital Universitario Burgos, Spain, through the creation of a multidisciplinary research team including graduates in physical activity and sports sciences, dietitians-nutritionists, neurologists and occupational therapists. To carry out this study: 1) the investigators used new technologies, specifically, small wearable or wearable devices available to the population. These devices measure their daily behaviour and estimate aspects such as energy expenditure, validated both in healthy participants and in participants with neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, but not in HD; 2) the investigators included a consecutive sample of patients with HD ; 3) the investigators performed the experimental study at the the laboratory for Exercise Physiology, Health and Quality of Life at the Isabel I University.

The hypothesis proposed by this study are the following: 1) Patients with HD who present an adequate energy balance caused by healthier lifestyles (active lifestyles and healthy eating) will present a better functional capacity, quality of life and therefore both less dependency; 2) HD patients with a balanced energy balance maintain adequate body composition (muscle, fat); 3) Adequate body composition is associated with better functional capacity in HD patients.

OTHER

observational tests in face-to-face visit

All necessary evaluations will be carried out for data collection. Also, that same day, the investigators will give the device to participants for the 7-day home assessment
