Filter by:The study will investigate the effect of structural training program and body composition on injury occurrence in hip-hop dance. Assuming that training program can significantly lower the number of injuries (experimental group will have less injuries during and at the end of the trial) and that body fat percentage negatively effects injury occurrence (dancers with higher body fat percentage will be more often injured).
The central hypothesis is that the combination of measurements from 3D optical scans with standard DXA scans can be used to calculate 4 unique body composition compartments: water, fat, protein, mineral. This is significant because it will allow for accurate assessment of adiposity and functional protein status independent of hydration. The hypothesis is based on preliminary data collected demonstrating the use of thickness and dual energy X-ray measurements to calculate three-compartment breast composition.
The effect of Tactile/Kinaesthetic massage therapy on weight gain and different components of growth, as assessed by anthropometric measurements and DXA scan, and correlate these components with serum IGF-1, leptin and adiponectin in preterm infants.
Several studies performed in elite endurance athletes have shown that running performance may be determined by a low fat mass in the overall population. The "Course de l'Escalade" occurs yearly during the first week-end of December. This race takes place in the city of Geneva. The distance of this race is 7.3 km for all men and elite women, and 4.8 km for non-elite women. During this race, measurement of body composition by biolelectrical impedance analyses (BIA) were performed in volunteer, between December 1999 and 2017. Hypothesis : We hypothesize that: 1. A low fat mass is associated with a slower running time, when adjusting for age, body weight, and habitual physical exercise. 2. An increase in fat mass over time increases running time over the years Objectives : 1. To evaluate whether total and regional body composition is associated with running time at the "Course de l'Escalade". 2. To determine whether changes in body composition with progressive aging lead to changes in running time.
This study will investigate the effects of night time versus day time casein supplementation on body composition and athletic performance. Participants will consume the protein supplements daily while participating in a supervised, periodized resistance training program.
Chronic kidney disease patients with sarcopenic obesity are noted to have impairment in physical performance and reducing their quality of life, and the investigators also founded these patients are at higher risk of mortality. Thus, the investigators hypothesize that oral nutrition intervention could increase lean tissue mass in these patients and improve the clinical outcomes.
Physical inactivity and low adherence to the Mediterranean diet cause alterations in body composition, which increases the risk factors for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. In addition, exercise in different surfaces or water could affect the bone density specially in women. Objective: The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of a short-term aerobic exercise program in different surfaces on the body composition and bone density of women within at work, and to evaluate the quality of the Mediterranean diet and distribution of macronutrients in the studied population. Material & Methods: Randomized controlled trial. 63 women from a randomized work environment (IG, n=34) and a control group (CG, n=29) participated in a short-term aerobic exercise programmed (12 weeks), for body composition and bone density Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used and to evaluate diet, the Mediterranean Diet Quality Questionnaire (KIDMED) and the Food Frequency Questionnaire for macronutrient distribution were used.
The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of whey protein supplementation associated with resistance training on muscle strength, body composition, muscle quality, cellular hydration, cardiometabolic risk factors, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in trained elderly women and to evaluate whether the timing of protein intake provide different responses on these variables.
In this study, the investigators will examine the effect of therapy with the Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analog tesamorelin on body composition in patients with HIV lipodystrophy and central adiposity. This study is a single arm prospective study of tesamorelin therapy of patients with HIV lipodystrophy. Subjects will do body composition testing, adipose tissue biopsy, metabolic rate measurements and insulin sensitivity assessment before, 6 and 12 months after daily injections of tesamorelin 2 mg by subcutaneous injection.
Studies with new drugs in the treatment of heart failure (HF), such as the combination of valsartan/sacubitril, also known as LCZ696, have demonstrated important clinical impact on the morbidity and mortality outcomes in HF population. However, the effect of LCZ696 on the pathophysiological mechanisms of HF such as exercise tolerance (peak VO2) and peripheral muscle blood flow is not known. Since LCZ696 is a new drug with promising effects on the treatment of HF, the objective of the present study will be to evaluate the effect of LCZ696 in patients with HF on: 1) peak VO2, 2) 6-minute walk test, 3) peripheral muscle blood flow, 4) muscle strength, and 5) body composition.
