Filter by:The use of mobile applications to promote the practice of physical activity has begun to be used in the adolescent population in recent years. This has made it possible to carry out interventions inside and outside the educational setting, the latter being the ones that have brought the greatest benefits. Thus, it has been observed that the promotion of the use of mobile applications in out-of-school hours from the subject of physical education has reported significant benefits on body composition and fitness in the adolescent population. However, there is no known research that has analyzed whether the effect achieved with mobile applications when their use is mandatory disappears when they are no longer promoted from the physical education subject. Therefore, this project goes further and tries to find out whether after the ten-week period of mandatory use of the applications, adolescents continue to use the applications autonomously and the beneficial effects achieved are maintained or disappear due to the lack of use. For this purpose, a 10-week intervention was planned in which the adolescents used the mobile applications. Prior to the start of the intervention, the adolescents' body composition and fitness (pre) were measured. At the end of the intervention of mandatory use of the mobile applications, the adolescents were measured again (post). And after the post measurement, the adolescents were left for 10 weeks during which they could use the applications autonomously. A third measurement of the adolescents was performed after this 10-week period (post 2). The aim of this project was to find out the effects of stopping the use of the mobile fitness apps on body composition and fitness of the adolescents.
Obesity is a global health concern that significantly affects individuals, and its prevalence is still rising at an alarming rate. While various treatments are available, they often come with unwanted side effects. As a result, there is a growing interest in natural remedies including various herbs and spices such as cinnamon that have a favorable impact on overall health and disease conditions.
The most commonly used method in the management of body compositions of healthy individuals in the recent times is the application of physical activity together with a healthy nutrition (diet). The application of diet together with physical activity cause significant changes in the body composition (fat ratio, muscle mass, lean body mass, etc.). Physical activity can be done with traditional physical activity methods as well as with virtual reality applications. Virtual reality is a simulation or a metaversal facet of a real environment created by a computer or various other electronic devices that allows one or more users to interact with certain elements in a simulated virtual frame through a human-machine interface. Virtual reality applications are generally classified as immersive and non-immersive virtual reality . Commercial games such as Sony Playstation, Microsoft Kinect Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii can be given as examples of non-immersive virtual reality . In order to preserve body composition, different exercise applications can be recommended in addition to the diet program. In the literature, many studies involving diet, physical activity or a combination of these two applications have been experimentally planned and carried out in a controlled manner. In these studies, moderate body weight loss (1-5 kg) was reported with only physical activity. It is a general opinion that diet therapy in addition to planned physical activity (exercise) provides more effective and healthier results than people who lose weight with only diet programs or only exercise. It has been stated in previous studies that body composition and physical fitness improve with virtual reality application as happened wih diet intervention. However, due to the fact that access to virtual reality applications is not very easy, longitudinal studies are needed to evaluate whether they should be included in general body composition and physical fitness improvement programs. At this point, the main purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate the effects of virtual reality applications and healthy nutrition program on improving body composition and physical fitness.
The effect of resistance training with post-exercise Collagen peptides (CP) supplementation on lean body mass, maximal and explosive, isometric muscle strength as well as fat mass, resting metabolism, health parameters and plasma lipid profile compared to resistance training alone will be evaluated in a group of untrained overweight male (30-60 yrs) population in a randomized controlled trial (RCT).
The goal of this quasi-experimental pilot study is to evaluate the effect of a multi-component intervention in women between 55 and 75 years old at risk of sarcopenia. The main question it aims to answer are: What is the effect of a multi-component intervention in women at risk of sarcopenia? Participants will twelve women between 55 and 75 years old with risk of sarcopenia, who agreed through written informed consent for participate 12 weeks with 24 sessions included dancing, resistance exercises, and nutritional education. The outcomes were muscle mass, grip strength, gait speed and body composition. The effects were measured before and after the intervention, under a self-controlled design.
The primary objective of this proposal is to determine the effects of post-exercise peanut consumption on long-term aerobic and resistance exercise training adaptations in middle-aged men and women. We will determine the impact of peanuts on exercise training-induced improvements in muscle strength, gains in muscle mass, and improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness and metabolic capacity.
The goal of this intervention study is to determine if omega-3 fatty acid supplementation as compared to placebo improves performance in track and field athletes. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can performance be improved 2. Can strength be enhanced 3. Will positive body composition changes occur (lean vs fat mass) 4. Will feelings of muscle soreness be diminished Participants will take either omega-3 fatty acid supplements or placebo and continue with their sport specific training regimen. Researchers will compare the supplement group to placebo group to determine if there are any significant differences.
Plant polyphenols have demonstrated the ability to ameliorate metabolic alterations induced by overweight and obesity, both in cellular and animal models, where most therapeutic approaches have failed. These have demonstrated the ability to improve appetite sensation, leading to improved body weight control, in addition to reducing fat accumulation and improving plasma glycemic and lipid profiles, as well as inflammatory process and vascular dysfunction. The plant polyphenols on which the extract to be studied will be based will be hibiscus and lemon verbena. A randomized controlled trial will be carried out in overweight or obese subjects from the province of Alicante. An electronic randomization will be carried out based on a two-branch design, therefore, there will be a control group (no intervention) and an experimental group (nutraceutical intake). Participants will have to ingest the nutraceutical for 3 months, as well as attend the agreed visits. Different satiety questionnaires, circulating parameters measured in capillaries (cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose), blood pressure and body composition measured by bone densitometry (DXA) will be collected. All variables will be measured at 4 different time points (baseline, 30 days, 60 days and 90 days). All these will be analyzed as a function of time; at the beginning and end of each intervention (intra-group analysis), as well as comparing the control group with the experimental group (inter-group analysis). A multidisciplinary team formed by physicians, nurses and nutritionists will be involved.
The goal of this study is to find out if doing a 16-week volleyball program integrated in physical education classes at school can make primary school students stronger, faster, and have better endurance. The study also wants to see whether the program can lead to changes in the students' body weight, body fat, and muscle mass.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of sarcopenic obesity (SO) on weight loss outcomes and improvement of quality of life after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
