Filter by: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.
Only very few studies have prospectively looked at the effect of repeated intensive plasma donation. In collaboration with the Rode Kruis Vlaanderen, we have recently found that repeated whole blood donation with a 3-month interval in between induced a drop in markers for iron status, which worsened with the number of donations. The repetition effect of the donations, whether whole blood or plasma, can be different from the effects measured after one single donation. It is therefore critical to test and document this repetitive effect to build trustable and valid guidelines concerning repetitive plasma donation.
Sarcopenia, which is the loss of muscle mass and strength or physical function, naturally occurs in aging. In sarcopenic obesity, growth of muscle mass and increments in strength do not parallel weight gain, and places older adults at increased risk of falls, fractures, physical disability, frailty, and mortality from too low muscle strength relative to body size. The goal of the study is to assess body composition and physical function in older adults with obesity.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a 3-month period of quercetin supplementation (500 mg of Quercetin Phytosome®) is useful in the treatment of chronic fatigue, as assessed by the Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS-40). Secondary end points are sleep assessment through Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and muscle performance assessment through the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and body composition assessment using DXA.
Goal is to investigate the differences in skin condition and body composition among women with different dietary habits aged 30-45 years. Study will be focused onto sub-groups of female subjects following omnivorous, vegetarian or vegan diet.
The most common problem among sports people is that no matter how much protein food or products they eat, their sports performance cannot be improved, resulting in failure to achieve breakthroughs in sports performance. The cause of the trouble is digestion and absorption problems. The key is intestinal problems. If gastrointestinal function is maintained in a healthy state, then exercise performance must be maintained at a considerable level. Therefore, how to choose the source of protein in the diet is one of the most concerned issues of the sports crowd. Although past studies have confirmed that the essential amino acids in animal protein can be absorbed and utilized better than plant protein, plant protein can be broken down into easily digestible peptides and amino acids by pepsin. Promote the metabolite pool in the large intestine and the amino acid balance of the host in the small intestine. Recent studies have pointed out that the proteases and peptidases in lactic acid bacteria can provide free amino acids for the best growth of bacteria, and can increase the distribution of amino acids in the blood, the speed of muscle synthesis and the content of branched chain amino acids. However, the mechanism of action of Lactobacillus plantarum on protein digestion and amino acid absorption in the host is still unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the effect of supplementing sports lactic acid bacteria TWK10 in human experiments to effectively improve the amino acid bioabsorption rate of plant protein supplements. 40 subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups, each with 20 people (male and female): (1) pea protein without TWK10 (placebo), (2) TWK10 group (TWK10). The two groups of subjects were supplemented with test samples for 28 consecutive days and performed paired sports training 3 times a week. Before and after the intervention, the samples were subjected to exercise testing, blood and fecal sample collection, body composition analysis, and muscle mass analysis.
In this study, the investigators will be able to estimate the metabolic cost of several foundational medicine ball training exercises.
In this study, the investigators will be able to estimate the metabolic cost of several foundational battle rope training exercises.
GraviD is a multi-ethnic population-based pregnancy cohort. Pregnant women were invited to participate in the GraviD study when registering for antenatal care in parts of the region of Västra Götaland in Sweden in 2013-2014. All women registering for antenatal care were eligible for inclusion, as long as the pregnancy had not exceeded 16 gestational weeks. In total, 2125 pregnant women were recruited in gestational week 12 during two time-periods; fall 2013 and spring 2014. Blood sampling was performed in gestational week <17 and again at gestational week >31 by midwifes. After delivery, the maternity records were obtained, to collect information on child's gender, birth weight and length and other possible birth outcomes.
