Filter by:The aim of this prospective longitudinal study is to investigate the risks associated with use of anabolic steroids in fitness circles in Denmark in order to assess the scope of therapeutic need existing as a consequence of use. The objectives are: - To assess long-term complications and outcomes related to: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, gonadal disease (women and men) and psychiatric disease using data from Danish registries including addressing central questions such as whether the following characteristics play a role for development of overt disease - Characterization of illicit AAS use among men and women - Current male reproductive health - Current psychological well-being, aggressive tendencies, cognitive function and quality of life - Current cardiovascular and metabolic status The participants will undergo: - Semi-structured medical interview - Physical examinations - Questionnaires - Blood and urine sampling - Dual X-ray Absorptiometry With a subset undergoing further testing, including semen analysis, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and human chorionic gonadotropinm (hCG) stimulation and 82Rubidium positron emission tomography and computer tomography (PET/CT). Register-based follow-up is planned every third year until the 15th year, marking the completion of the trial. The study will include 800 participants with current or former AAS use and 100 participants (80 male; 20 female) as controls with no former or current use of AAS.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a recreational physical activity intervention for reducing the prevalence of overweight/obesity and other cardiovascular risk factors
This study evaluates the implementation of the BOKS program in three schools (K-8) in Revere, MA, and its effect on participating students with regard to BMI, cognitive, and quality of life outcomes. BOKS (Build Our Kids' Success) is a before-school physical activity program that has been implemented in over 2,000 elementary and middle schools. Two sessions will be held (Spring 2018 and Winter 2018. This is a cohort study evaluating the impact of program participation on child BMI, quality of life, and executive function.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of daily supplementation of a combined orange- and pomegranate extract for a period of 4 weeks on physical fitness compared to placebo. In this crossover study, participants will daily receive either a placebo or Actiful®, a supplement containing 500 mg orange extract and 200 mg pomegranate actives, for 4 weeks followed by a wash-out period of 4 to 8 weeks. Subsequently, the second intervention period of 4 weeks (active product or placebo) will take place. The product and placebo will be supplied in capsules that participants can ingest with a glas of water (daily, prior to breakfast).
The purpose of the study is to determine how measuring strength (by squeezing a tool called a hand grip dynamometer) and cardiorespiratory fitness (by climbing stairs) and sharing the results with subjects impacts exercise.
BOKS, Build Our Kids' Success, is a before-school physical activity program that has been implemented in over 2,000 elementary and middle schools. Students participate in the program for 12 weeks, two or three mornings per week for about 1 hour per session. This study if a non-randomized control trial seeking to 1) examine the extent to which participation in the before-school BOKS program improves, health, well-being, and performance, and 2) compare the results of a two-day-per-week versus a three-day-per-week program.
fitness and Physical activity will be evaluate in short stature children, using the Euro Fitness testing and the Wingate anaerobic test. the fitness level will be evaluate in healthy short children and with growth hormone deficiency at base line and after 6 month .
The purpose of this study is to use the MURDOCK Horizon 1.5 infrastructure (Duke Instutional Review Board Pro00011196) to specifically target and enroll 1,000 participants across age groups and other demographic categories in order to develop a diverse cohort with specific physical and cognitive performance data paired with biological samples.
