The 6 Minute Pegboard and Ring Test is a test applicable to the upper extremities. The upper extremity plays an important role in activities of daily living, especially in tasks related to reaching, grasping and holding objects. Various activities of daily living, such as combing hair, brushing teeth and picking up objects, require supported or unsupported upper limb activity. Therefore, evaluation of upper extremity function is important. In addition, it is a simple test, it is also seen as a game, its application is functional, and there is no need for expensive equipment. Its validity and reliability have been demonstrated only for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and healthy adults. In addition, to the best of our knowledge, the suitability of this test in a virtual environment has not been evaluated in the literature. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to examine the applicability of this test in a virtual environment.
The goal of the study is to evaluate the Changes in Microbiota Markers in Healthy Subjects Before, During and After Meditation Practices in a Controlled Environment. This study provides a unique opportunity to test the hypotheses that (1) Arhatic Yoga practices will affect both oral and gut microbiome; (2) the oral and gut microbiome will shift dynamically in a short period; and (3) the overall shift resulting from the changes in the gut microbiome members will be associated with known benefits to health and well-being.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the extent to which turmeric compounds in different food matrices becomes available to the body in healthy volunteers. The main question it aims to answer is: - Is the availability to the body of a turmeric dietary supplement altered when consumed in fruit nectar, oat milk, yogurt drink, or gummies in comparison to a dietary supplement capsule? Participants will ingest a turmeric dietary supplement as a capsule or in different food matrices on six testing days (separated by at least one week). The day before testing day, a standardized dinner will be provided to the participants in the evening and participants will be instructed to not consume any foods or beverages (except water) and to arrive fasted (12 hours) at the investigation site. Participants will ingest turmeric dietary supplement formulations one by one in random order in the morning of testing days. Regular blood and urine samples will be collected before and up to 24 hours after the turmeric dietary supplement ingestion. Standardized meals will be provided during the entire testing day (lunch, mid-afternoon snack, dinner).
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of different durations of Motor Imagery (MI) practice and physical practice on motor performance enhancement in healthy adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does Motor Imagery (MI) practice improve motor performance? - How do different doses of MI practice (low vs. high) compare to no MI practice in enhancing motor performance? Participants: - Be randomly assigned to one of three groups: no MI practice (control group), low dose MI practice (6 minutes per session), or high dose MI practice (12 minutes per session). - Complete nine sessions over three weeks, practicing a timed mirror tracing task. - Have their performance measured in each session by the time taken to complete the task and the number of errors made. Compared the control group, low dose MI group, and high dose MI group to see if there are significant differences in motor performance enhancement, aiming to determine the effectiveness of MI and the optimal dose for practice.
The purpose of this clinical trial was to evaluate the effects Lactococcus cremoris spp. im-mobilized on oat flakes on human microbiome and blood and urine biomarkers of associated with human health.
The Lower Quadrant Y-Balance Test (LQYBT) is a landmark test used in assessing lower extremity performance, determining risk factors for injury, and making return-to-sport decisions. Studies have shown that the individual's focus of attention affects balance. The literature, has shown that the use of external focus is more effective than the use of internal focus in the execution of a movement.Consistent with these findings, the use of an external focus instruction during the LQYBT may lead to achieve more realistic and a higher performance outcome than the test result with standard instructions. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effects of using different instructions and focusing techniques on test performance on the LQYBT. The secondary aim was to investigate the reliability of the different instructions and focus tests we used for the LQYBT. Hypothesis of the study that test performance can be further enhanced by differentiating the instructions and focus techniques. A more effective assessment of individual performance may help us to make a more realistic decision to return to sport.
The goal of this controlled, experimental study is to learn about the effects of 10 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on physical performance, vascular circulation, biochemical parameters, and composition of the intestinal microbiota in young healthy men depending on the frequency of single treatments. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do 10 treatments of hyperbaric oxygen therapy induce significant changes in physical performance levels, vascular circulation, and concentrations of biochemical parameters in young, healthy men? 2. Does the body's response to 10 treatments of hyperbaric oxygen therapy differ depending on the frequency of treatments? 3. Does a series of hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments induce significant changes in the composition of the intestinal microbiota, metabolome, and functional status of the intestines? Participants are exposed to hyperoxia under hyperbaric conditions or form a control group with no treatment.
The incidence of type 2 diabetes worldwide has increased significantly over the past decades, which is associated with changing dietary habits and physical inactivity. According to the diet, so far there has been a great focus on the quality of carbohydrates and fat in relation to metabolic health, while the importance of protein has been neglected. The Danes' average protein intake is 1.5 g/kg/day, which is at the high end of the recommendations (0.8-1.5 g/kg/day) from the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR 2023). Recent studies in rodents have shown that protein restriction has positive effects on health, including improved glucose and insulin homeostasis and reduced fat mass, while a high intake of protein has a negative effect on insulin sensitivity. Previously the investigators have shown, in healthy young men, that consuming a diet low in protein (0.9 g/kg/day), compared to the participants usual diet (1.5 g/kg/day), over 7 days, resulted in an increased insulin sensitivity as well as a marked increase in the plasma fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) concentration. The increased insulin sensitivity is thought to be mediated by the increase in plasma FGF21 concentration. However, the effect is not yet fully understood. It is also not clear whether the increase in plasma FGF21 concentration, as well as the mentioned metabolic effects on insulin and glucose homeostasis, will take place if the participants are kept weight stable on a eucaloric diet.
This trial holds minimal risk to the trial volunteers and consists of obtaining whole blood via venipuncture to perform coagulation parameter measurements to define a Normal Reference Range. Written consent to participate in the study will be obtained prior to volunteer screening per site procedures.
