Filter by:The study started by the process of designing a structured exercise that will manage the T2DM with regards to the effectiveness in glycemic control, the benefit for physical fitness, and safe. Subjects consist of 18 - 65 years old T2DM patients are allocated into 2 groups; EXP group and KTR group. The EXP group follow the protocol of 12-week structured exercise, combination of 3 times per week high intensity interval training with 2 times per week resistance exercises. The pre- and post- measure are physical fitness consists of VO2max, grip strength, sit and reach, push ups, back extension, BMI and body fat percentage; HbA1c; plasma MDA and SOD. The KTR group follow the once a week continuous exercise program. The structured exercise is hypothesized to lower HbA1c, lower plasma MDA, increase SOD.
This study will aim to evaluate the efficacy of a short-term, home-based, high-intensity interval (HIT) programme in improving cardiovascular fitness in healthy volunteers aged 55 and above, with an age-comparison to younger individuals taking part in the same training regime. It will also explore the efficacy of time-matched 'static' interventions for improving cardiovascular parameters in middle-aged females and older adults.
BE@Work (Brief Exercise at Work) is a pilot controlled before and after trial of a workplace physical activity programme.
In this study the investigators wish to investigate whether a short duration High-intensity Interval Training(HIT) is superior to a moderate activity training modus with regards to improving weight-loss, Blood pressure and sleep quality in severely obese children and adolescents also receiving a multidisciplinary treatment regime.
10 patients with type 2 diabetes participated in a training-intervention consisting of 8 times of High-Intensity Training (HIT). Before and after the intervention the patients were tested regarding Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, blood pressure, weight and fat% and VO2max. A pilot study was conducted with 6 patients with type 2 diabetes using the same protocol but only 6 times of training.
Low-volume high-intensity interval exercise training may improve aspects of health and fitness in young people, but the effect of this type of exercise on quality of life has yet to be assessed. The investigators aim to examine the effect of a 4-week school-based low-volume high-intensity interval training programme (called the Fun Fast Interval Training [FFIT] activity project) on physical fitness and quality of life in adolescent school pupils. Approximately 145 English adolescents aged 11-12 years will be approached and invited to take part in the study. Participants will be healthy female volunteers, recruited from one school in Northeast England. Using a non-randomised design, one school year group will be assigned to take part in the intervention, and a second year group assigned to the control condition.Those in the intervention group will complete a 4-week school-based high-intensity interval exercise training programme. The intervention will take place twice per week, and comprise of 6-8 repetitions of 45 s maximal effort exercise (boxing, running, soccer and basketball drills), each interspersed with 90-s rest. Participants will be encouraged to work maximally during the 45-s repetitions. Control participants will be instructed not to change their lifestyle, dietary or physical activity habits during the intervention period, and maintain their normal school physical education routine. Study outcomes will be 20 m shuttle run test performance, health-related quality of life, standing broad jump performance, hand dynamometer performance, waist circumference and 10 m and 20 m sprint performance.
High-intensity interval training (HIT) has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy to improve markers of health and fitness across a wide range of healthy and clinical populations. Currently however, there is only limited evidence which has examined the effectiveness of HIT in older adults (>50 years). HIT is an appealing strategy in this group as it has the potential to impact both cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness, which both play an important role in maintaining functional fitness and quality of life in a time-efficient manner. Developing an understanding of novel strategies for delivering this type of exercise training may ultimately provide a viable alternative to traditional modes of exercise training for a broader range of participants. As such, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a novel, high-intensity interval training exercise protocol to improve physical fitness in adults aged over 50 years. This research also aims to evaluate if this type of training intervention is feasible in this population, through analysis of adherence and intervention fidelity.
Low-volume high-intensity interval exercise training may improve aspects of health and fitness in young people, but interventions must be practical and engaging. The investigators examined the effect of a novel school-based low-volume high-intensity interval training programme on health, fitness and physical activity outcomes in adolescent school pupils. 101 English adolescents aged 13-14 years took part in the study. Participants were healthy male and female volunteers, recruited from four schools in Northeast England. Using a non-randomised design, two schools took part in the intervention, and two were assigned to the control. Those in the intervention group completed a 10-week school-based high-intensity interval exercise training programme. The intervention took place three times per week, and comprised of 4-7 repetitions of 45 s maximal effort exercise (boxing, dance, soccer and basketball drills), each interspersed with 90-s rest. Participants were encouraged to work maximally during the 45-s repetitions. Control participants were instructed not to change their lifestyle, dietary or physical activity habits during the intervention period, and maintain their normal school physical education routine. Study outcomes were blood lipid and glucose levels, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, carotid intima-media thickness, physical activity levels, serum C-reactive protein levels and blood pressure.
