Filter by:The investigators are doing this study to learn more about how exercising at different times of the day (morning versus evening) affects body weight, sleep, eating patterns, and other factors.
It is a randomized controlled trial. The study is initiated after getting an approval from ERC FUI. The research is being conducted according to ethical guidelines of Pakistan Medical Research Council and declaration of Helsinki. Confidentiality and anonymity of participants is being maintained throughout the research project. Study subjects are being selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria and then are being randomly allocated on the basis of coin toss method in Control and experimental groups. An informed consent is being taken from study participants prior to recruiting in study. After random allocation the participants are being given self-administered PAR-Q followed by pre exercise Expiratory forced vital capacity and VO2 max measurements through Digital spirometer and McArdle Katch test respectively. Then study participants will be made to perform submaximal exercise testing according to ACSM guidelines for 03 weeks. The data will be collected at two time intervals that is on day 1 and then after 03 weeks. Data will then be analyzed using SPSS version 21.0.
The proposed randomized controlled trial tests two self-regulatory approaches to improve intentional weight loss and diet quality in individuals with overweight or obesity: (1) an environmental control strategy (AVOID) and (2) an impulse control training strategy (RESIST).
The main goal of the project is to test fruit and vegetable mousse, with the addition of a fiber preparation made of potato starch with prebiotic properties, on selected clinical, metabolic and immunological parameters in overweight and obese children. The study will be performed in a group of 80 to 100 children aged 6 to 10 years (pre-pubertal age), using a double-blind procedure. Children will be randomly assigned into two groups, i.e. the intervention group (they will receive a vegetable and fruit mousse with the addition of potato starch fiber preparation with prebiotic properties) and the control group (they will receive an identical preparation in their diet, but without the addition of potato starch fiber preparation).
This is a multicenter randomized clinical trial of 828 overweight and obese individuals with gestational diabetes designed to compare standard to intensive glycemic targets.
The goal of this study is to test whether an acceptance based intervention can modify the relationship between heart rate and perceived exertion/negative during physical activity among individuals who have a high degree of internalized weight bias.
The purpose of this study is to determine how different behavioral interventions designed to alter food perceptions and behaviors affect brain responses to food, eating behaviors, and body weight.
The purpose of this study to understand better how this anti-obesity medication works to assist individuals to lose weight and maintain weight loss. This study may lead to the development of other related medications for assisting people with the disease of obesity.
The primary objective of this randomized controlled cross-over study is to investigate if an acute, glycogen lowering exercise bout performed either in the morning or late afternoon differentially affects the respiratory exchange ratio at night in men and women with prediabetes. For this purpose, participants will stay in a respiration chamber and will be subjected to either an exercise bout in the morning or late afternoon.
Women Veterans are the fastest growing segment of VA users. This dramatic growth has created challenges for VA to ensure that appropriate services are available to meet women Veterans' needs, and that they will want and be able to use those services. The EMPOWER QUERI 2.0 Program is a cluster randomized type 3 hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial testing two strategies designed to support implementation and sustainment of evidence-based practices for women Veterans in up to 20 VA facilities from 4 regions.
