The goal of this study, named the Active Learning for PHYsical Literacy (ALPHYL) study, was to describe a multicomponent class-based physically-active learning randomized control trial (RCT) in primary school children. The main purpose was to promote children's physical literacy, academic achievement and cognitive function. The ALPHYL study is mainly based on physical literacy, active school models and Supportive, Active, Autonomous, Fair and Enjoyable principles.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about in former COVID-19 patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - are there any association among pain, fear of falling, fall frequency, and physical activity level - are there any difference between former COVID-19 elders and non-COVID-19 elderly population
The aim of this study is to develop, implement, and evaluate a novel intervention to increase physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour among pre-school children, with the ultimate goal of reducing obesity among this age group. This study will provide evidence-based recommendations for reducing the prevalence of obesity among preschool-aged children, and the suggestions will help improve the physical activity intervention programme in preschoolers.
This pilot study will provide a theory-based low-cost and easy-to-operate program in the area of healthy lifestyle promotion among community dwelling older adults. The blended intervention product will be helpful for health professionals, social workers and practitioners working in the elderly centers and health centers to promote older adults' PA, healthy diet and wellness. Furthermore, this study would initiate advocacy for policymakers to disseminate cost-saving, time-efficient and effective healthy lifestyle programs to the communities for healthy aging promotion.
Hemodialysis is the most commonly used renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. At present, more than 553,000 ESRD patients in China are receiving hemodialysis treatment, but the long-term survival rate is low, and the annual mortality rate is as high as 18%. This is significantly related to lower physical activity in hemodialysis patients. Physical inactivity can lead to the decline of cardiopulmonary function and muscle function, the aggravation of daily life restriction and the increased risk of death. The National Kidney Foundation Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) recommends physical activity as cornerstone of ESRD rehabilitation. But hemodialysis patients are still living in a physical inactivity state. In the early stage of this study, the Physical Activity Enhancement Scheme (PACES) was developed for hemodialysis patients, that is, taking spaces as the core of physical activity investigation, and encouraging patients to start to improve physical activity. The PACES has been registered on the ClinicalTrials.gov before (number: NCT05189795). The investigators now plan to evaluate the impact of PACES on physical activity of hemodialysis patients through clinical trials.
The investigators have developed an online platform to support the 8-week, F&S! exercise program called the Healthy Activity Improves Lives (HAIL) online platform. The aims of this study are to conduct an open pilot trial with exit interviews (N=30) of the HAIL online platform in two racially diverse churches to evaluate its feasibility and acceptability (Hypothesis 1) as well as explore its efficacy (Hypothesis 2).
The Effect of Health Provider's Feedback on Physical Activity Surveillance using Wearable Device-Smartphone Application for Resolution of Metabolic Syndrome; a 12-Week Randomized Control Study
The primary objective is to investigate whether six weeks of resistance training, in combination with blood flow restriction, produces a different adaptation in fat-free mass between males and females that are not physically active. The secondary objective is to compare changes in physical function, physical performance, and blood biomarkers between males and females following resistance training and blood flow restriction.
Over the past decade, importance of supportive care in cancer treatment of young cancer patients has increased. However, most common cancer-related side effects, such as physical deconditioning, psychological problems, infertility, and cancer-related fatigue, are particularly problematic for young adults (AYA). Short- and long-term side effects result in impaired quality of life, social life, and physical activity levels. While there is growing evidence that physical exercise is effective in reducing disease- or treatment-related side effects, programs are generally not tailored to the unique needs of young adults. In addition, social media or web-based programs are rarely structurally integrated into existing care programs. The objective of the Your Exercise Program (YOUEX) study is therefore to address these specific needs and to improve physical exercise services for young people in Germany. To this end, this pilot study presents three approaches to physical activity enhancement, with a particular focus on web-based and cross-regional programs. All three approaches will be evaluated for their feasibility and effectiveness on fatigue, distress, quality of life, and activity levels, as well as sustained effects over 24 weeks. The YOUEX study is an exploratory intervention study in the form of a 12-week exercise program for patients aged 18 to 39 years who currently have or have had a cancer diagnosis within the past 5 years. Eligible patients can choose from three support programs: Social Media Exercise Program, Online Exercise Platform, Supervised Exercise Program. The goal is to recruit 70 to 80 patients over an 8-month period. Evaluation questionnaires will be sent at three time points (T0: start of exercise program, T1: after 6 weeks; T2: after 12 weeks; T3: after 24 weeks) with a short weekly questionnaire between T0 and T2 to assess weekly adherence and changes in fatigue. YOUEX study will collect detailed information on the acceptability and feasibility of different physical activity programs for young people and their lasting effects on fatigue, quality of life and physical activity. Should these be positive, the findings can directly inform health care practice, which would be highly relevant especially in light of the COVID pandemic.
