Filter by:A total of 600 children between 10 and 12 years of age will be randomized among two experimental conditions: physical activity interacting with a video (n = 300), and sedentary activity (n = 300). The experimental condition will take place in the school settings during the school day through a between-subject design with a total of two measurements, pre, and post-test. Using the latest advances, the transient effects of the experimental conditions on cognitive and academic performance will be measured. The experimental condition was crafted through a qualitative design involving semi-structured interviews with teachers (n = 41) and members of the management team (n = 16), along with questionnaires administered to students (n = 600). To enhance and ensure its sustainability, the same process will be replicated after the intervention. Interviews and questionnaires were meticulously crafted by the RE-AIM framework, and subsequently validated through a rigorous process involving an expert panel (n = 30) utilizing the Delphi methodology. This project has the potential to substantially contribute to the field of acute physical activity and could have a meaningful transference on the educational system. This method might be prescribed as an effective teaching strategy.
The goal of this randomized control intervention study is to test the effect of i) a specific physical training for e-sport and ii) a general physical training on e-sport performance, compared to iii) not training physically at all. Participants are gamers and e-athletes who play at least >2hours peer week. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does physical training have an effect on e-sport related abilities (hand grip strength, reaction, anticipation) - Does the training of specific elements, which aim at these abilities "out-game", transfer on the actual skills needed using a keyboard and mouse Participants will be randomly - but mediated by hours of playing per week - distributed in 1 of 3 groups. - Group 1 will 3 times per week for 30 minutes perform a specific physical training with focus on abilities needed in e-sport (grip strength, reaction, anticipation) over a timespan of 8 weeks. - Group 2 will perform a similar physical training (load, intensity) to Group 1, but without specific elements. - Group 3 will serve as control group without any training. Researchers will compare Group 1, Group 2 and Groups 3 to see if the different trainings (Group 1 and Group 2) have different effect on e-sport performance and if no training (Group 3) differs in e-sport performance development.
Exercise and physical activity are recommended in many clinical guidelines in orthopdeci diseases. Costs, time, doctor-patient-communication and the type of prescription are possible limitations of prescribing exercise as a therapy. It is essential to know the expactiations and attitude of the patients for an accurate, patient-centered, prescription. This trial aims to reveal patients point of view and attitude.
Healthy School Recognized Campus is a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension initiative that supports the delivery of school-based physical activity and nutrition programs for diverse youth across Texas. The purpose of this study is to improve the delivery of these programs and optimize the effect they have on youth's cardiovascular risk factors.
Study based on the inclusion of physical activity in the secondary education classroom through active breaks and physically active learning, aimed at testing its effects on the improvement of physical activity levels, sedentary time, educational indicators, cognition and physical and psychological health markers.
The "TakeCare!" study addresses the problem that vocational students of nursing care cope with great physical and psychological demands during their daily routines. To meet these demands, the Bavarian curriculum for generalist nurses has adopted the promotion of physical activity-related health competence (PAHCO) for vocational students. However, it must be assumed that the concept has not yet been adopted comprehensively across the Bavarian nursing landscape. Therefore, the "TakeCare!" study tackles the question of how PAHCO can be implemented most appropriately in Bavarian nursing schools. Drawing on experiences from the project PArC-AVE, three different dissemination approaches will being tested and compared with a control group. A total of 16 nursing schools from different regions of Bavaria will be assigned to four different study arms (cluster-randomized design). In the long term, the project aims to derive recommendations for all nursing schools in Bavaria.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the developed program on screen usage time and physical activity for pre-school children.
To identify factors and triggers influencing physical activity (PA) participation after structured cardiac rehabilitation (CR) among older adults who have enrolled in a center-based CR program, and compare the effects of a targeted health coaching intervention versus standard care immediately following structured CR on PA maintenance and functional fitness.
The investigators will randomize 20 rural libraries to implement either a group-based walking (standard approach) or a group-based walking combined with a civic engagement program (combined approach). Each rural library will enroll between 15-20 participants. The investigators will compare the change in physical activity between participants in each group.
Many programmes exist to enable patients to engage in physical activity, but it is clear that the objectives are often not achieved in terms of quality, quantity or intensity of practice. In this study, the aim is to find alternatives, assuming that strengthening patients' self-efficacy, meeting their basic needs and increasing their level of hope will have an impact on their motivation to practice, which in turn will have an impact on their actual practice. The aim is to develop and implement an innovative intervention programme and to identify the interactions between the variables that are assumed to predict engagement in practice.
