Filter by:Metabolic syndrome (MetS) or syndrome X, which is increasingly prevalent in the world and in our country, is a disease that includes abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, impaired glycemic control and hypertension components. It causes cardiovascular events such as myocardial hypertrophy, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, atrial dilatation and atrial fibrillation. Low levels of physical activity can be caused by a wide variety of factors including environmental and genetic factors, age, race, sarcopenia, poor eating habits, postmenopausal period and smoking history. Factors such as genetic differences, diet, physical activity, age, gender and eating habits are reported to affect the prevalence of (MetS) and its components. Frailty is also emerging as a major issue for the elderly due to its debilitating effects on health outcomes. Frailty is a geriatric syndrome characterized by a gradual decrease in homeostatic tolerance and physiological reserve following exposure to stressors. Frailty predisposes older people to falls, delirium, hospitalizations and even death and is therefore considered a crucial transition between healthy ageing and disability. As a result of aging, degenerative changes in the central and peripheral vestibular system have been found. With age, the ability to regulate movement is impaired as a result of insufficient information in any of the sensory receptors or any disorder affecting the processing of these messages. This directly affects balance and postural control, leading to an increased risk of falls. In the light of the results of the studies in the literature, degenerative changes are observed in many systems in geriatric individuals and while the incidence of metabolic syndrome in these individuals is high, the number of studies evaluating their effects is not sufficient. Based on these deficiencies, it is aimed to examine metabolic syndrome, frailty, locomotive syndrome, balance and physical fitness in elderly individuals.
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.
This is an intervention research project, with a pragmatic experimental design of the type Randomized Clinical Trial. Schoolchildren from 6th to 9th grade of both genders, adolescents must be in age group between 10 and 17 years old. enrolled in public schools in the city of Canguçu/RS in the rural zone full-time that have professors with academic training in the area of EF will be allocated in intervention group (IG) and control group (CG). The GI will participate in the inclusion of 15 minutes of functional exercises during the PE class and the GC will continue with the PE classes as planning elaborated by the teachers and pedagogical coordination. The study variables will be organized into main dependents (physical parameters related to health), secondary dependents (parameters behavioral and psychological health-related), characterization of the participants, and independent. After the 12 weeks of intervention, the data will be collected again, in order to compare the data obtained before the intervention. The expected results after 12 weeks will be that the Group intervention has a significant improvement in the physical, behavioral and psychosocial parameters of health compared to the control group.
The goal of this study is to find out if doing a 16-week volleyball program integrated in physical education classes at school can make primary school students stronger, faster, and have better endurance. The study also wants to see whether the program can lead to changes in the students' body weight, body fat, and muscle mass.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effect of an intervention program with physical activity for 12 weeks on depression, social and emotional well-being and quality of life and health in adults with mild and moderate depression. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. - To determine the association of physical activity levels, sedentary behavior, sleep patterns, physical condition, diet, and general health status with mental and social well-being, and quality of life in a large sample of adult patients diagnosed with mild or moderate depression. 2. - To examine the predictive capacity of physical activity, sedentary behaviors, and physical condition on mild and moderate depressive disorder. 3. - To study the effect of a period without an intervention program with physical activity (8 weeks without exercise intervention) on the variables studied. 4. - To examine the role of the endocannabinoid system on depression as well as its behavior after an intervention program of physical activity. Participants will be involved in a physical activity intervention program for 12 weeks. Researchers will compare intervention group and control group to see if an intervention program with physical activity for 12 weeks improve depression, social and emotional well-being and quality of life and health in adults with mild and moderate depression.
Evaluation of healthy young adults regarding balance, core strength/core stability and physical fitness. Correlation of primary outcome parameters and selected secondary parameters.
Majority of the existing studies on the high intensity training of referees are heart rate-based prescription. It is probably the most commonly measured physiological marker used to control or measure exercise intensity in the field.Indeed, speed-based intensity training is more acute than heart rate-based training on the intensity of physical work performed above v/pVO2max. This study the setting of exercise intensity reference the ending velocity of the 30-15 intermittent fitness test.
The aims of this study are: 1. To determine the correlation between pulmonary functions and physical fitness in children with β-thalassemia. 2. To differentiate between different types of B-thalassemia in both pulmonary functions and physical fitness
The aim of the study is to compare physical fitness, walking speed and hand reaction time measurements in older adults with different cognition levels according to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MOCA).
A lack of studies has applied elastic band resistance training exercises on hospitalized elderly, so the effect of elastic band resistance training exercises on physical fitness and risk of falls was unclear. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to investigate the effectiveness of elastic band resistance training on improving physical fitness and reducing the risk of falls in hospitalized elderly with high risk of falls. This study is an experimental study. The experimental group was given 3 times a week for 2 consecutive weeks of elastic band resistance training, while the control group was given regular rehabilitation exercises. The differences in physical fitness and fall risk between the two groups were examined.
