Filter by:Objective: The aim of this study is to compare neuromuscular and aquatic Exercise programs on fall risk and physical function in geriatrics. Methods: As a result of the power analysis (G-Power), 36 participants are planned to be included in this study Block randomization will be used to divide participants into 2 groups, each with at least 18 participants: Group 1 (NE Group) and Group 2 (AE Group) (Randomizer.org). NE (Neuromuscular Exercise) group will participate in a 12-week exercise program consisting of sensorimotor system training, postural stability and control, global and local joint stabilization, balance training, muscle strength, breathing, and functional movement patterns.AE (Aqıuatic Exercise) Group will participate in an aquatic exercise program, which includes warm-up, mobility and strength, stretching, and cooling exercises in a 140 cm deep pool with a water temperature of 32 °. Data will be collected using the International Physical Activity Survey Short Form (IPAQ-SF), Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), Geriatric Pain Measure, Optojump-next (Microgate, Bolzano, Italy), 6-minute Walk Test, 30-second-Sit-to-Stand Test, Four Step Square Test, Berg Balance Scale, Fear of Falling Avoidance Behavior Questionnaire. Practice Implications: This current study will contribute to the understanding of how neuromuscular exercises affect falls and physical function in geriatrics.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the impact of a 16-week aerobic exercise regimen on the autonomic nervous system and endothelial function in patients with compensated cirrhosis who maintain sedentary lifestyles. The primary research question is: 1) What effect does 16 weeks of aerobic exercise have on changes in the autonomic nervous system and endothelial function in cirrhotic patients? Additionally, the secondary research questions are: 1. How does a 16-week aerobic exercise program influence changes in muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance in cirrhotic patients? 2. Is there a correlation between muscle mass and parameters of the autonomic nervous system in cirrhotic patients? Participants in the intervention group will undergo 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week for 16 weeks, accompanied by a personalized nutritional plan (1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of ideal body weight per day and a calorie intake of 35 kilocalories per kilogram of ideal body weight per day). The control group will solely receive nutritional guidance and maintain their sedentary lifestyle. The researchers will compare outcomes between these two groups.
