Filter by:The Children Sit Less, Move More (C-SLAMM) study aims to test the feasibility and potential effect of a multi-component school and home-based pilot cluster randomized control trial on reducing sedentary behavior and increasing physical activity in children. This pilot intervention will be an 8-week two-armed cluster RCT. Individuals (children aged 7-9 years) will be the unit of analysis and schools (cluster) randomly assigned to one of two arms: (1) Physical activity and sedentary behavior (intervention arm), or (2) current practice (control arm). The design conduct and reporting of the intervention with adhere to the Consolidation Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guidelines and is guided by the Standard Protocol Items for Randomized Trials (SPIRIT) Statement.
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.
Chronic liver disease eventually results in liver cirrhosis and is associated with an increasing deterioration in patients' physical fitness. As there is currently limited evidence regarding the effects of a home-based exercise program in patients with liver cirrhosis awaiting OLT, and physical frailty rates are particularly high in this patient population, this group has the investigators specific interest. The primary aim of this study is to assess the effect of a semi-supervised home-based bimodal lifestyle program, consisting of interval and endurance training and peripheral resistance training on aerobic capacity in patients with liver cirrhosis awaiting OLT
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a schoolgarden intervention on pupils food literacy, climate literacy, schoolmotivation and physical activity. The study will also investigate the contextual characteristics in the garden using systematic observations and the pupil´s experience of the intervention with focus-groups interviews.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of an online Multi-component psychological intervention, that is focused on reducing the consumption of ultra processed foods and increase the frequency of performing Physical Activity. At the same time to observe the effect on symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress.
People with severe mental disorders have a mortality rate 2 to 3 times higher than that of the general population, largely due to the presence of comorbidities, with a predominance of cardiovascular disease. This population has a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome compared to the healthy population. Several factors are involved. The usual pharmacological treatment in people with severe mental disorder is a risk factor for the development of metabolic syndrome and deterioration of physical condition. This is generally compounded by poor health care, high-calorie diets, a sedentary lifestyle, difficulties in coping with life situations that generate emotional states (anxiety and/or depression) that result in unhealthy lifestyle habits related to food, activity, interpersonal relationships, sleep, consumption habits (tobacco, alcohol and drugs) and other environmental factors. Physical exercise has been proposed as one of the most effective treatments to reverse the negative consequences of low levels of physical activity in this population. However, the mechanism of action of exercise on health status and the optimal "dose" and intensity of exercise to achieve the greatest number of benefits with respect to cardiometabolic health in patients with severe mental disorder are unknown.The study will be carried out at the Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit of Navarra, a center under the Mental Health Management of Osasunbidea, where people between 18 and 65 years of age with a diagnosis of severe mental illness in a situation of clinical stability receive treatment.The sample will be composed of 100 participants from consecutive admissions to the Rehabilitation Unit. The subjects will be randomized into 2 groups; a control group that will receive the usual specialized care and an intervention group, which in addition to receiving the usual rehabilitation treatment, will undergo a 6-week multicomponent physical exercise program performed 2 days per week. The effects of exercise on the inflammatory profile, metabolic parameters, physical condition, cognitive function, vascular function, muscle strength, health-related quality of life, lifestyle habits (diet, activation, sleep, substance use) and mood will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether interaction with an adaptive Fitbit-based goal setting application can increase levels of everyday light intensity physical activity in middle-aged adults.
Through a randomized, crossover, triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 15 physically inactive hypertensive women will participate a 8-day trial, each with two intervention protocols: 1) placebo and 2) beetroot; in which will ingest beet juice with or without NO3 in its composition with a 8-day washout interval.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the long-term effects of a personalized physical activity program on exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with stable cardiovascular disease. The analysis also intends to evaluate the prognostic value of cardiovascular function estimated through a walking test (1km Treadmill Walking Test, 1k-TWT) in relation to survival, hospitalization, and medical costs. The program considers clinical, socio-economic, and behavioural aspects, psychological support, and risk factor control. Patients receive indications for carrying out a home training program based on the performance of moderate-intensity aerobic activity at least 3-4 days a week for at least 30-60 minutes a day. All patients are also encouraged to improve their daily habits by preferring a more active lifestyle both at home and at work.
Patients admitted to the hospital often develop functional impairments due to being in bed most of the day. Each day of bedrest leads to significant muscle loss. As a result, many patients become dependent on others or require rehabilitation at a facility to improve mobility and function prior to returning home. Staff in the hospital is limited and often unable to mobilize patients every day while hospitalized. The investigators are testing a new experimental gamified physical therapy exercise software to see if it can be a fun, enjoyable way to help mobilize patients without the assistance of staff. The primary aim of this pilot/proof of concept study is to determine whether gamified physical therapy software can help inpatients exercise within the safety of their own beds and preserve pre-hospitalization function.
