Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a strength training-based intervention on exercise adherence among low active (defined as engaging in physical activity 90 minutes or less per week), pre-menopausal women ages 40-50, along with the effect on weight and various psychosocial measures. Participants will be randomly assigned to a strength training-based intervention or a wait-list control each lasting three months (participants in the no contact, wait-list control condition will have the option of receiving the strength training-based intervention following the three months).
This study is a randomized, factorial experiment using the basic Science of Behavior Change (SOBC) approach to efficiently test the effects of four distinct behavior change techniques (BCTs), goal setting, action planning, self- monitoring and feedback, thought to engage one key behavioral mechanism of action (MoA) for improving daily walking by at least 1000 steps per day in persons who have been objectively verified as sedentary and are at risk for cardiovascular disease.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of regular aerobic exercise program on tanatophobia and sleep quality in elderly individuals, and to evaluate the relationship between sleep disorder and fear of death.
The focus of this study is to test the efficacy of a 12-week, remotely delivered, positive-psychology-motivational interviewing (PP-MI) intervention, with additional twice weekly text messages for a total of 24 weeks (with interactive, algorithm-driven, goal-focused text messages in the final 12 weeks), compared to post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treatment as usual, in a randomized trial of 280 post-ACS patients with low baseline physical activity.
This is a 3-month physical activity intervention aimed to increase moderate-intensity activity among previously inactive breast cancer survivors. Participants will be eligible if they are not currently active, and have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Upon eligibility, participants will be randomized into one of two groups. The intervention group will receive weekly guidance from a peer coach to increase their activity throughout the three month intervention. The control group will be encouraged to self-monitor their physical activity throughout the three month intervention. Both groups will receive a Fitbit. Peer coaches will be trained to deliver the physical activity program using a web-based platform; all calls will be virtual. Participants will be assessed before and after the intervention.
This research project aims to determine whether post exercise hot water immersion can improve vascular and cardiometabolic health to a greater extent than post exercise thermoneutral water immersion in healthy middle-aged adults. The study will take place over an 8 week period where participants will do a combination of aerobic exercise and water immersion 3 times per week. The study will be a randomised controlled trial comparing 8-weeks of post exercise hot water immersion (EX+HWI) to post exercise thermoneutral water immersion (EX+TNWI).
The goal of the proposed project is to conduct a feasibility clinical trial comparing group-based acceptance and commitment therapy for physical activity, (ACT; ACTivity) to a time- and attention-matched standard PA intervention (i.e., PA education, goal-setting, and self-monitoring) plus relaxation training comparison condition (Relaxercise) among 60 low-active adults (ages 18-65) with elevated depressive symptoms. Participants will be randomized to treatment condition, followed for 6 months, including the 8-week treatment. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to treatment condition, followed for 6 months, including the 8-week treatment, and receive a 6-month YMCA membership to equate access to PA facilities.
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death and disease in Chile. It explains 27.6% of the causes of death and 14% of disabled adjusted life years in the Chilean population. Low levels of physical activity and low levels of adherence to pharmacological therapy are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease in at-risk populations. This project will design and test the effectiveness of a mobile application based on gamification theory for improving cardiovascular disease control in a population of 900 primary care patients with moderate or high cardiovascular risk levels. A randomized controlled trial was designed to test the effect of the App in improving 30% of the levels of physical activity and adherence to pharmacological therapy and a significant reduction of 20% in cardiovascular risk levels.
Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) allows knowing the subject's feelings in terms of distress and well-being, as well as her perception of her current and future health. Objective: Evaluate the associations between health-related quality of life, physical state, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet in a cohort of Spanish children and adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in a cohort of 305 (47.2% women) children and adolescents aged between 8 and 16 years, in the Primary and Secondary Schools of the province of Ávila (Spain). For the analysis of the different variables, the subjects were classified according to their quality of life in three groups from highest to lowest (Group 1 > Group 2 > Group 3).
Tai Chi is a kind of traditional martial arts in China, which has a remarkable function in healthcare. It has been used in many diseases as a complementary theory. The Chinese government attaches much importance to university students' physical and psychological health. However, there is an indisputable fact that the health condition of university students is declining, according to the report of the education ministry of China 2021. Tai Chi is a solid supplement to physical education and how to improve the physical health of university students through Tai Chi is the key to university physical education. This experimental research examines the effectiveness and the differences of two types of Chen Taichi training methods on the physical and psychological health of college students in China. Finally, to evaluate if the Chen Taichi with developed guidelines can improve the college students' physical and psychological health.
