Purpose: To determine the effects of three Short Moderate Intensity Continuous Training (SMICT) exercise programs with different durations, on functional capacity, resting heart rate (RHR) and physical activity enjoyment in sedentary women. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was performed. 45 sedentary women were randomly allocated to either a: i) 8-minutes short exercise group; ii) 10-minutes short exercise group; and iii) 15-minutes short exercise group. All three groups received a short exercise training program at moderate intensity for 3 sessions/week, over 3 weeks. Before and after the interventions, functional capacity was evaluated through the 6-minute walking test, and RHR with a pulse oximeter. Physical activity enjoyment was measured with the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale after the intervention.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of 8-week online delivered exercise program on actual and perceived physical fitness components.
The goal of this observational study is to examine the associations among fall risk appraisal, body composition, and physical activity in older adults in low-income settings. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the feasibility of recruitment (e.g., how many older adults need to be screened to recruit the sample?), especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, and acceptability of technologies and procedures for use among older adults in low-income settings? - What are the the dynamic relationships between fall risk appraisal, body composition, physical activity, and behavioral changes related to fear of falling? Participants will: - complete questionnaires about their characteristics, socio-demographic, medical history, cognition, depressive symptoms, anxiety, and fear of falling. - participate in static and dynamic balance tests, body composition measurement and handgrip strength test. - wear an accelerometer for physical activity assessment for 7 consecutive days.
The aim of the study was to determine the effects of specialized strength training protocol on the functional movement status of office workers, and to assess and evaluate the quality of movement patterns and identify any limitations that may exist in order to prevent musculoskeletal injuries, using Functional movement screening. Randomized controlled trials done at Codistan Ventures and Zakori Industries Private Limited. The sample size was 100. The subjects were divided in two groups, 50 subjects in Specialized Strength Training Protocol group and 50 in 30 minute walk group. Study duration was of 6 months. Sampling technique applied was non probability connivance sampling technique. Only 20-35 years office desk workers with no known musculoskeletal deformity were included. Tool used in the study was Functional Movement Screening Test.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of different volumes of plyometric training on lower limb muscle strength, power, and muscle activity in sedentary individuals. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - What is the minimum volume of plyometric training that can induce changes in lower limb strength and power variables? - How does muscle activity in the lower limbs vary with different volumes of plyometric training? Participants will be asked to: - Complete questionnaires to determine their level of physical activity. - Attend pre and post-evaluations of lower limb muscle activity, strength, and power during an instrumented sit-to-stand test. - Perform lower limb plyometric exercises, such as jumps, hops, and bounds. - Attend supervised training sessions three times a week for a duration of 4 weeks. Researchers will compare three groups to see if the minimum volume of plyometric training can be identified.
Reduced-exertion high-intensity training (REHIT) is a novel form of exercise known for being non-classical, time-efficient, and effective on different populations. However, REHIT was scarcely tested on sedentary women with mortality risks. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of REHIT versus short moderate-intensity training (SMIT) on functional capacity, resting heart rate (RHR), and activity enjoyment in sedentary young women.
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.
In today's modern workplace, desk-based work is prevalent, leading to prolonged periods of sitting and limited physical activity among workers. This sedentary behavior can have detrimental effects on the physical and mental health of employees. Besides, this behavior contributes to the rising incidence of metabolic and general health problems in workers, even independently of their physical activity levels, leading to reduced productivity for the company and an increased economic burden on public health. The Up Project is a Quasi-experimental controlled trial designed to assess the efficacy of two interventions to reduce sedentary behavior in the workplace. The study involves three groups: a) a control group, b) a group with booster breaks (led by professionals), and c) a group with unled computer prompts. The primary outcomes being measured are cardiometabolic risk and stress perception, while secondary outcomes include physical activity, sedentary behavior, and occupational pain. This study is expected to contribute to the research gap in this area by providing valuable insights into the efficacy of interventions aimed at reducing sedentary behavior and its impact on health in the workplace.
Ms. FIT pilot is a pilot study of a 3-arm RCT with equal recruitment and stratification of pre and postmenopausal women with risk factors for chronic disease to: 1) Canadian guidelines-based physical activity alone; 2) Canadian guidelines-based physical activity and healthy eating; or 3) stretching attention control. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the interventions. The objectives are to: 1) pilot test the intervention delivery protocol in a real-world application (management and technical capabilities of the research group); 2) evaluate adherence and participant acceptability of a combined in-person and virtual intervention delivery in both pre and post-menopausal women; 3) identify the preliminary efficacy of the interventions on select cardiometabolic risk markers.
