Filter by:Previous studies suggested that most patients with Cardiac Electronic Implantable devices have a perception of describing the lifestyle due to a limitation of daily activities and physical exercise, besides the consequences in the psychological aspects such as anxiety and depression. The MHOL-CEID is a randomized controlled trial that Verifies the effectiveness of the Mobile Health of lifestyle that focuses on aspects of physical functional, psychosocial, and quality of life of patients with Cardiac Electronic Implantable Device.
Levels of physical activity (PA) and physical fitness in children are low and declining, both globally and in Sweden. Preschools are important settings with the potential to influence the majority (>93%) of Swedish children's PA behaviors in early stage of life (<5 years). Preschool policy is an organizational level factor associated with children's PA but the casual link remains unclear. A cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing a policy package for children's PA levels and other relevant health indicators.
A sequential, mixed-methods study exploring sedentary behaviour among General Practitioners and General Practice Specialty Trainees.
The purpose of this study is to test and validate a new questionnaire (SAPHIR) in order to get an evaluation of patients physical activity.
Examine the impact of the BAILAMOS (TM) dance program on lifestyle physical activity
The study aims to investigate the effects of including regular heat therapy when included to exercise. Specifically, participants in the sauna intervention group will undergo 15 minutes of sauna exposure immediately after a 50-minute session of exercise, 3 times a week, while participants in the exercise intervention group will follow only the same exercise protocol. The 50-minute exercise session consists of 20 minutes of moderate intensity strength exercise, followed by 30 minutes of moderate-vigorous aerobic exercise on stationary bikes. This exercise intervention protocol was selected in order to meet and adhere to the recommended physical activity guidelines.
Regular physical activity (PA) is essential to healthy aging. Unfortunately, only 5% of US adults meet guideline of 150 minutes of moderate exercise; Veterans and non-Veterans have similar levels of PA. A patient incentive program for PA may help. Behavioral economics suggests that the chronic inability to start and maintain a PA routine may be the result of "present bias," which is a tendency to value immediate rewards over rewards in the future. With present bias, it is always better to exercise tomorrow because the immediate gratification of watching television or surfing the internet is a more powerful motivator than the intangible and delayed benefit of future health. Patient incentives may overcome present bias by moving the rewards for exercise forward in time. Recent randomized trials suggest that incentives for PA can be effective, but substantial gaps in knowledge prevent the implementation of a PA incentive program in Veterans Affairs (VA). First, incentive designs vary considerably. They vary by the size of the incentive, the type of incentive (cash or non-financial), the probability of earning an incentive (an assured payment for effort or a lottery-based incentive), or whether the incentive is earned after the effort is given (a gain-framed incentive) or awarded up-front and lost if the effort is not given (a loss-framed incentive). The optimal combination of these components for a Veteran population is unknown. Second, the evidence about the effective components of incentives comes from studies conducted in populations that were overwhelmingly female; often employees at large companies, with high levels of education and income. VA users, in contrast, are mostly male and lower income, and most are not employed. This is important because the investigators have theoretical reasons to believe that the effects of components of incentives are likely to vary by income and gender. Finally, few studies have managed to design an incentive such that the physical activity was maintained after the incentive was removed. Indeed, a common theme in incentivizing health behavior change is the difficulty in sustaining behavior change once the incentives are removed.
To test the feasibility of an intervention designed to replace sedentary time with physical activity in older Latinos, delivered in their homes to improve cognitive function and brain connectivity.
Goal of the Program: To develop personal and group ability for participants in the DPP to plan and implement health promotion programs. Objectives: 1. Develop skills in the planning, implementation, and assessment of community-based health promotion programs 2. Personal, group and community capacity development in health promotion
As the number of cancer survivors grows and expected survival time increases, the health behaviors of this population are gaining significant attention from the research and public health community. Adoption or maintenance of healthy lifestyles after cancer has the potential to reduce both cancer- and non-cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Exercise adoption and maintenance remains a significant challenge for adults, especially clinical populations such as cancer survivors who may struggle with comorbidities, symptoms and side-effects of the disease or medications, and overall compromised health and functioning. A number of site-based exercise interventions have been conducted to promote physical activity, often using a theoretical basis to design and execute the intervention. Although these programs are successful in exposing cancer survivors to regular physical activity, they often struggle with exercise maintenance after the conclusion of the structured site-based group exercise sessions. The goal of the proposed project is to enhance physical activity engagement among adult cancer survivors by designing a home-based program using the socio-ecological framework and employing constructs from social cognitive theory to guide participants through the project.
