Filter by:The RESPONSE-2- peripheral arterial disease (PAD) program will be implemented to modify sedentary time in patients with PAD. It is an adapted version of the RESPONSE that aims to reduce sedentary behavior in individuals with diabetes. The RESPONSE-2-PAD is a multicomponent program involves an online educational component, sedentary reminders and health coaching sessions, which are designed to modify patients' sedentary behavior.
ASDactive is a theory-based behaviour change intervention aimed at improving the physical activity behaviours of autistic youth. The feasibility of the intervention will be tested through interviews with participants and stakeholders. "Proof of concept" will be tested through preliminary measures of physical activity measured before and after the intervention.
The purpose of the study is to study changes in sedentary behavior following a behavioral intervention (sit-and-stand desk, and cycloergometer)
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.
Physical inactivity is an increasing problem in the general population in society. However, in people with disabilities, inactivity is even more frequently reported. Physical activity on prescription (PAP) is a well-established method to enhance physical activity. The prescribed physical activity can be activities such as walking, cycling, swimming, or gardening, and should be performed over a longer period. In children with cerebral palsy, PAP has shown to be feasible to increase participation in physical activity and to reduce sedentary behaviour, and the habilitation services in the Region of Skåne have decided to offer PAP to all children and youth with disabilities. It is of great importance to study these interventions when applied on a broader group of patients than previously studied. The aim is to study the effects of an individualised and health-enhancing intervention in physically inactive people with autism, intellectual and physical disabilities. Also, the cost-effectiveness of PAP will be studied. 60 physically inactive children, aged 8- 17 years, and 20 adults, with autism, intellectual or physical disability will be included. The participants are recruited by their clinical physiotherapists, who also will be carrying out the PAP-intervention. The self-selected physical activity/activities may either be a physical activity organized by a club and/or an everyday activity such as walking a dog or riding a bicycle to school. Each participant fills in an activity logbook. Motivational interviewing will be used to support the participants. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure can be used to identify what activities the participants are motivated to do, and to detect changes in the participants' perception of their performance of the activity. Quality of life will be monitored. Physical activity will be measured through the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and a movement monitor (accelerometer). Study specific questionnaires will be filled in regarding costs and background information. Data on health care use of the participants will retrospectively be collected and studied using the health care database in Region Skåne. Data will be collected at 3 months prior to the intervention, just before the intervention starts, when the intervention is finished, and at 6, 12 and 24 months after the intervention. The study has been approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority.
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.
The proposed multicomponent digital health intervention has the potential to significantly impact the trajectory of maternal health in a rural, pregnant, Black adolescent population with the highest risks for cardiometabolic diseases worldwide. The proposed implementation strategy leverages mobile technologies which are ubiquitous across the socioeconomic gradient and proposes to train young adult WIC moms to deliver peer health coaching in a telehealth setting to address social barriers and support behavior change in pregnant, Black adolescent WIC clients in the Mississippi Delta - a rural region where the population is more than two-thirds percent Black and the teen birth rate is the highest in the United States. This is a scalable and sustainable approach to enhance WIC services and improve WIC's impact on population health and cardiometabolic health disparities in Black women.
This pilot study aims to examine the feasibility and acceptability of adding a cardiovascular health module to the existing Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) home visitation program delivered by trained nurses in the Northern Appalachian region of Central Pennsylvania.
