Filter by:Active video games are presented as an exercise option for children with little interest in traditional sports. The main objectives of this study are: 1. To evaluate the effects of an active video game program on cardiometabolic risk in overweight/obese children 2. to identify the effect of this intervention on physical fitness 3. to study possible changes in the sedentary lifestyles of children after the exercise program. This is a randomized crossover study, with 2 intervention periods of 9 months each, and a 3-month period of washing. Ninetytwo children between 9 and 11 years old who are overweight or obese will be included and randomly assigned to one of the 2 homogeneous groups (control-intervention). Both groups will receive education in healthy lifestyles, and the intervention group will also follow a physical exercise program with active video games (3-4 days/week). The sessions will last between 30 and 45 minutes and will include different moderate-vigorous aerobic activities and muscular strength exercises. Body composition, physical fitness, levels of leptin, adiponectin and visfatin, lipid and ferric profiles, and markers of inflammation and metabolic risk such as insulin resistance, TNF-α, CRP, ALT, AST, gamma-GT and IL-6will be measured before and after the intervention. In addition, dietary habits (24h recalls), physical activity (accelerometers), blood pressure, waist and neck circumference, and pubertal development will be also assessed.
This 2-site randomized double blinded controlled trial is to confirm and more definitively clarify the impact of a 12-week course of nitrite versus placebo on mitochondrial bioenergetics in older sedentary adults. This investigator will take an integrative physiology approach to determine the effect of nitrite therapy on a comprehensive assessment of mitochondrial energetics, skeletal muscle vascular function, and whole body physical function (cardiorespiratory function, exercise endurance, strength, balance, and physical activity) and fatigability.
The Strong People Strength Training study aims to assess whether a community-based progressive strength training program can improve risk factors for diabetes and heart disease in older rural adults.
The investigators hypothesize that cycling for 1 hour of exercise at 65% peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) after sitting >13 hr/day (SIT+EX) will not be different in postprandial plasma insulin responses compared to the control of only sitting (SIT). Furthermore, the investigators hypothesize that the SIT and SIT+EX groups will have a less favorble insulin response compared to the physically active group after performing the same 1-hour exercise bout (ACTIVE+EX).
The purpose of this project is to assess if playing a newly developed videogame that require physical activity (e.g. exergame) can lead to increased physical activity, aerobic fitness and health benefits in sedentary adults. The project will include 28 sedentary adults, 18 years and above, who are not sufficiently active according to current guidelines defined as doing (<150 minutes/week of moderate intensity physical activity or <75 minutes/week of vigorous physical activity and/or do not do any regular endurance training ). The physical fitness (maximal oxygen consumption), blood pressure, body composition and objectively measured physical activity will be tested before and after the intervention period. Also, the participants gaming frequency will be registered throughout the 8 week period. Aim of this study is to investigate if access to this game can provide health benefits for adults who are not motivated to take part in regular physical activity.
Regulation of mitochondrial health in overweight and obese individuals may be impaired. The purpose of this study is to identify impairments in regulation of mitochondrial health within skeletal muscle and to determine if short-term exercise training (2-weeks) can reverse such impairments. The investigator's hypothesis is that pathways that serve to degrade poorly functioning mitochondria in overweight and obese individuals are down-regulated, but that short-term exercise training can restore these pathways to improve skeletal muscle mitochondrial function.
To examine whether starting an exercise program with or without education can influence dietary choices in previously sedentary of 20-40 years.
Sedentarism is the fourth risk factor for worldwide mortality and morbility. Considering the high prevalence of sedentarism (57.0%) and obesity (30.5%) in Azores islands (Portugal), local primary health care (PHC) services should support the implementation of complementary interventions and the development of medical research in the area of active lifestyle promotion. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a 6-months functional training program (FTP), which includes a group nutrition counseling, in sedentary users of Ponta Delgada Health Center (PDHC), compared to a waiting list control.
To determine the Effects of 6 weeks of Step Aerobics Training on Pulmonary Functions among females with sedentary life style. Traditional aerobic training programs has great effects to improved pulmonary functions in individuals with sedentary life style but on the other hand there is another type of aerobic training named step aerobic which is different from traditional training up-to knowledge has less work on pulmonary function but effective on functional score, and walking velocity this gap further need to identify. This study will help us to choose either of training program to get maximum beneficial outcomes particularly on pulmonary function test on female students with sedentary life style.
The purpose of the study is to determine if a 6-week exercise training program promotes exercise-induced metabolic flexibility, that is, the ability to switch fuel sources for energy, in older prediabetic adults.
