Filter by:Recent evidence suggests that increased berry intake results in a variety of health benefits, across multiple health domains. This 3-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assess the effects of combining daily blueberry intake with weekly exercise (BB-EX) on cardiovascular function, as well as physical activity and cognitive function, in sedentary older adults (>60 years). We will compare these effects to the same outcomes with a control group consuming a blueberry placebo (P-EX) at 0, 4, 8 and 12 weeks.
Physical inactivity is a global challenge and there is an urgent need to find strategies to increases people's activity levels. Strength training is one of the activities that is recommended to engage in regularly by both the American College of Sports Medicine and the World Health Organization. Understanding how strength training can be done effectively without spending much time could potentially increase people's involvement in strength training, as lack of time often is reported as barrier to training. Superset strength training can potentially be a time-efficient way of strength training, as this training method has been found to take half the time of the traditional ways of training. The aim of the present study is therefore to compare the effects of superset strength training and traditional strength training on muscular strength, body composition and fatigue.
The objective of the project is to analyze the clinical effectiveness of a gamifield mHealth application (iGAME) and developed in the context of lifestyle modification, but with the approach of the Behaviour Change Technique, through a randomized clinical trial that affects secondary prevention in three clinical subtypes of noncommunicable diseases, where lifestyle modification is the center of its best practice.
The first aim of this study is to gain insight into older adults' perceptions towards a self-monitoring tool aimed at the reduction of sedentary behavior. Secondly, this study aimed to investigate the preliminary efficacy of a self-monitoring tool aimed at the reduction of sedentary behavior.
Kids FIRST was a 12-week, four arm, home- and school-based pilot randomised controlled trial to reduce screen-time and unhealthy snacking with assessments at pre- (baseline) and post-intervention. Four UK schools were randomised to control or one of three interventions - Group 1: targeting reductions in screen-time and unhealthy snacking (ST+Sn), Group 2: targeting reductions in screen-time only (ST), Group 3: targeting reductions in unhealthy snacking only (Sn). Intervention group parents received four online 'sessions' and four packages of resources which were tailored to each intervention group and focused on specific mediators of screen-time and/or unhealthy snacking. Children received four 30-minute lessons during school time, followed by homework activities/challenges. Children and parents reported their own screen-time behaviours, children reported their own snacking behaviours, and completed questionnaires on individual, behavioural, social and physical home environmental variables. Descriptive analyses were undertaken using principles of intention to treat.
The University of Missouri's Stay Strong, Stay Healthy (SSSH) program is an eight week strength training class for older adults. Exercise training programs, like SSSH, can increase muscle mass and strength, improve bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and related fractures, improve diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, depression, and obesity; and increase self-confidence, sleep and vitality in older adults. Specifically, the SSSH program has been shown to increase elderly individuals' confidence in their physical abilities. The primary objective of this research study is to track physiologic changes and determine the effectiveness of the SSSH exercise intervention to improve balance and fall risk in older adults. Participant's balance, gait, muscle strength, body composition, and skeletal health will be compared to a walking group and to a sedentary control group prior to and immediately following the eight week exercise intervention. After the intervention period participants will have the opportunity to participate in an interview process to further discuss their experiences and perceptions regarding the intervention and their health.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an mHealth sedentary reduction program over a 6-month period of time in adults with past or present knee symptoms, injuries, or surgeries.
This trial studies how well resistance training with or without creatine monohydrate supplement works in improving body composition and health outcomes in patients with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Resistance training, with or without creatine monohydrate supplement, may help to improve feelings of tiredness and overall physical function in patients with prostate cancer.
This study investigates the aspects related to the intake of food and nutrients, physical activity and sedentary behavior of Spanish children from 1 to 9 years. Furthermore, the investigators will know if the consumption of dairy products is associated with a better dietary pattern. Hypothesis: The habitual consumption of dairy products as part of a regular diet is associated with a better dietary pattern and a higher global diet quality.
The aim of this school-based cycling intervention called "Cycling and Walk to School" (PACO, for its Spanish acronym) will be to examine their effects on adolescent's cycling to and from school and physical activity (PA). This study will also examine the effects of this intervention in several active commuting to and from school (ACS)-related variables belonging to Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Social-Ecological Model (SEM).
