Can a Novel Manual Therapy Technique Help Relieve Stress? Assessing Effects of Primal Reflex Release on the Body's Stress Response

Start date: March 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Stress, when left unmanaged, can have detrimental effects on both physical and mental health, contributing to conditions such as high blood pressure, anxiety, and even cardiovascular disease. Effective stress management therapies may help maintain overall well-being and reduce the risk of long-term health complications. The Primal Reflex Release Technique (PRRT) is a novel manual therapy that may reduce markers related to stress such as heart rate variability (HRV) and patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to elucidate the potential for PRRT to improve HRV and PROs.

Stressors and Recovery Regulation on the Super-compensation Effect

Start date: September 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Purpose: Investigating the effects of stressors and recovery regulation on the super-compensation effect of high-intensity intensive training (IT) in endurance athletes. Methods: This study will recruit 176 competitively trained endurance adult athletes. Participants will conduct a 7-week 3-stage experiment, including 3 weeks of regular training, 3 weeks of 130% progressive IT, and 1 week of 55% taper. Measurement will include training responses (performance and fatigue symptoms), stressors, recovery regulation, and mood state at baseline, during and after regular training, IT, and taper separately. According to the performance after taper, all participants will category into either the responder or non-responder of well-response to supercompensation effect. Statistic analysis: Independent t-test, Chi-squared test, and binary logistic regression will be used to compare the difference in training responses, stressors, recovery regulation, and mood state characteristics between responder and non-responder groups. P value sets at 0.15 for identifying the potential predictors. Logistic stepwise multiple regression will be used further to determine the significant predictors for the responders of well-response to the super-compensation among endurance athletes. P value sets at 0.05.

Supporting Secondary School Student Wellbeing Through a Mobile App and Wearable Biofeedback

EWSSS
Start date: March 11, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to investigate the effects of an app and wearable device on the wellbeing of secondary school students. The app will offer support for stress management, sleep improvement, and time management. Additionally, it will provide access to educational resources, text-based coaching, and biofeedback monitoring through the wearable device. The device, worn around the wrist, will measure heart rate variability as an indicator of stress response. Throughout the study, students will complete bi-monthly surveys on sleep, stress, and overall wellbeing. To assess the specific impact of each feature, the app features will be released incrementally over the course of a year. The intervention group, comprising students in their last two years of secondary school, will have access to the app and wearable device, while a control group within the same class will not use the system but will complete the same wellness surveys. Coaches on this platform will come from the Centre for Positive Health Sciences MSc in Positive Health Coaching as part of their continued training in coaching. Coaching will be asynchronous so that students can post questions at any time during the day, but coaches will respond within 24 hours, during office hours. It will be made clear that this is not a therapeutic service and will be directed to other resources for these services. Coaches will file an incident report if a risk arises from a message with participants. Participants will be given guidelines for the type of questions they can ask such as asking for advice for setting goals related to their digital habits and sleeping better. The study's findings will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of the app and wearable device in enhancing student wellbeing leading up to their leaving certification exams.

Urban Care Farming on Living Well and Productive Engagement of Older Adults

Start date: November 28, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of the randomized controlled trials is to learn about the effects of urban farming interventions on older adults' physical, mental, and social well-being of older adults aged 50 and above. The main questions the study aims to answer are Q1. Would participants who have undergone the urban care farming intervention have lower stress levels compared to those who did not undergo the intervention? Q2. Would the quality of life and biopsychosocial factors of older adults who participate in the urban farming interventions be better before the intervention and compared to those who did not participate? Q3. Would running intervention programs as such demonstrate cost-effectiveness? Participants will be enrolled in 24 weekly lessons providing hands-on urban farming techniques, including physical activity, planting, and social interactions. Researchers will compare older participants with similar demographic profile to determine if the biological, psychological, and social factors are better for the intervention group.

A Digital Active Aging Training Program for Older Adults

AAT
Start date: March 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The proposed project aims to develop and validate a multi-dimensional digital active aging program integrated with resilience to promote the biopsychosocial functions of older adults aged 60, including Chinese older immigrants in Canada (Study 1) and English-speaking White Canadian older adults (Study 2). The proposed study takes a typical pretest-training-posttest design. Pretest and posttest: a battery of outcome measures on physical, psychological, and social functions will be administered to all participants. Data will also be used to identify sociodemographic risk predictors for outcome variables (i.e., biopsychosocial functions and resilience). Training: the participants will be randomly assigned to three arms to receive 4 weeks of 16 training/practice/control treatment sessions delivered via Zoom. In the "active aging with resilience (AR)" condition, participants will complete physical, cognitive, and social engagement training modules, starting with a 30-min resilience-building module. The traditional "active aging" (AA) training involves the same multi-domain active aging training without the initial resilience-building module. The "workshop training" (WT) control condition involves workshops following the same 4-week schedule on aging-related topics.
