Filter by:The goal of this prospective, cross-sectional study is to develop updated reference values for the Muscle Power Sprint Test (MPST) in children aged 5-12 years. The main question it aims to answer is: • What are reference ('normal') values for the MPST in children aged 5-12 years? Participants will be asked to perform six short sprints of fifteen meters each, with a ten-second rest between each effort.
The goal of this retrospective longitudinal observational study is to compare the effects of physical and mental performance as well as quality of life in patients with neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. The main question it aims to answer is: Do very old patients benefit in a similar way from inpatient rehabilitation like younger patients? Data from about 2000 patients will be retrospectively analyzed. Functional Independence Measurement (FIM), Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), EuroQol 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) and Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) were recorded on admission and discharge. Researchers will compare the age group 75 to 84 and 85 to 99 to see if physical and mental performance as well as quality of life will improve.
The goal of this clinicaltrial is to assess and compare isokinetic performance, surface electromyography, laboratory parameters, and cardiorespiratory function both before and after engaging in vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity(VILPA) within a healthy population. The main question it aims to answer is: [1] Does VILPA yield effective outcomes? Throughout the course of the trial, participants will engage in a simulated regimen of vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity for a duration of 8 weeks. The efficacy of the exercise protocol will be quantified and evaluated through the utilization of a wearable device.
To date, no study has shown the effects of diets (normoglucidic or ketogenic) on type I diabetes during physical activity (hiking, ski touring) at altitude. The ketogenic diet in the general population is increasingly studied scientifically, but no clinical trial has studied it in type I diabetic patients during physical activity at altitude. Similarly, no study has investigated the effects of this diet on ketone and blood glucose levels in athletes during physical activity at altitude. Therefore, its impact on blood glucose and ketone levels during exercise at altitude is unknown in healthy and type I diabetic subjects. Since the investigators are studying ketonemia at altitude, and since ketonemia depends on insulin and carbohydrate intake, it is necessary to also study a control group with the same diet, in order to analyse whether the results obtained at altitude are related to the diet alone or to the diet in the context of diabetes. In order to avoid certain biases and confounding factors, the type I diabetic group will be compared to a control group of healthy subjects, in which the subjects have the same diet as the diabetic group. This is a pioneering study, of significant interest because the ketogenic diet is recent and rapidly increasing in interest in diabetic patients, with no scientific data for mountain physical activity. Doctors, diabetologists and sports doctors, are still without data to advise their diabetic patients who wish to follow a ketogenic diet on the benefits/risks of this diet, or to explain to them how to react to physical activity in the mountains.
Menopause; cessation of menstruation due to cessation of follicular activity is the transition from the reproductive period to non-reproductive life. Considering that the average life expectancy is increasing, women spend most of their lives in the menopausal period. Women who have a positive attitude towards menopause have a positive body image, experience less depressive experiences, and the severity of menopause symptoms decreases. It has also been assumed that spiritual well-being is effective in reducing the severity of menopause symptoms and anxiety, supporting positive body image, and coping with losses. Baduanjin exercise is a type of body mind exercise. It increases the production of life energy and distributes it to different aspects of the body. It is thought that the baduanjin body-mind exercise to be applied to perimenopausal women will have positive effects on the spiritual well-being of menopausal women and their attitudes towards menopause. Thus, it is expected that women's transition and adaptation to the menopause process will be easier.
The Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol was first developed for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients and was found to be valid and reliable, but there is no validity and reliability study of the Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol in IPF patients. The purpose of the study is to Examine the Validity and Reliability of the Londrina Activities of Daily Living Protocol in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) patients.

Circadian rest-Activity Rhythm disorders (CARDs) are common in patients with cancer, particularly in advanced disease. CARDs are associated with increased symptoms, poorer quality of life, poorer response to anticancer treatments and shorter survival. The goal of this observational study is to see how common CARDs are in patients with advanced cancer and to characterise their rest and activity patterns in more detail. A recent study has outlined a standard way to assess and diagnose a CARD. This study aims to assess patients with advanced cancer for a CARD using a novel screening tool against this newly formed diagnostic criteria. Potentially modifiable risk factors will be considered along with associations between CARDs and symptoms, sleep preferences, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, quality of life measures and predictors of survival.
The goal of this study will be to examine the implementation and preliminary efficacy of a teacher taught gross motor skill-based physical activity (PA) intervention on cognitive variables in low low socio-economic (SES) preschoolers. The movement and cognition intervention will be implemented for 4 days per week for 6 months. Primary outcome variables will be processed evaluation data. Secondary outcome variables will be changes in children's cognitive function (executive functions and memory), gross motor skills, and PA levels at baseline, 3- and 6-month.
If a subject agrees to participate, the primary investigators will collect some basic information including age, height, and weight. Intake of some general questions regarding health will be performed and each subject will complete some tests that measure walking speed, cognition, and balance. During these tests participants will be asked to stand from a chair, walk up & down a staircase, walk over objects in a forward, backward, and sideways directions, walk around objects in forward and backward directions. After completing those tests, participants will be asked to repeat them while doing another task such as counting out loud, naming objects, or passing an object from one hand to another.
