In this study, the investigators will be able to estimate the metabolic cost of several foundational suspension training exercises.
The purpose of this investigation was to compare supplementation with 5-HTP to placebo on indices of body composition. A randomized trial compared a sample of 48 resistance-trained individuals taking either 100 mg of 5-hydroxytryptophan supplementation or a placebo. The investigators tested anthropometric measurements using a multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance device (InBody® 270). The primary outcome (i.e., changes in anthropometric measurements) was assessed at the first visit (pre-test-) and post-test (8 weeks). Secondary outcomes include resting heart rate, blood pressure, and dietary intake.
A low glycemic multigrain flour for chapattis will be made from grains and cereals that are easily available in Pakistan. The nutritional profile and composition of test flour will be checked through proximate analysis method determined by AOAC. GI of test flour will be determined by comparing it with a reference food. The participants will be fed reference food i.e., 50gm glucose dissolved in 250ml water and test food serving having 50gm of available carbohydrates separately after an overnight fast. Finger prick method will be used to determine blood glucose levels at 0,15, 30, 45, 90 minutes. Trapezoidal rule will be used to determine iAUC and GI and GL will be determined by using standard formulas. Efficacy of test flour will be checked by human clinical trial. Control group will be fed chapatis made from test flour for 90 days. Anthropometry, body composition and biochemical measures including HbA1c, blood glucose (fasting and random) and lipid profile will be analyzed pre- and post-intervention and differences in their readings will be compared.
The purpose of this study was to determine if use of omega-3 PUFA supplement in combination with a singer's training regimen enhances training adaptations and body composition.
The main objective is to study the effects of the intake of a nutraceutical on health indicators, focused on sleep and stress, as well as cardiovascular (blood pressure...), circulating (cortisol) and body composition parameters in a Spanish adult population.
This study aims to assess the effect of physical activity on food intake and appetite in older adults (≥ 65 years) and to investigate the relationship between older adults' eating behaviours, body composition and physical activity.
Celiac disease (CD) is an immunological disorder that mainly affects the small intestine, generating an inflammatory process in response to the presence of gluten (a protein). Autoimmune diseases are part of a group of diseases that are difficult to diagnose without a specific protocol or consensus to detect them due to the number of symptoms and diseases with which it has a relationship. The incidence of CD in Spain -according to data from the rest of the European Economic Community, since there is no study on incidence in Spain- is assumed to be approximately 1 per 100 live births. It is more frequent in women, with a 2:1 ratio. The only treatment consists of a STRICT GLUTEN-FREE DIET FOR LIFE. This results in the disappearance of symptoms, normalization of serology and recovery of intestinal villi. Failure to follow the diet can lead to important complications which, especially in adulthood, can manifest themselves in the form of osteopenia, osteoporosis and a high risk of neoplasms in the digestive tract, mainly. The main objective is to achieve a physical and physiological improvement in menopausal or post-menopausal celiac women. The specific objectives will be to know the influence of a dietary-nutritional program combined with physical exercise in menopausal or post-menopausal celiac women on: - Physical condition (strength, endurance, functional autonomy...). - Body composition. - Psychological aspects. - Physiological parameters (heart rate, maximum oxygen consumption, blood analysis...).
The purpose of this data collection is to establish the validity and reliability of several different commercially available bioelectrical impedance analysis devices that are used to estimate body composition.
To study the effects of the use of a mobile application plus recommendations based on a Mediterranean diet on the intake of micronutrients from natural sources (not drugs) on health indicators, cardiovascular parameters (blood pressure...), physical condition and body composition in a Spanish adult population.
