Filter by:This study will compare if using a continuous milk warmer to warm breast milk compared to the standard method of warming breast milk in a hot water bath improves weight gain and feeding tolerance in infants born at 32 weeks gestation or less over a ten-day period. The standard method does not keep the breast milk at a consistent temperature during the feeding. A continuous milk warmer maintains the breast milk at body temperature throughout the feeding. It is unknown which method improves weight gain and feeding tolerance in very low birth weight infants.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the effects of caloric restriction and exercise on body weight, cardiovascular metabolic markers, immune function, and intestinal flora among college students, as well as the underlying mechanisms.
Specific Aim #1: Pilot test a social network-informed CBPR-derived health promotion program for feasibility outcomes with overweight or obese adults from two immigrant communities. Specific Aim #2: Assess the preliminary impact of embedding a social network-informed CBPR-derived intervention within a regional health promotion resource hub on sustainability and uptake outcomes.
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of weighted rope jump training on physical fitness in taekwondo athletes. Randomized controlled trail was done on Total 52 male taekwondo players, aged between 13 to 19 years. Players were randomly divided into 2 groups at Khubaib Taekwondo Academy. Experimental group ( n=26) had weighted rope training for 8 weeks, 3 days in a week along with routine taekwondo training and control group (n=26) had to follow only routine training for 8 weeks. Agility t- test, 50 meter run test, sargent jump test, sit and reach test and yo-yo endurance test were performed at baseline, 4th and 8th week to assess the physical fitness in participants. Hand grip dynamometer was used to assess the upper limb strength.
The study investigates the effects of visual biofeedback, based on a sensorized system for the dynamic evaluation of the plantar pressure versus rehabilitation with traditional verbal instructions of the physiotherapist, on weight bearing distribution in patients who underwent first total hip replacement. The study is a randomized controlled trial, with parallel groups, without blinding.
Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17™ has shown promise in several pre-clinical and randomized controlled clinical trials for weight management outcomes. The current randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm trial will further assess L. gasseri BNR17™ on body composition and weight management, and in a study population that is distinct to prior randomized controlled trials on the strain. The study will recruit 126 overweight adult participants who will be randomly assigned to consume L. gasseri BNR17™ or placebo once daily for 12 weeks.
The hypothesis is to be tested that eating carbohydrate-reduced bread over three months leads to a significant weight difference compared to conventional, carbohydrate-rich bread.
A study to explore the relationship between early weight loss in the 4 weeks following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and outcomes, in terms of weight loss and comorbidity improvement, 7 years following the surgery.
The chronic phase of the study will evaluate the effects of pre-exercise and post-exercise ingestion of a multi-ingredient supplement on adaptations to a 6-week exercise program consisting of both resistance training and high intensity aerobic exercise, using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design. Participants will complete an enrollment/familiarization visit, a baseline testing session, followed by a 6-week supervised exercise intervention, and post-testing session identical to baseline testing. Participants will be randomized during the baseline session to groups receiving either 1) Active Treatment (pre-post supplementation), 2) placebo (noncaloric beverage), or 3) control, not participating in exercise or consuming a treatment. During the supervised 6-week resistance training program, participants will complete a moderate-intensity warm-up, a full-body resistance training workout (2 x per week) and an interval training session (1 x per week). Thirty-minutes prior to each training session, and within 15 minutes post-exercise, participants will consume their randomly assigned treatment beverage. Body composition, blood markers of muscle damage/recovery, strength, and performance tests will be measured before (baseline) and after training (Post) to evaluate the effects of supplementation. All data collection will be conducted by the Principal Investigator and Research Assistants. All subjects will report to the Applied Physiology Laboratory and Human Performance Center in Fetzer Hall for all testing and training sessions, which will span approximately 8 weeks.
