NCT ID: NCT06302205 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Liver Transplantation

A Home-based Exercise and Physical Activity Intervention After Liver Transplantation: Impact of Exercise Intensity

PHOENIX-L
Start date: March 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Research demonstrated that surgical patients benefit from physical activity, but there is a gap in knowledge regarding the required intensity. In the PHOENIX-Liver study the researchers aim to investigate the optimal rehabilitation intensity after liver transplantation. Patients will be randomized in one of the three PHOENIX-Liver training groups which all three rehabilitate at a different intensity (low, moderate, moderate to high). The six months rehabilitation training is conducted from the patient's home but supervised by a PHOENIX-investigator via electronical synchronization of extensive trainingsdata. At baseline, after three months of training and after six months of training, a test moment takes place at which physical fitness, cardiovascular health, liver function, and body composition will be assessed. In the interim, questionnaires are taken monthly to survey well-being, safety, quality of life, physical activity, and cost-effectiveness. To gather information on the potential for implementation in a real-world setting, a 15-month-long physical activity phase will start after the intervention phase. This entails a maintenance physical activity program tailored to the patients' preferences. A follow-up at Gasthuisberg is planned at three and at 15 months where the same clinical evaluations will be conducted as during the test moments of the intervention phase.

NCT ID: NCT06260579 Recruiting - Physical Activity Clinical Trials

Home-based Exercise and Physical Activity Intervention After Kidney Transplantation: Impact of Exercise Intensity

PHOENIX-Kidney
Start date: November 14, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This multicentre two-phased RCT aims to evaluate implementation potential, cost-effectiveness, effectiveness, and the role of exercise intensity of a home-based exercise and physical activity intervention to improve de novo kidney transplant recipients' physical fitness, cardiovascular health, gut microbiome characteristics, and health-related quality of life. The first phase of this study comprehends a six-month exercise training intervention. Patients will be randomized into (i) a sham intervention consisting of low-intensity balance and stretching exercises (LIT), (ii) a moderate-intensity aerobic and strength training intervention (MIT), or (iii) a moderate- and high-intensity aerobic and strength training intervention (MHIT). The second phase of this study comprehends a physical activity maintenance intervention provided to MIT and MHIT but not LIT. A total of 147 de novo kidney transplant recipients will be recruited from two independent Belgian transplant centres i.e. UZ Leuven and UZ Ghent.

NCT ID: NCT06260124 Not yet recruiting - Menopause Clinical Trials

Acute Physiological Effects of Greek Traditional Dancing

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

In Greece, people of different age groups, including young children to older adults, are involved in traditional dance. To date, the well-know benefits of dancing include entertainment, socialization and increased physical activity. However, the acute effects of Greek traditional dancing on health, physical performance and muscle damage indices remain largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of this project is to evaluate the acute effect of Greek traditional dancing on health-, physical performance-, and muscle damage-related parameters by considering the impact of dancing tempo (slow vs moderate vs fast). In a crossover repeated measures design 10 pre- and 10 post-menopausal women will participate in the three dancing sessions of different tempo in a random order.

NCT ID: NCT05986058 Completed - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Health

Preliminary Efficacy of a Technology-based Physical Activity Intervention for Older Korean Adults During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Start date: September 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study tested preliminary efficacy of a hybrid (web-based and center-based) PA intervention combining use of a smartwatch and mobile application. The 12-week hybrid PA intervention included 120 older Korean adults and was concurrently implemented in-person at the local senior center and at-home through a web-based modality. Overall, increases were evident in systolic/diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and high-density-lipoprotein at posttest, with decreases seen for triglyceride levels. Participants showed improvements in muscular function and cardiopulmonary endurance.

NCT ID: NCT05887622 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Risk Factor

The Potassium Supplementation Study

Start date: January 24, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will test whether potassium supplementation can reduce the deleterious effect of a high sodium diet on blood vessel function, blood pressure reactivity and autonomic nervous system function in apparently healthy adults.

NCT ID: NCT05809466 Recruiting - Osteoporosis Clinical Trials

The Effect of a 12-week Self-composed Vegan Diet With or Without Concurrent Resistance Exercise on Thigh Muscle Volume in Older Adults

Vold
Start date: April 4, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Consumers are increasingly encouraged to consume more plant-based foods and lower their consumption of foods from animal origin. This shift is driven by environmental and health factors. However, the consequences of such a transition on muscle mass still remains to be explored. This is of particular importance in the older population, where the age-related reduction in muscle mass and strength is highly prevalent. Adequate dietary intake, specifically protein intake, is a well-known strategy in promoting muscle mass in older adults. Plant-based foods are currently considered to be inferior to animal-based foods in their protein quality, and are therefore considered to be suboptimal for the maintenance of muscle mass at an older age. On the other hand, combining plant-based foods may improve the protein quality and thereby the anabolic properties of a vegan meal. Evidence regarding the anabolic properties of vegan diets in older adults is scarce. As such, the current study aims to assess 1) the effects of a 12-week self-composed vegan diet in comparison to an omnivorous diet on thigh muscle volume (TMV) in community-dwelling older adults and 2) the effect of a 12-week self-composed vegan diet combined with twice-weekly resistance exercise (RE) on TMV in comparison to a self-composed vegan diet without resistance exercise in community-dwelling older adults.

NCT ID: NCT05695586 Recruiting - Mental Health Clinical Trials

Effects of the Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) Program

MSC-Health
Start date: November 14, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The efficacy of the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program has been widely researched. However, research on the efficacy of a standardized program, specifically focused on self-compassion skills, such as the Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program remains scarce. Moreover, the use of long-term follow-ups and the analysis of regular practice of mindfulness and self-compassion over time to identify possible changes in inflammatory activity and in biomarkers associated with diseases has been even less analysed and represent a gap in this area. In this context, a main hypothesis is proposed: MSC training and the subsequent regular practice will contribute to improve mental health, self-reported health status, psychological wellbeing and health-related biomarkers. This research uses a RCT design to analyse our main hypothesis. Our RCT design includes three conditions, i.e. MSC group compared to a well-established protocol MBSR training group and to a waitlist control group (CG), and four moments of measure, i.e. pre- and post-training, 6-month, and 12-month follow-ups. Participants in the experimental conditions will receive, respectively, the MSC and MBSR 8-week trainings and afterwards they will go on with weekly MSC/MBSR guided practices over a 12-month period. In addition to an analysis of the relative efficacy of MSC compared to MBSR and CG, we will also study the mechanisms involved in the efficacy of MSC training.
