Filter by:The investigators aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of probiotics ingestion in changing maternal microbiota and preventing gestational diabetes in overweight and obese women. To achieve these goals, obese (BMI> 30 kg/m^2) or overweight (BMI> 25 kg/m^2) pregnant women with risk factors were enrolled in the study and randomized to the supplementation with the probiotic VIVOMIXX® or with placebo. The endpoints of this study are to evaluate if the dietary supplementation with the probiotic VIVOMIXX® modifies the maternal fecal microbiota (bifidobacteria and lactobacilli) and related enzymatic activity (alkaline sphingomyelinase and alkaline phosphatase), and if this if this is linked to an improvement of the intermediate metabolism (positive Oral Glucose Tolerance Test at 24-26 weeks).
Sincev the adipose tissue as been identified as a metabolic active tissue that produces and regulates pro-inflammatory factors, the investigators studied the relationship between cytokine changes and maternal body composition. The investigators evaluated plasmatic pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines levels in pregnant women with BMI >25 Kg/m^2 undergoing a lifestyle change program, and if this is related with changes in body composition. Women enrolled in the study were provided nutritional advices about lifestyle: a proper nutrition and a constant physical activity (30 minutes/day, 3 times/week, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Guidelines) in an integrated counselling with a dietitian and a gynaecologist, both attendant since the enrollment. Plasma pro- and anti-inflammatory markers were investigated at enrollment (9-12 weeks) and at 36-38 weeks. Furthermore, the investigators used the bioimpedance analyzer to evaluate changes of body composition (i.e. fat mass and fat free mass) at first and third trimester.
Introduction: The stability of the pelvis is of great importance in body balance as a whole, can be improved by training the pelvic muscles fillet (MLP), which is characterized by low intensity isometric synchronous and the deep muscles of the trunk. This study aims to determine the effect of a stability program target, with the training of the MLP region on pelvic stability.
The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that patients with coronary artery disease with lower aerobic fitness exhibit greater responsiveness on improving ventilatory efficiency after aerobic exercise training.
The investigators evaluate if changing eating habits and introducing a correct lifestyle in women with BMI >25 Kg/m2 would improve unfavorable maternal-fetal outcomes associated with excessive weight gain (EWG) during pregnancy. To pursue these goals, eligible women are randomly assigned to no intervention (Control group) that receive only a simple nutritional booklet about lifestyle and healthy diet during pregnancy without explicit caloric restriction or the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes Program (TLC group) that receive a caloric restriction (1500 Kcal/day divided in3 main meals and 3 snacks + 300 kcal/die for overweight or 200 kcal/die for obese women submitted to energy expenditure program) associated to a mild physical activity (30 minutes at least 3 days/week) The investigators use a tool that could easily and practically evaluate not only total GWG at term, but also changes in maternal body composition: the bioimpedance analyzer.
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate: 1) the effects of continuous exercise training and interval exercise training on end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (PETCO2) response during graded exercise test in patients with coronary artery disease; and 2) examine the effects of exercise training modalities on the association among PETCO2 at ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) and indicators of ventilatory efficiency and cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with coronary artery disease.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) combined with closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises in patients with knee OA.
