Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the effect of yoga on physical fitness among healthy primary school children using a randomized control design. A total of 52 children, ages 8-13, will be randomly assigned to either the Yoga Group or the Control Group. Participants will be assessed using the EUROFIT Test Battery as the primary outcome measure. The Yoga Group will do 45-minute yoga sessions twice a week for 10 weeks, while the Control Group will not receive any intervention. Outcome assessments will be repeated at the end of the 10-week intervention period.
According to the cause of death statistics compiled by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2022, among the causes of death among the elderly, falls ranked second among the causes of death from accidental injuries over the age of 65. Exercise has been proven to prevent falls in many studies, especially Square-Stepping Exercise can not only train strength and balance, but also improve cognitive function and reduce the fear of falling in the elderly. Therefore, this study will use Square-Stepping Exercise as the core and circuit training as the structure to design a set of exercise training that combines muscle strength and balance and is easy to implement in the community. The purpose of the study is to determine whether exercise training that combines circuit training with block stepping, muscle strength, and balance exercises can reduce the risk of falls among elderly people in the community (primary results: muscle strength, flexibility, cardiorespiratory endurance, balance; secondary results: cognitive function, Fear of falling, fall rate). This study will collect participant in the community, and subjects will be randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group on a community basis. The experimental group will receive 12 weeks of exercise training, while the control group will follow their usual lifestyle, with 48 people in each group. The experimental design is exercise intervention for 12 weeks, twice a week, 90 minutes each time (30 minutes of main exercise). The exercise is designed into two stages according to the difficulty of Square-Stepping Exercise. The training of muscle strength and dynamic/static balance will also gradually increase in difficulty over the weeks. The research look forward to seeing the effects of multi-component exercise on physical fitness, cognitive function, fear of falling and fall rate.
The main purpose of this study is to compare the effect of teaching Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET) via e-learning and face-to-face to doctors receiving postgraduate medical education (PGME).
This study aims to identify sporting talents by profiling a group of young boxers residing in the State of Mexico using unsupervised machine learning methods. This study is supported by Asociación de Boxeo del Estado de México AC (ABEM) and powered by DBSS.
Anatomic lung resection is the treatment of choice for the management of cancerous lung nodules Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC). Systematic functional evaluation can reduce the risk of mortality and morbidity of candidates. Scientific societies recommend a cardiac and spirometry evaluation (including pulmonary diffusion capacity). In this context, patients with FEV1 or less than 80% of the predicted value are subjected to a more thorough evaluation of the physical physical capacity by cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) to determine VO2 max (Brunelli et al 2009). Patients with a VO2 max <35% of predicted values or <10ml/kg/min, or a postoperative predicted value of DLCO or FEV1(ppoDLCO, ppoVEMS) less than 30% associated with a postoperative VO2max less than 35% or 10 ml/min/kg should be offered an alternative treatment option (Begum et al 2016). In contrast, a VO2max greater than 20ml/min/kg is considered at low surgical risk (Brunelli et al 2009). For patients with a VO2 max between 10 and 20ml/kg/min, operability depends on the extent of the resection. In this group of patients, other parameters measured with CPET could be used to optimize the selection of patients given the inability of some the inability of some patients to provide a maximal effort, thus resulting in a sub-maximal evaluation of physical capacity. The VE/VCO2 slope, ventilatory equivalents or chronotropic recovery are parameters classically used in classically used in heart failure and have recently been shown to be independent prognostic factors as independent prognostic factors for 90-day and 2-year mortality after anatomical lung resection. Moreover, these factors do not depend on the maximality of the test and could again help us to risk-stratify for a sub-maximal and therefore not optimal test.
The use of masks is a necessity due to the current pandemic conditions. The aim of the study is to examine the effects of the use of masks during effort on dyspnea and fatigue with hemodynamic parameters.
Physical activity triggers complex molecular responses, including changes in immune-, stress-, and metabolic pathways. For example, autophagy is essential for energy and cellular homeostasis through protein catabolism, and dysregulation results in compromised proteostasis, reduced exercise performance, and excessive secretion of signaling molecules and inflammatory proteins. However, previous research has been limited by the extend of molecules measured and biological processes covered. A better understanding of these processes through multi-omic analysis can improve knowledge of molecular changes in response to exercise. The main purpose of the investigators study is to analyze the effects of acute exercise in correlation to autophagy and other signaling cascades. Specifically, the investigators plan to perform multi-level molecular profiling in a cohort of healthy male elite cyclists and male and female recreational athletes, before, during, and after a bicycle ergometer test. The results will be compared to a control cohort without intervention.
Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is a helpful tool for evaluation of aerobic exercise capacity and tolerance for variety of population. CPET provides a full assessment of the physiologic responses of the pulmonary, cardiovascular, muscular, and cellular oxidative systems to exercise. The test progression include a incremental stepwise (on treadmill) or ramp control protocol (on bike ergometer ) to exhaustion. Measurement of respiratory gas exchange i.e. oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide, minute ventilation, other variables while monitoring ECG, blood pressure, pulse oximetry and exertion perceived (Borg Scale) during an incremental test . Aim: To compere exercise responses for maximal exercise testing with different population.
The 6-minute walk test is a test of physical performance in physiotherapy with lungs and heart patients (Pollentier 2010). However, only 8 and 11% of patients in everyday test situations report a score of 7 or higher on a scale of 0-10 for effort (Jehn 2009). This study is intended to explore, based on grounded theory, why the majority of patients do not assess themselves according to the almost maximum performance.
