Filter by:The Israeli research group of this trial has developed the Perturbation Stationary Bicycle Robotics (PerStBiRo) system that can challenge balance while sitting. With this system, unexpected perturbations can be provided under controlled and safe conditions. Within the BiPerAge-project it will be evaluated if 20 training sessions (20 minutes each) on the PerStBiRo system will lead to transfer effects on safe cycling skills of community-dwelling older adults (age 65 years and older). The ability to cycle safely will be tested prior and after the training period using a cycling course, which consists of variant tasks requiring motor and cognitive skills.
Preserving functional ability is crucial for healthy aging. Unfortunately, age-related decreases in muscle power often lead to declines in functional ability. As power is the product of force and velocity, decreases in power can originate from changes in muscle force, contraction velocity, or both, varying between individuals. The primary method to prevent functional disability is power-based resistance training. Although training interventions are effective for most older adults, they do not induce substantial improvements in a subset of the population. These inconsistent outcomes may arise from neglecting the observed differences in the force-velocity (F-v) profiles between individuals. Therefore, this study provides a novel approach to resistance exercise, in which exercise dose is tailored according to the individual's F-v profile. The effectiveness of the tailored method will be assessed in a randomized control trial, comparing the effects of an individualized and a non-individualized 12-week training intervention on muscle power parameters and functional ability.
This study is to explore the effects of unilateral, bilateral and combined resistance training on the serve speed and accuracy of amateur youth tennis players in China. The subjects were young male tennis players aged 16-20 years from four universities in Gansu Province. The experiment was divided into control group (CG), experiment group 1 (EG1-unilateral group), experiment group 2 (EG2-bilateral group) and experiment group 3 (EG3-combined group). Used to compare the effects of different forms of resistance training on serve speed and accuracy. Previous studies have shown that unilateral and bilateral resistance training can effectively improve strength, power, and speed in athletes (Speirs, et al., 2016; Davo, Jimenez, & Solana,. , 2018), there is still controversy when comparing the advantages and disadvantages of two forms of resistance training (Ramirez-Campillo et al., 2015; Donab and Wall. The results of this study will be expected to be updated in 2022. Unilateral resistance training, bilateral resistance training, and combined unilateral and bilateral resistance training were used as intervention models in this study. Based on the literature review, the training frequency of this experiment was arranged as 2 times/week, and the total training time was 6 weeks, with a fixed duration of each training session. Each training session lasted a maximum of 60 minutes. In this experiment, the interval between the two weekly training sessions was at least 24 h to prevent subjects from being in a fatigued state in the relevant muscle groups of the body and affecting the experimental level.
The researchers are investigating whether adding mobile technology to a home-based exercise counselling program makes it easier for youth to begin and maintain regular exercise. Participants who joins the study will receive exercise counselling from an exercise specialist, but half of all participants will receive mobile technology - a fitness watch - that links to a mobile phone App. The mobile App allows the exercise specialist to provide personalized feedback throughout the program via the fitness watch. The investigators are interested to know whether the fitness watch and mobile App will make it easier for youth to achieve their exercise goals. Both groups will be compared to an active control group, who will receive no exercise program.
Introduction This study investigates the effects of different intensities of indoor cycling on various health measures. Participants will perform a maximal cycling test to determine their maximal fitness - a strong predictor of overall health - before and after a 6-week training intervention. Blood samples will also be obtained to look at various physiological markers related to extracellular vesicles, inflammation, and metabolism. Who can participate? Healthy young adults who between 18 and 40, are free of immune disease, with a normal body mass index can join this study. They will be divided into three groups: - One group will ride a bike at a moderate pace. - Another group will ride a bike at a slightly harder pace. - The third group won't change their usual daily activities and will continue living as they normally do. What does the study involve? Each exercise session aims to burn a specific amount of calories: 350 for males and 300 for females. Participants cycle 3 times a week for 6 weeks. At the end, we'll repeat the bike test and take another blood sample to see if there have been any changes due to the exercise. Why is this research being done? The researchers want to see how different intensities of exercise impact health and fitness. This may help people make better choices about how much and what type of exercise they should do. What happens after the study? Researchers will analyze the data from the study and see if any differences exist between the protocols. If the participant is interested, we will also provide their blood test results, and the results from their max test.
The potential effects of combining manual soft tissue release and physical exercise training on lung function, exercise capacity, and cardiac autonomic function in patients with moderate and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were investigated.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of resistance training with hydrolyzed collagen ingestion on changes in muscle and tendon adaptation in healthy young men and women. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does resistance training with hydrolyzed collagen ingestion lead to greater changes in tendon properties than resistance training alone? - Does resistance training with hydrolyzed collagen ingestion lead to greater changes in muscle size than resistance training alone? Participants will be randomly assigned to collagen or placebo groups. Participants will perform resistance training three times per week for 10 weeks and hydrolyzed collagen or maltodextrin will be given to collagen or placebo group respectively immediately before each resistance training session. Also, vitamin C will be given to both groups. Researchers will compare collagen and placebo groups to see if hydrolyzed collagen ingestion with resistance exercise would have beneficial effects on changes in muscle and tendon more than resistance training alone. Therefore, using isokinetic dynamometer and ultrasonography, maximal leg strength, morphological, mechanical, and material properties of the patellar tendon and vastus lateralis muscle size and architecture will be assessed.
Esophageal cancer imposes a significant burden in China, accounting for over 60% of the global disease burden. While surgery remains a common and highly effective treatment for esophageal cancer, patients often experience multiple physical and psychological symptoms postoperatively, severely affecting their recovery outcomes and quality of life. Although existing exercise or psychological intervention programs have shown some effectiveness, issues such as relatively singular intervention content, imprecise intervention timing, and vague intervention details persist. This project, based on previous research foundations (including the development of symptom measurement tools and the identification of key recovery periods), is guided by symptom management theory and knowledge translation models. Taking a perspective of the synergistic impact of physical and psychological symptoms, the study focuses on patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery. Initially, evidence-based literature review, focus group interviews, and expert consultations were conducted to develop a combined exercise and psychological intervention program, integrating subjective (CSCA_EC) and objective (6MWT) measurement indicators, named "Recovery For EC." Subsequently, the program was preliminarily applied in clinical settings using a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative quasi-experimental design (108 cases) and qualitative interviews to assess its acceptability. The final clinical trial version of the Recovery For EC program was developed to provide patients with a tool for self-monitoring recovery outcomes and offer clinical healthcare professionals guidance for implementing precise and personalized rehabilitation management.
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.
The goal of this exploratory randomized controlled trial is to assess the effect of a personalized training intervention during primary rehabilitation of 6 weeks on cardiorespiratory fitness in individuals with subacute (<6 months) spinal cord injury during primary rehabilitation and during follow-up. Secondary outcomes include the effect on gait assessments, pulmonary function, neurological status, muscle force, cardiometabolic risk factors, quality of life, functional independence and self-efficacy. Participants in the intervention group will receive 2-3 personalized cardiorespiratory fitness-focused training sessions per week, for a period of 6 weeks. Participants in the control group will receive usual care.
