Filter by:Objectives: The main objective is to analyze the efficacy of an intervention based on the algorithm proposed by the Spanish Healtcare Ministry (see figure in annex 1) at Primary Care level to reduce Frailty status in community-dwelling older adults. Secondary objectives are: 1. To analyze if the intervention is cost-effective; 2. To analyze if the intervention reduces hospitalizations and emergency department visits, incident disability, falls, institutionalization, mortality, Primary Care visits and Drug use, and improves quality of life. MethodologOy: Multicentric Randomized Clinical Trial in 164 Prefrail or Frail community-dwelling women and men with an age equal or greater to 70 years, attended in selected Primary Care centers of Spain (Albacete, Oviedo, Getafe and Madrid). Randomization will be made by clusters, being every cluster a different Primary Care center in order to avoid contamination. Randomization on a 1:1 relationship between groups. The main outcome variable will be Frailty status change at one year follow-up measured with the Frailty Phenotype. All instrumentation will follow the guidelines of the Spanish Healthcare Ministry algorithm for frailty, and gait speed will be measured with the Walkway Speed-Age. Intervention will consist on a groupal multicomponent physical exercise program and a nutritional intervention. The exercise program and nutrition will be delivered by trained experts in groups of 6 participants, and will be based on the recommendations of the Spanish Healthcare Ministry document.
The aim of our study is to compare the effects of progressive exercise therapy, administered as a home program under the supervision of a physiotherapist, on adduction angle, pain, functional status, quality of life, and kinesiophobia in individuals aged 18-64 years with a hallux valgus angle of 15-40 degrees (mild-moderate).
The OBAFIT project aims to examine the patterns of physical activity, sedentary activity and health-related physical fitness of the boys and girls enrolled in schools of Primary Education and Secondary Education in Castilla-La Mancha (Spain). The design of the project is observational/cross-sectional. Through an epidemiological orientation, it proposes a representative sampling of a multistage type of the Castilian-La Mancha population aged 6 to 16 years. The subjects that will make up the sample will be selected from among the 724 Castilian-La Mancha schools with teachings in the Primary Education stage, and among 373 Secondary Education schools. To ensure the heterogeneity of the population, both public and private centers will be selected, and proportionally between centers that have Healthy School Programs (PES) from those that do not. The sample will be multistage, randomized and stratified according to province (Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Toledo), area (urban, semi-urban, rural), sex (men, women) and age (one group for each age group).
This is a monocentric study comparing hamstring and quadriceps neuromuscular fatigue after simulated soccer game, anaerobic and aerobic training sessions. The purpose of this study was: 1. To quantify the decrease of isometric force immediately after a simulate soccer game. 2. To characterize peripheral and central fatigue between hamstring and quadriceps muscles and described the kinetics of recovery after specific tasks of soccer training. 3. To compare the level neuromuscular fatigue induced by anaerobic and aerobic training. 4. To highlight correlation between neuromuscular fatigue and performance markers.
Randomized clinical trial of 310 older adults over 75 years old recruited from the Falls Units of Geriatric Departments in 4 three University Hospitals in Spain (Pamplona, San Sebastián, Albacete and Barcelona). Participants who met inclusion criteria will be randomized to the usual care group (Otago exercise program) or the Vivifrail-Cog Intervention (a combination of physical exercise Vivifrail program and cognitive training). The main objective of the present randomized clinical trial is to investigate the effect of the combined intervention (exercise and cognitive intervention) in frail older participants living in the community and at risk of falling. The main endpoint will be the rate of falling in the following year. Secondary endpoints include physical performance, muscle strength, cognitive performance, hospitalizations, institutionalization, depression and quality of life.
This study aims to determine the effects of communicating genetic risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) alone or in combination with goal setting and prompts from a wearable device on objectively measured physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) in East Asians. It is hypothesized that this combination will lead to significant favorable changes in objectively measured PA and SB, and that such changes will be more likely to be sustained over 6-month follow-up. This study aims to recruit 150 healthy East Asian adults in Hong Kong. At baseline, participants will be invited to visit the research laboratory for measurement of a series of variables including height, body weight, blood pressure and grip strength. Participants will also be invited to complete a set of questionnaires to assess their self-reported PA and SB, fruit and vegetable consumption, smoking status and psychological variables. Blood samples will be collected to analyze key diabetes and cardiovascular disease biochemical markers as well as their estimated genetic risk of T2D. Each individual's unique genetic risk for T2D will be estimated on the basis of established genetic variants associated with T2D specifically for East Asians. Each participant will be asked to wear a Fitbit Charge 4 tracker, an objective activity monitoring device, throughout the entire trial. Participants will be randomly allocated into 3 groups: 1 control and 2 intervention groups. A control group will receive an e-leaflet containing general lifestyle advice for prevention of T2D. An intervention group will receive an estimated genetic risk of T2D, in addition to the e-leaflet. The other intervention group will have a Fitbit step goal set 10% higher than their baseline step count and use prompt functions of the Fitbit tracker, in addition to the genetic risk estimate and e-leaflet. Activity data from the Fitbit will be collected at 4-week post-intervention; information about lifestyle and psychological variables will be assessed through the questionnaires at both immediate and 4-week post-intervention. To determine the longer-term effect of the intervention, participants will be asked to visit the research laboratory 6 months after the intervention to repeat the same set of assessments as baseline, except the blood samples collected at 6-month follow-up are used only to analyze cardiometabolic risk profiles (not genetic risk). Activity levels will also be objectively measured using the Fitbit for 4 weeks.
Erythrocyte rheological properties affect blood viscoelasticity and consequently regulate vascular resistance to flow shear force, whereas rheological impairments of erythrocytes may result in circulatory disorders. The aim of this study was to establish an effective exercise strategy for improving individual aerobic capacity and for simultaneously ameliorating the risk of hemorheological dysfunction evoked by a graded exercise test (GXT) and the hypotheses is exercise intervention will improved hemorheological functions by enhancing deformability of erythrocytes via NO-mediated mechanism. This study included 60 healthy sedentary mens (age 20~30) from Chang Gung university than were randomized into the HIIT [3-min intervals at 40% and 80% V̇O2 reserve (V̇O2R),n=10] and MICT(sustained 60% V̇O2R,n=10)on a bicycle ergometer for 30min·d-1, 5 d·wk-1 for 6 wk.
It is estimated that approximately 30% of child and adolescents manifest subthreshold depression, which can further develop into major depression with as high as 25%-50% within one year. The main aim of this trial is to investigate the effect of long-term exercise on preventing major depression and depressive symptoms in young people (aged 10-17 years old). Other aims include the underlying mechanisms of how aerobic exercise works and predictors for treatment response.
This study was planned as a single blind randomized controlled type in order to examine the effect of yoga on sexual function in primipara pregnant women.150 pregnant women will be randomized.The data will be interviewed online with pregnant women and online yoga training will be held for the intervention group
Physical activity has been described by the US federal government as a 'best buy' for public health. Unfortunately, most adults in the United States are not sufficiently active, and this worsens with age. Low levels of participation are driven by many challenging barriers, including lack of access, few opportunities for enjoyable activity, and few supportive social relationships, which is especially important given the central role of social connection for lasting behavior change. A half-century of research in behavioral sciences has generated effective group-based physical activity programs, but these are inaccessible to most as they are often delivered in a few select research centers. Recent advances in telehealth have offered media for extending these interventions more broadly, but the experience of such programs is often hampered by technology that does not allow for a sense of physical and social presence. Fortunately, uptake of virtual reality (VR) is increasing rapidly, and the medium has a high level of potential for advancing the delivery of immersive evidence-based group interventions to those that most need it. Thus our specific aims are: Specific aim 1: To test the feasibility and acceptability of a group-mediated physical activity intervention delivered fully via modern VR to older adults. Specific aim 2: To examine the impact of this program on overall physical activity among older adults compared to the current standard-of-care for telehealth: the video conference meeting platform.
