Filter by:Background: The vestibular system plays a crucial role in maintaining balance. Deficiencies in this system can result in instability and an increased risk of falls in older adults, posing a significant global health concern due to associated injuries. The Cawthorne and Cooksey program has demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing balance and reducing falls. This study aims to investigate the program's impact on balance, fear of falling, and dizziness in individuals aged 65 and older. Thirty-two older adults will be assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will undergo a video-supported Cawthorne and Cooksey-based therapy, while the control group will receive counseling on fall prevention and healthy living through leaflets. The 4-week intervention will take place three times a week, including one face-to-face session and one via video. Pre- and post-assessments, along with a one-month follow-up, will be conducted.
Some evidence suggests that taste perception might be modulated by physical exercise, with differences observed after aerobic exercise (DOI:10.1093/chemse/23.4.417) and with habitual exercise (DOI:10.3390/nu11010155). However, the effects of resistance exercise on taste perception has not been studied. This knowledge is important as it may impact the acceptability of foods consumed after exercise. While plant-protein supplement powders are gaining increased popularity, their palatability and, thereby, acceptability may be a shortcoming. This randomised crossover trial aims to investigate (1) the taste perception and acceptability of plant protein supplement powders and (2) whether resistance exercise modulates taste perception and appetite responses to plant protein.
The influence of music on movement velocity and power during strength training have been poorly investigated, and specifically in women there is no evidence of an increase in strength performance due to the influence of music. Hypothesis: Listening to trap or reggaeton music will improve jumping ability, as well as movement velocity and power, muscular endurance, motivation and perception of effort in trained women during the performance of back-squats.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of nitrate-rich beetroot juice supplementation on exercise performance in female rowers when accounting for habitual vegetable nitrate consumption.
İdiopathic scoliosis is a three dimensional deformity with lateral deviation and rotation of the spine. In idiopathic scoliosis, scoliosis-specific exercises are utilized as a primary treatment for moderate curves and as a supportive measure alongside bracing for more severe curves. SEAS, which stands for Scientific Exercises Approach to Scoliosis, refers to a treatment approach developed as a scientific exercise methodology for scoliosis. This approach aims to provide scoliosis-specific exercises and techniques to manage and potentially improve the condition. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of SEAS as a conservative treatment approach for mild AIS.
In recent years, electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) devices have been developed as a complementary training technique that is novel, attractive, and time-saving for physical fitness and rehabilitation. While it is known that EMS training can improve muscle mass and strength, most studies have focused on the elderly or specific patient populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of frequency-specific EMS combined with resistance exercise training for 8 weeks on muscle mass, strength, power, body composition, and parameters related to exercise fatigue. Additionally, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of EMS as an exercise aid to improve body composition. We recruited 14 male and 14 female subjects who were randomly assigned to two groups with gender parity (7 male and 7 female/group): (1) no EMS group and (2) daily EMS group. Blood biochemical routine analysis was performed every 4 weeks from pre-intervention to post-intervention, and body composition, muscle strength, and explosive power were evaluated 8 weeks before and after the intervention. We also performed an exercise challenge analysis of fatigue biochemical indicators after 8 weeks of intervention.
While long considered independently, energy expenditure and energy intake have been shown to interact. Fot the last 20 years, the litterature has been describing tyhe effects of an acute bout of exercise on subsequent energy intake and appetitive responses, indicating a potenital anorexigenic effect of intensive exercise in adolescents with obesity. These studies suggest a decrease in hunger, redcued satiety and modified food reward responses. These results remain however obtained in studies using post exercise ad libitum test meals and this nature of the meal might ahve impact these responses. The present work tends to assess the effect of acute exercise on subsequent appetite and food reward responses to a fixed meal, in adolescents with obesity.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of listening to music during the treatment of frozen shoulder on pain, normal range of motion, functional activity status and quality of life.Upon recruitment, the subjects were randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups: Group 1 received Music + Mobilization + Exercise, Group 2 received Music + Exercise, Group 3 received Mobilization + Exercise, and Group 4 received Exercise only.
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects approximately 1 million people in the United States and causes significant fall risks. This study aims to develop a community-based exercise program that reduces falls in persons with PD. By combining individualized balance activities with group boxing training, the study seeks to identify modifiable risk factors, improve balance dysfunction, and reduce falls. The findings will inform clinical practice, offering a community-based exercise model to address the urgent need for effective fall prevention interventions in PD.
Patient in the Intervention group will be treated with routine pysical therapy, Inspiratory muscle training and early ambulation after surgery, whereas patients in the control group will be not be treated with these interventions and will rather undergo routine physical therapy (ankle pumps, hand pumps isometrics of upper and lower limbs). Patients in the intervention group will receive treatment until discharge from hospital.
