Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of using new app-based technology to increase the level of physical activity, compared to conventional postoperative information given to patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The hypothesis is that the intervention, i.e. using the new technology, will have a greater positive effect on levels of physical activity and outcomes of weight loss than conventional postoperative information.
This study was planned to evaluate the effects of somatosensory and vestibular rehabilitation additional conventional therapy on balance in patients with acute stroke.
This study was planned to evaluate the effect of neuromuscular exercise program on physical activity, functionality and balance in patients with knee osteoarthritis aged 35-65 years.
In the Lifestyle-Integrated Functional Exercise (LiFE) program, exercises to increase strength and improve balance are embedded into daily life activities. Recurring daily activities and tasks are used as prompts for these exercises so that they are performed multiple times per day. However, implementing the original LiFE program includes high financial requirements and human resources as it comprises one-to-one supervision of participants. Therefore, it is investigated whether implementing LiFE in groups (gLiFE) is not inferior to the individually delivered LiFE (iLiFE) in terms of reducing falls per physical activity. In addition, gLiFE is expected to be more cost-effective as compared to iLiFE. In a multicenter non-inferiority trial, 300 participants aged 70 years or older with confirmed fall risk will be randomized into either the iLiFE or gLiFE arm of the study. Both arms will undergo the same strength and balance exercises and habitualization strategies as described in the LiFE program, however, based on different approaches of delivery (i.e., group vs. individual).
Participants will perform three endurance training sessions weekly for 12 weeks. All participants will be randomly assigned to the protein supplementation group or the placebo (iso-caloric carbohydrate) group. During the 12 weeks endurance training program participants allocated to the protein group (30 g protein per beverage) will receive a protein drink after exercise and prior to sleep at night on training days. On non-training days participants will only receive a protein drink before sleep. Participants allocated to the carbohydrate group (30 g carbohydrates) will receive a carbohydrate drink instead of a protein drink.
Exercise in all Chemotherapy (EnACT) is a study to assess safety, feasibility, and acceptability of an exercise program within chemotherapy. This will be a single group study to capture the effects of an exercise intervention on the average chemotherapy patient and the patients compliance to the study.
Many kinds of wearable technology have become available, but the superiority of those devices in weight loss compared to the standard care without them is uncertain. The possible problems are long-term self-motivation, utility and validity of the device, and outcome measures in clinical trials. The connected health care with motivational interviewing as an intervention, and body composition parameters in addition to body weight as outcome measures are employed in the project. The expected outcome is that connected health care, which is more individualized approach by heath care professionals, is more effective compared to self-monitoring using wearable devices. Two types of wearable device are going to be used to monitor 1) body activity and 2) heart rate variables during exercise which reflect fitness level in this study in order to investigate appropriate monitoring parameters to predict outcome measures. The hypothesis is that addition of connected health system will result in improvement of body composition and fitness level compared to self-monitoring.
The goal of this study is to assess the impact of physician-driven insulin setting changes in type 1 patients using multiple daily injection insulin therapy with exercise. This is a short outpatient study with multiple outpatient and home exercise sessions with an assigned type of exercise.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of wearing both neoprene suit and life jacket on respiratory capacities at rest and cardiopulmonary capacities during exercise in windsurfers.
Regular aerobic exercise is associated with reduced risk of multiple cancers, yet the majority of adults are inactive. Across health behavior theories, the expectations people have about the outcomes of exercise influence their decision to exercise. Extending prior work, a fine-grained analysis of the relationship between perceived outcomes and daily exercise behavior will be achieved using ecological momentary assessment methods to measure perceived outcomes, and accelerometry to measure exercise objectively. The results of this research will inform exercise promotion efforts by determining how perceptions and temporal factors interact to predict exercise behavior.
