Filter by:This study will examine the possible effects of protective surgical masks on the cardiorespiratory function of children aged 8-14 years at rest and during exercise. The study will consist of two phases: - Phase I: No face mask. 1. Measurement of peak nasal inspiratory flow 2. CPET with an ergometric bike at 30% of their predicted maximum workload (Wmax) for 4 minutes, 50% of Wmax for 2 minutes and 70% of Wmax for 1 minute, with continuous oxygen saturation (SpΟ2), heart rate (HR), end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2) and respiratory rate (RR) monitoring. 3. Spirometry and measurement of nPIF immediately after CPET. 4. Discomfort assessment using a special scale - Phase II: Face mask. Following nPIF measurement, participants will be asked to wear a standard surgical face mask. A temperature and humidity sensor will also be placed inside the mask. Will follow: 1. Resting phase, 6 minutes. SpO2, HR, EtCO2 and RR will be monitored. 2. CPET at 30% of Wmax for 4 minutes, 50% Wmax for 2 minutes and 70% Wmax for 1 minute. SpO2, HR, EtCO2 and RR will be continuously monitored. 3. Spirometry and measurement of nPIF immediately after CPET. 4. Discomfort assessment. Both phases will be performed on the same day with a recovery phase of 30 minutes between them. Participants will be randomized to begin with Phase I followed by Phase II or Phase II followed by Phase I. At both phases, SpO2, HR, EtCO2 and RR (10 s average values) will be recorder at each 1 minute during CPET, and at minutes 0, 3 and 6 during the resting phase of Phase II. During Phase II, temperature and humidity will also be recorded at each 1 minute during CPET and at minutes 0, 3 and 6 during the resting phase. The total duration of the protocol is estimated at 90 minutes per participant. The study sample will consist of 40 children stratified by age.
The present clinical trial aims to identify if skills acquired during aquatic exercise are more effectively transferred to a reactive balance task than land exercise. This study is designed as a double-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial. Forty-four older adults aged 60 years or above who meet the eligibility criteria will be recruited and randomized into an aquatic exercise group or land exercise group. Each group will participate in the same balance training exercise during a single session that includes a ball throwing and catching task. A modified lean-and-release test will be implemented on land immediately before, after, and one week after the training session. The outcomes will include reaction time, rapid response accuracy, and mini-BESTest scores obtained from stepping and grasping reactions.
This study aims to determine the effects of a transtheoretical model-based walking exercise training and disease management and metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. This randomized controlled trial will be conducted as a pre-test and post-test experiment with 30 intervention and 30 control individuals. The intervention group will receive the transtheoretical model-based exercise training. The intervention group will be followed-up for 6 months (from 0 to 6 months) to determine the patients' behavioral changes after the training will be completed.
HYPOTHESIS: - A multicomponent exercise program where strength exercises are performed with blood flow restriction obtains better values in densitometry and bone mass of osteoporotic patients with respect to the same multicomponent exercise program where strength is worked without flow restriction. INTERVENTION: The recruitment of the population will be carried out between July and November 2021, with the collaboration of the Consorci Sanitari de Terrassa (CST), which brings together a hospital center and different primary care centers (CAP). The primary care physicians and rheumatologists of the CST will receive an e-mail from the hospital management, informing them of the study to be carried out so that, if they consider it appropriate, they can inform their patients. Intervention of the intervention and control group: Each volunteer will be assigned to an intervention group either to the control group (CG) or experimental group (EG). The control group and intervention group will receive the same multicomponent exercise program, based on specific literature for being an effective, safe and feasible training for both elderly people {{2091 Bouaziz, Walid 2016;}} {{2092 Fragala,M. S. 2019;}}, with or without frailty {{2093 Cadore, Eduardo L 2014;}} {{2094 Casas-Herrero, Alvaro 2019;}} {{2088 Fernández-García, Ángel Iván 2020;}} and/or with osteoporosis {{2089 Moradell, Ana 2020;}}. The main difference between both groups is that the experimental group (EG) will perform the strength exercises with flow restriction (BFR) while the control group (CG) will not have any restriction. The periodicity of both groups will be 2 sessions per week, with a duration of 65 minutes per session and the duration of the intervention of 6 months and a follow-up 12 months after the beginning of the intervention (see scheme). The training will be supervised at all times by a physiotherapist with more than 10 years of experience in multicomponent exercise. The sessions will include both limb and trunk work and will have a clear functional objective, focusing on activities of daily living (ADL). Each session will work on all the basic physical abilities (strength, balance, endurance, flexibility and coordination) and will be divided into: - 10 minutes of initial warm-up. This is divided into 8 minutes walking on a treadmill or cyclohergometer with an intensity corresponding to 30% of heart rate reserve. Followed by 2 minutes of active mobilizations in both upper and lower extremities. - 20 minutes of strength exercises. These will be interspersed with the rest of the exercises and will include the different extremities and trunk. During the first month, training will be carried out with loads corresponding to 20% of 1 repetition maximum (RM) and from the second month onwards it will be increased to 30-35% of 1 RM. - 10 minutes of resistance exercises. These exercises will be interspersed with the rest to make the session much more enjoyable. - 10 minutes of coordination and balance exercises. These exercises will be interspersed with the rest of the activities. - 5 minutes of flexibility. These exercises will be performed interspersed with the strength and endurance exercises. - 5 minutes of return to calm and relaxation. To facilitate the monitoring of the researcher who will apply the intervention, each group will be subdivided into smaller groups (ratio of 5 subjects per researcher).
An observational study is carried out in the university population of the University of Salamanca to know the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the influence of physical exercise on the severity of symptoms.
Exercises used in shoulder rehabilitation compose of open kinetic chain and closed kinetic chain exercises.The force formed on the trunk and legs is transferred to the shoulder in open and closed kinetic chain exercises before shoulder muscles activation. It was shown that trunk and leg muscle activity changes when they are performed in different ground. But it is unknown how this alteration effect shoulder muscle activity. This will be provide a significance approach due to incremented of shoulder muscle activity is important for shoulder rehabilitation setting. To achieve this aim that is rising of muscle activity, various approach is applied including alteration of ground which individual performed exercise on it. And, it was shown that closed cinetic chain exercise which performed on different ground change shoulder muscle activity. However, it is unknown whether alteration of ground effect shoulder muscle activity or not in open cinetic chain exercise. That's why the aim of this study is to investigate alteration of scapulothoracic shoulder muscle activity in open cinetic chain shoulder exercise which enforced different ground.
The investigators think that "The Active-Q: Physical Activity Questionnaire" will help physiotherapists and other health professionals in the field and in the field to evaluate individuals' physical activity by revealing their energy consumption values. Therefore, it was aimed to make this scale available to Turkish healthcare professionals by conducting the Turkish validity and reliability study.
New research in animal models of MS suggests that greater training intensity is required to restore lost functions. We have developed and tested vigorous intensity cool room treadmill training that people with MS who have fatigue and heat-sensitivity can tolerate. This study will focus on the appropriate dosage of training.
This quality improvement study aims to implement a supervised, multi-component exercise program for patients type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) from a primary care practice. Rosemount Clinic patients with T2DM will be invited to participate in free group exercise classes as part of a 3-month program of structured exercise to enhance adherence to the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) clinical best practice guidelines. Interested patients will attend an initial 1-hour information session and then will complete short, monthly questionnaires about their current quality of life and experience with the exercise program. Participation is voluntary and patients may drop out at any time.
The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of action observation (AO), visual mirror feedback (VMF), motor imagery (MI) combined with an orofacial exercise program in asymptomatic subjects.
