Filter by:The aim of this study is to examine the acute effect of the foam roller (FR) method applied to the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle after respiratory muscle fatigue on joint range of motion (ROM), accessory respiratory muscle activity and muscle strength. The aim of this study is to examine the changes in fatigue and pain symptoms by applying relaxation on the tense fascia and shortened muscle as a result of resistance training, and the effect of these changes in the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle on joint range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength in healthy male or female participants aged 18-30. In line with the investigators' results, it may be recommended to add foam roller (FR) to the accessory respiratory muscles in the pulmonary rehabilitation program in patients with chronic lung diseases. For this reason, the investigators think that it will provide clinical and scientific benefits. The investigators believe that it will lead studies to add foam roller (FR) to the pulmonary rehabilitation program in patients with chronic lung diseases. Participants will be informed about the risks and benefits of participating in the study and a voluntary consent form will be signed. Participants will be given a demographic data form before starting the study and will be asked to fill it out. The hypermobility value will be measured according to the Beighton score before the participants start the tests. After the inspiratory muscle training (IMT) study, foam roller (FR) will be applied to the right sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle. A one week washout period will be given. Afterwards, the cases will be applied foam roller (FR) to the left sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle after the inspiratory muscle training (IMT) study. All evaluation parameters will be repeated before and after the applications. Maximum inspiratory pressure measurement, range of motion (ROM) measurements, muscle strength tests, flexibility with a myotony measuring device, electromyography (EMG) measurements will be made before the study one by one.
Healthy volunteers ages 25-40 from the general US population who meet the eligibility criteria and are enrolled will (a) play Lumosity games at least 20 times each in under 60 days and (b) then complete one session of task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while playing Lumosity games.
This study's design as an open-label, single-dose, randomized trial that aligns with the objective of characterizing the concentration-time profiles of three Urolithin A (Mitopure) formulations in a controlled setting. The inclusion criteria, stringent fasting requirements, standardized fluid intake and strict dietary restriction protocols ensure homogeneity among the study participants, enhancing the reliability of the outcomes. Ultimately, this clinical trial aims to contribute valuable insights into the pharmacokinetic behavior of the different Urolithin A formulations, facilitating informed decisions for future developments and applications in the realm of health and wellness.
The study aimed to investigate the effect of meal frequency on bone remodeling using the marker Procollagen Type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP). Thirty healthy adult males from Jordan participated in a randomized controlled intervention trial. They were randomly assigned to three or eight daily meals for three consecutive days over two phases. Blood samples were obtained at the beginning and end of each phase, and P1NP levels were analyzed. The results showed a substantial drop in P1NP levels compared to the baseline, indicating that meal frequency influences bone development. There were no significant changes between the groups eating three and eight meals per day. The study emphasizes the importance of dietary patterns in bone health and advises additional research to understand the relationship between meal frequency and bone metabolism.
We will explored the effect of cross education training on different cortex functional connectivity, cortex and muscle functional connectivity, and maximal voluntary contraction. Healthy participants receive cross education training of the elbow flexor (12 rep./set, 3sets, 60%MVC, 180°/s, eccentric).Maximal voluntary contraction, electroencephalogram and electromyogram will record during cross education tasks to determine the effects of cross education training on cortical network and muscle functional connectivity
The investigators will recruit 45 fluid milk avoiding adults to participate in a five-week double-blind, double-crossover study in which the physiological responses to increasing doses of lactose-free (A1-rich milk), A2 milk, and lactose-free A2 milk will be explored.
Transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) is a newly developed non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) technique from Austria & Germany with highly promising applicability in neuropsychiatric disorders. Clinical trials have shown a beneficial effect of TPS in patients with Alzheimer's disease and depression. However, the mechanism of action of TPS treatment is unknown. There is a lack of controlled studies with sufficient sample size to draw reliable conclusions on the modulatory effect of TPS. The primary motor cortex is a common target when investigating the neuromodulation effect of NIBS techniques. Here, a randomized, cross-over, double-blind, sham-controlled clinical trial is proposed to probe the effects of TPS over the primary motor cortex on modulating motor response and motor behavior.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of XH-S003 in healthy volunteers under SAD (Single ascending dose) and MAD (Multiple ascending dose) studies. In addition, this study evaluates the food effects of XH-S003.
Diets low in seafood omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are very prevalent. Such diets have recently been ranked as the sixth most important dietary risk factor-1.5 million deaths and 33 million disability-adjusted life-years worldwide are attributable to this deficiency. Wild oily fish stocks are insufficient to feed the world's population, and levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in farmed fish have more than halved in the last 20 years. The primary objective of this randomised, double-blinded, controlled nutritional trial will be to test if consumption of at least 4 servings of omega-3 PUFA-enriched chicken-meat and 4 enriched eggs per week, over a 4-month period, results in measurably higher blood levels of EPA and DHA in healthy Saudi adults. This will be a randomised double-blind interventional study. Eighty adult male and female participants (age ≥ 18 years of age) will be asked to eat at least 4 portions of omega-3-PUFA enriched (or control) chicken-meat per week, and at least 4 omega-3-PUFA enriched (or control) eggs per week, for 4 months. Participants will be assessed at baseline and at monthly intervals for 4 months. Assessments at these visits will include; comprehensive lifestyle and medical history; food frequency questionnaire; 3 days food record; height, weight, waist and hip circumferences; blood sampling; participant well-being and adverse events. Measurement of plasma and red blood cell levels of EPA, DHA and Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) will be performed at baseline and at study end using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. The primary end point will be the change in red blood cell omega-3-index (sum of EPA and DHA expressed as percentage of total fatty acids in erythrocyte membranes) at 4 months. The nutritional trial will be analyzed on an intension to treat basis. Repeated measures ANOVA will be used to compare the two study groups. The study will be reported in accordance with the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) 2010 statement.
This study aims to examine the role of exercise intensity in the acute effects of a single bout of aerobic exercise on neurotrophic factors, biomarkers of stress and inflammation, working memory task-related changes in prefrontal cortex oxygenation in adults with stress-related symptoms, and matched healthy controls.
