Filter by:High levels of sustained sedentary time in office workers are associated with non-communicable diseases as e.g. cardio-vascular diseases or diabetes. Moreover, recent evidence has further suggested a relationship between prolonged sitting periods and adverse mental health outcomes. Based on these facts, various types of occupational health-related interventions have already been undertaken, thereby mostly focusing on physical aspects. However, a promising intervention option that has only rarely been investigated in this context, are so-called exergames, which allow a combined physical and cognitive training in a motivating and time-efficient manner. This pilot trial aims to determine the usability and feasibility of an exergame-based intervention targeting occupational health aspects, whilst secondarily exploring potential effects on physical and cognitive functions. The study is planned for healthy (self-reported) office workers, aged between 18 and 65 years. Participants are asked to perform a minimum of 18 training sessions with a duration of 10-20 minutes during a period of six weeks. The design is planned as a two-arm crossover trial, where participants will randomly get allocated to a group, and either start with the training period or the control period (no training). After having completed the six-week training period, participants will evaluate the usability and report their experience with the exergame device. In terms of evaluation of the feasibility, adherence and attrition rates will be calculated at the end of the study. Before, after six weeks, as well as after 12 weeks, cognitive and physical assessments will be performed and questionnaires on behalf of stress experience and management will be elicited. The findings of this pilot trial will help to explore the possibilities of designing occupational health interventions by the implementation of motor-cognitive exergames. In addition, this trial offers the possibility of exploratorily analyzing the effects of exergame training in office-workers.
The main objective of this trial is to investigate the relative bioavailability of a single dose of BI 1810631 intended commercial formulation (iCF) under fed (Test treatment, T) and fasted (Reference treatment, R) conditions.
In this line of research, the researchers are examining whether performance on a cued attentional suppression (ignoring) task is related to performance on a learned attentional suppression task. In addition, these measures are related to the capacity of working memory and every day inattentive traits.
This is a phase I study to evaluate the PBPK of zolmitriptan intranasal versus oral administration.
The main objective of this trial is to investigate the induction effect of multiple oral doses of BI 1015550 on the pharmacokinetics of nintedanib or pirfenidone.
During a submaximal task, gradual muscle fatigue occurs, which inevitably results in a decline in performance (mechanical failure). Elite athletes are known to employ unconscious compensatory strategies during fatiguing submaximal tasks in an attempt to delay the onset of mechanical failure as long as possible. The purpose of this study was to gain valuable insight into the strategies used by elite swimmers to cope with mechanical failure. Twenty-two swimmers were subjected to a swim test consisting of swimming as long as possible at a predetermined and controlled pace. A light strip positioned at the bottom of the pool allows athletes to get feedback on which gait to keep. The kinematics (stroke rate, stroke length, and efficiency index) and electrical activity of 10 muscle groups were analyzed and compared at the beginning of the test (non-fatiguing conditions), just before the athlete lost the ability to maintain the predetermined pace (pre-mechanical failure), and after the athlete lost the ability to maintain the pace (mechanical failure). It is hypothesized that as fatigue becomes more pronounced and the point of inability to maintain a predetermined speed is approached, increased EMG activity will occur in key muscles while other muscle groups may show more obvious signs of fatigue. In addition, changes in the rhythm and coordination of upper limb movements may occur.
Study Purpose: To examine the acute effects of antioxidant supplementation on energy use during a single bout of exercise in apparently healthy adult men and women. Specifically this study examined the acute effect of MitoQ on: 1. cardiopulmonary responses to submax and maximal exercise 2. Energy expenditure and fat/carbohydrate oxidation during sub maximal exercise. In a double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled, cross-over study design, participants performed 2 experimental trials which differed only in the supplement consumed (MitoQ or Placebo). Participants performed identical exercise protocols which consisted of a series of submaximal workloads followed by a ramp protocol to volitional exhaustion.
EEG Measures during Visual Search Task. In this line of research, the researchers having participants receive a positive (target) template cue, negative (distractor) template cue, or neutral (non-informative) template cue. Note: This is a re-analysis of previously collected data.
A phase 1, single center, 1 sequence, 3 period, open label, multiple doses study to evaluate the drug-drug interaction of JMKX000623 tablet and metformin.
D-allulose, a low-calorie sugar, provides an attractive alternative to sucrose and added sugars in products. This study aimed to verify the tolerance of d-allulose in children, in doses that are Generally Recognised As Safe (GRAS) and below maximum tolerable levels on g/kg basis.
