Filter by:This pilot cohort study aimed to investigate the immediate impact of Virtual Reality (VR) exergaming on heart rate (HR), rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and technology acceptance using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) in healthy adults. Participants engaged in a 20-minute session of VR exergaming using the Meta Oculus Quest 2™ headset. HR and RPE were measured at baseline, during, and after the intervention, while technology acceptance was assessed pre- and post-intervention using the UTAUT questionnaire. The results showed that VR exergaming increased HR while maintaining perceived exertion at low to moderate levels. Technology acceptance also improved significantly across all domains measured by UTAUT, with particularly notable increases in Performance Expectancy and Effort Expectancy. The findings suggest that VR exergaming is an effective method to enhance physical activity, motivation, and engagement, providing promising support for its use as a rehabilitation tool for individuals struggling with adherence and motivation.
This study employed a randomized crossover design to assess the impacts of three different experimental conditions-standard environment, music, and verbal encouragement-on performance in an isometric endurance task, with comparisons made between untrained and trained individuals. Interventions were spaced seven days apart. Measurements included muscle activity and fatigue, assessed via surface electromyography, and the duration of the task. The isometric endurance task required participants to maintain a 90° elbow flexion while holding a dumbbell in a supine grip, weighted to 80% of their one-repetition maximum, on the dominant side. During the task, participants were to keep their back and head against a vertical wall, stand with feet shoulder-width apart, and firmly on the ground. The dumbbell was held with the dominant arm, and the other arm was kept neutral by the side. It was crucial to avoid any rocking or movements that would ease maintaining the position. The test began when the bar was handed to the participant in the correct stance and concluded once the arm's angle deviated by more than five degrees from the start.
The world's population needs adequate food supply to sustain food security. The availability of sufficient dietary protein is undeniably a source of concern for human health. This study aimed to assess the satiety and potential health benefits of two types of vegetarian diets when the meat was replaced with buckwheat and respectively fava bean for one-week in the diet of healthy volunteers.
The purpose of the study is to measure the effects of a 6 week sport specific BET intervention on physical and cognitive performance parameters in elite orienteering athletes.
A study in healthy volunteers to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of OCT461201. The study included a screening period, a single dose of study treatment or placebo and a follow up period.
The primary objective of this single-arm pilot study is to investigate the effects of an encapsulated calcium butyrate dietary supplement on gastrointestinal (GI) health outcomes in healthy adults, including GI symptom severity (e.g., gas/flatulence and abdominal bloating), bowel habits (frequency and consistency), digestion-associated quality of life, and measures of GI permeability.
This study comprised of 2 parts, Part A and Part B. Part B will only be conducted if the relative bioavailability of the tablet formulation was at least 70% of the capsule formulation.
This study investigates how different low-carbohydrate diets affect metabolism and hunger in overweight adults. We will measure metabolic rates and blood metabolites.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the product RV1551P GB3224 on skin microbiota during wound healing process, based on swab samples collected from lesion areas using an epidermally ablated skin model of erbium YAG laser.
This study was designed to investigate the effects of Square-Stepping Exercise Training on cognitive functions and quality of life in geriatric individuals. The volunteer participants in the study were randomly divided into two groups: a square-stepping exercise group and a control group. In the study, participants in the exercise training groups received square stepping exercises three days a week for six weeks, while those in the control group did not undergo any training. Both groups were assessed before and six weeks after the training period. The investigators used several assessment tools including Hodkinson's Mental Test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Stroop Test, Trail Making Test, and the Turkish World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Scale.
