Filter by:Tuberculosis (TB) patients often have a lower body mass index (BMI) and experience wasting. Wasting reduces lean body mass and may cause physical function impairment. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of fermented soybeans (tempeh) as a food supplement on body weight and physical function changes among active pulmonary tuberculosis patients with standard therapy.
This doctoral thesis has the aim to identify the role of Brain-derived neurotropic factor in the relationship between physical fitness/activity and executive functions in typically developing children and children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Development Coordination Disorder , Attention Hyperactive Disorder.
A promising form of enhancing brain function non-invasively involves stimulating the brain using weak magnetic or electric currents. This method is becoming increasingly popular in both clinical and commercial circles; a number of portable, at-home devices are available on the commercial market for personal use. In this study, the investigators aim to determine factors associated with the enhancement of cognitive and motor learning following transcranial direct-current stimulation in healthy young adults. Understanding how participants respond to brain stimulation is critical to maximizing the effectiveness of stimulation and determining its potential as a performance-enhancing aid for mental tasks. Future developments of this study may also inform the capacity of brain stimulation to act as non-drug alternative to treatment for cognitive decline.
2 young candidates have tragically died during army pre-recruitment sorting series in 2006. As part of the classification and characterization of the physical aspects of the training, this experiment was requested. We aim at determining the characteristics of physical strains in sorting series, by objective and subjective parameters and evaluating the difficulty levels and intensity of those strains.
This study plans to learn more about physical activity and physical function in sedentary older adults with type 2 diabetes.
The purpose of this project is to develop a Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP) training protocol, and test the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of its delivery in an elementary school setting.
The primary aim of the study is to examine whether the provision of personalised multidimensional physical activity profiles (derived from technological advances in physical activity monitoring) is supported by instantaneous physical activity feedback in fostering a meaningful change in physical activity behaviour amongst adults.
An increasingly physical inactive lifestyle in the Western World has led to a higher number of lifestyle -related diseases. The consequences are now already present in childhood with an increased prevalence of overweight, obesity, and diabetes. Inactivity is also accompanied by cardiovascular iseases and is also thought to be associated with an increased incidence of nearsightedness (myopia). Myopia is the most frequent eye disease globally, and causes severe personal and societal expenses and may additionally lead to secondary eye disorders such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataract. The retina is the only place in the human body where it is possible to directly inspect the blood vessels (microvasculature). Photography of the eye background allows a noninvasive examination of the retinal structure in which it is possible to make measurements on the retinal blood vessels. It is well known that early vascular chances can be detected with this method and that there are correlation between these changes and systemic diseases, such as hypertension, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. This study is a new subproject in The Childhood Health, Activity, and Motor Performance School (CHAMPS) Study Denmark, also known as the Svendborg Project. The project has a well-defined cohort with originally 1515 school students who since 2007 have been divided into two groups: schools with extra exercise during school hours and matched traditional schools. CHAMPS-DK aims to investigate the effect of increased physical activity on current and future health of children and adolescents. Thanks to this unique child cohort it is possible to investigate the correlation between physical activity, myopia and retinal vascular diameters in a large group of Danish schoolchildren. We want to study the degree and reversibility of physical activity and its effect on the development of myopia and retinal blood vessel changes. However, there is still a lack of knowledge about the correlation between physical activity and retinal vascular diameters in children. Furthermore, it is still unclear whether physical activity can prevent the development of myopia; such a realization could have far-reaching consequences in form of a modified approach to the necessity for exercise and, furthermore, potentially a significant socio-economic benefit.
This approach will train peer mentors to deliver a culturally appropriate intervention and provide social support that is critical for facilitating and sustaining health behavior change. The objective is to compare the efficacy of an innovative healthy lifestyle skills mentoring program (Mentored Planning to be Active [MBA]) to a teacher led program (PBA) for increasing physical activity in Appalachian high school teens. MBA emphasizes the social determinants of health by using a social networking approach that trains peer mentors to support targeted teens
Physical inactivity is a health problem that affects people worldwide and has been identified as the fourth largest risk factor for overall mortality (contributing to 6% of deaths globally). Many researchers have tried to increase physical activity (PA) levels through traditional methods without much success. Thus, many researchers are turning to mobile technology as an emerging method for changing health behaviours.The study consists of a physical activity intervention through a mobile application in elderly. The study is a 3x2 model, in which the sample is distributed in three study groups (over 53 years) and were evaluated at 10 weeks from baseline.
