Filter by:The study aims to investigate the impact of Soleus Push Ups (SPU) on Soleus Muscle endurance, Oxidative Stress Markers, Inflammatory markers and Adipocytokines among people in the United Arab Emirates. This will be a pre-post intervention study with participants divided into three groups: Lean normal metabolic profile, metabolically healthy overweight/obese, and patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Assessment of anthropometry and body composition, Soleus Muscle Endurance, blood tests for Inflammatory Markers, Oxidative Stress Markers, and Adipocytokines will be conducted pre and post-intervention.
The goal of this interventional study is to learn about the improvement in body composition effects of lifestyle intervention in subjects with metabolic syndrome. The main question it aims to answer is: Does life style intervention lower body fat% and gene methylation levels in subjects with metabolic syndrome? Participants will answer survey questions and get blood and body composition testing done at day 0, at 6 months and 12 months. Keep a diary of their food and activity and the number of times they use mobile health application.
The purpose of the study is to re-examine body composition, respiratory function, exercise tolerance, and dyspnea on exertion (DOE) in children with obesity (CWO) and children without obesity (CWOO) who were originally studied as 8-12-year-olds between 2016-2023 (i.e., originally Tanner score ≤ 3; 90 participants; 26 CWOO & 64 CWO). Additionally, the investigators will study the effects of weight loss on body composition, respiratory function, exercise tolerance, and DOE in CWO.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a 10-wk hybrid Tai Chi (TC) program with in-person classes and online TC videos among 24 physically inactive adults who are seeking metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) in a single-arm trial. The aims are: Aim 1: Feasibility: To evaluate whether TC is feasible, defined as a mean attendance rate of ≥70% in-person TC classes attended. Aim 2: Acceptability: To evaluate whether TC is acceptable, defined as a mean rating of ≥4 across 4 acceptability questionnaire items measured on a 5-point Likert scale (e.g., rate "Tai Chi practice is appealing to me" on a scale from 1 [completely disagree] to 5 [completely agree]). Participants will complete four individual in-person visits where they will complete study assessments and ten weekly group in-person Tai Chi classes where they will practice Tai Chi with up to 5 other study participants. Additionally, they will be asked to practice Tai Chi at home with the aid of instructional online videos and log their practice.
Our society is characterized by a strong increase in the prevalence of obesity, which often causes the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. The way(s) obesity is responsible for these diseases, is still insufficiently understood. This study therefore examines the content of human fat tissue storage location- and cell type-specific extracellular vesicles (EVs) in lean and obese individuals, and the possible connection with sex, insulin sensitivity, and the blood-brain barrier.
The goal of this study is to compare two types of exercises, isometric exercise (like squats and planks) and aerobic exercise (such as running), to see which one is more effective at improving blood pressure in teenagers aged 13 to 17.5 years. The main question the study aims to answer is: - Do the effects of one session of isometric exercise on the blood pressure of adolescents compare to the effects of one session of aerobic exercise? Adolescents diagnosed with high blood pressure may qualify for this study. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a single session of isometric exercise or a single session of aerobic exercise. - Participants will attend 3 study visits in total. - Study visits should be completed within 4 weeks of enrollment. - At the initial visit, samples (example: blood) will be collected and body measurements will be taken. - Participants will be asked to answer questionnaires (diet, growth, and others) - At visit 2, participants will have their blood pressure measured using a 24 hour blood pressure monitor. - At visit 3, participants will participate in a single session of either aerobic or isometric exercise. They will wear a 24-hour blood pressure monitor immediately after the exercise session.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test effectiveness of "The Healthy Choices Program, in adolescents. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. Effectiveness of Healthy Choices on Body Mass Index 2. Effectiveness of Healthy Choices on Health Attitude, Nutrition and Physical Activity Knowledge 3. Effectiveness of Healthy Choices on Fruit,vegetable, water consumption
To determine the additional effects of Quranic listening meditation, in combination with High-Intensity Interval Training on cardiovascular fitness and mental health in obese adults.
Food intake along with the gene are important factors that influence human nutrition status and health. Indonesia has a balanced nutrition diet guide for ideal food consumption. The FTO rs9939609 gene is known to be related to obesity. This study aimed to examine the effect of a balanced nutritional diet intervention on body composition among different single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the FTO rs9939609 gene in obese young women in Bandung City, West Java, Indonesia.
It remains unclear whether CPAP therapy should be prescribed if significant hypoxemia persists during CPAP titration, despite optimization of upper airway obstructive events, if maximum CPAP pressure is reached. The goal was to examine the effects of 6 months of home AVAPS therapy in patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome as a potential option for patients who failed CPAP titration due to persistent hypoxemia.
