Filter by:This project should allow the investigators to observe the effects of low load training under partial vascular occlusion (BFR) in comparison with resistance training at low load without partial vascular occlusion in sedentary people overweight on parameters : decrease in fat mass; increase in muscle mass 79; muscle strength; decrease in the energy cost of walking; increase in preferred walking speed; improvement in walking pattern in patients overweight. Training under partial vascular occlusion should facilitate physical activity in overweight people as it can be just as effective as a "classic" type training with heavy loads. Thus, this device could allow people for who wear heavy loads can present an obstacle to physical activity to feel more involved in the physical activity programs offered in medical or sports centers.
This clinical study aims to investigate the effects of TOTUM-63, a mix of 5 plant extracts, consumed at the daily regimen of three times per day, on cardiometabolic health and gut microbiota profile in overweight-obese individuals.
NNC0487-0111 is a new medicine similar to 2 hormones that are produced in human body: amylin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Both hormones work like body's own hormones and help the body to feel full. This study tests if the study medicine is safe and to find out how the medicine works in humans. This study also look at how the study medicine affects body weight and how to improve the treatment of people with overweight, obesity or related diseases. This study will have 4 parts: Part A, B, C and D. Part A: This is planned to consist of five groups, one additional group may be added. Each group will include 8 participants, with 6 participants being randomised to receive a single dose of NNC0487-0111 A and 2 participants randomised to receive placebo. The dosing within each group will be sequential, i.e., 2 sentinel participants (1 on active and 1 on placebo). Part B: This is planned to consist of three groups, one additional group may be added. Each group will include 12 participants, with 9 participants being randomised to receive NNC0487-0111 A and 3 participants randomised to receive placebo once daily for 10 days. The dosing within each group will be sequential. For the first group, 4 sentinel participants (3 on active and 1 on placebo) will be dosed followed by a safety observation period of 7 days (168 hours), before dosing of the remaining participants in the group will be initiated. For the remaining groups, 4 sentinel participants (3 on active and 1 on placebo) will be dosed followed by a safety observation period of at least 36 hours before dosing of the remaining participants in the group will be initiated. Part C and D are matching regarding planned visits and procedures, but the study interventions in Part D (NNC0487-0111 B) differ from Part A, B and C (NNC0487-0111 A). Each part is planned to consist of one group, although one additional group may be added. Each group will include 20 participants, with 16 participants being randomised to receive active treatment and 4 participants randomised to receive placebo once-daily for 12 weeks. The dosing will be sequential, i.e., 4 sentinel participants (3 on active and 1 on placebo) will be dosed followed by a safety observation period of at least 36 hours before dosing of the remaining participants in the cohort will be initiated. The remaining participants will be dosed in smaller groups of 8 participants separated by a safety observation period of at least 36 hours. A safety evaluation will be made between dosing of participants within a group and before moving on to a higher dose.
Obesity is considered the epidemic of the 21st century. Obesity is a multifactorial disease and the most important risk factors are poor diet and sedentary lifestyle. An excessive body weight contributes to increase the risk of suffering from other diseases and mortality rates. Therefore, the prevention and control of excessive body weight as well as its comorbidities are essential. In this sense, the principal strategy to treat obesity is to improve dietary habits and increase physical activity. However, the rate of obesity continues rising. In order to deal with this problem, new strategies to combat obesity are being investigated, such as the investigation of new bioactive compounds with satiating capacity that can be included in healthy dietary patterns to improve adherence to dietary treatments. Considering this background, the main objective of this research is to assess the effect of daily consumption of protein rich bars accompanied by healthy dietary recommendations on weight loss of overweight/obese adult men and women.
The prevalence of adults with overweight (50%) and obesity (15%) reached high number in Belgium. Important lifestyle behaviors, i.e. sleep, sedentary time (SB), and physical activity (PA) subdivided into light physical activity (LPA) and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), have shown an impact on overweight and obesity characteristics (e.g. adiposity). However, these behaviors have often been investigated separately. Therefore, a recent shift in research emphasizes the importance of considering these behaviors as part of a 24-hour day. Since these adults can benefit from an optimal 24-hour composition as part of a healthy lifestyle, it may be interesting to investigate the 24-hour movement composition among these adults. In addition, exploring different personal determinants, environmental determinants, and cardiometabolic markers will provide meaningful insights in developing an intervention.
This study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of a family-oriented augmentation of the Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle intervention (DPP), called the Family DPP. It will also preliminarily examine adult and child health and health behavior outcomes. The DPP is a 12-month, group-based lifestyle intervention for adults at high-risk for type 2 diabetes, in which adult participants learn skills and strategies to achieve the program's goals of 5% weight loss and 150 minutes/week of moderate-vigorous physical activity. The Family DPP will consist of all elements of the evidence-based DPP, along with augmentations including additional child-focused sessions in which adult participants will learn about principles and strategies for promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors in children, ages 5 through 12 years. Children may participate in certain child-focused sessions, too. The non-randomized pilot feasibility study will consists of 2 arms/groups: 1) the concurrent "control" group, consisting of adults who are enrolled in the DPP; and 2) the "intervention" arm, in which the adult participants will engage in the Family DPP (and children may participate in certain aspects of the Family DPP focused on children). The study will recruit 10-15 adult-child dyads, for the "intervention" groups, and 10-15 adults for the concurrent control group. In addition to data collected from adult participants as a routine part of the DPP, the study will examine additional adult health behaviors and health outcomes and child health outcomes (change in body mass index z-score) and health behaviors at baseline, 6 months and 12 months (program end) among participants in the "intervention" group.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a fibre mixture added to a high-protein diet on metabolic, gut and brain health.
The investigators aim to test the hypothesis that a microbiome-changing dietary intervention improves food decision-making and to determine the underlying microbiotal and metabolic mechanisms. To this end, 90 overweight/obese adults will be enrolled in a randomized controlled trial to test the effects of a pre-biotic dietary intervention (supplementary intake of soluble fibre) or a behavioural lifestyle intervention (weekly educational program) vs. control condititon (supplementary intake of isocaloric starch) over a period of 26 weeks. Before and after the intervention/control period, participants will undergo task-based functional and structural MRI and cognitive testing. The gut microbiota will be assessed using 16S rDNA next-generation sequencing (V3/V4 region) in stool samples. Diet, anthropometry and lifestyle will be monitored with questionnaires and metabolomics will be assayed in peripheral blood and stool (e.g. SCFA). Using a modulation of gut-brain communication through a prebiotic diet and lifestyle intervention, respectively, the investigators will be able to discover microbiota communities that play a key role for eating behaviour. Related mechanistic insights could help to develop novel preventive and therapeutic options to combat unhealthy weight gain in our obesogenic society.
Overweight and obesity is becoming increasingly prevalent, constituting 64% of all adults in England, causing an incessant rise in cost to the National Health Service. Exercise and physical activity have the potential to reduce incidence of overweight and obesity, as well as improve obesity-related ill health. However, overweight and obese individuals are inherently sedentary and do not meet exercise guidelines. Same-session concurrent exercise training may be the most efficient exercise strategy to incorporate both cardiovascular- and strength-based exercise, both of which are vital for health-related benefits. This research project will aim to determine the feasibility of completing an 8-week concurrent exercise training programme in overweight and obese sedentary males. This study will aim to recruit adult males with a BMI above 25 kg.m2, who are otherwise healthy, but not regularly achieving exercise guidelines (less than 150 minutes of physical activity and 2 strength training sessions per week). Participants will undergo baseline and post-training testing of cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, heart and metabolic health, as well as a series of questionnaires and a semi-structured interview. They will then be randomised into one of two groups (high-intensity interval training or concurrent training) to complete twice-weekly exercise sessions for 8 weeks. The aims of this study are to evaluate the feasibility of performing 8-weeks of either concurrent, resistance or high-intensity interval training in overweight and obese males. This will be determined through assessment of cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, heart health, metabolic health, enjoyment, adherence and attendance.
The purpose of this study is to test the OA Clinic-Community CARE Model (OA CARE) which will address all recommended components of knee/hip (osteoarthritis) OA care, include interventions for both patients and primary care providers (PCPs), and utilize a tailored approach that efficiently matches treatments with patients' needs. The patient component of OA CARE will include evidence-based weight management and exercise programs for all participants (delivered through the YMCA), as well as tailored referrals to physical therapy, additional weight management or nutrition services, sleep-related services and psychological services. The PCP component of OA CARE will include a video-based summary of current OA treatment guidelines (with emphasis on practical application), collaboration on patients' referrals to specific services described above, and progress reports on enrolled patients.
