Filter by:A non-randomised mixed methods controlled before-and-after study. The study evaluated the effects of a classroom-based physical activity intervention in primary school children on physical activity. Two schools were allocated to deliver the classroom-based intervention for eight weeks, and three schools continued with their usual school routine.
Internet-based health promotion programs have the potential to reach more individuals than in person interventions, without overtaxing healthcare resources. Having a high quality, user-centered web-based program can help maximize user engagement and adherence. Thus, the primary objective of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a web-based physical activity behavior change program on recently retired and/or empty nest populations. The primary research question is: Is it worthwhile to conduct a larger scale eHealth study targeting empty nest and/or retired populations based on preliminary results and feedback from this pilot study. We will also be examining changes other behavioral indicators related to physical activity as a secondary outcome measure.
The main purpose of the study is to assess the fatigue, cognition, quality of life and disability correlation to MS-patients daily physical activity.
Patients (pts) with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) requiring coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) may be physically inactive during the waiting period to avoid further risks. Aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility and safety of a preoperative aerobic exercise training in these pts during the waiting period and to analyze its effects on pre-, peri and postoperative outcomes
The aims of this parallel two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an audio-recorded mindfulness-based intervention and to assess whether the intervention results in a clinically meaningful difference in physical activity compared to the control condition
Maximum fatty acid oxidation is known to occur at exercise intensities between 45 and 65% VO2max and in the fasting state. However, the optimal level may depend on various unknown factors. Glycerolemia is a good marker of the fatty acid metabolism but its evolution remains poorly described, maybe due to the difficulty of the measure. A new device allows an easy measurement of glycerolemia during exercise and could enable personalization strategies to optimize exercise efficacy. In this study, the investigators plan to test three different exercise types and three different fasting conditions with three replicates each to evaluate the variability of glycerolemia and its evolution during exercise.
This project is a 6-8-years follow-up of a randomized controlled trial testing a stepped care stress management program. The main goal is to examining differences in long-term effects on cancer-related stress reactions and emotional reactivity between the intervention and control group. Secondary objectives is to investigate consequences of cancer and its' treatment over time, such as long term quality of life, objectively physical activity and experiences concerning follow-up and the transition from specialist health services to municipal health services.
The purpose of this study is to establish the acceptability and feasibility of a culturally relevant, theory-based smartphone-delivered physical activity intervention among African American women aged 50-65 years.
This study evaluates the effects of a 10-session physical activity intervention for trauma afflicted refugees. Half of participants will receive this 10-session physical activity intervention and half of the participants will be allocated to the control group.
The proposed mixed methods pilot study will enroll 20 young breast cancer survivors into a 12-week technology-based, remotely-delivered, peer-moderated physical activity program to examine the effects of the intervention on objectively measured physical activity and multiple aspects of quality of life; and conduct qualitative analyses to refine the intervention for a future randomized controlled trial.
