Filter by:The kinesiophobia; defined as irrational fear of movement, which may occur after painful injury and reduce physical activity. It develops the idea that movement in individuals will cause re-injury and cause additional pain to existing pain. Studies have shown that this situation leads to a decrease in physical fitness, avoidance of activity, decrease in quality of life and even depression in the long term. It is known that functional problems such as balance problems and decrease in physical activity level occur in patients with Parkinson's disease. However, in the literature, there is no study investigating the presence of kinesiophobia in patients with Parkinson's disease. Therefore, the aims of our study were to 1) determine the presence / absence of kinesiophobia in patients with Parkinson's disease 2) determine the relationship between kinesiophobia and falling, balance, physical activity level in the presence of kinesiophobia.
Evidence supports the fact that multicomponent exercise and β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) supplementation are, separately, effective in improving old adult's health and palliate functional metabolic diseases in the elderly. However, the true effect of HMB supplementation combined with a tailored exercise program in frail old adults is still unknown. Thus, the aim of the HEAL study is to assess the effects of the combination of a daily multicomponent exercise and resistance training intervention in addition to HMB supplementation on old adults' health.
This study is for physically inactive adults. Participants will be enrolled in the Positive Psychology and Physical Activity intervention designed to help them overcome barriers to physical activity, based on the principals of positive psychology. This will involve six weekly one-hour group-based sessions at a local YMCA with a trained group leader. In addition to the in-person sessions, there will be text messages sent to participants about physical activity that include positive psychology content.
The Keeping Adults Physically Active (KAPA) feasibility study aimed to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the an intervention designed to encourage the continuation of physical activity following the completion of a Falls Management Exercise program.
The Exercise and Obesity Health Promotion (PESO) program is a randomized controlled trial designed to analyze the effects of a lifestyle intervention in weight management and health-related parameters of overweight and obese premenopausal women
This study evaluates the effect of 120 minutes extra of physical education (PE) or physical activity (PA) on adolescents' physical health, mental health, academic performance and learning environment. This is a cluster-randomized controlled trial with three arms, where the participants in two of the groups will have different models of increased PE/PA during the school week, whereas the participants in the third arm is the control group including current practice.
To investigate physical fitness and activity levels in children with epilepsy and compare the results with healthy peers.
There is a high prevalence of poor sleep quality among university students studying in different areas such as medicine, nursing, art, science, social work etc. and in different countries. However, the studies done especially for physiotherapy students, and in Turkey, as well, are not many. Therefore, we aimed to search the sleep quality among physiotherapy students, and observe the association between the health related quality of life and physical activity level of the physiotherapy students. The physiotherapy students were included. Their quality of sleep will be assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The physical activity will be searched by International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and SF-36 will be used to assess quality of life. Data is going to analyzed statistically
Clinical objectives: estimate the common effect of the EfiKroniK physical exercise program for people with a set of Chronic diseases (solid cancers, hematological, schizophrenia and COPD), expressed in terms of functional capacity, quality of life and others results, regarding the standardized intervention of healthy habits 'Prescribe Healthy Living 'PVS. Implementation objectives: describe the adherence, continuity, adequacy and usefulness of EfiKroniK perceived by patients and professionals, with the purpose of designing implementation strategies, which will be evaluated in future trials. Design: clinical trial and implementation, pragmatic and randomized to two groups stratified by pathology, followed for 12 m. Participants: 370 patients diagnosed with solid cancers, hematological cancers, schizophrenia and COPD, in the most advanced stages. Scope: Hospital de Cruces, Basque Country University, Primary Care Research Unit of Bizkaia. Intervention: personalized exercise program for patients, supervised during 3 months by nursing in primary and autonomous care afterwards, with support from community resources. Reference group: PVS program, of proven effectiveness for the promotion of physical activity, diet and smoking cessation. Measurements: main measure of results: functional capacity at 3 months (6-minute test and submaximal running / running tests at foot to determine the speed of lactate thresholds) and quality of life at 6 and 12 months (SF-36 and specific questionnaires by pathology). Secondary variable results: physical and psychic symptomatology, biological markers, physical form and survival. Analysis: The common effect of the exercise will be estimated by comparing both groups by intention to treat, by means of analysis of the covariance of mixed effects for the changes observed at 3, 6 and 12 months adjusted for the baseline and possible confounders. Previously, a possible interaction effect between the pathology group and the effect of the intervention will be ruled out. The cost-effectiveness and cost-utility reasons.
This study evaluates the implementation of the BOKS program in three schools (K-8) in Revere, MA, and its effect on participating students with regard to BMI, cognitive, and quality of life outcomes. BOKS (Build Our Kids' Success) is a before-school physical activity program that has been implemented in over 2,000 elementary and middle schools. Two sessions will be held (Spring 2018 and Winter 2018. This is a cohort study evaluating the impact of program participation on child BMI, quality of life, and executive function.
