Filter by:Primary immunodeficiency is a clinically, immunologically, and genetically heterogeneous group of diseases that occur as a result of quantitative and/or qualitative deficiency of one or more cellular and molecular components belonging to the immune system. This classification, called the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health ( ICF), constitutes a common language and perspective for the definition of health and health-related conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the body structure function, activity and participation limitations of adult immunodeficiency patients within the scope of ICF and to compare body structure function, activity and participation limitations and compare with healthy people.
The goal of this pilot study is to test the feasibility and participant adherence (pediatric patients diagnosed with childhood cancer) to a virtual, 12-week physical activity program. The aims of this project are to: 1. Determine the feasibility of administering the program and patient acceptability. 2. Report program adherence and completion rates. 3. Explore trends on the impact of a virtual PA intervention on psychosocial health and physical fitness. Participants will undergo pre- and post-assessments including measurements of fitness, self-reported fatigue and depression symptoms, social support, and current amount of physical activity. Patients will then be invited to participate in two consecutive, 12-week virtual physical activity interventions with similar-aged peers (2x/week, 60 minutes/session) over 2 rounds.
In post-menopause, most women gain weight, and obesity rates are more prevalent in this particular group. In addition, there is an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes. Given that this weight gain can be related to risk behaviours, healthy weight management (such as an increase in physical activity or healthy eating) is crucial to promote a healthy weight and well-being. The ME-WEL (MEnopause and WEigth Loss) project (ref. SFRH/BD/144525/2019), entails an eHealth intervention for weight management and well-being in post-menopausal women with overweight or obesity, based on two theoretical models of behavioral change - the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA), and the Health Belief Model (HBM), and applying the Behaviour Change Techniques Taxonomy (BCTT). This group's eHealth intervention lasts 8 weeks. Each week there is a different theme to be addressed, taking into account the behavioral change models mechanisms, in articulation with different BCT´s. Subjective well-being, self-esteem, weight loss, implementation of weight management strategies, and changes in eating behavior and physical activity/exercise were evaluated, through follow-ups at 3- and 6- post-intervention.
The Children Sit Less, Move More (C-SLAMM) study aims to test the feasibility and potential effect of a multi-component school and home-based pilot cluster randomized control trial on reducing sedentary behavior and increasing physical activity in children. This pilot intervention will be an 8-week two-armed cluster RCT. Individuals (children aged 7-9 years) will be the unit of analysis and schools (cluster) randomly assigned to one of two arms: (1) Physical activity and sedentary behavior (intervention arm), or (2) current practice (control arm). The design conduct and reporting of the intervention with adhere to the Consolidation Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guidelines and is guided by the Standard Protocol Items for Randomized Trials (SPIRIT) Statement.
The Effect of Feedback on Physical Activity Surveillance using Wearable Device-Smartphone Application for Resolution of Metabolic Syndrome in Aged 60 or older; a 12-Week Randomized Control Study
The goal of this study, named the Active Learning for PHYsical Literacy (ALPHYL) study, was to describe a multicomponent class-based physically-active learning randomized control trial (RCT) in primary school children. The main purpose was to promote children's physical literacy, academic achievement and cognitive function. The ALPHYL study is mainly based on physical literacy, active school models and Supportive, Active, Autonomous, Fair and Enjoyable principles.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about in former COVID-19 patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - are there any association among pain, fear of falling, fall frequency, and physical activity level - are there any difference between former COVID-19 elders and non-COVID-19 elderly population
The aim of this study is to develop, implement, and evaluate a novel intervention to increase physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour among pre-school children, with the ultimate goal of reducing obesity among this age group. This study will provide evidence-based recommendations for reducing the prevalence of obesity among preschool-aged children, and the suggestions will help improve the physical activity intervention programme in preschoolers.
This pilot study will provide a theory-based low-cost and easy-to-operate program in the area of healthy lifestyle promotion among community dwelling older adults. The blended intervention product will be helpful for health professionals, social workers and practitioners working in the elderly centers and health centers to promote older adults' PA, healthy diet and wellness. Furthermore, this study would initiate advocacy for policymakers to disseminate cost-saving, time-efficient and effective healthy lifestyle programs to the communities for healthy aging promotion.
Hemodialysis is the most commonly used renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. At present, more than 553,000 ESRD patients in China are receiving hemodialysis treatment, but the long-term survival rate is low, and the annual mortality rate is as high as 18%. This is significantly related to lower physical activity in hemodialysis patients. Physical inactivity can lead to the decline of cardiopulmonary function and muscle function, the aggravation of daily life restriction and the increased risk of death. The National Kidney Foundation Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) recommends physical activity as cornerstone of ESRD rehabilitation. But hemodialysis patients are still living in a physical inactivity state. In the early stage of this study, the Physical Activity Enhancement Scheme (PACES) was developed for hemodialysis patients, that is, taking spaces as the core of physical activity investigation, and encouraging patients to start to improve physical activity. The PACES has been registered on the ClinicalTrials.gov before (number: NCT05189795). The investigators now plan to evaluate the impact of PACES on physical activity of hemodialysis patients through clinical trials.
