Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of monitoring and sharing physical activity outcomes (using Fitbit technology) with a domestic partner on physical activity participation. Primary research question: Does sharing physical activity outcomes from wearable technology with a participant's partner improve overall physical activity over 3 months compared to not sharing outcomes? Physical activity will be measured as minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week. Hypothesis: Knowledge that physical activity outcomes are visible to a participant's partner will serve as a proxy-supervision intervention. Awareness of partner's progress will serve as further motivation. Both factors will improve physical activity adherence in comparison to participants without shared outcomes.
The aim of this study is to compare sleep quality, job satisfaction, quality of life, occupational burnout levels among individuals who do or do not do exercise.
This study aimed to compare the effects of group exercises under physiotherapist control and basketball program on body composition and motor skills of obese children. 45 obese children aged 10 years were randomly included to the physiotherapy (n=15), basketball (n:15), and control group (n:15). The children were assessed before and after 12-week study duration. Body Mass Index (BMI), the percentage of body fat, and circumference values of the children were recorded. Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-Brief Form (BOTMP-BF) was used to determine motor skills of children.
The Youth and Sport Study (YSS) is a 20-22-year follow-up study of Danish teenagers born between 1964 and 1969. Baseline data originate from two different studies carried out in 1983 and 1985, and the follow-up study was carried out in 2005.
The sample comprised 31 female undergraduate students attending a private University in João Pessoa, northeastern Brazil. The inclusion criteria were: age between 19 and 35 years, heterosexual, active sex life, living in a stable relationship for at least 6 months no pregnancy or parturition in the last 6 months, clinically healthy and agreeing with the terms for participating in the study. All participants gave their informed consent to take part in the study.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of an exercise session with weights associated with glutamine dipeptide (GLD) supplementation on cognitive function of people living with HIV/ AIDS. The sample consisted of 10 HIV+ women, who used the Antiretroviral Therapy Highly Active. The participants were randomized in a double-blind procedure to receive seven days of supplementation GLD or placebo (PLA). At the end of this first period, the participants held a workout with weights with cognitive assessments before and immediately after the session. To evaluate oxidative stress markers blood samples were collected before and 1 hour and 2 hours after the session.Then the participants rested for 7 days for the initial stocks of glutamine return to baseline levels (washout). Following was realized the crossing of the groups, so those who had received the GLD in the first week spent extra for 7 days with PLA and vice versa, and then they repeated evaluations and exercise session. The exercise session consisted of seven resistance exercises involving different muscle groups, with three sets of 8-12 repetitions with an interval of 90 seconds between sets and 120 seconds between the exercises. Stroop test was used to cognitive assessments, which aims to assess selective attention and inhibitory control over the color of conflict and word, and the N-back test, responsible for evaluating the central executive component of working memory by stimuli visual. Oxidative stress markers (TBARS, FOX, GSH, GSSG, AOPP) were analyzed in plasma samples.
Project which objective is to test the effectiveness of a classroom-based physical activity intervention (MOVI-da10!) on improving, body composition, cardio-respiratory fitness and executive function.
Project which objective is to test the effectiveness of an extracurricular physical activity intervention based on high intensity interval training (MOVI-daFit!) on improving cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), cardiometabolic risk, executive function, and academic performance.
DESIGN: Controlled clinical trial with single randomization, unmasked, open and multicentric. CENTERS: University Hospital of A Coruña and University Hospital of Ferrol CONDITION TO STUDY: Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). INTERVENTION:monitored outhospital not inhospital supervised. MAIN OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of major adverse events (total mortality, new ACS, coronary revascularization, all-cause hospitalization) during the one-year period after hospitalization for ACS.
The Primary Goal is to conduct a 12 week pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Fitbit Flex, a popular, affordable, wearable physical activity tracking device, and the Fitbit mobile health (mHealth) app. The target population will be cancer survivors 18-39 years old recruited from the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. For the intervention group, peer influences will be engaged via a private, social network (e.g. a Facebook group) customized for survivors. Measurements will be completed (1) at baseline, prior to randomization, and (2) during the final week of the intervention period (follow-up measure). This pilot study will provide initial proof of concept and allow for further customization of the intervention for cancer survivors in anticipation of a future, larger proposal to study physical activity and related outcomes over a multi-year period. Besides conducting exploratory analyses of primary and secondary outcomes for this pilot RCT, we also specify feasibility criteria including: (1) recruiting 50 cancer survivors ages 18-39 years and between 1.0-5.0 years from the completion of active cancer therapy, (2) intervention participants wear the Fitbit Flex on the majority of all intervention days during the 12-week intervention period, and (3) ≥75% of all participants complete online questionnaire data collection at Time 1 and Time 2.
