Filter by:In mobility, the potential for mobility and social inclusion, according to individual desires, represents the primary component of well-being and should be a priority for caregivers of older adults and older adults. As a result of our literature researches, it was found that there was no Turkish scale evaluating the living area. For this reason, this study was planned in order to translate the Turkish Life-Space Assessment [LSA] into Turkish, to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version and to perform its cultural adaptation. Our study is expected to improve the quality of health assessment in our country, to contribute to objective evaluation methods, and to provide benefits such as assisting physicians, physiotherapists and other related health care team during the evaluation process.
The proposed study is intended to examine the connection between two types of inhibition - cognitive and motor and the connection between motor inhibitory functions and a single bout of physical exercise in the context of age and physical fitness.
Postural stability can be affected by multiple factors. Such as; body mass, inactivity, age and etc. This study was planned with the aim of investigating the effects of Yoga training on postural stability of males and females. Yoga is a treatment model for body flexibility, body awareness, and strength.
Goal of this study is to evaluate management with high intensity re-entrainment during the postoperative hospital phase. This type of early treatment with as little intervention time has so far never been done. The investigators therefore want to carry out this feasibility study in order to collect the data needed to calculate the number of randomized control trial. Investigators will also evaluate the feasibility of this project concerning recruitment, intervention in the hospital phase and data collection once the return home. The evaluation of the activity will be done one month after the return to home by means of a actigraphy of one week.
This study aims to increase weekly minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and improve sleep quality in a sample of mid-life adults between ages 50 and 64 years.
The main aim of the project in this application is two-fold. First we will explore and describe facilitators and barriers for being physically active and perform physical training for people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD (Step 1). Secondly, with user involvement, we will develop and evaluate a novel e-health program with a training module and an evidence-based educational component, the rEACH-COPD e-health program with the aim to increase the understanding and management of the disease and to facilitate every-day living with COPD (Step 2-3). According to the guidelines of the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare (SoS), physiotherapy led exercise is an important part of rehabilitation for people with COPD. The e-health training program will follow evidence-based guidelines, i.e. recommendations from SoS and the American College of Sport Medicine (ACSMS). Offering individualized and evidence-based training will increase adherence to training. With regular physical activity and exercise there is a potential to improve health-related quality of life, physical capacity, activity and participation in every day life in people with COPD. By an improved health, physical function and quality of life a decreased use of health care is expected. Thus, this program may, in the long term, contribute to reduced costs for the society.
Early pulmonary rehabilitation is recommended after an episode of severe exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, its implementation is challenging particularly as regard exercise training. Several studies showed that transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) could improve dyspnea and pulmonary function. The aim of this study is to assess the acute effect of TENS on exercise tolerance in post-exacerbation COPD patients
The ENCOURAGE App will use mobile health technology to support employees to reduce their sedentary time and become more physically active. The mobile app has been developed using time management techniques (i.e. Pomodoro technique) as a strategy to provide prompts to encourage users to engage in an activity and break up bouts of prolonged sitting.
This study examines whether high intensity interval training (HIIT) or moderate, continuous endurance exercise training (MCEET) results in greater program adherence when matched for session time. Body composition and endurance capacity will also be measured to identify any significant changes among two exercise groups. It is hypothesized that HIIT will result in greater program adherence as well as greater improvements in body composition and endurance capacity. Both exercise groups will complete 20 minutes sessions (which include exercise) three times per week for five week. The first week will be supervised by study investigators while the remainder of the study will be unsupervised in order to examine how free-living individuals adhere to two exercise programs. There will be no attempt to restrict food intake during the exercise intervention. Body composition will be measured by densitometry [body mass/body volume] using a BodPod. Endurance capacity will be assessed using a mile run. Two validated questionnaires [Physical activity enjoyment scale and Exercise adherence ratings scale] as well as heart rate data (recorded before, during and after each training sessions) will be used to confirm exercise adherence. These data may help us determine the optimal type of exercise program to maintain healthy body composition.
APACCHE (Adapted Physical Activity and Cardiac Coherence in HEmatologic patients) study investigates effects of heart rate variability biofeedback training, combined with classical adapted physical activity, on health-related quality of life in patients previously treated for hematologic malignancies. It is a prospective, randomized clinical trial from University Hospital of Reunion Island. The main objective is evaluated with QLQ-C30 survey score differences.
