Filter by:Exercise has a beneficial role in geriatric patients categorized as frail. Nevertheless, it is not known physical training pattern more beneficial for these patients. The reasons for heterogeneity and lack of consistency of the results described by published intervention programs may be the diversity of isolated - resistance, endurance or proprioceptive trainings - or a combination of them. There are no studies with a combined program of this three kinds of physical training. The objective of this study is to know if a multicomponent physical training program during 180 days in dwelling-community frail geriatric patients can improve scores on functional, activities of daily living, mood, cognitive and quality of life scales and producing changes in blood levels of biological and genetic markers.
To determine if exercise will affect the increase in p16 expression that is associated with both chemotherapy administration and advancing age.
This trial is a three-armed randomized controlled trial which will explore the utility of an implementation intention intervention on aerobic and resistance exercise in older (60+) prostate and breast cancer survivors and improving quality of life. It is expected that those in the experimental groups will report greater increases in their physical activity, resulting in greater improvements in their quality of life.
This study will be investigating whether a theory-based physical activity intervention can maintain/improve moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity measured via accelerometry of new parents over the eight months of having a child compared to a control group of new parents. Hypothesis: The theory-based condition will change salient underlying motives (theory of planned behaviour constructs) for physical activity. Health-related fitness and quality of life will also be higher for this condition in comparison to the control condition. (Note: improvements in both groups of mothers may occur due to recovery from pregnancy, but our hypotheses will still hold). All outcomes will remain significantly higher at eight months in the theory-based condition compared to the standard condition
The aim of this study is to investigate whether an incentive scheme is a feasible approach to increase walking/cycling to school.
Participants from the Fatigue and Lifestyle Physical Activity and SLE Study will be approached to enroll in a 6 week pilot intervention. This study will look at the barriers and facilitators to increasing physical activity, improving dietary/nutritional intake, and improving sleep.This study will offer support and information for people with SLE to increase their physical activity, improve their dietary/nutritional intake, and improve their sleep and will utilize a smartphone application to self-monitor changes in these behaviors.
1. Development of a method for parents of primary schoolchildren to teach parents parenting skills to obtain health gain in the family through videos and online feedback. 2. Effect- and procesevaluation of this methodology. 3. Development of an implementation guide together with VIGEZ as primary partner and in association with partner organisations on the field.
The overall objective of this research is to collect data for understanding whether messages in online environments impact fitness attitudes and behaviors. In particular, the study aims to experimentally examine what features of online social media - promotional messaging or peer networks - impact offline fitness measures (such fitness workshop enrollment and self-reported physical activity level). The study partners with an existing fitness program at a large northeastern university, which provides a 13-week fitness program for graduate and professional students at the university. The program begins with a university-run eligibility assessment of specific fitness measures for all participants, who win prizes for improvements in program participation and health behavior outcomes. The fitness program consists of semester-long series of workshops offered through the university's recreation department. The randomized trial constructs an online social media platform for the fitness program that provides a way to send either promotion health messages or messages about peer activities to the online community.
This study is to determine whether accelerometry can be used to measure physical activity occurring during routine clinical care in a diverse population of patients with medical or surgical critical illness.
This main purpose of this study is to examine the effects of an exercise intervention to counteract adverse side effects related to Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) in prostate cancer patients. Specifically, a supervised and home-based exercise program will be used to assess its impact on clinical and behavioral variables related to ADT in prostate cancer patients.
