Filter by:The overall aim of this study is to investigate how work with physical demands affects the physical capacity, work ability, labor market affiliation, pain and self-reported health in the oldest group of workers. Following research questions are to be answered: 1. How high physical work demands affects muscle strength in 55-70-year-old workers and how obesity in combination with high physical work exposure influences muscle strength, work ability, cardiac function, and self-reported health? 2. Which parameters are important for work ability and how does the exposure of high physical workload affect the work ability over time in 55-70-year-old workers? 3. By exploring the underlying mechanism of pain among 55+ year old workers, how is pain associated with work ability, BMI and physical capacity?
A study to assess the feasibility of a 12-week exercise intervention aiming at improving the physical capacity and health of wind technicians. it was hypothesized that the intervention would be well-accepted by workers and show high compliance and clinically relevant increases in physical capacities among wind technicians.
Lifestyle intervention and physical capacity in patients with morbid Obesity (LEICO)
The purpose of the present study was to assess the influence of low vs moderate glycemic index of a 3-week diet on aerobic capacity, endurance performance and body mass and composition in endurance-trained athletes in a randomized, controlled crossover trial.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a 1 year worksite based life-style intervention can reduce body weight and increase physical capacity and subsequently reduce musculoskeletal disorders and increase workability in overweight health care workers.
Acidosis (accumulation of acid in the body) may be an underrecognized problem in patients after renal transplantation. It may have consequences on physical performance due to negative effects on bone and muscle metabolism. Therefore, the purpose of this study is 1. to determine the status of physical capacity and bone structure in renal transplant patients with metabolic acidosis 2. to study the effect of substituting base equivalents (citrate) on acid/base status of renal transplant patients with acidosis 3. to compare the status of physical capacity and bone structure in renal transplant patients with metabolic acidosis before and after substitution with citrate
