Filter by:The aim of this study is to understand the effect of adapted functional training on the physical fitness, functionality and quality of life of individuals with SCI after social distancing due to COVID-19. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Are the participants of the functional training program adapted for people with spinal cord injury show better results in functional capacity in post-test evaluations training period, when compared to your results in the functional training pré-period? - Is adapted functional training capable of improving cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength and body composition? - Can the perception of quality of life be influenced by functional training? Participants will be evaluated through questionnaires and field tests, such as: - Functional Capacity (battery of motor tests related to functional independence and Motor Assessment Scale), - Physical fitness (handgrip test; medicine ball throw; Illinois agility and 12-minute displacement) and Quality of Life (WHOQOL-DIS).
A randomized controlled trial that uses a Stage-matched intervention based on the Transtheoretical Model of Change to enhance engaging in regular physical exercise among high school female students.
Objective. In this study, the investigators aimed to investigate the efficacy of combined a single platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and physical exercise (leg swing and quadriceps strengthening exercise) versus PRP and hyaluronic acid (HA) combination therapy. Methods. One hundred and six patients with grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) according to the Kellgren-Lawrence classification were randomly divided into intra-articular injection of PRP combined with leg swing and quadriceps strengthening exercise (group A) and intra-articular combination injections of PRP and HA (group B). Patients in group A received twice intra-articular injection of PRP (2 ml, 2 weeks apart) and regular leg swing and quadriceps strengthening exercise for 3 months. Patients in group B received twice intra-articular combination injections of PRP (2 ml) and HA (2 ml) every 2 weeks. The primary outcome measures were Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) score. The second outcomes included single leg stance test (SLS) and functional activity by 2 minutes walking test (2MWT) and time up and go test (TUGT). All outcomes were evaluated at baseline and after 1,3,6, and 12 months.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Pilates exercise and Whatsapp text message-based support program on PMS symptoms experienced by university female students.
This RCT study aims to compare effectiveness physical exercise and melatonin supplement on treating sleep disturbance in children with ASD. A four-arm randomized controlled trial with equal allocation ratio to the three intervention groups (i.e., jogging; melatonin supplement, combine jogging and melatonin supplement) and one placebo-control group will be conducted . Actigraph device and sleep log will be used for sleep assessment. 6-sulfoxymelatonin from 24-h and first morning urinary samples. The investigators will monitor the changes of four sleep parameters (sleep onset latency, sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset and total sleep duration) and the 24-h and first morning melatonin level throughout the whole study.
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of three months' endurance training and three months' endurance-strength training on selected psychological aspects in women with abdominal obesity.
This study is aimed to explore the effect of physical exercise and nutrition supplement on improving frailty, depressive symptoms, and quality of life in community-dwelling older population.
Controlled, randomized, single-center, double-blind clinical trial, with two parallel branches depending on the product consumed, to measure the efficacy of a supplement extracted from spinach on muscle strength in subjects over 50 years of age.
The intervention will be a physical exercise program for colorectal cancer patients during the adjuvant chemotherapy. The exercise program aims on reducing the side effects of the treatment and improving patients' quality of life. In addition, the investigators try to improve endurance and resistance training level, in order to achieve greater physical functionality, survival and general well-being. For this, the investigators will carry out an exercise program based mainly on muscular strength and cardiorespiratory condition. It will last 6 months, with a frequency of 3 days per week, including sessions of 60 minutes. Sessions will consist of three parts: warm-up, main part (endurance and resistance training), and cool down. An individualized and supervised progression of training will take place. The intensity levels will always be adjusted to the initial levels of the participants, always considering their preferences and comfort. Participants' preferences and exercise history will be considered through an initial interview. Motivational strategies based on self-determination theory will be applied, since it is one of the most used theories in the field of physical exercise. This theory proposes that all people need to feel competent, autonomous and socially related. If these three needs are satisfied, participants will develop more positive (autonomous) forms of motivation, which are related to better consequences such as vitality, enjoyment, quality of life and adherence to physical activity. In addition, motivational strategies will be applied for families and healthcare professionals. Before starting the program and at the end of it, each eligible patient will be evaluated through: - Physical activity: strength test of lower and upper limbs, agility test, stress test for cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity levels, physical condition and body composition. - Psychological factors: autonomy support, basic psychological need satisfaction, motivation, quality of life, perceived barriers, depression, anxiety, hope, quality of life. - Clinical parameters: survival rate, side effects, biological factors, treatment delays and planned treatment completion.
Controlled clinical trial, randomized by strata (sex and period of the study), with 6 parallel branches to the study depending on the type of product consumed and the type of physical exercise program performed, double-blind masked for the consumption of the product and single-center.
