Filter by:The overarching goal for this project is to develop a service-learning program that provides students excellent hands on training and patients with an excellent service that advances their health and well-being. The aim of this study is to test the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of an 8 week intervention on physical behaviors, cognitive function, and health outcomes compared to a control condition among sedentary, overweight and obese adults.
The objectives of this study are to 1) evaluate whether Choose to Move (CTM) improves health outcomes in older adults who participate and 2) assess whether CTM is delivered as planned and what factors support or inhibit delivery at scale. CTM is a 6 month, choice-based program for low active older adults being scaled-up across British Columbia, Canada. The goals of CTM are to enhance physical activity, mobility and social connectedness in older adults living in British Columbia, Canada.
Schools are critical settings to foster children's health. The purpose of this two-year cluster-randomized trial is to enhance both the after-school and recess settings to provide children with knowledge and skills to facilitate active and inclusive play. The primary aim of the project is to assess the impact of a playground curriculum intervention on children's physical, social, emotional, and behavioral health. The secondary aim of the project to understand the appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, and sustainability of implementing a playground curriculum in after-school and recess settings.
The intervention aims to increase physical activity, an important health behavior, in a high-risk sample (i.e., Black and Hispanic/Latino mothers). The study builds on the investigators' previous work by adapting an evidence-based theory guided physical activity intervention to be implemented in a community setting mothers regularly spend time for their children's extracurricular activities, circumventing barriers commonly cited by racial/ethnic minority mothers (e.g., other responsibilities, time barriers, transportation, and childcare). The investigators will partner with a local youth sports organization to adapt and deliver a physical activity intervention to mothers during practice. They aim to convene a community advisory board of coaches and parents to enhance participant acceptability and work through any feasibility issues with implementation. The investigators will then conduct an open pilot trial of the physical activity intervention administered to mothers during their children's sports practices. They will assess feasibility, acceptability, and examine the effects of the intervention on mothers' physical activity. The investigators hypothesize that mothers in the intervention will increase their physical activity.
The goal of this project is to develop a scalable physical activity intervention tailored to rural men. We will recruit participants nationwide from ResearchMatch data base, emails, and social media posts. Participants will have access to health education materials hosted on Healthie, a health coaching software platform, and provided an activity monitor (e.g., Fitbit) to support behavior change. The health education materials provide participants with education, motivation, and support for making health behavior change (e.g., increasing physical activity levels). We will measure physical activity behaviors, psychosocial, and several health outcomes
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a strength training-based intervention on exercise adherence among low active (defined as engaging in physical activity 90 minutes or less per week), pre-menopausal women ages 40-50, along with the effect on weight and various psychosocial measures. Participants will be randomly assigned to a strength training-based intervention or a wait-list control each lasting three months (participants in the no contact, wait-list control condition will have the option of receiving the strength training-based intervention following the three months).
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of regular aerobic exercise program on tanatophobia and sleep quality in elderly individuals, and to evaluate the relationship between sleep disorder and fear of death.
This research project aims to determine whether post exercise hot water immersion can improve vascular and cardiometabolic health to a greater extent than post exercise thermoneutral water immersion in healthy middle-aged adults. The study will take place over an 8 week period where participants will do a combination of aerobic exercise and water immersion 3 times per week. The study will be a randomised controlled trial comparing 8-weeks of post exercise hot water immersion (EX+HWI) to post exercise thermoneutral water immersion (EX+TNWI).
Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) allows knowing the subject's feelings in terms of distress and well-being, as well as her perception of her current and future health. Objective: Evaluate the associations between health-related quality of life, physical state, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet in a cohort of Spanish children and adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in a cohort of 305 (47.2% women) children and adolescents aged between 8 and 16 years, in the Primary and Secondary Schools of the province of Ávila (Spain). For the analysis of the different variables, the subjects were classified according to their quality of life in three groups from highest to lowest (Group 1 > Group 2 > Group 3).
The purpose of this study is to test the OA Clinic-Community CARE Model (OA CARE) which will address all recommended components of knee/hip (osteoarthritis) OA care, include interventions for both patients and primary care providers (PCPs), and utilize a tailored approach that efficiently matches treatments with patients' needs. The patient component of OA CARE will include evidence-based weight management and exercise programs for all participants (delivered through the YMCA), as well as tailored referrals to physical therapy, additional weight management or nutrition services, sleep-related services and psychological services. The PCP component of OA CARE will include a video-based summary of current OA treatment guidelines (with emphasis on practical application), collaboration on patients' referrals to specific services described above, and progress reports on enrolled patients.
