Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a 3-month period of quercetin supplementation (500 mg of Quercetin Phytosome®) is useful in the treatment of chronic fatigue, as assessed by the Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS-40). Secondary end points are sleep assessment through Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and muscle performance assessment through the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and body composition assessment using DXA.
Occupational competence indicates participating in a variety of occupations to meet the standards expected of the individuals' valued roles to sustain a pattern of occupational attitudes that is significant and satisfying. Physical performance declines with age. This causes problems with balance and falling. Balance and falling losses can also affect occupation. Our study was conducted to examine the relationship between physical performance and occupational balance in elderly individuals. According to the power analysis, it is planned to include the individual in the study. Individuals will only be evaluated and the relationship between scale results will be analyzed statistically.
Previous research has found improvements in performance (VO2max) and clinical (insulin resistance) with cycling REHIIT. In some populations (e.g. obese, arthritic) aquatic exercise is a safer, more enjoyable option. However, to date, no study has yet examined whether aquatic REHIIT confers the same benefits as land-based REHIIT. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine whether there are significant differences in clinical and performance outcomes between a land-based and comparable aquatics based Reduced Exertion High Intensity Interval Training (REHIIT) protocol.
Protein ingestion timing is an important component for muscle accretion. We hypothesized that protein ingestion timing could affect muscular adaptations and performance in resistance-trained men.
Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of kinesio taping and sham taping in addition to self-stretching exercise on hyperkyphosis angle, neck pain and quality of life in elderly individuals with hyperkyphosis. Method: 60 elderly individuals with hyperkyphosis aged 60-85 years will be included in the study. Subjects will be divided inti three groups. Kinesio taping, sham taping and self-stretching exercise. The kinesio taping group will be given kinesio taping in addition to self stretching exercises. The second sham taping group will be given sham kinesio taping in addition to self stretching exercises. The third self-stretching group will be given a program consisting of stretching exercises for pectoral, erector spinae, latismus dorsi, multifidus, rhomboid and trapezius muscles. Individuals will be asked to do these exercises on their own for 15-20 minutes at home or in the office every day for four weeks. Before and after the study, the subjects will be test for the kyphosis angle will be evaluated with a flexible ruler and Scoliosis Research Society Outcome questionnaire (SRS22) will be used to evaluate spinal curvatures.The Neck Disability Questionnaire will be used to evaluate neck pain. The occiput-neck distance and mini mental test will be used in this srudy.
The COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS; NCT02422745) is a randomized clinical trial of cocoa extract supplement (containing a total of 500 mg/d flavanols, including 80 mg. (-)-epicatechins), and a standard multivitamin supplement to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer among men aged 60 years and older and women aged 65 years and older. This ancillary study is being conducted among participants in COSMOS and will examine whether the cocoa extract supplement or the multivitamin supplement improve musculoskeletal health and prevent falls and declining physical performance in the increasing number of older adults in the U.S. with potential for clinical and public health benefits.
Aim: The aim of the study; during the non-race season, blood flow-restricted exercises applied in addition to routine training programs to determine the effects on physical fitness parameters and sportive motivation of male canoe athletes aged 18 and over and to compare the results between the groups. Method: Male athletes aged 18 and over who are licensed and actively engaged in canoeing in Turkey will be included in the study. Subjects will be divided into two groups , training and control. The training group will be given blood flow restricted exercise for 8 weeks and resistance training equivalent to 30% of 1 maximum repetition. In the control group, 30% of 1 MT of resistance training will be applied for 8 weeks without blood flow restriction. Before and after, athletes will be evaluated with sport-specific performance tests, muscle thickness measurement with ultrasound, isokinetic measurement of hamstring and quadriceps muscles at a speed of 60°/sec and 300°/sec. In addition, the muscles of the athletes will be evaluated with dynamic muscular measurements.
There is no study investigating different volumes, that is various sets of the configuration of tissue flossing on neuromuscular function. Previously, investigators found that 3 sets of TF impaired neuromuscular function assessed with TMG. Therefore, the aim is to compare the effects of one and two sets of TS on countermovement jump (CMJ) performance and muscle contractile properties.
Forty-two adolescent female volleyball athletes (16.0±1.4 years) were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 was the training group and, in addition to the routine volleyball training programmes, underwent an 8-week (3 days/week) progressive core stability training programme. Group 2 was the control group and only did routine volleyball training, with no core stability training. Main outcome measures: Shoulder IR and ER strength, medicine ball throw (MBT), modified push up (MPU) and closed kinetic chain (CKC) upper extremity stability tests were used to evaluate physical performance.
Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of Reformer Pilates exercises in overweight and obese woman. Method: 47 sedentary overweight and obese women aged 30-60 years will be included in the study. Subjects will be divided into two groups: Reformer Pilates and control. The exercise group will be given Reformer Pilates training session 3 times a week over an 8-weeks period. Before and after the study, the subjects will be test for body composition with the bioelectrical impedance and for upper limb strength with the hand grip dynamometer. Moreover, the strength of the back muscle will be measure with the back dynamometer and the strength of the abdominal muscle with the sit-up test. Furthermore, the endurance of trunk, abdominal and back muscles will be measure with the McGill endurance tests. The endurance of the lower limb will be measure with the 30 second sit and stand test, and the balance with the Fullerton Advanced Balance Scale. Finally, the sleep quality will be measure with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the anxiety with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.
