The clinical trial aims to develop and pilot test a multilevel physical activity (PA) intervention called the Hoosier Sport program. The study follows a participatory co-design protocol involving youth, parents, and community leaders to provide direct input into the intervention's design. The ultimate goal is to contribute to health equity in the community by promoting sustainable physical activity. Hoosier Sport involves delivering enhanced physical education classes, teaching about nutrition and exercise, as well as developing leadership skills in middle school rural students.The intervention will last for 8-weeks with PE classes occur twice a week. Additionally, Hoosier Sport will create more opportunities for students to be active at school (e.g., in home room) through providing virtual classes and other activities.
The goal of this randomised cross-over trial is to learn about the interaction between sedentary behaviour throughout the day and the metabolic effect of an exercise bout on that same day in office workers with an increased risk for chronic disease. The main question this study aims to answer is if the lipid-lowering effects of an exercise bout can be more pronounced by implementing alternations between a seated and a standing working position throughout the day. Participants will be asked to: - Complete three intervention periods for a duration of 2 days at their workplace, - Attend a supervised training session (60min) at the research facility at the end of each intervention period, - Attend three assessment days at the research facility where postprandial metabolism will be evaluated after a standardised meal test.
Choose to Move (CTM) is a 3-month, choice-based health-promoting program for low active older adults being scaled-up across British Columbia (BC), Canada. In Phase 5, the goal of CTM is to enhance physical activity, mobility and social connectedness in three target populations: South Asian older adults, older men, and older adults living in Northern BC. To do so, the investigators will support community-based seniors' services (CBSS) organizations through a readiness-building process so they can adapt CTM and deliver the program to these populations. This study has two main research questions: 1. How are adapted CTM programs delivered ('implementation outcomes') and what factors influence delivery ('implementation determinants')? 2. What is the impact of the adapted CTM programs on health outcomes of older adults?
Purpose: To determine the effects of three Short Moderate Intensity Continuous Training (SMICT) exercise programs with different durations, on functional capacity, resting heart rate (RHR) and physical activity enjoyment in sedentary women. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was performed. 45 sedentary women were randomly allocated to either a: i) 8-minutes short exercise group; ii) 10-minutes short exercise group; and iii) 15-minutes short exercise group. All three groups received a short exercise training program at moderate intensity for 3 sessions/week, over 3 weeks. Before and after the interventions, functional capacity was evaluated through the 6-minute walking test, and RHR with a pulse oximeter. Physical activity enjoyment was measured with the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale after the intervention.
Patients with lung cancer have poor physical activity and increased sedentary behavior, with the presence of high levels of fatigue. A randomized controlled trial will be carried out to compare usual care versus a personalized exercise program in the community, in order to explore the changes on physical activity and sedentary behavior and its impact on cancer-related fatigue.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of #BabyLetsMove - a 24-week mobile Health and peer health coaching intervention paired with the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) - to increase physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior in pregnant, Black teens in the Mississippi Delta. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does #BabyLetsMove increase objective moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and decrease sedentary behavior from ≤16 to 26- and 36-gestational weeks compared to usual WIC care alone? - Does # BabyLetsMove decrease the rate of gestational weight gain and mean arterial pressure from ≤16 to 26- and 36-gestational weeks compared to usual WIC care alone? - Is #BabyLetsMove a feasible and acceptable intervention according to the RE-AIM framework? - Using the Practical, Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, what are the barriers to organizational uptake and how can strategies be improved for future testing? Participants will be given three empirically supported behavior goals including (1) watching ≤2 hours of TV or other screen time per day, and (2) walking ≥10,000 steps per day - or - (3) engaging in ≥20 minutes of organized exercise per day. Researchers will compare the #BabyLetsMove groups to the WIC care only groups to see if the #BabyLetsMove intervention improves traditional WIC care for bettering health outcomes ( amongst pregnant, Black teens in the Mississippi Delta.
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of a physical activity intervention plan developed based on the theory of planned behavior on the physical activity levels of adolescent girls, their sedentary time and their knowledge about physical activity. Within the scope of this research, answers to the following research questions will be sought; 1. Is there a difference in physical activity level between participants in the physical activity intervention plan groups and the control group? 2. Is there a difference in terms of daily sedentary time between participants in the physical activity intervention plan groups and the control group? 3. Is there a difference in beliefs about physical activity between participants in the physical activity intervention plan groups and the control group? In this context, researchers will compare 3 groups within the scope of the data provided by two preliminary studies conducted previously. These groups; (1) intervention group based on the theory of planned behavior, (2) intervention group based on the theory of planned behavior with family participation, (3) control group.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of a TCM-based anti-sedentariness program on workplace sitting time, perceived stress, and cortisol in office workers.The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)-based anti-sedentariness program effectively reduce workplace sitting time, perceived stress and cortisol levels among office workers? 2. Whether such anti-sedentary effect works through stress management and enhances when holistic thinking is endorsed. Participants will engage in a 4 week TCM-based program intervention including 2 weeks of health education and promotion activities (understanding sedentary behaviors, Baduanjin, acupressure, dantian breathing, and mindfulness) and 2 weeks of supported self-practice (daily reminders and tips, regular feedback on sitting time, and individual consultation). Researchers will compare a group receiving a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)-based intervention with a wait-list control group to determine the effectiveness of the intervention in reducing sitting time and enhancing physical and psychological health.
In 2019, the World Health Organization established new guidelines for physical activity, sedentary screen time, and sleep for children under 5 years old. Unfortunately, only a few (6%) of preschoolers in Flanders, Belgium, adhere to these guidelines. The aim of this study is to test a health program developed to optimize 24-hour behaviors in preschoolers and encourage more children to follow the guidelines. The program was created using the Intervention Mapping Protocol in collaboration with parents. It consists of seven sessions for parents and preschoolers, providing strategies to encourage compliance with the guidelines. The program's effectiveness will be evaluated through a randomized controlled trial, with the intervention group attending the sessions and the control group receiving the intervention materials at the end of the study.
