Filter by:Older people in long-term care (LTC) are often less physically active than their community-dwelling peers. Low physical activity level is associated with more symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as with lower physical performance. This weakens coping with daily activities and increases the care costs. Earlier research have found that playing digital games that require physical activity affects positively functioning of older people. Playing can increase physical activity, improve balance and walking speed, lift the mood and create opportunities for social interaction. The effects of digital gaming, especially on objectively measured physical activity and social functioning, are still unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate effectiveness of digital gaming intervention with Yetitablet to physical, psychological and social functioning and activity of older people in long-term care environment. This study investigates the effectiveness of the Yetitablet in improving the functioning of older people. Yetitablet is an assistive technology device developed for special groups. Yetitablet is a large interactive touchscreen tablet with 55" screen and with Android operating system and it includes numerous applications. Yetitablet has mobile stand on wheels, which allows the screen to be raised and lowered, as well as tilted as needed, all the way to a desk position. Applications can be downloaded to the device from the Google Play Store, and it also has its own game applications, such as darts, table hockey and memory game. These games can be played individually or in group. There is no previous scientific research on the effectiveness of the Yetitablet on the functioning and activity of older people in long-term care settings.
Physical inactivity is the fourth most important risk factor for mortality worldwide and it contributes to weight gain and obesity. On the contrary, it is established that regular physical activity is a prevention and managerial factor of these non-communicable diseases. Therefore, the goal of this study is to design and evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week physical exercise and lifestyle improvement training program carried out in a family environment, through a web platform, and with "online" supervision. This platform will improve the physical conditioning and adherence to PE in a "family environment", and to promote good development of the child through physical activities and exercises that can be done as a family at home and/or outside.
The knowledge gap on sedentary behavior and sedentary breaks includes whether detrimental effects of sedentary behavior can be fully attenuated by 1.) sedentary breaks 2.) physical activity or 3.) both combined. Specifically, when breaking sedentary time which physical activity pattern- and intensity modifies the negative effects of sedentary behavior on glucose- and lipid metabolism? This lack of quantitative evidence calls for prospective experimental studies investigating the physiological and biological impacts of sedentary behavior, as well as the effectiveness of different strategies to reduce sedentary time. Thus, quantifying effects of the intensity, frequency, volume of sedentary breaks and/or physical activity on predefined outcomes is of importance. Aims: Our primary aims are to investigate the effects of breaking up sedentary time on glucose- and lipid metabolism and thus examine whether physical activity intensity breaks during sedentary breaks matter. Specifically, the aims of the PhD-project are to provide knowledge on the following questions: • How does high- or low physical activity intensity sedentary breaks acutely influence glucose- and lipid metabolism under iso-caloric conditions?
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of different exercise programs as 'Deep Water Running' and 'Treadmill Running' in sedentary young adults.
The objective of the project is to analyze the clinical effectiveness of a gamifield mHealth application (iGAME) and developed in the context of lifestyle modification, but with the approach of the Behaviour Change Technique, through a randomized clinical trial that affects secondary prevention in three clinical subtypes of noncommunicable diseases, where lifestyle modification is the center of its best practice.
