Filter by: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?
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.
