Filter by:In this randomized controlled trial, study staff will randomize 130 Hispanic/Latino adults without dementia and over age 55 from Southern California to either the culturally adapted De Pie physical activity intervention or an active comparison program focusing on general brain health topics. The purpose of this study is to determine if 12 weeks of the culturally adapted and fully remote De Pie y a Movernos intervention improves self-efficacy, habit strength, social support, and enjoyment for physical activity (PA), thus promoting adherence to moderate-intensity physical activity (MIPA) guidelines (150 minutes/week).
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?
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.
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact and cost effectiveness of a workplace-based intervention aimed at reducing prolonged occupational sitting among office-based workers. The study will be conducted in three phases. Phase I: is an Integrative review on economic evaluations of workplace-based interventions for reducing occupational sitting time. Phase II: is a secondary analysis of register data within the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (NFBC-1966). This is aimed at evaluating the association between prolonged sitting time with societal and/or organization economic perspective across different occupational categories at midlife. Phase III will be a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) of an office-based intervention designed to reduce prolonged occupational sitting time. The sample for the RCT will be 140 office-based workers - 70 participants will be enrolled in the control group whilst 70 participants will be enrolled within the intervention group. The study will be conducted from 2021 to 2025. An article-based dissertation will be completed at the end of the study, this will be mainly based on four articles that will be published in international peer reviewed journals.
Given the importance of reducing mortality-morbidity, more effective Physical Activity (PA) interventions are important, and the recently observed stabilizations of PI levels suggest that novel methods must be explored (Ozemek et al., 2019). This study aims to provide a select sedentary subpopulation with a customized intervention hypothesized to increase their PA adoption. Novel recruiting methods are used to identify a target subpopulation (based on multiple characteristics) that can be contacted in multiple sections of North America. We will intervene online and rigorously test the theoretical formulations that identify the subpopulation and the customized intervention.
Emerging research suggests that physical activity may improve health-related quality of life (HrQoL) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and positively influence physical symptoms, fatigue, stress and anxiety. However, little is known about detailed movement patterns and their specific health effects in IBD patients or about patients' wishes, motivation and preferences for physical activity in their everyday lives. Based on exisiting evidence, the investigators' hypothesis is that an individually tailored, behavioural intervention focusing on reducing sedentary behaviour and increasing daily physical activity is feasible and effective in patients with IBD. Therefore, the overall aim of this randomized feasibility study is to determine the feasibility of the behavioural intervention, including the testing of recruitment procedures, intervention adherence, retention and outcome assessments. Intervention participants will undergo: 1. A group session with information about IBD and the effects and recommendations of physical activity and exercise 2. Four motivational interviews with a project nurse, including goal-setting and action plans 3. An optional part, where each participant will have the possibility of choosing between: - An one-hour individual session with a physiotherapist - Being teamed up with 1-2 'exercise buddies' (other intervention participants) and/or - Access to four short 2-3 minutes videos/'reels' of a physiotherapist explaining and demonstrating beneficial physical exercises Results from the present feasibility study will determine if and how to proceed with a large-scale randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of the intervention.
Physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) programmes for older people in the community and long-term care facilities traditionally focus on achieving functional and health improvements. These approaches face frequent challenges in reaching older people with more social disadvantages and in achieving and maintaining attendance. The aim is to evaluate the acceptability, implementation process and potential impact of a co-created JOIN4JOY PA programme focused on enjoyment and social inclusion for 65+-year-old community-dwelling adults as well as for 65+-year-olds nursing-home residents who live in nursing homes.
