NCT ID: NCT06196645 Not yet recruiting - Sedentary Lifestyle Clinical Trials

Development of a Planned Behavior Theory-Based Physical Activity Application for High School Adolescent Girls

Start date: February 10, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

WISE Project - Women's Involvement in Steady Exercise

Start date: August 5, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The general objective is to assess adherence to a HIIT-type exercise program, complemented with nutritional plans and other health-related advice, which will be administered through a mobile application in sedentary girls.

NCT ID: NCT05135234 Active, not recruiting - Sedentary Lifestyle Clinical Trials

Developing a Physiological Understanding of High Duration Activity

Start date: August 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

When muscles are not contracting, the local energy demand by muscle and use of specific fuels used to produce energy by oxidative metabolism are minimal. The time people spend sitting inactive (sedentary time) typically comprises more than half of the day. This sedentary behavior is associated with elevated risk of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, some cancers, and multiple conditions leading to poor aging. From a progressive series of experiments, the driving goal is to develop a physiological method for sustaining contractile activity via oxidative metabolism over more time than is possible by traditional exercise (hours, not minutes per day). Developing a physiological method suitable of prolonged muscular activity for ordinary people (who are often unfit) requires gaining fundamental insights about muscle biology and biomechanics. This also entails a careful appreciation of the ability to isolate specific muscles in the leg during controlled movements, such as the soleus muscle during isolated plantarflexion. This includes quantifying specific biological processes that are directly responsive to elevated skeletal muscle recruitment. The investigators will focus on movement that is safe and practical for ordinary people to do given their high amount of daily sitting time. This includes developing methods to optimally raise muscle contractile activity, in a way that is not limited by fatigue, and is feasible throughout as many minutes of the day as possible safely. This also requires development of methodologies to quantify specific muscular activity, rather than generalized body movement. There is a need to learn how much people can increase muscle metabolism by physical activity that is perceived to them as being light effort. It is important to learn if this impacts systemic metabolic processes under experimental conditions over a short term time span in order to avoid confounding influences of changes in body weight or other factors.

NCT ID: NCT05123989 Not yet recruiting - Physical Activity Clinical Trials

Evaluating the Impact of Personalized Move Goals on Physical Activity

Start date: February 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of personalized move goals in the Welltory mobile app on daily step count among adults from 30 to 65 years old. The study also aims to assess how personalized move goals impact workout quality and frequency.

NCT ID: NCT05032872 Completed - Sedentary Lifestyle Clinical Trials

Exergame Study for Family Caregivers

Start date: August 16, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this study is to examine Go&Grow as a social exergame intervention to increase physical activity and social support, to promote well-being in family caregivers, and to test social support and physical activity as mechanisms for the effects of the intervention.

NCT ID: NCT04950998 Completed - Clinical trials for Mild Cognitive Impairment

Smartphone App to Improve Physical Activity in Older Adults With MCI/Mild Dementia

Start date: December 5, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to develop and test a physical activity-tracking smartphone app designed to facilitate physical activity in older adults with mild cognitive impairments or mild dementia. The app targets provides tips, messages, and strategies to overcome common barriers older adults face to being physically active. Participants will include older adults with memory or thinking problems or those diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment or mild forms of dementia who are smartphone users age 65 years or older and who are not meeting nationally recommended levels of physical activity. In the clinical trial phase of this study, 15 participant-study partner dyads will be oriented to the app and use it for a two-month period. Dyads will keep a diary to document their experiences and participants' activity patterns will also be tracked at the beginning and end of the study. After the two-month app trial is complete, dyads will return for a follow-up interview to discuss their experiences and provide suggestions for app improvements. Findings from this stage of the overall study will be combined with previous study phases to derive specifications for an optimized app for older people with mild cognitive impairments or mild dementia.

NCT ID: NCT04868240 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Concurrent Training and Metabolic Profile, Lung Function, Quality of Life and Stress

Start date: January 10, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Physical inactivity and sedentary time are highly prevalent worldwide and are associated with many adverse health outcomes. Workers adults spend two-thirds of their workday sitting, so they are particularly at risk. Exercise is considered a preventive and treatment tool for diseases, however, the effects of Concurrent Training (that is, aerobic plus resistance training) are not well established in healthy adults. This research project aims to analyze the effects of a concurrent training program on metabolic profile, lung function, stress and quality of life, as well as body composition and physical fitness in sedentary adults. This is a single-blinded two-arm RCT with parallel groups. After completion of baseline assessments, eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to participate in concurrent training group or control group. Repeat assessments will be taken immediately post 8 weeks and post 16 weeks of intervention.

NCT ID: NCT04759872 Terminated - Insulin Resistance Clinical Trials

Insulin and Muscle Fat Metabolism

Start date: February 22, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Our objective in this study is to identify the extent to which insulin drives the accumulation of lipids in skeletal muscle of humans. We will test the hypothesis that 4-hours of mild hyperinsulinemia will result in significant muscle lipid accumulation and that such effects will be similar in lean and overweight/obese humans.

Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to examine whether substituting sitting with standing and light-intensity activity in free-living conditions can reduce glycaemia in overweight/obese South Asian adults.
