Filter by:Stroke survivors demonstrate high levels of sedentary behavior, placing them at risk for exacerbation of chronic health conditions. This may lead to recurrent stroke. Subtle cognitive impairments are common after stroke and can lead to difficulty self-monitoring and problem solving to overcome barriers to physical activity. Investigators developed the Activating Behavior for Lasting Engagement (ABLE) intervention to promote activity scheduling, self-monitoring, and problem solving activity over the full day. This study examines the effects of the ABLE intervention on sedentary behavior after stroke.
The purpose of this project is to conduct a randomized, controlled trial (RCT) to determine if choice of antihypertensive medication influences changes in functional status and other cardiovascular risk factors among older persons with hypertension when combined with physical exercise.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies how well circuit, interval-based aerobic and resistance exercise works in targeting metabolic dysregulation in stage I-III breast or prostate cancer survivors. Circuit, interval-based aerobic and resistance exercise may help to improve cardiovascular fitness, weight loss, healthy lifestyle behaviors, and muscle strength in breast or prostate cancer survivors.
The aim of AS:Sk is to improve physical activity levels and health-related outcomes of children from the Skelmersdale area of West Lancashire through a school-based physical activity multi-component intervention.
The purpose of this study is to: 1. Evaluate the relative efficacy of a treadmill desk intervention on light physical activity and sitting behaviors at work over four weeks; 2. Evaluate the relative efficacy of a treadmill desk intervention on the cardiovascular risk profiles (blood pressure, body weight, body fat percentage) over a four-week period.
Implementation of a previously shown (cost-)effective physical therapeutic treatment strategy for community-dwelling older adults.
The goal of this research is to develop and test a technology-supported intervention to reduce sedentary behavior before and after cancer surgery. Surgical oncology patients are at elevated risk for postoperative complications and readmissions. Sedentary behavior increases markedly after surgery and hospitalization, and reducing sedentary behavior around the time of cancer surgery could reduce risk while also empowering cancer patients to take a more active role in their recovery.
Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of death in the world and in Brazil. In 2001, 12.45 million deaths on the globe (21% of the total) were caused by some CVD. The composition of modern man's diet has changed drastically with the industrialization of food, resulting in the transition from a diet rich in fibers and complex carbohydrates to one with a high content of sugars and fats. Since the current dietary pattern is characterized by the consumption of three or more meals a day, containing a quantity of fat in the range of 20 to 70 g, individuals spend a large part of the day in the postprandial state, with continuous fluctuation of lipemia Over 18 hours. Food intake (postprandial state) is the dynamic, unstable response of the body that refers to rapid hormonal and lipoprotein remodeling. It is well established in the literature that high-fat meals (lipid overload) cause an increase in plasma triglycerides. Hypertriglyceridemia and / or elevated triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (LRT) (chylomicrons, VLDL and their remnants) in the postprandial state induces endothelial dysfunction via increased oxidative stress and is an independent risk factor for CVDs. Therefore, Postprandial Lipemia (PPL) is counted as an early marker of atherosclerotic process, metabolic abnormalities and endothelial dysfunction. High-carbohydrate (CHO) diets may promote increased LDL-c, TG, VLDL and HDL-c reduction, as well as PPL, generating a lipid profile associated with an increased risk of CVDs. This effect appears to be more pronounced with the inclusion of simple carbohydrates (mono and disaccharides), although it also occurs with diets rich in complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides). High fructose diets (HFDs) are a known model of induction of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and DM2 in primates and humans. The chronic effect of fructose consumption has been well studied in the last decades due to its connection with obesity, resistance to Insulin, accumulation of visceral fat and dyslipidemia. As the consumption of fructose is progressively increasing in society and its chronic exposure can generate a phenotypic effect of dyslipidemia and, consequently, the increased risk of CVDs, prevention and treatment strategies should be seen as an important public health issue . Thus, the objective of this study is to understand the effects of exercise on fat metabolism, since there is a lack of robust evidence about the possible cardioprotective and hypolipemic role of the same on HFD.
This study will determine the effect of physical activity promotion based on Thai Physical Activity Guideline (TPAG) and break in workplace sitting on physical activity level, physical fitness, body compositions, cognitive functions and cardiometabolic biomarkers in office workers at Software Park Thailand under the Office of Science and Technology (NSTDA). There are two intervention including physical activity (PA) coaching based on TPAG and break in workplace sitting. The investigators will coach participants for promoting daily active life and participating to monthly exercise programs. The participants will be assign to break in sitting during daily work.
Overview- In this study, overweight or obese, sedentary participants (age=35-55 years, n=20) will be randomized to a 12-week control period or an aerobic exercise intervention. Those randomized into the control group will then complete the exercise intervention subsequently. The planned energy expenditure per week of exercise will be 10-12 kilocalories per kilogram of body weight per week. Participants will complete three non-consecutive exercise sessions per week. Body weight, resting metabolic rate via indirect calorimetry, peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) through graded exercise testing, fasting blood samples, CGM, sleep and dietary habits via self-report, and physical activity monitoring will be completed at prior to and following the aerobic exercise intervention.
