Filter by:Background: This study aims to determine the effects of communicating genetic risk for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) alone or in combination with goal setting and prompts from a wearable device on objectively measured sedentary time (ST) in East Asians. It is hypothesized that this combination will lead to significant favorable changes in objectively ST, and that such changes will be more likely to be sustained over 6-month follow-up. Methods: In a parallel group, randomized controlled trial, a total 414 individuals of East Asians aged over 60years will be allocated into one of three groups: 1 control and 2 intervention groups. Blood samples will be used for estimation of CHD genetic and analysis of metabolic risk markers. Genetic risk for CHD will be estimated based on recently identified 79 SNPs (associated with CHD for East Asians) using an established methodology. Questionnaires and physical measurement will be administered at Before and after the 12-month intervention and at 6-month follow-up. Each group will receive a Fitbit device. Both intervention groups will be given CHD genetic risk estimates along with lifestyle advice but one of them will additionally use Fitbit's step-goal setting and prompt functions. The primary outcome is objectively measured sedentary time. Secondary outcomes include objectively measured MVPA, calories burned, and five intermediate metabolic risk markers (total cholesterol/HDL-C/LDL-C/triglycerides).
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the Archena Infancia Saludable project on adherence to MD and 24-h movement behaviors in schoolchildren
There is strong evidence for the association between sedentary behaviors and cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke. However, the public currently has no clear guidance on how to limit or interrupt their sedentary behaviors. This study will identify and test the physiological effects of several sedentary behavior interruption strategies and explore the feasibility (i.e., likelihood of an individual performing the requested activities) of those strategies to inform the development of public policy surrounding sedentary behavior interruption. Long-term, the findings of this study will inform a large clinical trial that can test whether sedentary behavior reduction can decrease cardiovascular disease risk.
This 3-month study will test whether a program to reduce sitting time, for breast cancer survivors experiencing some physical limitations, can improve their physical function and other important aspects of quality of life.
Background: Physical activity (PA) has beneficial effects on health, physical condition, and the maintenance of autonomy and independence at all ages of life. It also has numerous benefits during pregnancy: maintenance or improvement of physical condition, prevention of excessive weight gain, aid in postpartum weight loss, prevention of gestational hypertension, reduction in number of macrosomic infants at birth, reduction in lower back and pelvic pain, and prevention and improvement of postpartum depressive symptoms. A recent systematic review of the literature concluded that interventions to increase PA levels among pregnant women have a positive effect on this level. The studies included in the review also showed that these interventions have a positive effect on these women's well-being and their mental and physical health. Nonetheless, no study has examined this subject in France. Moreover, to our knowledge, no study in the international literature has looked at online interactive video sessions of PA during pregnancy. Overall, few studies allow an assessment of the effect of sedentary behavior and inadequate PA during pregnancy on maternal, neonatal, or infant outcomes. This is equally true for the health of adults whose mothers were physically active during pregnancy. Moreover, we do not know the actual level of PA of women in France. Finally, we do not know what types of intervention described in the literature would enable the best adherence by French women to their initiation or maintenance of an adequate PA level. Study hypothesis: Our hypothesis is that setting up a free program of physical and sports activity session for pregnant women will enable them to meet the guidelines for PA practice during this period and to reduce their sedentary behavior. Objectives: 1.1. Principal objective To study the feasibility of setting up physical activity (PA) sessions for pregnant women during their prenatal care, by assessing its acceptability, the perceived difficulty of the sessions, and their satisfaction with these sessions. 1.2. Secondary objectives - To evaluate the effect of these sessions: - on the PA level and sedentary behavior of pregnant women, - on their quality of life (QoL). - The feasibility and impact of the sessions will be studied according to their PA level at inclusion: active or inactive. - To identify the facilitators of and obstacles to the acceptability of these sessions, other than those studied in the objectives above. - To measure the willingness to pay of pregnant women so that we can quantify how much they would be willing to pay for such a program, were it were not free. Willingness to pay (measured in €) makes it possible to measure indirectly the acceptability of the program to the participants and the monetary value they attribute to it.
The purpose of this study is to determine if individuals involved in exercise training change habitual activity and inactivity behavior outside of exercise training. Eligible participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: control, exercise training, sedentary time reduction, or exercise training plus sedentary time reduction. It was hypothesized that participants in the exercise training group will compensate for exercise training by reducing free-living physical activity behavior and increasing sedentary time. Participant free-living behavior was monitored for one week at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks using an activPAL wearable monitor.
