Filter by:The goal of this randomized crossover clinical trial is to investigate the effects of interrupting prolonged sitting with intermittent walks of equal volume but at different frequencies, in addition to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, on postprandial serum lipid profile in young adults between the ages of 18-30. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do interrupting prolonged sitting with intermittent walks of equal volume but at different frequencies sustain positive cardiometabolic effects after moderate-intensity aerobic exercise? - If "yes", which frequency of breaks is more effective to provide cardiometabolic benefits? Participants will complete four conditions on separate days: 1) 6.5 hours of prolonged sitting after 30 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic exercise 2) breaking prolonged sitting with 2 minutes of walking every 30 minutes after 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise 3) breaking prolonged sitting with 4 minutes of walking every 1-h after 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise 4) breaking prolonged sitting with 8 minutes of walking every 2-h after 30 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic exercise.
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.
