Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of hybrid closed loop on glycemic outcomes in young patients aged between 15 and 25 years old with type 1 diabetes, whatever is their initial metabolic control.
Introduction: The practice of stretching is commonly used in the preparation of activities and/or physical exercises that require some component of flexibility, strength, endurance and muscle power. This explains the high growth in recent decades of studies investigating the effect of stretching, mainly static and dynamic, when performed immediately before activities that aim to develop these physical capacities. Despite the growing interest of scholars on this topic, the long-term impact of dynamic stretching on flexibility, strength performance, endurance and muscle power is still not fully understood. In addition, a type of dynamic stretching little explored in the literature needs investigation: the stretches used during Pilates exercise sessions. The effects of these stretching exercises on a physical conditioning program based on Pilates exercises in the young adult population are not yet known. Objective: To verify through a randomized clinical trial the effects of stretching in a conditioning program based on Pilates exercises on flexibility, strength, endurance and muscle power. Methods: In this study, 32 young adults of both sexes will be randomized into two groups: 1) Traditional Pilates; 2) Pilates Without Stretching. The Traditional Pilates group will perform a protocol of stretching exercises followed by muscle strengthening. The Pilates Without Stretching group will perform an exercise protocol consisting only of muscle strengthening exercises. Muscle strength results will be evaluated by 1 repetition max by elastic resistance; trunk muscle strength/endurance by the 1-minute abdominal test and the Sorensen test, respectively; vertical jump performance by the sargent jump test; handgrip strength by the handheld dynamometer and flexibility by the sit-and-reach test. These physical capacities will be assessed at baseline and after 8 weeks of intervention. Interventions will be performed three times a week for 8 weeks. The analysis will be performed with intent-to-treat analysis and adjusted covariance for baseline outcomes.
The main objective of this project is to study the diurnal variation of the effect of exercise on glycemic metabolism and fat oxidation in humans.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of cognitive training on attention function in healthy young people.
Regular physical activity (PA) is associated with maintaining body composition, increased cardiorespiratory capacity, muscle mass and bone mineral density. In the event of a cancer, the development of physical capacities and metabolism may therefore be disturbed by cancer, these associated treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation) but also undernutrition and the reduction in physical activity or even a sedentary lifestyle. Although the benefits of PA in oncology are now well identified for adult populations, studies are still rare in the population of children, adolescents and young adults, and the results are still difficult to generalize. As a result, there is no recommendation on the practice of physical activity in pediatric oncology or adolescents and young adults and the levels of physical activity of cured patients remain lower than those of the general population. Fitness is a marker of health in adults as well as in adolescents. Physical condition is a set of components such as cardiorespiratory capacity (transport and use of O2), body composition (distribution of bone, muscle and fat masses) and muscle function (strength, power, fatigue, energy metabolism) . The investigators hypothesize that, compared to young adults, recovered from lymphoma are expected to exhibit impaired physical condition, due to physical deconditioning.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, university students have faced many challenges and without any preparation. Studies conducted during the first lockdown show an increase in unhealthy lifestyles. This study will be proposed to students from University of Nimes an 8-week physical activity program. Two groups will be constituted: the first will benefit from of innovative physical activity program on the base of the co-construction with users (Experimental Group), another that will not benefit from any intervention (Control Group). Investigators plan to include approximately 90 university students, 45 in each group. The main goal of the study is to propose innovative program to promote PA (Physical Activity) and reduce ST (Sedentary Time) of young adults aged over 18 from university of Nîmes. The levels of PA and ST of the experimental group will be compared to a control group with the realization of pre and post intervention measures.
Short, online interventions designed to enhance well-being may be particularly amenable for use with adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors (age 15-39 at diagnosis), an understudied group in the cancer community. The benefits of psychological well-being on both physical and mental health outcomes are well-known and, in recent years, researchers and policymakers have begun to view the period of adolescence and young adulthood as a window of opportunity to instantiate lasting habits and behaviors. Growing evidence suggests that prosocial behavior-a behavior that can be reliably manipulated through a short online intervention-may have beneficial effects on well-being and physical health. This has yet to be tested in AYA cancer survivors. Drawing from the literature on positive psychology and prosocial interventions, the proposed study will test the feasibility and efficacy of an 8-week online peer helping intervention designed to increase well-being among AYA cancer survivors. AYA cancer survivors (n = 176) will be recruited and randomized to one of three conditions: a peer helping condition, a cancer-specific writing plus peer helping condition, or a cancer-specific writing condition (control condition). The second group was added in response to a previous study, which found that writing about one's experience prior to helping other survivors may be more beneficial. Participants will complete a weekly writing activity once per week for 4 weeks, with instructions administered via a weekly email. Participants will also complete online assessments before, during, and after the 4-week intervention period.
This research study aims to explore the feasibility and acceptability of a smartphone application intervention, called iaya, among young adults with cancer.
The aim of this study was to assess the treatment effect of plates and conventional exercises on health related quality of life, pain, functional level, psychological state in young adults. Randomised controlled study. Participants were randomly divided into 3 groups: a plates exercise group (n = 29), a therapeutic exercise group (n = 21), and a control group (n = 35). The therapeutic and plates groups underwent related training programs for 3 month, while the controls had no specific training. After demographic knowledge were collected the investigators carried out the following assessments on all participants: the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Waist/ Hip ratio (WHr), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Notthingham Health Profile (NHP). All subjects were evaluated at baseline and post-training.
The objectives are articulated in the proposal's specific aims: Aim 1: To test the hypothesis that the cognitive control of unattended memory items (UMI) is implemented by the same frontoparietal mechanisms that control spatial and nonspatial attention. Aim 2: To test the hypothesis that the selection of visual stimuli, whether from the environment or from WM, is accomplished, in part, by the hijacking of low-frequency oscillatory dynamics that are fundamental to the waking-state physiology of the corticothalamic circuitry of the visual system. Aim 3: To test the hypothesis that the function of context binding contributes to delay-period activity of the posterior parietal cortex (PPC).
