Introduction: Depression and anxiety affect one in seven women during the perinatal period, are associated with increased risk of preterm delivery, reduced mother-infant bonding, delays cognitive/emotional development infant. With this survey we aimed to rapidly assess influence COVID-19 pandemic subsequent physical distancing/isolation measures on mental health activity pregnant postpartum women. Methods: Between April 14 – May 8, 2020, recruited who were or within first year after delivery...
The objective is to provide guidance for pregnant women and obstetric care exercise professionals on prenatal physical activity. outcomes evaluated were maternal, fetal or neonatal morbidity, mortality during following pregnancy. Literature was retrieved through searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Cochrane Database Systematic Reviews, Central Register Controlled Trials, Scopus Web Science Core Collection, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, Child Development & Adolescent Studies, Education...
To determine the effect of a Nutrition and Exercise Lifestyle Intervention Program (NELIP) for overweight (OW) obese (OB) pregnant women on pregnancy weight gain, birth weight, maternal retention at 2 months postpartum.
To test the hypothesis that aerobic exercise is associated with improvements in cognition and cerebrovascular regulation, we enrolled 206 healthy low-active middle-aged older adults (mean ± SD age 65.9 6.4 years) a supervised 6-month intervention assessed them before after intervention.
Testicular cancer survivors (TCS) are at increased risk of cancer-related fatigue (CRF), psychosocial impairment, and poor mental health-related quality life (HRQoL). Here, we examine the effects high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in TCS. Secondarily, explore cardiorespiratory fitness as a mediator intervention select baseline characteristics moderators effects.TCS (n = 63) were randomly assigned to 12 weeks supervised HIIT or usual care (UC). PROs...
BACKGROUND Testicular cancer survivors (TCS) have an increased risk of treatment‐related cardiovascular disease (CVD), which may limit their overall survival. We evaluated the effects high‐intensity aerobic interval training (HIIT) on traditional and novel CVD factors surrogate markers mortality in a population‐based sample TCS. METHODS This phase 2 trial ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02459132) randomly assigned 63 TCS to usual care (UC) or 12 weeks supervised HIIT (ie, alternating...
Athletes train and compete at the elite level during their reproductive years, yet sport policies that support pregnant athletes are lacking. The experiences of pregnancy vastly under-represented, such voices needed to evidence-informed policy. Thus, purpose this qualitative study was describe female as they navigate pregnancy, identify policy considerations regarding participation pregnancy.Twenty (mean age 35±5 years) who, within last 5 had trained or competed immediately prior becoming...
Returning to running postpartum presents challenges such as musculoskeletal pain and pelvic floor dysfunction for some females, but there is little guidance on developing progressing training programmes. This study aims establish expert consensus recommendations designing modifying a return-to-running programme, highlight costs access qualified professionals potential barriers discuss clinical, research sports policy implications. A three-round Delphi survey of clinical exercise working with...
Purpose: The present study was designed to develop and validate a prediction equation for peak oxygen consumption (V̇O2peak) using progressive treadmill test refine the current target HR exercise guidelines pregnancy (PARmed-X Pregnancy). Methods: One hundred fifty-six women between 16 22 wk of gestation performed volitional fatigue (peak test). Data from every fourth subject were used form cross-validation group. separated into two age groups; 20-29 (N = 60) 30-39 96) yr then further fit...
To evaluate whether the timing of excessive maternal weight gain in a cohort women following current guidelines for healthy living during pregnancy affects neonatal adiposity at birth.One hundred seventy-two who were least 18 years old with body mass indexes (BMIs) 18.5 recruited between 16 weeks and 20 gestation. The followed retrospectively grouped according to 2009 Institute Medicine first second halves pregnancy: 1) appropriate gestational (ie, within recommendations) ("overall...
