The study aimed to examine the effects of diurnal Ramadan fasting (RF) on substrate oxidation, energy production, blood lipids and glucose as well body composition. Nine healthy Muslim men (fasting (FAST) group) eight non-practicing (control (CNT) were assessed pre- post-RF. FAST additionally at days 10, 20 30 RF in morning evening. Body composition was determined by hydrodensitometry, oxidation production indirect calorimetry, metabolic profile biochemical analyses balance activity tracker...
The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy vivofit activity tracker in assessing energy expenditure and step count. Thirteen participants wore for five days. Participants were required independently perform 1 h self-selected each day study. On four, came lab undergo BMR a treadmill-walking task (TWT). five, completed office-type activities. values estimated by not significantly different from measured through indirect calorimetry (IC). underestimated EE treadmill walking, but...
No previous research has examined age and sex differences in balance outcomes individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at risk of falls. A secondary analysis baseline data from an ongoing trial fall prevention COPD was conducted. Age were analyzed for the Berg Balance scale (BBS), Evaluation System Test (BEST test) Activities-specific Confidence Scale (ABC). Overall, 223 included. Females had higher impairments than males [BBS: mean (SD) = 47 (8) vs. 49 (6) points; BEST...
Shoulder arthroplasty improves shoulder range of motion (ROM), strength and function in patients with advanced disease. However, clinical outcomes vary are not always predictable among patients. Pre-operative factors patients' characteristics may influence improvement after surgery. This study examined the impact pre-operative objective measures (ROM) strength, age, sex, comorbidities on ROM, status amount one year following arthroplasty.140 were assessed pre-operatively this prospective...
Abstract: This systematic review evaluated the measurement properties of De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS) in adults. A search four electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and PsycINFO) was conducted from inception until December 2022. The COSMIN (Consensus-Based Standards for Selection Health Measurement Instruments) guidelines were used to assess methodological quality evidence synthesis included studies. Forty-six studies assessed validity reliability DJGLS-11 its short...
Objective Indirect calorimetry (IC) systems measure the fractions of expired carbon dioxide (F e CO 2 ), and oxygen O ) recorded at mouth to estimate whole-body energy production. The fundamental principle IC relates catabolism high-energy substrates such as carbohydrates lipids meet body’s needs through oxidative process, which are reflected in measured uptake rates (V̇O production (V̇CO ). Accordingly, it is important know accuracy validity V̇O V̇CO measurements when estimating substrate...
BACKGROUND The psychometric properties of loneliness measures have not been reported in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability University California Los Angeles Loneliness Scale (UCLA-LS) version 3 for use this population.
Limited research assessed the validity of Activities-specific Balance Confidence, ABC) Scale in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD) at risk falls. We report on scale's construct and criterion validity. Construct was established by assessing known groups, convergent, divergent A receiver operating characteristic, (ROC) curve logistic regression examined scale. In 223 COPD, ABC significantly, (p < 0.001) discriminated between lower scores for females [Mean difference...
Rehabilitation after exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is beneficial, but its feasibility questionable. Feasibility potentiated by stakeholder involvement throughout program development. We explored the perspectives different stakeholders towards a rapid access rehabilitation (RAR) acute exacerbations. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 3 patients (62-89y; GOLD D), 10 health professionals (HP, 31-71y) and policymakers (38-55y). Thematic analysis was...
Background: Adhesive capsulitis (AC) occurs five times more often in people with diabetes and leads to prolonged disability. Exercises joint mobilization are usually used manage AC. However, the recovery is slow incomplete. Aerobic exercises improve hyperglycemia insulin sensitivity. Currently, no research has formally assessed benefits of incorporating an aerobic training program into treatment plan AC patients diabetes. This single blind pilot randomized trial will compare preliminary...
