Emerging literature highlights the need to incorporate physical activity into every strategy intended prevent weight gain as well maintain loss over time. Furthermore, should be part of any plan lose weight. The stimulus exercise provides valuable metabolic adaptations that improve energy and macronutrient balance regulation. A tight coupling between intake expenditure has been documented at high levels exercise, suggesting may appetite control. regular practice also reported reduce risk...
Dairy products provide Ca and protein which may facilitate appetite control. Conversely, weight loss is known to increase the motivation eat. This randomised controlled trial verified influence of milk supplementation on markers during loss. Low consumer women participated in a 6-month energy-restricted programme ( − 2508 kJ/d or 600 kcal/d) received either (1000 mg Ca/d) an isoenergetic placebo n 13 12, respectively). Fasting sensations were assessed by visual analogue scales....
Tesofensine (TE), an inhibitor of monoamine presynaptic reuptake, has produced twice the weight loss seen with currently marketed drugs. However, its long term effect on appetite in humans not been studied. A multicentre phase II trial was divided into two parts (24 weeks each). Part 1 had a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled design and 2, open‐labeled, single‐group, uncontrolled design. drug‐free period (12 ± 3 weeks) separated them. In 1, participants ( n = 158) were assigned to...
Summary This study aims to determine the proportion of girls who meet recommendations for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), screen time and sleep duration among FitSpirit participants evaluate associations these with perceived health-related quality life (QOL), health, (PA), self-efficacy body mass index. Cross-sectional analyses data were performed. All variables collected through an online questionnaire. The meeting all was 2.2%, while 72.5% met either one or two 25.4% none. A...
Adolescence is a crucial time in the development and maintenance of lifestyle habits. Interventions to improve health-related behaviors are important, including those that can contribute an increase physical activity (PA). During adolescence, PA typically decreases with age, particularly girls. The FitSpirit program offers services help Canadian schools from Quebec Ontario implement interventions for adolescent This study aimed evaluate changes participants’ levels habits (sedentary time,...
Abstract Background Body image variables such as body size perception (BSP) and dissatisfaction (BSD) can influence health-related behaviors. However, few studies have investigated these in adolescent girls participating a physical activity intervention. Therefore, the study objectives were to examine 1) associations between behaviors (physical activity, screen-time, eating habits sleep duration) BSP BSD among FitSpirit, intervention for girls; 2) of weight control practices on association...
Abstract Background Worldwide, most adolescent girls do not meet physical activity (PA) recommendations and very few PA programs are tailored specifically towards them. Even fewer information exists about the long-term effects of such programs. Some Canadian schools have implemented FitSpirit intervention designed for aged 12 to 17 years old. This paper describes protocol a quasi-experimental study evaluating changes in health behaviours outcomes following participation. Methods The is...
The measurement error of the step count function ActiGraph GT3X accelerometer was assessed at different walking speeds in 12 obese and 16 nonobese individuals. In comparison with visual verification, larger for individuals low (2.5 km·h(-1)). This equated to an approximate 50% underestimation these speeds.
This study aimed (1) to describe the experience of adolescents and adults using FitSpirit asynchronous virtual (V) exercise videos that target adolescent girls, (2) compare physical activity (PA) levels exercise-related self-perception variables among groups (2019 in-person [IP], 2021 IP, V) (3) assess association between adolescents' PA their in response IP (pre-pandemic during pandemic) V (during modes. Regarding first aim, 28 girls ([15.5 ± 0.8] years old) 29 adult women ([33.0 10.3]...
Introduction Overall physical activity (PA) has been linked to decreased olfactory dysfunction and could improve function. Additionally, function can contribute reduced overall PA levels, given its association with neurodegenerative disorders. This study aims examine the relationship between specific parameters (duration, frequency, intensity) in adults. Methods A total of 3,527 participants from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013–2014 underwent assessments for weekly...
The main aim was to verify in a group of adolescent girls undergoing school-based intervention if the number years participation is related healthy lifestyle habits, body weight status, and perceived health. Cross-sectional analysis FitSpirit data performed. Body mass index, variables, health were collected through an online questionnaire. Chi-square test, Fisher's ANOVA Mean age 272 14.7 ± 1.5 years. Higher percentage with 3 or more met recommendations for physical activity (PA) sleep...
The workplace has been suggested as a good setting for the promotion of healthy lifestyles. This article examines impact Activate Your Health programme, provided over an average 1.35 years, on employee health and lifestyle habits (actual intention to improve). Companies selected one programme's four options (number interventions in parentheses): Control (2), Light (8), Moderate (13) High (14). Employees (n = 524) completed online questionnaire at baseline post-intervention. Mixed-effect...
