Objective To investigate if the physical activity (PA) prior to infection is associated with severity of disease in patients positively tested for COVID-19, as well most common symptoms. Design A cross-sectional study using baseline data from a prospective, hybrid cohort (Predi-COVID) Luxembourg. Data were collected May 2020 June 2021. Setting Real-life setting (at home) and hospitalised patients. Participants All volunteers aged >18 years confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, determined by...
To analyze the association of objective and subjective sleep measures with HbA1c insulin sensitivity in general population.Using a cross-sectional design, data from 1028 participants ORISCAV-LUX-2 study population Luxembourg were analyzed. Objective assessed using accelerometers whereas Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. defined as predictors, while quantitative check index (QUICKI) scores considered outcomes. Linear spline regression models fitted by progressively...
The main objective was to investigate whether the cumulative load of lower limbs, defined as product external and step rate, could be predicted using spatiotemporal variables gathered with a commercially available wearable device in running. Therefore, thirty‐nine runners performed two running tests at 10 12 km/h, respectively. Spatiotemporal (step ground contact time, vertical oscillation) were collected device. Kinetic variables, measured gold standard equipment (motion capture system...
Abstract Background There is a considerable burden of sedentary time in European adults. We aimed to quantify the differences adiposity and cardiometabolic health associated with theoretically exchanging for alternative 24 h movement behaviours. Methods This observational cross-sectional study included Luxembourg residents aged 18–79 years who each provided ≥ 4 valid days triaxial accelerometry ( n = 1046). Covariable adjusted compositional isotemporal substitution models were used examine...
In a recent randomised trial investigating running shoe cushioning, injury risk was greater in recreational runners who trained the version with cushioning stiffness (Stiff) compared to those using Soft version. However, vertical impact peak force (VIPF) lower Stiff To investigate further mechanisms involved protective effect of present study used an intra-subject design and analysed differences kinematics kinetics between versions on subsample 41 from previous trial. Data were recorded two...
Objective: This pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed at evaluating the feasibility and potential efficacy of a motivational interviewing (MI) intervention to increase physical activity (PA) behavior in cancer patients. Methods: Participants were randomly assigned an experimental group with standard care plus 12 MI sessions within weeks or control only. The number recruited participants modality recruitment recorded describe reach study. acceptability study was estimated using...
Abstract Background Parameters derived from an acceleration signal, such as the time accumulated in sedentary behaviour or moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), may not be sufficient describe (PA) which is a complex behaviour. Incorporating more advanced wearable-specific indicators of PA (WIPAB) useful when characterising profiles and investigating associations with health. We investigated novel objective measures glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) insulin sensitivity (Quicki index)....
Existing information about population physical activity (PA) levels and sedentary time in Luxembourg are based on self-reported data.This observational study included residents aged 18-79y who each provided ≥4 valid days of triaxial accelerometry 2016-18 (n=1122). Compliance with the current international PA guideline (≥150 min moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) per week, irrespective bout length) was quantified variability average 24h acceleration (indicative volume), awake-time levels,...
Cushioning systems in running shoes are used assuming that ground impact forces relate to injury risk and cushioning materials reduce these forces. In our recent trial, the more cushioned shoe version was associated with lower risk. However, vertical peak force higher participants Soft version. The primary objective of this study investigate effect on time, magnitude frequency characteristics using frequency-domain analysis by comparing two groups from trial (Hard group, respectively)....
Arterial stiffness predicts cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We aimed to quantify the differences in arterial associated with reallocating time between 24-h movement behaviours.This observational cross-sectional study included Luxembourg residents aged 25-79y who each provided ≥4 valid days of triaxial accelerometry (n = 1001). Covariable adjusted compositional isotemporal substitution models were used examine if theoretical reallocations device-measured sedentariness, sleep period,...
Objective Adopting a physically active lifestyle and maintaining diet rich in antioxidants can reduce the risk of vascular diseases. Arterial stiffness is an early marker for cardiovascular diseases, indicating damage. This study investigates relationship between physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB), dietary antioxidant, trace elements intake health men women, with focus on pulse wave velocity (PWV), gold standard assessing arterial stiffness. Design nationwide population-based...
Abstract Purpose There is a considerable burden of sedentary time in European adults. We aimed to quantify the differences adiposity, cardiometabolic risk biomarkers, and arterial stiffness associated with exchanging for alternative 24-hour movement behaviours. Methods This observational cross-sectional study included Luxembourg residents aged 18-79y who each provided ≥4 valid days triaxial accelerometry (n=1046). Covariable adjusted compositional isotemporal substitution models were used...
Abstract Purpose This is the first study aiming at describing volume and pattern of device-measured movement behaviours performed by adults living in Luxembourg, spanning full intensity spectrum, including markers sedentary time accumulation. We also demonstrated added value a multidimensional approach for comparison sub-populations. Methods observational included Luxembourg residents aged 18-79y who each provided ≥4 valid days triaxial accelerometry 2016-18 (n = 1122). Compliance with...
