BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy a clinician referral and exercise program in improving levels quality life for men with prostate cancer. METHODS This multicenter cluster randomized controlled trial Melbourne, Australia comprising 15 clinicians: 8 clinicians were refer eligible participants (n = 54) 12‐week 2 supervised gym sessions 1 home‐based session per week, 7 follow usual care 93). primary outcome self‐reported physical activity; secondary outcomes...
Abstract Purpose A randomized-controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of a 6-month self-paced aquatic exercise intervention on physical function, symptoms and psychosocial measures in individuals with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Methods Thirty-two diagnosed ME/CFS (55.0 ± 13.9 yr) were randomized into an group (INT, n = 17) or control (CON, 15) for two 20-min sessions per week movements stretches. Pre- post-intervention outcomes included physiological...
Objective In this study, the effects of vibration therapy (VT) on delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and associated inflammatory markers after downhill running were determined. Methods 29 male recreational runners (33 (8) years; Vo 2 peak 57 (6) ml kg −1 min ) completed a 40-min run randomly allocated to VT group or Control group. For 5 days post-run, underwent once-daily sessions upper lower legs. DOMS was assessed pre-run for post-run by visual analogue scale. Immune cell subsets plasma...
The ingestion of solutions containing carbohydrates with different intestinal transport mechanisms (e.g., fructose and glucose) produce greater carbohydrate water absorption compared single-carbohydrate solutions. However, the fructose-ingestion rate that results in most efficient use exogenous when glucose is ingested below absorption-oxidation saturation rates unknown. Ten cyclists rode 2 h at 50% peak power then performed 10 maximal sprints while ingesting (13)C-maltodextrin 0.6 g/min...
Although evidence is building on the positive effects of physical activity for prostate cancer survivors, less known about possible independent sedentary behavior quality life and psychological well-being in this population. We determined extent to which objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) were independently associated with life, anxiety, depressive symptoms survivors.An exploratory cross-sectional analysis was undertaken baseline data from a multicenter, cluster randomized...
Purpose This study aimed to determine the effect of postexercise protein–leucine coingestion with CHO–lipid on subsequent high-intensity endurance performance and investigate candidate mechanisms using stable isotope methods metabolomics. Methods In this double-blind, randomized, crossover study, 12 male cyclists ingested a leucine/protein/CHO/fat supplement (LEUPRO 7.5/20/89/22 g·h−1, respectively) or isocaloric CHO/fat control (119/22 g·h−1) 1–3 h after exercise during 6-d training block...
Abstract Understanding the factors that influence adherence to exercise programs is necessary develop effective interventions for people with cancer. We examined predictors of a supervised program participants in ENGAGE study – cluster randomized controlled trial assessed efficacy clinician‐referred 12‐week among men treated prostate Demographic, clinical, behavioral, and psychosocial data from 52 intervention group were collected at baseline through self‐report medical records. Adherence...
The aims of this study were to determine the effects four weeks intermittent exposure a moderate hypoxia environment (15% oxygen), and compare with exercise in normoxia or hypoxia, on glucose homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, GLUT4 translocation, receptor phosphorylation, Akt-dependent GSK3 phosphorylation Akt activity skeletal muscle obese mice type 2 diabetes.C57BL/6J that developed diabetes high-fat-diet (55% fat) (fasting blood glucose, FBG = 13.9 ± 0.69 (SD) mmol/L) randomly allocated...
Despite evidence that physical activity improves the health and well-being of prostate cancer survivors, many men do not engage in sufficient levels activity. The primary aim this study (ENGAGE) is to determine efficacy a referral program among survivors cancer, terms increasing participation Secondary aims are effects on psychological well-being, quality life objective functioning. influence individual environmental mediators will also be determined.This cluster randomised controlled trial....
1. The variability in the purchase and consumption of vitamin C diet people living United Kingdom has been studied using Annual Reports National Food Survey Committee new observations gathered independently. 2. sources examined have family household composition, social class, seasonal week-to-week sampling variation. 3. distribution mean daily intakes approximates closely to a log-normal distribution. Assuming this be so, it may calculated that about one-quarter households averaging less...
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a debilitating disorder with an unknown aetiology but suspected multifactorial origins. Common "triggers" include severe viral infections and emotional stress. Recent studies have also found evidence of immune dysfunction elevated inflammatory cytokines in CFS patients, there has been considerable variation the outcome measures magnitude these studies. Currently, no cure for treatments rest, specialist medical care, cognitive behavioural therapy, graded...
Introduction There has been a steep increase in the prevalence of adolescent overweight and obesity globally India, demonstrating that present prevention strategies are insufficient. Available evidence suggests multifactorial interventions may improve short-term physical activity (PA), nutrition psychological behaviour obese adolescents but long-term follow-ups needed. This study will investigate effects structured (school-based family-based) intervention on obesity, compared with single or...
Purpose There is increasing evidence of immune system dysfunction in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), but little known the regular exercise effects on cell parameters. This pilot study investigated graded and intermittent CD4+ lymphocyte subset counts activation compared with usual care. Methods Twenty-four CFS patients (50.2 ± 10 yr) were randomized to (GE), (IE), or care (UC) groups; 18 sedentary non-CFS participants (50.6 controls (CTL) for blood immunological comparisons. Outcome measures...
Abstract There is substantial evidence of immune system dysfunction in chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) but little understood exercise training effects on lymphocyte function this illness. This study investigated whether graded and intermittent improved CD 8 + activation natural killer cell degranulation markers compared to no exercise. Twenty‐four syndrome ( CFS ) patients (50.2 ± 10 year) were randomized GE ), IE or usual care UC groups; a control group CTL 18...
