In a randomized controlled trial we compared the clinical outcome of acute stroke patients, 110 whom were allocated to treatment in unit and general medical wards. No significant difference existed between these groups with regard sex, age, marital status, history, or functional impairment on admission. Outcome was measured at 6 52 weeks after by proportion patients home, an institution, mortality, state. After 56.4% 32.7% wards home (p = 0.0004), 62.7% 44.6%, respectively, 0.002). 36.3%...
Abstract Objective To evaluate the personal protective effects of wearing versus not surgical face masks in public spaces on self-reported respiratory symptoms over a 14 day period. Design Pragmatic randomised superiority trial. Setting Norway. Participants 4647 adults aged ≥18 years: 2371 were assigned to intervention arm and 2276 control arm. Interventions wear mask (eg, shopping centres, streets, transport) period (mask at home or work was mentioned). places. Main outcome measures The...
Understanding the factors that influence school travel mode choice is essential for promoting active among adolescents. Currently, there a lack of research effectively investigates interactions between demographic and environmental on behavior. We aimed to investigate associations various characteristics modes-walking, cycling, or motorized transport-among adolescents, across winter summer seasons. Data from 1409 Norwegian aged 14-15 years, who participated in School In Motion project were...
Abstract Background Studies indicate that health-related components of physical fitness are associated with mental health outcomes. However, research is scarce concerning this relationship in young adolescents general and non-existent Norwegian populations specifically. The aim the study was to examine whether body composition, muscular strength cardiorespiratory were self-reported adolescents. Methods Adolescents from four regions Norway ( n = 1486; mean age 13.9; girls 50.6%) participated....
Abstract Background Physical activity (PA) declines throughout adolescence, therefore PA promotion during this period is important. We analyzed the effect of two school-based interventions on daily levels, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and muscle strength among adolescents. Methods For nine-month School in Motion intervention study (ScIM), we cluster-randomized 30 Norwegian secondary schools ( N = 2084, mean age [SD] 14 [0.3] years) to one three arms. The physically active learning (PAL)...
Abstract Background School-based physical activity interventions evaluating the effect on academic performance usually includes children. We aimed to investigate of a nine-month, school-based intervention titled School in Motion (ScIM) adolescents. Methods Thirty secondary schools Norway were cluster-randomized into three groups: Physically active learning (PAL) group ( n = 10), Don’t worry – Be Happy (DWBH) 10) or control 10). Target dose both groups was 120 min/week additional PA during...
To investigate the effects of two school-based physical activity interventions on mental health in Norwegian adolescents. Students from 29 lower secondary schools Norway (n = 2084; 14–15 years; 49% female) were cluster-randomized into either a control group or one intervention groups (M1 and M2). Two based different theoretical frameworks aimed to increase school by approximately 120 min per week, throughout 29-week period. M1 consisted 30 physically active learning, 60 education lesson. M2...
Little information exists on the mechanism of how physical activity interventions effects academic performance. We examined whether a school-based intervention performance were mediated by aerobic fitness. The School in Motion study was nine-month cluster randomized controlled trial between September 2017 and June 2018. Students from 30 Norwegian lower secondary schools (N = 2,084, mean age [SD] 14 [0.3] years) randomly assigned into three groups: Physically Active Learning (PAL) (n 10),...
Abstract Background: Studies indicate that health-related components of physical fitness are associated with mental health outcomes. However, research is scarce concerning this relationship in young adolescents general and non-existent Norwegian populations specifically. The aim the study was to examine whether body composition, muscular strength cardiorespiratory were self-reported adolescents. Methods: Adolescents from four regions Norway (n = 1486; mean age 13.9; girls 50.6%)...
Abstract Background: Participation in regular physical activity (PA) is important for both and mental health, positive associations have also been reported between PA academic performance. However, levels decline markedly during adolescence. School motion (ScIM) a school-based intervention carried out over one school year, sample of 14-year-old girls boys. The primary aim was to investigate whether two extra hours weekly lead increases the adolescents’ accelerometer assessed levels....
There is increasing evidence of a positive association between physical activity (PA) and academic performance. However, few studies include adolescents. PURPOSE: To investigate the effect nine-month, school-based PA cluster-randomized controlled trial, School in Motion (ScIM), on performance 14-year-old METHODS: 29 secondary schools (N=2084) Norway were into three groups A) Physical active learning (PAL) intervention group (n= 10), B) Don't worry - Be Happy (DWBH) (n = 9) or C) control 10)....
Active travel and school settings are considered ideal for promoting physical activity. However, previous research suggests limited effect of school-based interventions on overall activity levels among adolescents. The relationship between in different domains remains inconclusive. In this study, we examined the effects adding two weekly hours active rates.We analyzed data from 1370 pupils 9th-grade participating cluster RCT; School Motion (ScIM) project. Intervention schools (n = 19)...
