To explore physical activity (PA) in adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) compared a healthy population and to examine associations between PA disease-related factors.Total energy expenditure (TEE), activity-related (AEE), level, pattern were assessed 3-day diary. Aerobic capacity was using Symptom Limited Bicycle Ergometry test. Functional ability the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire. Disease Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation core set...

Abstract Objective To examine the aerobic and anaerobic exercise capacity in adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) compared age‐ sex‐matched healthy individuals, to assess associations between disease‐related variables capacity. Methods Of 25 patients enrolled a JIA transition outpatient clinic, 22 were included this study (mean ± SD age 17.1 0.7 years, range 16–18 years). Aerobic was examined using Symptom Limited Bicycle Ergometry test. Anaerobic assessed Wingate Test....

Abstract Background. The aims of the study were to examine effects a multidimensional rehabilitation program on cancer-related fatigue, concurrent predictors and investigate whether change in fatigue over time was associated with predictors. Methods. Sample: 72 cancer survivors different diagnoses. Setting: center. Intervention: 15-week program. Measures: Fatigue (Multidimensional Inventory), demographic disease/treatment-related variables, body composition (bioelectrical impedance),...

Objective: To conduct a randomized controlled trial and compare the effects on cancer survivors' quality of life in 12-week group-based multidisciplinary self-management rehabilitation program, combining physical training (twice weekly) cognitive-behavioral (once with those weekly). In addition, both interventions were compared no intervention. Methods: Participants (all types, medical treatment completed ≥3 months ago) randomly assigned to (n = 76) or 71). The nonintervention comparison...

Research suggests that cancer rehabilitation reduces fatigue in survivors of cancer. To date, it is unclear what type most beneficial.This randomized controlled trial compared the effect on cancer-related physical training combined with cognitive behavioral therapy alone and no intervention.In this multicenter trial, 147 were randomly assigned to a group received cognitive-behavioral (PT+CBT group, n=76) or (PT n=71). In addition, nonintervention control (WLC group) consisting 62 who waiting...

We compared the effect of a 12-week group-based multidisciplinary self-management rehabilitation program, combining physical training (twice weekly) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (once with on cancer survivors' quality life over 1-year period.One hundred forty-seven survivors [48.8 +/- 10.9 years (mean SD), all types, medical treatment > or = 3 months ago] were randomly assigned to either (PT, n 71) plus (PT + CBT, 76). Quality activity levels measured before immediately after...

Abstract Objective Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are less physically active than healthy peers. Therefore, we developed an Internet‐based intervention to improve physical activity (PA). The aim of this study was examine the effectiveness program in improving PA. Methods PA determined by activity‐related energy expenditure, level, time spent on moderate vigorous PA, and number days ≥1 hour activity, assessed a 7‐day diary. Aerobic exercise capacity means Bruce treadmill...

We compared the effect of a group-based 12-week supervised exercise programme, i.e. aerobic and resistance exercise, group sports, with that same programme combined cognitive-behavioural training on physical fitness activity cancer survivors. One hundred forty seven survivors (all types, medical treatment ≥3 months ago) were randomly assigned to (PT, n=71) or PT plus (PT+CBT, n=76). Maximal capacity, muscle strength assessed at baseline post-intervention. Analyses using multilevel linear...

Abstract Objective Mediating mechanisms of a 12‐week group‐based exercise intervention on cancer survivors' quality life (QoL) were examined to inform future development. Methods Two hundred nine survivors ≥3 months posttreatment (57% breast cancer) aged 49.5 (±10.4) years assigned physical ( n = 147) or wait‐list control 62). QoL, fatigue, emotional distress, activity, general self‐efficacy and mastery assessed at baseline post‐intervention using questionnaires. Path analysis was conducted...

BackgroundEvidence supports the use of educational and physical training programs for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Background. Oxytocin administration is increasingly considered a novel therapeutic support option for alleviating psychological distress in stress-related neuropsychiatric conditions, including anxiety disorders and depression.However, oxytocin as stand-alone treatment may fail to consistently target the relevant central autonomic circuitry without complementary supportive context that similarly stimulates stress regulatory states behaviours.Recent findings suggest neurophysiological...

Lower physical activity levels and decreased fitness have been reported in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) (1). Physical includes 4 components: muscular endurance strength, flexibility, body composition, cardiorespiratory or aerobic (2). Cardiorespiratory is most strongly associated health benefits the general population therefore primary focus of exercise programs (3,4). Children JIA a moderate to large impairment as represented by peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) compared...

Objective: To compare components of health-related physical fitness between Dutch children with clinically diagnosed developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and typically developing (TDC), to examine associations motor performance problems in DCD. Methods: A multicenter case-control study was used DCD (N = 38; age, 7–12 years; 10 girls 28 boys) that age- gender-matched TDC. Motor (manual dexterity, ball balance skills) were assessed using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children....

In order to overcome cancer-related problems and improve quality of life, an intensive multi-focus rehabilitation programme for cancer patients was developed. We hypothesised that this six-week would result in physiological improvements improvement life. Thirty-four with physical psychosocial were the subjects a prospective observational study. A consisted four components: individual exercise, sports, psycho-education, information. Measurements (symptom-limited bicycle ergometry performance,...

Abstract Objective : Group‐based physical training interventions have been shown to be effective in increasing quality of life cancer survivors. Until now, however, the impact cohesion within group on intervention outcome has not investigated. Methods We examined self‐reported individual ratings collected first half a 12‐week rehabilitation programme for survivors ( N =132). Four dimensions were measured, i.e. bond with as whole, other members, cooperation and instrumental value. Quality...

This study explored demographic, clinical, and psychological moderators of the effect a group-based physical exercise intervention on global quality life (QoL) among cancer survivors who completed treatment. Cancer were assigned to 12-week (n = 147) or wait-list control group 62). The main outcome measure was QoL, assessed with EORTC QLQ-C30 at baseline 12 weeks later. Potential age, gender, education level, marital status, employment type treatment, time since presence comorbidities,...

Summary. With the introduction of prophylaxis, restricting children with haemophilia to participate in physical activities was no longer necessary. Subsequently, many studies report on improved functioning and adolescents haemophilia. However, little is known about psychological aspects such as perceived competence impact disease. Therefore, aims this study were explore: (i) competence, (ii) illness, (iii) analyse associations between demographic factors, disease‐related factors joint status...
