EFFECTS OF 2 PHYSICAL EXERCISE PROGRAMS (CIRCUIT TRAINING AND BRISK WALK) CARRIED OUT DURING WORKING HOURS ON …
Lifestyle Disease | PBF, SMM | M. Saavendra et al. | 2020 | Iceland | International Journal of Occupational Medicine and Environmental Health
Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of 2 physical exercise programs carried out during working hours in an office work environment on health-related parameters of employees. Material and Methods: The participants included 47 healthy office worker volunteers (aged 45±11.95 years, 27% males) who formed 3 groups: circuit training (CT), brisk walk (BW), and control (C) groups. The interventions lasted 12 weeks with a weekly frequency of three 30-minute sessions in the middle of the workday. All employees …
Effect of 12-month resistance and endurance training on quality, quantity, and function of skeletal muscle in older adults requ
Lifestyle Disease | SMI | A Yoshiko et al. | 2017 | Japan | Experimental Gerontology
Older adults requiring long-term care will experience age-associated deterioration of the quality and quantity of skeletal muscle if no interventions are performed. Long-term training is considered a typical intervention method and is effective for improvement of both muscle quantity and physical function. However, how such training affects muscle quality [ie, fat-to-muscle ratio as determined by echo intensity (EI)] in older adults requiring long-term care remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a 12-month …
Changes in Dietary Quality among Vietnamese Women Immigrants in Korea and Comparison with Korean Women
Lifestyle Disease | BW, PBF, WHR | Mohd Sallehuddin et al. | 2018 | Korea | Clinical Nutrition Research
The dietary behavior of immigrants starts changing upon their arrival in a new country. We evaluated changes in dietary quality of Vietnamese women immigrants in Korea and compared dietary quality with that of Korean women. Fifty-six Vietnamese women immigrants and 56 age-matched Korean women were recruited. Dietary quality were assessed using index of nutritional quality (INQ) and diet quality index-international (DQI-I). Dietary habits were assessed according to 4 dietary behaviors: a prudent, calorie control …
High versus moderate intensity running exercise to impact cardiometabolic risk factors: the randomized controlled RUSH-study
Lifestyle Disease | PBF | Wolfgang Kemmler et al. | 2014 | Germany | BioMed Research International
Aerobic exercise positively impacts cardiometabolic risk factors and diseases; however, the most effective exercise training strategies have yet to be identified. To determine the effect of high intensity (interval) training (HI (I) T) versus moderate intensity continuous exercise (MICE) training on cardiometabolic risk factors and cardiorespiratory fitness we conducted a 16-week crossover RCT with partial blinding. Eighty-one healthy untrained middle-aged males were randomly assigned to two study arms:(1) a HI (I) T-group and (2) a sedentary …
Associations between the duration and frequency of sedentary bouts and adiposity in elderly community-dwelling women
Lifestyle Disease | PBF | J Pechová et al. | 2018 | Czech | Preprints
Background: This study aimed to describe the frequency and duration of sedentary bouts and assess the bidirectional cross-sectional associations between these characteristics and adiposity in elderly women. Methods: Data from 314 elderly community-dwelling women (mean age 66.6±6.5 years) from Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia were analyzed. Measures were collected in 2008–2017. Fat mass percentage (FM%) was used as an indicator of adiposity. The patterns of sedentary behaviour were monitored using an …
The effectiveness of an education program and nutritional intervention, integrated health and physical activity in postmenopaus
Lifestyle Disease | FFM, SMM, BFM, PBF | Teresa M-F M et al. | 2016 | Spain | Nutricion Hospitalaria
Objectives: The aim of this study was to test the effectiveness of a nutritional education and intervention programme, promoting holistic health and physical exercise in postmenopausal women, with special emphasis on women who smoke, in order to test whether greater adherence to the diet and increased physical activity and healthy lifestyles reduce cardiovascular risk in this population group. Material and methods: The study population consisted of 96 women (aged 46-79) living in Granada (southern Spain). At baseline, the …
Effect of ramadan fasting on body composition, biochemical profile, and antioxidant status in a sample of healthy individuals
Lifestyle Disease | PBF, ICW, ECW, MM | Urooj et al. | 2020 | India | Int J Endocrinol Metab
Background Muslims fast during the month of Ramadan by abstinence from food and drink every day from dawn to sunset. Studies have reported contradictory results with respect to the changes in body weight and biochemical parameters. No study has been conducted on the association between fasting and body weight and biochemical parameters in the Indian setting on healthy Muslim subjects. Objectives To assess the effect of fasting during Ramadan on biochemical parameters such as lipid profile, liver function test, renal function …

Effect of 6 weeks of whole body vibration training on total and segmental body composition in healthy young adults
Lifestyle Disease | Body composition | Rubio-Arias JA | 2015 | Spain | Acta Physiologica Hungarica
The applied use of new technologies to enhance performance and improve health has been increasing. Initially, whole body vibration training (WBVT) was used as system to improve elite athlete performance. However, this is also used to improve body composition, especially there is a great attention on the effectiveness of WBVT to reduce fat and body weight, with a potential increase in muscle tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 6-week vibration-training program on total and segmental body composition …
