An additional 17 healthy control participants were recruited. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) was measured using oxygen consumption (VO_2peak), and additional measures of walking speed (m s^-1), leg strength and body composition were also assessed. Differences between groups were assessed by matched pairs t-tests. Effect sizes were calculated using Cohen's d. Results: There were no significant differences in age, BMI, muscle mass or body fat between groups (p > 0.05). Peak VO₂ was lower in the stroke group for the shuttle walk test (p = 0.037) and progressive cycle test (p = 0.019), as were all CRF test performance measures (p < 0.05). Stroke survivors walked significantly (p < 0.001) slower at both self-selected and fast speeds. Effect sizes of group differences for all leg strength variables were medium to large, with peak torque lower in the stroke group for all trials. Conclusions: Despite being independently ambulant and community dwelling, the CRF, walking speed and leg strength of this group were reduced compared to non-stroke comparison participants.

The average VO₂ during each 30-second epoch was determined. VO₂ ≥10.5 mL/kg/min was categorised as ≥moderate intensity. Findings: Participants exercised at VO₂ ≥10.5 mL/kg/min for the majority of the time on the workstations [functional: 369/472 epochs (78%), ergometer: 170/204 epochs (83%)]. Most (69%) participants exercised for ≥30 minutes. No serious adverse events occurred. Conclusions: Applying interval training principles to a circuit of functional and ergometer workstations enabled ambulant participants to exercise at an intensity and for a duration that can improve cardiorespiratory fitness. The training approach appears feasible, safe and a promising way to incorporate both cardiorespiratory fitness and functional training into post-stroke management.]]> Wed 19 Jan 2022 15:16:20 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38719 Wed 19 Jan 2022 08:47:08 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48953 Wed 19 Apr 2023 12:42:21 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38246 Wed 18 Aug 2021 15:42:37 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35334 Wed 17 Nov 2021 16:28:12 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35716 Wed 17 Jun 2020 11:10:02 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52410 Wed 11 Oct 2023 11:59:39 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15776 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:59:53 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13782 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:59:23 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28147 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:58:04 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11850 0.05).

Furthermore, a lower baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity correlated with greater weight loss (r_s = 0.398, P = 0.015). Male sex was associated with a 3.6 kg greater weight loss (P = 0.087). Reducing emotional eating during the programme was associated with greater weight loss in women (r_s = 0.576, P = 0.010). Conclusions This study demonstrates that individuals with more severe asthma at baseline are more successful in achieving weight loss, which could be a consequence of greater motivation and could be used as a motivational tool within the clinical setting. Gender tailoring of weight loss programmes may be useful to enhance weight loss success. Future studies are urgently needed to establish predictors of long-term weight loss maintenance in those with asthma. See Editorial, page 179 This study is the first to demonstrate that more severe asthma at baseline, male sex, and improvements in eating behaviours during weight loss are associated with greater weight loss success in overweight and obese adults with asthma. Our findings may inform the development of asthma-specific weight management guidelines.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:17:48 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9285 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:17:28 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15718 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:17:06 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11906 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:12:48 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33277 2peak) was evaluated using a portable metabolic system during the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), the Shuttle Walk Test (SWT) and the cycle graded exercise test (cGXT).

Functional Movement Screen scores, height, and mass were collected at the beginning of the preseason. Training, match exposure, and injury incidence data (non-contact match and training injuries with three levels of severity) were recorded for each individual athlete throughout the season. Linear and logistic regression analyses were conducted to investigate the association between Functional Movement Screen score (continuous score, ≤ 14 or > 14, and three subscores) and injury risk, whilst controlling for exposure time. The mean Functional Movement Screen score for the sample was 13.4 (95% CI: 11.0–14.0). A total of 72 non-contact injuries were recorded (incidence rate: 18.7 per 1000 exposure hours; 95% CI: 11.6–24.8). There were no statistically significant associations between non-contact injury and Functional Movement Screen score for any of the analyses conducted. Our results suggest that the Functional Movement Screen does not reflect non-contact injury risk in elite adolescent rugby league players.

Responses were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using a systematic deductive approach with coding derived from key concepts developed as part of the interview structure. Seventeen participants from eight families were interviewed (aged 18-70 years, 47% male, five with CVD diagnosis). Key themes indicated both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations to improve heart health, variations in risk perception, recognition of the role diet plays in heart health, and the extent of family influences on eating patterns. Discrepancies between perceived and actual CVD risk perception impacted on perceived "need" to modify current dietary patterns towards heart health recommendations. Therefore, strategies not reliant on risk perception are needed to engage those with low risk perception. This could involve identifying and accessing the family "ringleader" to influence involvement and capitalising on personal accountability to other family members.]]> Wed 02 Oct 2019 10:22:05 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31148 Wed 02 Oct 2019 10:20:23 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25772 Wed 02 Oct 2019 10:16:01 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36091 Wed 02 Mar 2022 14:27:33 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47793 Tue 31 Jan 2023 15:05:01 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36180 Tue 25 Feb 2020 10:13:35 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42384 2peak) and heart rate (HR_peak) were recorded.

Athletes were then followed for 9 months for self-reported episodes of respiratory illness, with confirmation of the underlying cause by a sports physician. There were no associations with risk of respiratory illness identified for any parameter assessed in the clinical evaluations. The laboratory parameters associated with an increased risk of respiratory illnesses in highly-trained athletes were cytokine gene polymorphisms for the high expression of IL-6 and IFN-γ expression of EBV-DNA in saliva; and low levels of salivary IgA concentration.

Exploring the technology use behaviors and the possibility of eHealth among survivors who experience higher levels of morbidity or disability because of their stroke is an area of research that warrants further study.]]> Mon 08 May 2023 10:35:04 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48230 Mon 08 May 2023 10:28:01 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51413 Mon 04 Sep 2023 14:50:35 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12881 Mon 03 Sep 2018 12:55:00 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42735 Fri 30 Jun 2023 12:50:12 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37085 −2 and weight loss surgery reported the lowest diet quality (ARFS 31 ± 10 points). Conclusion: Diet quality was highest among those with high nutrition knowledge and lower BMI. Those with a BMI ≥ 40 kg·m⁻², particularly those with past weight loss surgery reported the lowest diet quality, despite comparable levels of nutrition knowledge. It remains unclear which factors explain the variation in diet quality in the weight loss surgery group and this deserves further attention given the growing popularity of weight loss surgery.]]> Fri 28 May 2021 12:17:09 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52793 Fri 27 Oct 2023 14:08:39 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39253 Fri 27 May 2022 15:49:21 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33057 Fri 24 Aug 2018 11:32:40 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30579 max) immediately prior to the 1 hour of task-specific training with the therapist. Recruitment, adherence, retention, participant acceptability, and adverse events will be recorded. Clinical outcome measures will be performed pre-randomisation at baseline, at completion of the training program, and at 1 and 6 months follow-up. Primary clinical outcome measures will be the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) and the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT). If aerobic exercise prior to task-specific training is acceptable, and a future phase 3 randomised controlled trial seems feasible, it should be pursued to determine the efficacy of this combined intervention for people after stroke.]]> Fri 24 Aug 2018 09:07:00 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38018 Fri 23 Jul 2021 15:47:31 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33350 Fri 19 Oct 2018 12:56:50 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49517 Fri 19 May 2023 17:45:14 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37581 Fri 19 Feb 2021 15:51:54 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42232 Fri 19 Aug 2022 11:42:25 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53079 Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:56:47 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47244 Fri 16 Dec 2022 12:23:04 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47286 Fri 13 Jan 2023 10:24:44 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46151 n = 18, mean age: 62.2 ± 9.9 years) performed three repeat trials of sustained maximal grasp over 8 seconds. Both hands were tested in within-day and between-day sessions, with vision and without vision. Measures of maximal tactile pressures and forces were measured for the complete grasp duration (8s) and for the plateau phase (5s). Measures of maximal tactile pressures and forces were reported using the highest value among three repeat trials, the mean of two repeat trials, and the mean of three repeat trials. Reliability was determined using changes in mean, coefficients of variation and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Pearson correlation coefficients were used to evaluate concurrent validity. Results: Changes in mean were very good, coefficients of variation were good to acceptable and ICCs were very good to good for maximal tactile pressures using the highest value among three repeat trials and the mean of three repeat trials for the complete grasp duration (8s) and for the plateau phase (5s) in the dominant hand with and without vision and in the non-dominant hand without vision for within-day and between-day sessions. Maximal tactile pressures had moderate to large correlations with grip strength. Conclusion: The TactArray device demonstrates satisfactory reliability for maximal tactile pressures during a sustained grasp for within-day and between-day testing sessions in both hands. Validity was satisfactory with grip strength in both hands.]]> Fri 11 Nov 2022 18:58:47 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47873 Fri 03 Feb 2023 15:04:00 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30382 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:34:10 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24091 50 years) and BMI category (25.0-29.9, 30.0-35.9, and 35.0-40 kg/m²) and individually randomized (1:1 ratio) to the intervention (n=53) or waitlist control groups (n=48). Intervention: The intervention group received the PULSE Program, which contained print and video resources on weight loss (Self-Help, Exercise and Diet using Internet Technology [SHED-IT] Weight Loss Program), diet modification, and exercise for Type 2 diabetes mellitus prevention. The waitlist control group received no information until 6 months. Main outcome measures: Data were collected from September 2012 to September 2013 and analyzed in 2014-2015. Linear mixed models (intention-to-treat) were used to determine group X time interactions (differences between groups in changes over time) at 6 months for the primary outcome (weight), glycated hemoglobin, and several secondary outcomes (significance level, p<0.05). Results: Differences between groups in mean changes from baseline to 6 months (group x time interaction) favored the intervention over control group for weight loss (-5.50 kg, 95% CI=-7.40 kg, -3.61 kg, p<0.001, Cohen's d=1.15), glycated hemoglobin (-0.2%, 95% CI=-0.3%, -0.1%, p=0.002, d=0.64), and BMI, waist circumference, body fat percentage, aerobic fitness, and lower body muscular fitness (all p<0.05). No group × time effects were observed for fasting plasma glucose, upper body muscular fitness, physical activity, or energy intake. Conclusions: The PULSE Program improved several Type 2 diabetes mellitus risk factors in men, including weight and glycated hemoglobin. These findings provide evidence for a self-administered and gender-tailored lifestyle intervention, which has potential for dissemination in community settings.]]> Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:33:45 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29549 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:33:41 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51339 Fri 01 Sep 2023 13:35:37 AEST ]]>
