The Impact of Digital Technology–Based Exercise Combined With Dietary Intervention on Body Composition in College Students With Obesity: Prospective Study

The Impact of Digital Technology–Based Exercise Combined With Dietary Intervention on Body Composition in College Students With Obesity: Prospective Study

Following a face-to-face meeting, the establishment of a We Chat group, and baseline assessments, participants voluntarily chose to join 1 of 3 intervention groups: TWF+exercise (51/129, 39.5%), LCD+exercise (45/129, 34.9%), or TRF+exercise (33/129, 25.6%). During the experiment, 2 (1.6%) participants of 129 withdrew due to foot injuries.

Factors Related to Pain and Disability Outcomes After an Internet-Delivered or Physiotherapist-Led Exercise Program for Individuals With Chronic Whiplash Symptoms: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Study

Factors Related to Pain and Disability Outcomes After an Internet-Delivered or Physiotherapist-Led Exercise Program for Individuals With Chronic Whiplash Symptoms: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Study

Although the evidence is moderate at best, exercise and patient education are recommended treatments in chronic WAD [7]. Approximately 50% of the included participants in a neck-specific exercise program, conducted by 2 of the authors in this study (GP and AP), with chronic WAD grades II (neck pain and musculoskeletal findings during a physical examination) and III (as grade II but with additional neurological findings) had a sustained clinically important change in pain and disability [8,9].

A 12-Month Digital Peer-Supported App Intervention to Promote Physical Activity Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Follow-Up Study of a Nonrandomized Controlled Trial

A 12-Month Digital Peer-Supported App Intervention to Promote Physical Activity Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Follow-Up Study of a Nonrandomized Controlled Trial

Self-efficacy, an important aspect of social cognitive theory [23], is an crucial determinant of exercise persistence and outcomes; interventions based on self-efficacy can promote exercise participation [27]. The effectiveness of peer support interventions for physical activity is often explained by social cognitive theory [28].

An Exergames Program for Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes: Qualitative Study of Acceptability

An Exergames Program for Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes: Qualitative Study of Acceptability

I feel like when I exercise my blood sugars are more stable throughout the day, so exercise usually is a part of my daily routine. Almost all participants said that an external barrier to being physically active was having other priorities like work, school, extracurricular activities, and other obligations like taking care of younger siblings or house chores. Many of the participants mentioned having unstable glucose levels and other medical conditions (such as asthma) as internal barriers to PA.

Impact of a Light Volleyball Intervention Program on Improving Physical Attributes of Older Adults in Hong Kong: Preliminary Study of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Impact of a Light Volleyball Intervention Program on Improving Physical Attributes of Older Adults in Hong Kong: Preliminary Study of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Compared with the team-based LVB, Taichi is an individual exercise, which may lead to differing effects on older adults’ health and quality of life [22]. Prior research suggests that older adults with greater social support are more likely to continue exercising regularly [23,24]. Community-based group physical activity interventions with increased social support have also been associated with greater beneficial effects and program adherence.

Feasibility and Cultural Adaptation of a Community-Engaged Physical Activity Intervention for Hispanic Older Adults: Pilot Study

Feasibility and Cultural Adaptation of a Community-Engaged Physical Activity Intervention for Hispanic Older Adults: Pilot Study

However, older Hispanic adults engage in PA at significantly lower rates than their White counterparts [26] in part due to institutional (less information or education about PA, financial constraints, and lower access to health care), societal (caregiving responsibilities, lack of childcare, and poor spousal support), and environmental barriers (weather, less access to green spaces, facilities, or safe places to exercise) [27,28].

Feasibility and Effects of a Gait Assistance and Gait Resistance Training Program Using a Walking-Assist Wearable Robot for Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Single-Group, Pre-, and Posttest Study

Feasibility and Effects of a Gait Assistance and Gait Resistance Training Program Using a Walking-Assist Wearable Robot for Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Single-Group, Pre-, and Posttest Study

Wearing appearance and application of the wearable robot in an outdoor walking group exercise. The gait assistance and gait resistance training program lasted 6 weeks and consisted of biweekly group exercise sessions. The gait assistance mode can be configured at 3 intensity levels, with level 1, level 2, and level 3 corresponding to peak assistance torques of approximately 4.0 Nm, 5.0 Nm, and 6.0 Nm, respectively.

Clinical Efficacy of Multimodal Exercise Telerehabilitation Based on AI for Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Efficacy of Multimodal Exercise Telerehabilitation Based on AI for Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: Randomized Controlled Trial

In exercise therapy, the combination of flexibility and strength training (the basic composition of multimodal exercise) has been shown to be the most effective intervention for people with CLBP [11,12]. Exercise therapy can be practiced in medical institutions or at home. However, due to insufficient resources, it is difficult to carry out exercise therapy in medical institutions on a large scale.

Testing an Innovative Gait Training Program in Immersive Virtual Reality for Healthy Older Adults: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Testing an Innovative Gait Training Program in Immersive Virtual Reality for Healthy Older Adults: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Each training session will consist of a warm-up period (10 min), main exercise (45 min), and cool-down period (5 min). Participants will adapt their locomotion to uneven terrain. They will negotiate natural obstacles such as avoiding a rock or crossing over a tree root, thus improving their gait adaptability capacities. Sessions will be provided by a coach from a multisport club proposing programs of physical activity adapted to older adults.

Effects of Mobile Health Care App "Asmile" on Physical Activity of 80,689 Users in Osaka Prefecture, Japan: Longitudinal Observational Study

Lifestyle-related diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and hypertension, are influenced by daily eating and exercise habits, which contribute to their onset and progression [1-6]. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential for preventing these diseases. Several studies have reported that increasing step counts and physical activity improve mortality risk, cardiovascular disease, and dementia [7,8]. However, improving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is difficult.
