Prospective Controlled Study

ObjectivesWe examined whether daily physical activity (PA) during compulsory school encourages children to be more physically active during the intervention and 4 years after termination of the programme.MethodsThis prospective controlled intervention study followed the same 124 children (81 children in an intervention group and 43 controls) aged 7.7±0.6 (mean±SD) during a 7-year PA intervention and 4 years after the intervention when the children were 18.7±0.3 years old. The intervention included daily school physical education (PE) (200 min/week), whereas the controls continued with the Swedish standard of 60 min/week. Using a questionnaire, we gathered data about total PA, leisure time PA and sedentary activities (SA). Group comparisons are adjusted for age and gender, and data are provided as means with 95% CIs.ResultsAt baseline, we found similar duration of PA and SA between groups. After a mean of 7 years with intervention, the intervention group was more physically active than the controls (+4.5 (2.9 to 6.0) hours/week), whereas SA was similar (+0.6 (−2.5 to 3.9) hours/week). Four years beyond the intervention, the intervention group was still more physically active than the controls (2.7 (0.8 to 4.7) hours/week), and SA was still similar (−3.9 (−9.7 to 1.7) hours/week).ConclusionsIntervention with daily school PE throughout compulsory school is associated with higher duration of PA not only during the intervention but also 4 years after termination of the programme.

Study objective. The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility of a Physical Activity Intervention for Loneliness (PAIL) in community-dwelling older adults at risk of loneliness. Methods. Study design was a 12-week randomized controlled feasibility trial (RCT). Participants were 25 (mean age 68.5(8.05) years, range 60-92) healthy, inactive, community-dwelling older adults at risk for loneliness. The intervention consisted of group outdoor walking sessions with health education workshops once weekly, with a wait-list control condition. Estimation of recruitment, retention and adherence were feasibility outcomes. Body mass index, blood pressure, physical activity, and psychosocial variables were secondary outcomes. Results. Forty-eight participants were recruited over 4 months with a recruitment rate of 52.1% (25/48); 52% (25/48) met the inclusion criteria and 100% (25/25) were randomized into the intervention (N=12) and wait-listed (WL) control groups (N=13). At 12 weeks, 10/12 (83.3%; 95% CI 55.20 to 95.30) intervention and 10/13 (76.9%; 95% CI 49.74 to 91.82) control participants completed final assessments. The average attendance rate was 69.2% for the intervention group (range 25% – 91.7%) and 55% (range 25% – 91.7%) among controls. The a priori recruitment criteria for progression was not met. The retention rate satisfied the criteria of the study. No serious adverse events occurred. Conclusions. Community-dwelling older adults at risk of loneliness can safely participate in physical activity intervention for loneliness. However, to progress into a large-scale RCT, the design and methodology would need to be changed.

TPS506 Background: Exercise during chemotherapy (CT) is a promising strategy to reduce fatigue and improve health-related quality of life (QoL). It has been shown feasible and efficient in various cancers, including at advanced stage. Effects of physical activity in advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have never been explored to date. We aim to evaluate the effects of a physical activity intervention in this setting. Methods: Randomized national multicentric interventional study to test the efficacy of an unsupervised home-based 16-week physical exercise program. Specificities of PDAC for physical activity program implementation will be taken into account (physical activity partner instead of patients groups, nutritional management). Main inclusion criteria: histologically confirmed, unresectable PDAC; scheduled for CT; WHO PS 0-2; age ≥ 18; physical activity partner. Two study arms: intervention group invited for the exercise program (aerobic and resistance exercises) in addition to usual care; control group receiving usual care alone. Primary objective: effects on fatigue (MFI-20) and health-related QoL (EORTC-QLQ-C30) at week 16, unified as co-primary endpoint. Secondary objectives: effects on pain, anxiety and depression, nutritional status, insulin resistance, CT tolerance, survival; adherence to the program. Number of patients: 200. PDAC patients are strongly affected by fatigue, thus they are expected to benefit from a physical activity intervention. Moreover, exercise may have a beneficial effect on tumor outcomes, by reducing insulin resistance and insulin/IGF-1 secretions. Such intervention may appear challenging because of multiple cancer-related symptoms (fatigue, depression, pain, denutrition) that can appear as barriers to physical activity. Conversely, we hypothesize that a physical exercise program, by taking into account PDAC specificities, may improve symptoms and health-related QoL. If this intervention is proven to be feasible and effective, such standardized physical exercise programs might be proposed in complement to CT in patients with advanced PDAC as a logical next step.

Variants within the FTO gene are important determinants of body mass index (BMI), but their role in determination of BMI changes after combined dietary/physical activity intervention is unclear. We have analyzed 107 unrelated overweight non-diabetic Czech females (BMI over 27.5 kg/m2, age 49.2±12.3 years). FTO variants rs17817449 (first intron) and rs17818902 (third intron) were genotyped. The life style modification program (10 weeks) consisted of an age-matched reduction of energy intake and exercise program (aerobic exercise 4 times a week, 60 min each). The mean BMI before intervention was 32.8±4.2 kg/m2 and the mean achieved weight loss was 4.8±3.5 kg (5.3±3.5 %, max. –15.5 kg, min. +2.0 kg, p<0.01). No significant association between BMI decrease and FTO variants was found. Also waist-to-hip ratio, body composition (body fat, water, active tissue), lipid parameters (total, LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides) glucose and hsCRP changes were independent on FTO variants. FTO variants rs17817449 and rs17818902 are not associated with BMI changes after combined short time dietary/physical activity intervention in overweight females.

BACKGROUND background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of endocrine disorders which initially appears in puberty. OBJECTIVE The aim of this protocol is to describe the design of a study aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of life style training programs improving the polycystic ovarian syndrome of adolescents. METHODS Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted to examine the effectiveness of school-based lifestyle- training programs aiming to improve PCOS by modification of behavioral habit, dietary intake and physical activity. Questionnaires, anthropometric measurements and lab tests will be used to assess program targets. RESULTS Results: Changes in anthropometric indices, clinical, and biochemical parameters in PCOS and healthy adolescents before and after intervention in intervention and control groups will be analyzed. CONCLUSIONS Conclusion: It is of crucial importance that the school environment can provide motivation and challenging intervention programs for students to promote adolescents’ behavioral habits, dietary intake and physical activity and prevent the emergence of reproductive health problems in adult women.
