Coordination Disorder

Introduction and Aim:  Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by de?cits in both ?ne and gross motor coordination which has a signi?cant impact on a child’s activities of daily living or school productivity. So, the study aims to find the effect of aerobic exercise training on anxiety in children with developmental coordination disorder. Only very few studies have so far examined the psychological benefits of aerobic exercise in children with DCD who are already at a higher risk for anxiety problems. Materials and Methods: The school going children in Chennai district will be selected by convenient sampling method from the above-mentioned study setting based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria after a clear explanation about the study to the parents and teachers of the child with the inform consent an ascent will be obtained. Then the parents of the children are subjected to DCD-O7 questionnaire for the data collection. Results: Statistical Analysis made with quantitative data revealed statistically significant difference between pre and post-test values. Results of this current study provide support for the beneficial effects of aerobic exercise on reducing anxiety in children population. Conclusion: From the Result it has been concluded that the aerobic exercise showed the better result for reducing the increased level of anxiety in children with developmental coordination disorder. Hence this technique can be used for reducing anxiety of the DCD children and also to improve their quality of life, academic outcomes and physical activity. This study is the first study which has attempted to explore the relationship between aerobic exercise and anxiety in DCD Children.

The Impact

Introduction Affecting 5–6% of children, developmental coordination disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by poor motor coordination and difficulty learning motor skills. Although quantitative studies have suggested that children with developmental coordination disorder experience reduced quality of life, no known qualitative studies have reported what daily life is like from their perspective. Method Guided by an inductive realistic approach and using semi-structured, individual interviews, 13 children (8–12 years) were asked to describe what life is like in their own words. Three researchers coded interviews manually to identify relevant content. An experienced qualitative researcher conducted a second, in-depth thematic analysis using NVivo to identify patterns and themes. Findings Two themes – milestones as millstones and the perils of printing – illuminated participants’ challenges in completing everyday activities at home and at school. The third theme – more than a motor problem – revealed the social and emotional impact of these struggles and from being excluded from play. The fourth theme – coping strategies – described their efforts to be resilient. Conclusion Parents, educators, physicians, and therapists working with children with developmental coordination disorder must recognize how their quality of life is affected by the physical and emotional toll of their efforts to participate successfully in daily activities.

Hypothesis: Weight gained in response to aerobic exercise represents an increase in lean mass. Methods: Participants from the exercise group (n=68) of the Inflammation and Exercise (INFLAME) study had fat mass, lean mass, and weight measured at baseline and at follow-up. Fat mass and lean mass were measured using DXA. Changes in lean mass and fat mass were quantified across tertiles of weight change in the exercise training group and were analyzed using generalized linear models with adjustment for baseline value. Results: are presented as least squares means with 95% confidence intervals. Results: Overall, participants exhibited a mean (range) weight change of –0.73 kg (–9.00, 7.00; n=68) following exercise training. Tertiles of mean (range) weight change were: tertile 1 (most weight loss) –3.40 kg (–9.00,–1.50; n=23), tertile 2 (some weight loss) –0.70 kg (–1.30, –0.10; n=22), and tertile 3 (weight gain) 1.93 kg (0, 7.00; n=23). For those in tertile 3, we observed a significant increase (p<0.0001) in lean mass of 0.91 kg (95% CI, 0.48, 1.34) compared to those who lost weight −0.85 kg (−1.28,−0.42) in tertile 1 and −0.52 kg (−0.97,−0.08) in tertile 2. However, no significant difference in lean mass change was seen between the two weight loss tertiles. We also observed a significant increase in fat mass in participants who gained weight (tertile 3) 1.07 kg (0.41, 1.73) while those who lost the most weight (tertile 1) −2.55 kg (−3.21,−1.89) had a significant decrease in fat mass. Participants who experienced some weight loss (tertile 2) showed no significant change in fat mass, −0.24 kg (−0.91, 0.44). Conclusion: Weight gained with aerobic exercise training cannot be attributed to increased lean mass only. Our findings suggest that adults who gained weight with exercise showed significant increases in both fat and lean mass.

Developmental coordination disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder primarily characterized by motor coordination significantly below that expected for an individual’s age, in the absence of neurological or intellectual deficits. This poorer coordination has a significant negative impact on activities of daily living and individual well-being. While it is currently understood that the root cause of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) likely lies in the development of the brain, there is currently no consensus into the precise nature of this neurological basis of the disorder. The aim of this chapter is to outline our current understanding of DCD from a developmental cognitive neuroscience perspective. It begins by briefly describing the presentation of DCD, before moving on to outline the current neuroscientific hypotheses and the evidence supporting them. The chapter concludes with an exploration of current issues in the field and potential future directions for research into the developmental cognitive neuroscience of DCD.

Background: Limited energy intake with physical activity is effective to reduce health problems associated with obesity. It has been shown that PYY3-36 level increased after intense exercise. This study investigated effect of exercise therapy on appetite suppression and weight loss among obese and/or overweight women. Methods: There was a quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design, two groups (control-exercise) study. Study population was overweight or obese women with 20-34 years old and body mass index 27-34 kg/m2. 13 women were randomly assigned in 2 groups (exercise group with 8 weeks of aerobic exercise training (n=7) and control group (n=6)). Weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, lipid profile, cortisol and PYY3-36 were measured at baseline and end of the study. Results: In baseline of study, there was no significant difference across the groups in factors mean (P>0.05).In control group, after 8 weeks, there was no significant difference in variables.(P>0.05) However, In exercise group significant decrease was observed in BMI, WHR, PYY3-36, TG, CHOLESTROL(TC) and LDL, compared to control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Aerobic exercise within the 80% of heart rate reserve is beneficial in lipid profile, appetite management and modified anthropometric factors. These studies demonstrate that a cortisol change is not along with PYY3-36 changes. We suggest the longer exercise training for this purpose.

Background: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1a) and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) are significant indicators of obesity and other metabolic disorders. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the regulation of the concentrations of PGC-1a and SIRT1 protein in the soleus muscle by aerobic exercise training in obese Wistar rats. Methods: This study was conducted on 24 obese male rats, which were randomly categorized into three groups of control, medium-intensity training (28 m/min), and high-intensity training (34 m/min) after obesity induction through a high-fat diet. A series of aerobic trainings in five sessions of 60-minute aerobic training per week was performed for eight weeks. Data analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA to examine the mean differences between the groups. In addition, Tukey’s post-hoc test was used for the paired comparisons of the groups. Results: Significant differences were observed in the concentrations of the PGC-1a (P < 0.001) and SIRT1 proteins between the study groups (P < 0.001). Tukey’s post-hoc test revealed a significant difference between the moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and control groups (P < 0.01) regarding their mean concentration of the PGC-1a protein. However, the high- and moderate-intensity groups showed no difference in this regard (P < 0.028). Moreover, there was a significant difference in the concentration of the SIRT1 protein between the moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and control groups (P < 0.02), and the high-intensity training and control groups (P < 0.005). Conclusions: According to the results, aerobic exercise training could activate SIRT1 and PGC-1a and might enhance mitochondrial biogenesis in the subcutaneous fat. Therefore, aerobic training is recommended as a therapeutic approach to obesity and several other metabolic diseases.

Chronic Psychosocial Stress

Abstract Objectives Researchers have begun delivering mindfulness and aerobic exercise training concurrently on the premise that a combination intervention will yield salutary outcomes over and above each intervention alone. An estimate of the effect of combination training on chronic psychosocial stress in a nonclinical population has not been established. The objective of this study was to establish protocol feasibility in preparation of a definitive RCT targeting healthy individuals, and to explore the preliminary effect of combination training on reducing chronic psychosocial stress in this population. Methods Twenty-four participants were allocated to a single-arm pre-post study and subjected to 16 weeks of concurrent mindfulness psychoeducation and aerobic exercise training. Feasibility criteria were collected and evaluated. Within-group changes in chronic psychosocial stress, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and cardiorespiratory fitness were also assessed. Primary analyses were based on 17 participants. Results Retention rate, response rate, recruitment rate, and sample size analyses indicate a definitive trial is feasible for detecting most effects with precision. There was also a decline in our primary dependent measure of chronic psychosocial stress (dpretest = −0.56, 95% CI [ −1.14,−0.06]). With regard to secondary measures, there was an increase in the use of cognitive reappraisal, and a reduction in use of maladaptive emotion regulation strategies. We are insufficiently confident to comment on changes in mindfulness and aerobic capacity $\left (\dot {V}O_{2max}\right)$ V ̇ O 2 max . However, there were subgroup improvements in aerobic economy at submaximal exercise intensities. Conclusions We recommend a definitive trial is feasible and should proceed. Trial registration ANZCTR (ID: ACTRN12619001726145). Retrospectively registered December 9, 2019.
