Monitoring Energy Balance in Breast Cancer Survivors Using a Mobile App: Reliability Study

Monitoring Energy Balance in Breast Cancer Survivors Using a Mobile App: Reliability Study

To date, several m Health apps have been developed to promote healthy lifestyles in the general population [26-30], and for some pathologies, such as cardiac rehabilitation [31], weigh loss interventions for endometrial carcinoma [32], and exercise and nutrition counseling for breast cancer survivors [33].

Exploring the Specific Needs of Persons with Multiple Sclerosis for mHealth Solutions for Physical Activity: Mixed-Methods Study

Persons with MS and HPs were in agreement: customizing PA to meet a patient’s individual need determines the success or failure of an exercise program. Flexibility and engagement are required. Fatigue and fatigue management issues were raised over and over again. Persons with MS reported that, as they went along their activities of daily life, they accumulated more and more fatigue. In this way, one participant stated that, "Fatigue ate away their life."

National Food, Nutrition, and Physical Activity Survey of the Portuguese General Population (2015-2016): Protocol for Design and Development

For PA, the harmonization of procedures in Europe is still under discussion, but having information on different domains such as overall activity level, structured leisure-time physical exercise, and sedentary behaviors could be useful for supporting the estimation of indicators and to better develop new population interventions.

The SMART Study, a Mobile Health and Citizen Science Methodological Platform for Active Living Surveillance, Integrated Knowledge Translation, and Policy Interventions: Longitudinal Study

ALR envisions physical activity (PA) beyond exercise to include any movement in free living conditions in any environment (ie, home, school, work, and neighborhood). ALR focuses on both PA and SB, as these two behaviors are separate entities [5]. Accumulating high PA does not preclude one from accumulating high SB as well, and it is important to capture these distinct behaviors together because of their interrelationship [6].

Effect of Rebound Exercises and Circuit Training on Complications Associated with Type 2 Diabetes: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Effect of Rebound Exercises and Circuit Training on Complications Associated with Type 2 Diabetes: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Exercise has been documented as effective in the management of MSKP; however, there is no consensus regarding the type of exercises that improve MSKP. The effectiveness of exercise in reducing MSKP as well as depression and in improving respiratory function among individuals with type 2 diabetes has not been documented. Rebound exercise is a type of exercise that can aid the management of type 2 diabetes [17] and is likely to improve MSKP and depression.

Adapting the Wii Fit Balance Board to Enable Active Video Game Play by Wheelchair Users: User-Centered Design and Usability Evaluation

Data collection took place at Lakeshore Foundation (Birmingham, Alabama, USA) Exercise and Sport Science Laboratory, which houses a variety of equipment dedicated to comprehensive health promotion and sport science research. For the purposes of this study, participants came to the laboratory for 3 visits. Our protocol article described the study procedures in detail [30].
