▼ This study examined the accuracy of non-maximal tests: the Talk Test (TT), Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) extrapolation, Rockport Walking Test (RWT) and non-
exercise VO2max prediction equation for predicting
exercise capacity (VO2max and VT). Subjects (N=20) were 18-50 yrs. of low to moderate fitness level. Subjects performed three
exercise sessions. Test 1 was a maximal incremental test to measure VO2max and VT. Test 2 was a submaximal incremental
exercise test without respiratory gas exchange measurements, using the TT and RPE. Test 3 was the RWT. Also, VO2max was calculated using the non-
exercise prediction equation of Matthews et al. (1997). The results showed that there was no significant difference between measured VO2max and predicted VO2max using the non-
exercise equation, extrapolation to RPE19 and the RWT. However, measured VO2max was significantly less than predicted VO2max using extrapolation to RPE 20 (p≤0.05). There was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the VO2 at VT, the LP, and EQ stages of the TT, and at RPE13 and RPE14. However, the VO2 at RPE 15 was significantly higher than VO2 at VT (p≤0.05). In conclusion, the results showed that the non-maximal methods could be used as primary methods for
exercise prescription and outcome assessment.

▼ This graduate project details the development, implementation, and evaluation of a sixweek Logan Strides program, for the Logan Middle School in La Crosse, WI. The program was borne out of adolescent and community need. The creation of the five different weekly lesson plans was guided by the Purdue Extension-Healthy Body Image: A Lesson Plan for Middle School Students, the project author's research on related literature, along with her professional and personal experience, and a Logan Middle Teacher. The program experience, targeted vulnerabilities for that age group, along with promoting physical activity and healthful nutrition choices. At the end of the Logan Strides program was the opportunity for the students to participate in a local 5K. The program was assessed weekly with process evaluations, as well as a matched pre- and post-assessment, and lastly with a post-program questionnaire. The findings from the evaluations revealed participants' positive behavior change, healthful habits, and improved body image. Recommendations were drawn from the program findings and conclusions. The project author intended to have the health promotion program continue at Logan Middle School in the following school years, with volunteer help, and to provide an available guide for the development of similar programs in the future.

▼ D.Phil.
Asthma exemplifies a major medical concern and is a considerable cause of morbidity and mortality globally and in South Africa. Biokineticists have in the past primarily prescribed aerobic modes of exercise to asthmatics regardless of other modes of exercise that could be used in the management of asthma, each with their own unique benefits. The aim of this investigation was to develop a management model from a biokinetic perspective for the management of asthma in moderate, persistent asthmatics. The present study utilised a quantitative, comparative, research trial making use of a pre-test, eight-week intervention period and a post-test. Eighty-eight sedentary moderate, persistent asthmatics were matched by age and gender and randomly assigned to either a non-exercising control group (NE) (n = 22), an aerobic exercise group (AE) (n = 22), a diaphragmatic inspiratory resistive breathing group (DR) (n = 22) or an aerobic exercise combined with diaphragmatic resistive breathing group (CE) (n = 22). Dependent t-Tests and rank-ordered analyses revealed that five of the 13 pulmonary function parameters assessed were found to be significantly altered following the AE and CE training, with the CE training having a larger impact than AE training. The DR training resulted in improvements in four of the 13 pulmonary function parameters. The CE and AE training were also found to be equally effective at altering physical work capacity, while the DR training proved ineffective at altering physical work capacity. The CE training proved to be the most effective at improving the abdominal and chest wall excursion parameters. The DR training was found to be the least effective mode of exercise training to impact favourably on abdominal and chest wall excursion parameters. The DR and CE training had a similar significant and favourable change in respiratory muscle flexibility followed by the AE training only impacting on nine of the 11 respiratory muscle flexibility parameters. Regarding the respiratory muscle strength, despite AE and CE training altering 18 of the 20 parameters, CE training was found to be more effective. DR training only altered 16 of the 20 respiratory muscle strength parameters. The DR training was the only modality to alter a postural parameter, albeit unfavourably. Even though the DR and AE training significantly altered four of the six anthropometric parameters, the AE training proved to be superior, while CE training proved least effective as it altered v only three of the measured anthropometric parameters. The overall success of the CE training exemplified the fact that an optimal training regime for the management of asthma may require both an aerobic exercise and diaphragmatic inspiratory resistive breathing component. Exercise training, and specifically CE training is a cost-effective, home-based asthma management programme that may reduce the public health burden of this disease and provide the patient with alternative treatment options. CE training should form the cornerstone in the…

▼ The aim of this study was to assess the effects of a twelve-week hydrotherapy group exercise programme on selected health-related fitness variables in older women with type II diabetes mellitus. This study included the testing of blood glucose levels, blood anthropometrical profile, body mass, height, body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, upper body flexibility, lower body flexibility, grip strength, upper body and lower body muscular strength and endurance as well as aerobic endurance. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used for this study utilising a quasiexperimental research design. A comparison group pre-test and post-test experimental design was employed at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Biokinetics and Sports Science Unit. Approximately 16 senior female participants took part in the study. Participants were identified through convenience sampling and snowball sampling, of which, all the participants were clinically diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus and had completed the study. The hydrotherapy participants (experimental group), took part in water-based (hydrotherapy) exercises three times a week for a period of twelve weeks. The hydrotherapy exercises began with a light half-hour workout per session and were progressively increased in intensity, duration, and number of the exercises performed. The participants not participating in the hydrotherapy exercises (control group) were instructed to remain sedentary throughout the duration of the intervention period. The dependant variables were gathered as raw data and analysed using descriptive statistics to form the means, standard deviations, medians, minimum and maximum values. Post hoc analysis was performed to determine whether differences existed between the experimental group and control group. Cohen’s D test was used to determine pre- and post-test differences for both groups to determine practical significance. An analysis of the results revealed significant improvements in some of the selected health and physical fitness parameters such as, upper body and lower body flexibility, upper and lower body muscular strength and endurance, as well as aerobic endurance. iii The aim and objectives of the study in exploring the effect of hydrotherapy as an intervention strategy to promote health and physical fitness in persons with type II diabetes mellitus were supported by the data collected in the pre-test and post-test analyses of the variables.

▼ The impact of acute resistance exercise (RE) on glycaemia in type 1 diabetes (T1DM) individuals is poorly understood. Yet, such knowledge would have great use in improving our understanding of blood glucose control during and after the performance of RE. Increasing research in this area might help minimise complications associated with blood glucose vulnerability and potentially maximise health benefits related to RE which are known to be obtained by people without diabetes. The overarching aim of this thesis was to examine the impact of acute RE on glycaemia in T1DM individuals, and promote confidence in people with T1DM to partake in this form of exercise and lead a more physically active lifestyle. Exercise volume, or the total weight lifted during a RE session, is a primary component in the design of a RE session. Therefore, Chapter 3 examined the acute impact of manipulating RE session volume in T1DM individuals. The results demonstrate that exercise volume is an important factor in determining the blood glucose responses to RE; specifically, blood glucose concentrations rose above rest for one hour after one and two sets of similar intensity RE, but this exercise-induced hyperglycaemia was attenuated by increasing the volume of exercise by addition of a similar intensity third set of RE. Additionally, performing morning RE after an overnight fast and in the absence of rapid-acting insulin, did not induce acute hypoglycaemia, ketoacidosis or raise a marker of muscle damage, but caused metabolic acidosis in a dose-dependent fashion. Exercise intensity is a characteristic that is integral to the design of a RE session, and this characteristic might play a role in explaining the exercise-induced hyperglycaemia caused by the thirty minute (two-set) RE sessions in Chapter 3. The aim of Chapter 4 was to examine the impact of manipulating exercise intensity in T1DM individuals. The findings from this study demonstrate that performing a low intensity RE session evoked a similar magnitude of post-exercise hyperglycaemia and metabolic acidosis than a higher intensity RE session, when sessions were matched for total weight lifted. In an attempt to alleviate the consistent exercise-induced hyperglycaemia presented by the two-set RE session, the aim of Chapter 5 was to implement a modified algorithm that delivers an individualized dose of rapid-acting insulin after morning RE, to counter acute post-exercise hyperglycaemia in T1DM individuals. The results demonstrate that post-exercise rapid-acting insulin injection delivered by means of an algorithm resulted in reductions to post-RE hyperglycaemia without the occurrence of hypoglycaemia during two hours after exercise. However, during the subsequent twenty hours of freely living conditions, T1DM individuals remained unprotected from post-exercise hypoglycaemia as per a control condition. Overall, the findings of this thesis underpin some important factors that determine the glycaemic and metabolic responses to acute performance of RE, which may facilitate the better…

▼ The overarching aim of this thesis was to examine factors that affect post-exercise glycaemia and contribute to minimising the risk of hypoglycaemia after exercise. An inability to regulate circulating insulin concentrations is considered the primary gluco-regulatory defect within T1DM. Therefore, the aim of chapter 3 was to examine the effects of pre-exercise rapid-acting insulin reductions on blood glucose responses before and after running in T1DM individuals, to test the hypothesis that reducing pre-exercise insulin dose may help preserve post-exercise glycaemia. The results demonstrate that a 75% reduction to pre-exercise rapidacing insulin dose best preserved blood glucose before and after exercise, without increasing the risk of ketoacidosis, and reduced the risk of hypoglycaemia in free living conditions for 24 hours following running. An important factor determining blood glucose concentrations and subsequent patterns of fuel oxidation is the rate of appearance of carbohydrate into the circulation. Potentially, low GI carbohydrates may raise blood glucose less and increase the percentage contribution of lipids as a fuel because of a slower digestion. Therefore, the aim of chapter 4 was to examine the metabolic and blood glucose responses to ingestion of a high or low GI carbohydrate, combined with a 75% reduced insulin dose, before, during and for 24 hours after running. The results demonstrate that compared to a high GI carbohydrate, the low GI carbohydrate increased blood glucose concentrations less before exercise and maintained blood glucose better for 24 hours after running, via lower carbohydrate and higher lipid oxidation rates during the latter stages of running. After manipulating both the insulin dose and the pre-exercise carbohydrate GI, to improve post-exercise blood glucose concentrations, the timing of the ingestion of carbohydrate (alongside a reduced insulin dose) before exercise is an important factor which may further refine these strategies. Therefore, chapter 5 examined the metabolic and blood glucose responses to alterations in the timing of carbohydrate feeding and insulin administration prior to running. Our results demonstrated that administration of both a reduced rapid-acting insulin dose and low GI carbohydrate 30 minutes before exercise improved glycaemia for 24 hours after running, by reductions in carbohydrate oxidation, leading to increased carbohydrate availability post-exercise.

▼ This study was designed to investigate the factors
that contribute to addressing exercise in psychotherapy.
Self-identified psychotherapists (n=94) completed surveys relating
to: the frequency and type of conversations they have with clients
regarding exercise; the frequency and length of time in which they
personally engage in exercise; attitudes towards the use of
exercise in treating and preventing psychological disorders;
perceived knowledge on the effects of exercise on psychological
disorders; and potential barriers to addressing exercise in
therapy. Addressing exercise with clients was shown to be common
among participants. Furthermore, attitudes were favourable, few
barriers to addressing exercise in therapy were identified, and
perceived knowledge on how exercise affects psychological disorders
was correlated with addressing exercise in therapy. The findings
are indicative of the importance of training psychotherapists on
the psychological effects of exercise, and contribute to the
limited information we have on psychotherapists’ conversations on
exercise in therapy.

▼ Insulin resistance is a precursor to type II diabetes mellitus and in conjunction with dyslipidaemia, hypertension, and obesity, these abnormalities constitute the metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance usually develops before these other diseases and therefore identifying and successfully treating insulin resistant patients may have potentially great preventive value. Insulin resistance, obesity, and subsequently type II diabetes mellitus have increased dramatically and have reached epidemic proportions. The incidence of diabetes, and in particular type II diabetes mellitus, is increasing in developing countries and throughout the world and this is mainly as a result of increasingly sedentary lifestyle and obesity in an aging population. The specific aim of this study was to explore and describe the effect of a 14-week strength-based resistance training programme on insulin resistance amongst individuals aged 25 to 68 years, who are pre-diabetic, have T2DM, and/or are overweight. The research approach used in this investigation was explorative, experimental, and quantitative in nature. The quasi-experimental design consisted of a pre-test and post-test for an experimental and comparison group who were chosen through convenience and snowball sampling. A total of 30 participants were involved in this study, 15 participants in each group. The following dependent variables were selected, namely: body weight; BMI; body composition; waist-to-hip ratio; total cholesterol levels; triglyceride levels; HOMA-IR; and muscle strength for upper and lower body. Pre-and post-test analysis was performed at the Biokinetics and Sport Science Unit, located at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU). Blood samples of the participants were drawn by nurses at the Health Clinic at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University and these blood plasma samples were stored at the Department of Microbiology and Biochemistry at NMMU for later analysis of glucose and insulin. The experimental group trained three times per week for a period of fourteen weeks, performing strength training exercises with progressive increments in the intensity of the
exercise. The control group remained sedentary throughout the intervention period. Analysis of the data was conducted utilizing descriptive and inferential statistics. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used as a hypothesis-testing procedure to evaluate the mean differences. The following dependent variables showed a decrease in mean values: body weight, body mass index, body fat percentage, waist minimum, cholesterol and insulin. However these differences in results were not practically and statistically significant. The following dependent variables showed an increase in mean values: hip maximum, arm relaxed, arm flexed, thigh circumference, glucose and HOMA-IR. However these results were not practically and statistically significant. The mean differences in the plasma insulin level, pre- to post-test, between both groups indicated that a significant difference (t = -1.77, p = 0.044) existed…

▼ Focusing attention on an external cue (EF), as opposed to an internal focus of attention (IF), has been shown to improve reaction time (RT) for track and field athletes during a sprint start (Kovacs et al., 2018). The track sprint start is a rapid, discrete, whole body movement whereby athletes need to rely on a motor program that has all parameters specified before movement initiation. The purpose of this study was to address the question of whether improvements in a sprint start under an EF condition are dependent on the participants' skill level. Twelve collegiate track sprinters (age 20.8 ±1.7), and twelve collegiate non-sprint athletes (age 20.1±1.2) completed three testing sessions under EF, IF, and no focus instruction (NF) conditions. RT was recorded from the rear starting block. Muscle activation time (EMG) was recorded from the vastus lateralis muscles, and was used to determine pre-motor RT and motor RT. Mean RT was significantly shorter (p<0.001) for sprinters (227.7 ms) compared with non-sprinters (273.8 ms). Mean RT for sprinters was significantly shorter (p < 0.0001) under the EF (212.11 ms) compared with the IF (234.21 ms) and NF conditions (236.87 ms). Similarly, mean premotor RT under the EF condition (157.75 ms) was significantly shorter (p < 0.001) compared with the IF (181.90 ms) and NF (173.60 ms) conditions. No differences in RT and pre-motor RT across conditions were found for non-sprint athletes (p>0.05). Motor RT did not differ across the various focus of attention conditions (p>0.05) or across experimental groups (p>0.05). These results suggest that the beneficial effects of EF on dynamic whole-body movements are manifested at higher skill levels, and that adopting different types of attentional focus interferes with the efficiency of the movement planning processes. Improvement in RT likely originates at the level of central processes during movement preparation (pre-motor RT), and not at the level of peripheral processes associated with excitation-contraction coupling of the muscle fibers (motor RT).

▼ With the growing amount of evidence supporting the benefits of
exercise and nutrition for mental health and psychological well-being, it is interesting to note that mental health professionals may have a tendency not to recommend them to clients in
therapy. The purpose of the present study was to examine the current practices of professional psychologists, specifically clinical and counseling psychologists, with regard to whether and how often they suggest
exercise and nutrition to clients, what therapeutic methods or techniques they might use, and how much and what type of training and education they perceive may be necessary for psychologists to address these issues in
therapy. Participants were 17 licensed clinical and counseling psychologists holding either a master's or doctoral degree in psychology. They took part in individual, face to face, semi-structured interviews regarding their practices in discussing nutrition and
exercise in
therapy. Data were analyzed using post-positivist grounded theory and constant comparative analysis. Results produced themes that fell into one of four categories: Therapist Attributes, Client Attributes, Counseling Methods, and Therapist Health. A theoretical model was developed to describe if and how the therapist attributes and the client attributes related. This relationship influenced how participants would address nutrition and
exercise in
therapy. Various therapeutic approaches included inquiring about the client's current practices, providing psychoeducation, making clear recommendations, collaborating with the client and other professionals, and making appropriate referrals.

▼ A 25-year-old male patient presenting with subacromial impingement syndrome was seen for 12 physical
therapy treatment sessions, over 6 weeks, at an outpatient physical
therapy clinic. Treatment was provided by a student physical therapist under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist.
The patient was evaluated at the initial evaluation with goniometry, manual muscle testing, passive accessory intervertebral movements, modified scapular assistance test, and the quick disabilities of arm, shoulder, and hand questionnaire. A plan of care was established. The clinician and patient goals were to improve range of motion, strength, sitting posture, and dynamic scapular mobility in order to complete activities of daily living and return to participating in weight lifting and martial arts. Main interventions provided were manual
therapy, therapeutic
exercise, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation to restore upper extremity function.
The patient improved range of motion, strength, dynamic scapular mobility, and upper extremity function. The patient was discharged to home with a home
exercise program.

▼ D.Phil.
Chronic pain is a devastating problem and one of the leading causes of disability internationally with an estimated 25-30% of people in industrialised nations suffering from it. Various approaches are available for the treatment of chronic pain with exercise therapy is often the last resort, after all else has failed. The present study was motivated by the growing prevalence of chronic pain patients and the recent progress in pain science. This study made use of a quasi-experimental design where randomization was a function of participant convenience. It made use of a Pre-Test Post-Test battery consisting both of self-report questionnaires and of a physical assessment evaluating components of chronic pain patients’ experience prior to and following a combined therapeutic intervention programme of 12 sessions. Follow- up was at 12 months. The objectives were to integrate patient reconceptualization of pain by means of an active approach combining pain education and exercise therapy, and to determine the effect of a change in pain cognition on the outcome compared to a control group receiving exercise therapy only. A heterogeneous group of chronic pain patients were randomized into 2 groups who both received exercise therapy twice per week: the experimental group (80) received exercise therapy and a specific 3 hour pain education session with the active control group (74) only receiving exercise therapy. There were no differences in pain related or demographic characteristics between groups at baseline. Both groups had a significant reduction in pain perception after 12 exercise therapy sessions (P<0.05). After a follow up period of 12 months the experimental group sustained the same level of pain reduction (P<0.05). The control group maintained only some the acquired reduction in pain perception. In the experimental group an increased participation in physical activity was also found 12 months after the intervention. Exercise therapy significantly reduces the perception of pain in chronic pain patients after 12 therapy sessions, but the combination of pain education and exercise therapy better maintain these effects after a year. Key Words: chronic pain, exercise, pain education.

▼ Background: Obesity and osteoarthritis are two debilitating conditions that are increasing in prevalence. Obese populations are at an increased risk for developing osteoarthritis in later life. Exercise has been shown to be successful in improving both weight status and musculoskeletal pain, yet it remains unclear if there is an exercise intervention that results in improved weight status while preventing the development of osteoarthritis.
Objective: The purpose of this systematic review is to investigate the existence of a natural overlap in exercise prescription for obese and osteoarthritic populations and recommend an evidence-based exercise intervention for the management of weight and prevention of musculoskeletal pain.
Methods: A structured electronic review was conducted using the following electronic databases: MEDLINE, PubMed, and SPORTDiscus. Two searches were performed using the search strings “obes*” AND “exercise” AND “interven*” AND “musculoskeletal pain OR knee pain OR hip pain” and “osteoarth*” AND “exercise” AND “interven*” AND “musculoskeletal pain OR knee pain OR hip pain”. Studies were then reviewed using inclusion/exclusion criteria (exclusion criteria: menopausal, cancer, review, obesity related co-morbidities, animal studies; inclusion criteria: studies had to be randomised controlled trials, participants aged 18-50, include non-exercise control, and outcomes must include physical function or musculoskeletal pain). Included studies were ranked by change in measured outcome variables (descending order); a summary of recommended exercise prescription was based on common prescription used in the interventions with greatest change. A Downs and Black checklist was completed for all studies included in this review to assess methodological quality.
Results: Twenty-one studies met inclusion criteria and were included in this review (obesity n = 11; OA n = 7; obesity & OA n= 3). Exercise significantly improved weight status and/or musculoskeletal pain. Similarities in exercise intensity (40-80% VO2max), frequency (3 times per week), duration (30-60 minutes), and exercise mode (treadmill, cross-trainer, stationary bike, aquatic exercise) were observed between studies.
Conclusion: Substantial overlap in exercise prescription for obese and OA populations exist. These findings suggest that moderate intensity exercise for 30-60 minutes, 3 times per weeks can achieve effective improvements in weight and musculoskeletal pain. Exercise and weight loss are effective treatments for obesity and musculoskeletal symptoms and should be recommended to all at-risk individuals.

▼ Nuoruusiän idiopaattinen skolioosi (adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, AIS) on yleinen selkää käyristävä sairaus, jonka esiintyvyys on 1-3 % 10-18-vuotiailla nuorilla. Fysioterapeuttiset harjoitukset ovat pitkään olleet kiistanalaisia AIS:n hoidossa. Euroopan maissa on vaihtelevasti käytössä erilaisia fysioterapeuttisia menetelmiä, mutta yleisemmin lievään ja kohtalaiseen skolioosiin suositellaan tukiliivihoitoa.
Systemoidun katsauksen tarkoitus oli selvittää, millaista näyttöä fysioterapeuttisista harjoituksista on AIS:n hoidossa. Katsaukseen haettiin viimeisen 15 vuoden ajalta alkuperäistutkimukset AIS:n hoidosta fysioterapeuttisilla harjoituksilla. Kuusi tutkimusta täytti asetetut kriteerit.
Katsauksen tutkimuksissa Cobbin kulma pieneni harjoitusten avulla 1-8 astetta. Yksilöllisesti suunnitellut liikkeet, kuten selän aktiivinen oikaisu ja Schroth-menetelmä vaikuttivat tehokkaimmilta. Tulosten perusteella fysioterapeuttiset harjoitukset voisivat sopia lievän tai keskivaikean AIS:n hoitoon. Näyttö fysioterapeuttisten harjoitusten puolesta on kuitenkin heikkoa, sillä katsauksen tutkimukset olivat huonolaatuisia. Aiheesta tarvitaankin laadukkaampia kontrolloituja tutkimuksia, joissa verrataan fysioterapeuttisia harjoituksia tukiliivihoitoon.

▼ This thesis reports four studies, presented across five thesis Chapters, examining pathway from referral through to prescription of exercise referral schemes (ERS). The overall purpose of the research was to open the ‘black box’ and provide a rich description of key components of the ERS pathway. The studies presented in this thesis yield novel evidence about the ERS pathway and improves understanding of key components that influence the effectiveness of ERS. The research provides new knowledge about inconsistent reporting of ERS (study one), socio-demographic characteristics of non-attendees and attendees (study two), exercise prescription (FITT) and instructors’ perceptions of motivating people to exercise (study three), and primary care health professionals’ perceptions of PA promotion in primary care (study four). The overall purpose of the research was to open the ‘black box’ and provide a rich description of key components of the ERS pathway. Focusing solely on outcome measures is important, however, without recording the how’s and whys we may fail to identify best or current practice, judging effectiveness inappropriately.

▼ PURPOSE Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Engagement in exercise and physical activity (PA) produce positive effects in people with PD (PwPD), including improvements in motor and cognitive functions. PwPD are 1/3 less active than healthy adults and PA levels decline. Study aim was to evaluate feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy for PA levels, self-efficacy, motivation, and self-perception of performance.
DESIGN: Single arm cohort feasibility study was conducted over 4 months. An occupational therapist (OT) delivered 6 individual (remote or in-person) sessions to provide directed support regarding PA and exercise habits, with check-ins on the other weeks.
METHOD: Sessions utilized workbook-based approach to provide disease-specific education and guide goal setting. Fitbit Charge 2 devices were provided to track progress towards goals and to facilitate therapist coaching. Outcome measures included retention and adherence rates, implementation fidelity, intervention acceptability (TFA questionnaire and PAS-HCCQ), PA levels, time spent in planned versus unplanned activity (Brunel), exercise motivation (BREQ-2), self-efficacy (Norman scale), and perception of and satisfaction with active recreation (mCOPM). Mean differences (post-pre) were calculated for each participant for each measure and then a group mean change with 95% CI, as well as Cohen’s d to calculate effect size.
RESULTS: 61 individuals were contacted. 13 participants with Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) Stages I-II (mean (SD) age = 61.69 (9.14)) were enrolled. 92% of participants completed all 6 sessions. Intervention delivery had high fidelity and acceptability. Post-intervention improvements seen in self-efficacy (MD = 5.55; 95% CI -1.74-12.74; d = 0.33); identified regulation of motivation (MD = 0.21; 95% CI -0.14-0.55; d = 0.48); planned PA (MD =; 95% CI -0.28-0.98; d = 0.45); and % time in MVPA (MD = 0.79%; 95% CI 0.62-2.38; d = 0.49). Significant improvement in perceptions of performance (MD = 3.09; 95% CI 2.12-4.06; d = 1.63) and satisfaction (MD = .58; 95% CI 1.72-4.06; d = 1.63).
CONCLUSION: Findings suggest Pre-Active PD is feasible and acceptable for PwPD H&Y stage I-II, and may improve exercise levels, self-efficacy, motivation, and planned PA. Future research needed to address limitations and evaluate comparative effectiveness in larger sample size.

▼ ABSTRACT
Aim: This study compares the effect of a combination of an
exercise program and splinting with splinting alone on pain and activities in daily life (ADL) in patients osteoarthritis (OA) of the thumb base joint (CMC-1). Furthermore, this study investigates predictors for outcomes on pain and ADL in order to optimize healthcare for individual patients with CMC-1 OA.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted in eleven outpatient clinics for hand surgery and hand
therapy in the Netherlands. A combination of an
exercise program and splinting was compared with splinting alone using propensity score matching (PSM). Primary outcomes included pain and ADL at three months, measured with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Michigan Hand outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ). Linear mixed model analysis was used to study between-group differences and multiple regression analysis on baseline characteristics for the total
exercise program group was used in order to identify predictors for outcome.
Results: In total, 107 participants were included, of which 44 were matched using PSM. A larger decrease in VAS pain during physical load was found in the
exercise program group (35 points) compared to the splint group (19.5 points, p=0.012). Outcomes on the MHQ score showed no clinically relevant differences. Treatment of the dominant side, higher flexion of the first metacarpophalangeal joint, higher age and type of work with heavy physical labor predicted outcomes on pain or ADL for the total
exercise program group (N=85).
Conclusion: Superior results were found for the
exercise program group when compared to the splint group, indicating positive effects of an
exercise program. Furthermore, several predictors for outcomes on splinting combined with an
exercise program were identified. Future research should study
exercise programs and predictors of outcome in a larger sample and a more standardized setting.
Clinical Relevance: Applying
exercise programs in clinical practice appears to be beneficial for individual patients with CMC-1 OA.

▼ Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a progressive respiratory condition, significantly affects the lives of those managing its daily impact. Exercise is recognised as an important management strategy. This thesis investigates the addition of supervised exercise to the Stanford Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) in people with COPD. The CDSMP is a group-based program designed to facilitate the acquisition of self-management skills, and does not have an exercise component.
This thesis provides opportunity to consider theories of health behaviour change and the role of self-efficacy in the self-regulation of behaviours, such as exercise. The effect of the CDSMP on self-reported exercise was reviewed, finding a lack of published research concerning supervised exercise with the CDSMP.
To investigate the effect of supervised exercise with the CDSMP older adults were allocated to the CDSMP, with or without supervised exercise, in a parallel group randomised controlled clinical trial with a pre/post test design over two years. A mixed methods approach was used to provide a more detailed analysis of the effect of supervised exercise than one method alone, giving quantitative evidence enriched by the lived experience of participants. Objective outcomes included physical capacity (primary outcome), self-reported exercise, stage of change for exercise, exercise self-efficacy, shortness of breath, heath-related quality of life and self management behaviours. Change in outcomes between groups and within group was measured by appropriate statistical tests. Qualitative methods of enquiry using semistructured interviews and thematic analysis uncovered the lived experience of the people who participated in the CDSMP with or without supervised exercise.
Eighty-four participants were randomised. There were 15 withdrawals, due to ill health and other commitments. This thesis demonstrated a small statistically significant increase in physical capacity for the intervention and control groups, but no significant difference between them. However, the clinical significance of the within-group change was not reached. Further research is required in this area. There were no significant differences between groups for any secondary outcome, although analysis of effect sizes indicated that supervised exercise confers a benefit to those who participate: they exercised more frequently, for longer duration, had less breathlessness and improved quality of life physical component summary compared with those who did not have supervised exercise. However, neither one hour of weekly supervised exercise, in the absence of a structured home programme, nor the CDSMP alone, was sufficient to produce more than small improvements in outcomes.
Qualitative findings revealed participants bring to healthcare interactions a personal meaning of self-management defined by their lived experiences and strategies developed in response to living with COPD. Similar sources of motivation act across the CDSMP and supervised exercise, thereby…

▼ Background: Little is known about the impact cardiac
rehabilitation (CR) exercise programs have on daily functional
abilities. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of
CR on elderly patients’ ability to perform common household tasks.
Methodology: Twenty-two post myocardial infarction patients (10
female, 12 male; age 75 ± 6.3 years) were studied. Patients were
tested prior to entering and again after completion of a CR program
(20 combined aerobic + strength training sessions over 8 to 10
weeks; 45 min/day). Physical function was assessed using the
Continuous Scale – Physical Function Performance 10 test battery
(PFP-10). Results: Post-CR the global PFP-10 score increased
significantly (59 + 14 vs. 52 ± 17; p = 0.003). Prior to CR 7
patients scored above the threshold for independent living, as
defined by a global score ≥ 57 units. Post-CR, 12 patients scored
above the threshold. Conclusions: A 20 session exercise-based CR
program significantly enhanced the physical function of elderly
patients. More importantly, 55% of patients scored above the
threshold for independence post-CR, suggesting that CR may enhance
elderly patient’s ability to live independently.

Exercise assessment, counseling and training are not widely offered to patients with chronic kidney disease. Haemodialysis patient’s participation in exercise and an adequate assessment of exercise effects on haemodialysis outcome are needed so that more interventions can be developed to improve the well being of those patients with chronic kidney disease. Exercise is not routinely advocated in patients with end-stage renal disease receiving maintenance haemodialysis. Lack of widespread awareness of exercise in haemodialysis literature may be contributing to these shortcomings in clinical practice.
Purpose of the study
This study was aimed to establish the effect of exercise during haemodialysis on pedal oedema and solute removal. This is the first time that such a study was undertaken in dialysis units in South Africa.
Methodolgy
In a quasi-experimental design, thirty-four end-stage renal failure patients on three times weekly haemodialysis program from Bloemfontein and Newcastle MediClinic Renal Units participation in the study. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from Durban University of Technology Ethics Committee. Seventeen patients were in the intervention group (aged between 25 and 60) and seventeen in the control group (aged between 18 and 60). The intervention group did not exercise for the first three months of the study in order to establish a baseline period. Thereafter, exercising took place from the fourth to the ninth month. Patients pedaled on an exercise cushion for fifteen minutes every hour to achieve a total of sixty minutes of exercise over a four-hour dialysis session. Patients in the control group did not pedal on the exercise cushion during the nine-month study period. Pre and post haemodialysis measurements of creatinine, urea and potassium using the Alkaline Picrate, Urease and Ion Selective Electrode methods respectively were done for each patient monthly over the nine month period. Oedema of the lower limb was evaluated by measuring the right and left ankle circumference, in centimeters before and after dialysis. Urea Kt/V was also measured before and after haemodialysis for each patient over the study period.
Results
Statistical analysis of results showed a significant 30% reduction in urea levels and a 46% reduction in creatinine levels in the intervention group at the end of the nine month period, a 12% reduction in the potassium levels in the intervention group which was 4% more than the control group. The urea Kt/V in the intervention group showed a 9% greater reduction than the control group. There was a significant improvement in oedema of 45% of the right ankle for the first three months of exercise and thereafter there was a an increase in ankle size in the last three months which was a 13% reduction in oedema compared to baseline. There was a significant improvement in oedema of 60% of the left…

▼ Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD), bone
fragility, and an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture. The disease is systemic in
nature but potential solutions include exercises prescriptions that target the
clinically relevant sites of osteoporosis (hip and spine) to improve bone mass. The
aim of this dissertation was to determine if atypical loading and load magnitude
increased bone mass at the hip and spine, respectively, in young athletic women.
The first study sought to determine if six months of uncustomary loading in the
form of a "hip drop", increased BMD at the hip in young women (n=39, aged 20.2
± 1.3 years). The hip drop applied a direct side impact to the right greater
trochanter, the left hip was the control. The second study compared the spine BMD
response after six months of rowing training in experienced (n=16, aged 21.2 ± 1.2
years) and novice rowers (n=19, aged 19.5 ± 0.8 years) with a control group (n=14,
aged 19.2 ± 1.6 years). Bone mineral density at the hip and spine were measured in
the first and second studies, respectively. Results from the first study showed a
significant difference in BMD between hips at the femoral neck but there were no
side-to-side differences at the greater trochanter or the total hip. The second study
revealed that six months of rowing training increased spine BMD in the
experienced rowers (2.1%) but not in the novices (-0.05%).

▼ The aim of this study was to determine the effect of whole body vibration training on selected health and fitness parameters, including: blood glucose levels, blood pressure, anthropometric profile, muscular flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and aerobic endurance of persons with diabetes mellitus type II. The study was conducted in a descriptive, explorative manner utilizing a quasiexperimental design with an equistatic approach, employing match-pair design to participant grouping. The experimental design was a non-randomized two-group pre- and post-test design, in which approximately 16 male and female participants, who were chosen through convenience and snowball sampling with diabetes mellitus type II, completed the study. Pre- and post-test analysis was performed at the Biokinetics and Sport Science Unit. The whole body vibration training (experimental) group, trained three times a week for a period of ten weeks, performing exercises on the vibration platform with progressive increments in the intensity, duration, and number of the exercises. The control group remained sedentary throughout the intervention period. The dependant variables were analyzed using descriptive statistics. ANOVA was done to determine pre- and post-test differences for both the experimental and control groups for all the variables. Post-Hoc analysis was done to determine and compare differences which may have existed between the experimental and control groups, with practical significance being determined by Cohen’s D analysis. The analysis of the results revealed significant improvements in systolic blood pressure, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and aerobic endurance

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy to the thoracic spine or stretch and strengthening exercises (stretching the pectoralis major muscle and strengthening the rhomboid, middle and inferior trapezius muscles), versus the combined treatment of chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy to the thoracic spine in conjunction with the stretch and strengthening exercises. This would then establish which treatment approach was the most effective in improving postural kyphosis with regards to a change in thoracic curvature over time. Method: A total of thirty female participants volunteered to take part in this study. All the participants were between the ages of twenty and thirty nine. The participants were randomly placed into one of three groups, each group consisted of ten participants. Group 1 received chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy to the thoracic spine. Group 2 received chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy to the thoracic spine as well as stretch and strengthening exercises i.e. stretching the pectoralis major muscles and strengthening the rhomboid, middle and inferior trapezius muscles. Group 3 received stretch and strengthening exercises. The stretch and strengthening exercises were performed in the consultation rooms to ensure that the participants were complying with the treatment and doing the exercises properly. Procedure: In this study group 1 participants received treatment once a week for 6 weeks. Groups 2 and 3 participants received 3 treatments a week for 6 weeks. Postural advice was given to all 3 groups. One final follow-up visit was done in the 7th week where no treatment was administered but only data collection was done. Objective data was recorded at the beginning of the first, fourth and seventh consultations for Group 1 and the first, tenth and nineteenth consultations for groups 2 and 3. Objective data included the Flexicurve® Ruler measurements for the angle of kyphosis. Visual analysis was done by taking lateral (sagittal) view photographs at the beginning of the initial and final consultations. Results: Statistical analysis performed included the non-parametric tests to determine if significant results were found over time. The Friedman and Wilcoxon Signed Rank tests were performed for the intragroup analysis and the Kruskall-Wallis test for the intergroup analysis. Statistical analysis revealed significant statistical changes for the intragroup results for all 3 groups. No significant statistical difference was found between the groups for the intergroup analysis. Conclusion: The study showed that all three treatment protocols for groups 1, 2, and 3 were effective. However, group 1 had not shown a great improvement in their postural kyphosis. Group 3 had shown a VII relatively good improvement in their posture. Group 2 had shown the best results with regards to improvement of the participants’ posture. Therefore in conclusion group 2 and 3 treatment protocols can be used effectively to…

functional status in persons with depression. Research objectives:
1. to evaluate the effect of physical therapy on the functional
status in patients with depression; 2. to evaluate the effect of
physical therapy on the subjective assessment of the patients'
condition; 3. to evaluate the effect of physical therapy on
psycho-emotional state in patients with depression. Research
subjects: the research group and the control group included 24 and
23 patients, respectively. All patients were diagnosed with
classical depression and they received treatment at the Depression
Division of Mariu Hospital, a subdivision of Public Institution
Kaunas Hospital. In both groups, the functional status of the
patients was assessed and the level of depression was determined
using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D). Furthermore,
the research group completed a questionnaire designed to assess
their psycho-emotional state. The patients of the research group

▼ The CDC led a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) to negate the progress of prediabetes developing into type 2 diabetes (T2D). Prior research has reported DPP decreasing the rate of T2D (58%) compared to Metformin (31%) among pre-diabetics. Vascular health and physical performance (PP) limitations have been related with comorbidities of T2D. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the DPP on peripheral and central hemodynamics, one-legged balance test, maximal grip strength, and gait speed in normal and pre-diabetic older adults. Methods: 29 participants were placed in the intervention group (n=29). The intervention group performed baseline testing and participated in 12-week pedagogy focused lifestyle intervention. Analysis of variance was used to analyze changed between groups over time. Results: There were no significant differences in demographic data between groups, except for glucose. There were no significant differences (p<.05) between groups for any vascular measures, except for Weight (1.79%), HR (7bpm), and MVC (10.1%) which were significantly different (p=.023), (p=.003), and (p=.043) following the DPP.
Conclusion: Data demonstrated that the DPP was not significant in altering vascular measures in pre-diabetics, except in lowering resting HR. As rate pressure product reflects myocardial oxygen demand; lower resting HR may reduce myocardial workload. Significant decreases in weight (1.79%) over 12 weeks suggest effectiveness of DPP as the goal is 5-7% over one year. Additionally, significant improvements in MVC (14.5%) with decreases in weight may suggest the combatting of sarcopenia. It is important to note there were only 5 pre-diabetics included in this dataset.

▼ Background: Therapeutic exercises have been used by Physiotherapists to manage musculoskeletal disorders, specifically Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) for some time but they are less commonly used in dental practice. The current evidence about home
exercise programs to treat TMD is weak despite some generally recognised benefits such as low cost, reversibility and reinforcement of the patient’s coping skill, essential for management of chronic conditions like TMDs. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of home
exercise programs used as part of dental management for TMDs. Methods: A search of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Cochrane Library Issue 7, 2012), Medline, Web of Knowledge and Scopus databases (January 1966 to February 2012) and reference lists of articles. Only randomized and quasi-randomised controlled trials published in English that compare
exercise therapy to treatments without
exercise therapy for TMDs were included. Two authors independently assessed the suitability of trials for final inclusion and also contacted study authors for additional information as required. Results: Eleven trials involving 688 people were included. Two trials compared
exercise programs to no-treatment control subjects for Anterior Disc-Displacement with Reduction (ADDwR). A significant risk ratio of 0.44 (0.29-0.59) (44% improvement rate) for improvement in clicking after at least four weeks of
exercise therapy was revealed. Three trials compared
exercise programs for Anterior Disc-Displacement without Reduction (ADDwoR) with no-treatment control subjects. An overall improvement in the pain-free range of maximal mouth opening with
exercise intervention was observed although the differences were not statistically significant in one of three trials. Six trials compared
exercise programs for Myofascial Pain patients with no-treatment controls. A standardised mean difference in jaw pain score of 0.73 (95% CI -0.63 – 2.10) indicates no effect from
exercise therapy for this TMD subgroup. Conclusion:
Exercise therapy appears to be effective for treatment of some TMD subcategories and unlikely to present any adverse outcomes.

▼ Both nationally and internationally research has shown that weight gain is a major factor in deteriorating physical health. For people with mental health disorders this problem is compounded by the use of anti-psychotic medications. That is, while anti-psychotic medications play a significant role in the treatment of psychosis they can also cause significant weight gain for the individuals using them. This means that strategies that assist in maintaining a healthy body weight need to be considered alongside other treatments for people with psychotic disorders (Alvarez-Jimanez, MartÃnez-GarcÃa, Parez-Iglesias, Ramarez, Va¡zquez-Barquero & Crespo-Facorro 2009).
Early Intervention Services (EIS) are a specific model introduced to treat young people with psychosis early in the critical period of psychotic illness. Early Intervention is an international model with similarities in treatment throughout the world. Treatments generally include intensive psycho/social treatment from multi discipline teams and the use of psychotropic medications. As Addington et al (2005) argue this model has proven to be effective in treating psychosis.
Totara House, an EIS based in Christchurch New Zealand, uses the Early Intervention in Psychosis Model (Turner 2002). As part of treatment Totara House also offers a recreation group. This Group is based on concepts contained in Adventure
Therapy where, by using the outdoor environment, activities with perceived risks can be undertaken. Through these activities clients can generalise learning to a real life situations.
One of the few studies to evaluate the effectiveness of Adventure
Therapy (Voruganti et al, 2006) found it to be an effective intervention for people in early intervention for Psychosis. The study reported here attempts to add to that body of research by evaluating the benefits of the Totara House recreation group for a sample of young people taking anti-psychotic medication. The underlying premise is that participation in the recreation group will assist members to maintain a healthy body weight by increasing their physical activity, which in turn will improve their overall physical health.
Using several measures, this study compared the scores of 78 clients who attended the Totara House recreation group with 206 clients who do not attend the group. This included using physical measures such as Body Mass Index, Fasting Glucose (Glucose), Total Cholesterol, High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and Triglycerides. The Psychological measures used were Health of the Nation Outcome Scale (HONOS), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Quality of life, Substance Use, Self-report insight scale (Insight) and Compliance.
The results showed that High Density Lipoprotein was close to significance with this result being strongest in the last year of treatment. It also found that the majority of clients attended the recreation group early in their two years of treatment and that more left the recreation group for positive…

▼ Posttraumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a potentially debilitating chronic condition that can occur following an exposure to a traumatic event and can cause clinically significant social and occupational impairment. Although only a minority of those exposed to trauma will develop PTSD, research suggests that PTSD is quite common with an estimated lifetime prevalence of between 5 and 10% of the general population. Common empirically-suppo1ted psychotherapy modalities for PTSD include cognitive-behavioral and trauma-focused therapies. However, these conventional treatments are subject to high dropout rates or early termination of treatment due to such things as exacerbation of symptoms and time or logistical constraints. As such, both providers and clients continue to seek viable conventional and complementary or alternative treatments of PTSD. Recent research has established that exercise may help fill this need. Using phenomenological methods, this research explored the lived-experience of a cross-section of community-based adults with PTSD and the effects of a four-week exercise program on those participants. Themes identified from the pre-exercise interviews include: the dichotomy of life before and after trauma; feelings of "deserving" to have PTSD, existential confusion, and an inability to move forward. The post-exercise interviews reflected themes of hope, agency, self-awareness, and pride in doing something worthwhile. The results from this study show that exercise may be an effective complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) intervention for PTSD.

▼ Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) is a dynamic organ that has a tremendous ability to remodel in the face of increased energy intake. In obesity, alterations to SAT may lead to metabolic dysfunction and increased risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Decrements in SAT mitochondrial function and the adipogenic capacity of SAT have been identified in previous investigations in obese humans. However,
exercise training has been shown to improve metabolic function partly due to changes in SAT function. In this dissertation report we investigated the effects of an aerobic interval training (AIT)
exercise intervention in obese humans and its ability to modulate SAT function. The first main objective of the study was to delineate the impact of AIT on the mitochondrial content and function in SAT. The second main objective was to characterize the effects of AIT on the adipogenic capacity of preadipocytes isolated from SAT. AIT was effective at increasing complex I-linked mitochondrial oxygen consumption rates in lower but not upper body SAT independent of changes to mitochondrial content. Increased complex I-linked flux may indicate an increased ability to oxidize fuels that may provide cytoprotection to adipocytes. Additionally, AIT reduced the adipogenic capacity in preadipocytes isolated from SAT. This finding may help explain the ability of
exercise to prevent weight gain and weight regain after weight loss.
