Bariatric surgery physical activity intervention

Johnson, Megan M. 04 May 2013 (has links)
Purpose: To investigate the effect of the 12-week Active Living Every Day (ALED) internet-based PA intervention on PA levels, health profile and health-related psychosocial factors in bariatric patients. Methods: Efficacy of the ALED program was compared across pre-intervention, post-intervention and six-month post-surgery time points. PA was measured using the Omron pedometer (HJ-720ITC) and Actigraph GT3X accelerometer in 19 bariatric patients (2 male, 17 female, 43  12 years). Results: Mean steps/day and time spent in sedentary, light, and MVPA increased from pre-intervention through six-months post-surgery. Significant improvements (P < 0.05) in body composition occurred from pre-intervention to post-intervention and from post-intervention to six-month post-surgery. Conclusion: The 12-week ALED PA intervention did not significantly improve PA levels in previously sedentary bariatric surgery patients who were non-compliant prior to bariatric surgery or six-months post-surgery; however, the intervention led to improvements in cardiovascular risk factors, RPE and self efficacy. / School of Physical Education, Sport, and Exercise Science

Dietary factors in overweight adults.

Smith, R. J. January 1986 (has links)
The often stated inability of many patients to lose weight or maintain weight reduction is a common complaint heard in general practice and the dietary reasons underlying the problem was studied. The study was carried out in a suburban general practice , and it was found that there is a high degree of dietary ignorance and dietary indiscretion in overweight people. This would therefore account in the majority of cases for the claims made by patients that they eat very little and yet cannot lose weight. Overweight/obesity is of multi-factoral aetiology and the dietary aspect plays a major role. Thus recommendations have been made to endeavour to correct the problem at general practice level, by supplying a protocol in an approach to weight control management and at a community level by the introduction of a comprehensive and multifaceted health programme aimed at education and implementation of good dietary behaviour. / Thesis (M.Prax.Med.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1986.
