Office workers are at the highest risk due to prolonged occupational sitting; a lifestyle factor heavily linked to various musculoskeletal disorders. While maintaining an upright posture relies on the synergistic coordination of deep core muscles, extended sitting disrupts this muscular balance, leading to chronic postural decay. Although Pilates is proven to improve core muscle thickness, enhance physical fitness, and alleviate low back pain, existing literature shows high variability in training durations (ranging from 6 to 16 weeks) and lacks definitive conclusions regarding its long-term, residual effects post-intervention. Consequently, it remains unclear whether the benefits of Pilates can be sustained once the structured training stops.

Many patients have difficulty following traditional exercise recommendations due to time constraints, limited physical capacity, comorbidities, or lack of access to exercise facilities. Therefore, new and more practical exercise strategies are needed.\n\n\"Exercise Snacks\" is a novel physical activity approach that involves short bouts of exercise performed multiple times throughout the day.

While research supports the metabolic and weight related benefits of TRE, there is limited evidence of its effects on physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB) and sleep - the core components of 24-hour Activity Cycle (24-HAC), which is a holistic framework that integrates the three health-related activities.

These factors reduce the time children spend being active, despite the fact that active play is known to be crucial for children's healthy growth and development. Active play helps children move more, stay physically fit, and develop important social and emotional skills such as teamwork, confidence, and enjoyment. It also supports motor skill development, which includes basic skills like running, jumping, throwing, and catching. The lack of active play in everyday life suggests a strong need for school based programs that can safely introduce regular, structured, and enjoyable physical activity opportunities for children.\n\nObjective The main objective of this study is to find out whether a school based active play program can help children increase their daily physical activity, reduce the amount of time they spend sitting, and improve their sleep patterns. The study also aims to examine whether the program improves children's fundamental movement skills, such as running, jumping, throwing, and catching.\n\nMethods This study will use a randomised controlled trial design. Randomisation will be at the school level to ensure fairness and reduce bias. This study will test a 12-week school-based AP programme designed to help primary school children in Bangladesh be more active, sit less, sleep better, and improve their basic movement skills. The study will involve eight primary schools, with each school acting as one cluster. Four schools will receive the AP programme and the remaining four will continue their usual routine. About 43 children from each school will join, giving a total sample of around 343 students.\n\nEligibility Criteria Children can take part if they are students at a primary school, healthy, staying in their school for at least six months, able to understand basic Bengali or English, and are Bangladeshi citizens. Children will not be included if they are outside the age range, not attending school, or regularly involved in organised sports, dance, or athletic training. These rules help ensure that the programme is safe and that the comparison between the AP group and the control group is fair.\n\nIntervention Description The AP programme will run twice a week for 60 minutes. Each session will include 30 minutes of free play where children choose their own games and 30 minutes of researcher-led guided play. Activities will help children practise running, jumping, throwing, catching, and other fundamental skills. Weekly themes will keep the sessions enjoyable. Students will earn activity points for being active during sessions, reducing screen time at home, and following healthy sleep routines. Each week, the top three \"Active Champions'' from every school will receive a small reward.\n\nOrientation Sessions Before the programme begins, orientation sessions will be held for parents, teachers, and children. Parents will learn how to support safe play at home, especially when outdoor play is limited due to dengue or safety concerns. They will also receive tips on reducing screen time and encouraging good sleep habits. Teachers will be trained to integrate active breaks, organise movement-friendly classrooms, use outdoor areas safely, and give feedback to students. Children will learn why active play is important and how it can help their health, learning, confidence, and friendships.\n\nData Collection Plan Data will be collected at three time points: before the programme (T1), immediately after 12 weeks (T2), and eight weeks later (T3). Researchers will collect questionnaire responses, measure height, weight and use wrist-worn accelerometers to measure physical activity, sitting time, and sleep. Teachers and parents will help children wear the devices correctly and keep usage records. Fundamental motor skills will be assessed using the (Test of Gross Motor Development) TGMD 3 tool.\n\nData Analysis Researchers will check all data for accuracy and compare results between the AP and control groups. The study will examine changes in PA, sedentary behaviour, sleep patterns, and FMS. It will also explore whether age, gender, or family background affects how children respond to the programme. The results will help determine whether the AP programme is practical for Bangladeshi schools and effective in improving children's movement behaviours and FMS.\n\nExpected Results It is expected that children who participate in the AP program will show clear improvements in PA levels, movement skills, sitting time, and sleep patterns compared with children in the control group. Schools may also learn simple and low-cost ways to support children's activity within limited time and space, making the program valuable beyond the study itself.",[302,27,303,304],"Physical Activities","Sleep","Fundamental Movement Skills",[306,307,304,308],"Active Play","Movement Behaviours","Primary School Children","2026-02-08",{"date":311,"type":39},"2026-02-13",{"date":313,"type":21},"2026-05-01",{"date":315,"type":21},"2027-03-30",{"name":317,"class":46},"Hong Kong Baptist University",{"id":319,"slug":320,"hasResults":11,"nctId":321,"briefTitle":322,"officialTitle":323,"acronym":324,"eligibilityCriteria":325,"healthyVolunteers":113,"sex":16,"minAge":17,"maxAge":326,"enrollmentInfo":327,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":329,"briefSummary":330,"conditions":331,"keywords":333,"overallStatus":98,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":337,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":338,"startDateStruct":340,"completionDateStruct":342,"leadSponsor":344,"locationsCount":47},"100569895","frequency-of-interrupting-sitting-and-cognitive-function-100569895","NCT06700187","Frequency of Interrupting Sitting and Cognitive Function","Effects of Sitting Interruption Frequency on Cognitive Function and Glucose Metabolism: A Randomized, Controlled Cross-over Study Involving Young Sedentary Adults","FISCF","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Men and women aged 18-35 years;\n* BMI between 18.5-24.9 kg\u002Fm2;\n* SB, i.e. sitting for an average of at least 9 hours per day;\n* Physically inactive, i.e. engaging in exercise for less than 2 to 3 times per week;\n* Stable body weight (weight gain or loss \\\u003C 3 kg in the past three months);\n* Willingness to engage in four 6-hour laboratory visits;\n* No difficult cannulation.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Not sedentary, i.e. sitting for less than an average of 9 hours per day;\n* Physically active, i.e. engaging in exercise for more than 3 times a week;\n* Abuse of drugs;\n* Use medication to treat BP, lipid, or glucose metabolism;\n* Pregnant females.","35 Years",{"count":328,"type":21},33,[24],"Rationale: Sedentary behavior (SB) has been associated with impaired cognitive function in elderly, and negatively impacts glucose metabolism.

Their modifiable risk factors, including poor diet, physical inactivity, irregular sleep, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption, often emerge during adolescence and persist into adulthood.

Objective: evaluate whether a TBL-based educational intervention can improve adolescents' knowledge and habits related to chronic disease risk factors. Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial (cRCT) will be conducted in public schools in Palmares, Brazil, targeting high school students aged 15-19 years. Fourteen schools will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention, consisting of four TBL modules, will cover healthy eating, physical activity, screen time, sleep, tobacco, and alcohol use, delivered by graduate nursing students under faculty supervision.

Interventional studies have used cognitive bias modification tasks that target the quick automatic processes to retrain participant's bias.

One of the factors associated with mental health is the academic workload that comes with transitioning from high school to higher education, which may lead to an increase in stress levels due to university life referred to as academic stress. Academic stress has been linked to multiple negative outcomes in university students, such as a lower quality of life, as well as cardiovascular risk markers, including body composition (e.g., higher fat percentage), muscle function, aerobic capacity, and physical activity levels. Academic stress affecting more than 50% of university students represents a health issue that needs to be addressed, not only because it can lead to chronic stress, but also because it increases cardiovascular risk in a Chilean population where more than 10,000,000 people are overweight, obese, or have insufficient physical activity levels.\n\nAcademic stress and its associated complications represent a prevalent health issue among university students. It is essential to implement interventions that help reduce academic stress while also counteracting its negative effects on quality of life, body composition, muscle function, aerobic capacity, and physical activity levels.\n\nCost-effective tools, both in terms of financial resources and time, are needed. From this perspective, physical exercise meets both requirements, as it is inexpensive to implement and there are various protocols such as high-intensity interval training and \"exercise snacks\" that can require less than 40 minutes per week while providing beneficial effects on academic stress, body composition muscle function, aerobic capacity, and physical activity levels in university students.\n\nExpanding the body of evidence on these different training protocols would allow us to address multiple issues simultaneously. The primary one is academic stress and its related consequences, but also to generate new evidence on aspects not yet covered in the current literature, such as the impact on university students' quality of life, and to provide an accessible treatment tool for the future. Importantly, implementing these short-duration programs would also enable students to maintain their academic responsibilities, as the proposed protocols require no more than 40 minutes per week (\\\u003C10 minutes per day). Finally, these programs could be implemented within university facilities, which, in the long term, could become a permanent tool for improving students' university experience.",[504,505,62,27,506],"Mental Health","Mental Health Care","Cardiovascular Health",[508,509,510,511],"High-intensity Interval Training","Snack Exercises","Academic Stress","Mental Health Well-being","2025-02-25",{"date":514,"type":39},"2025-02-28",{"date":516,"type":21},"2025-04-15",{"date":518,"type":21},"2025-12-15",{"name":520,"class":46},"Universidad Metropolitana de Ciencias de la Educacion"]
