Abstract:
Background: MedEx Wellness is a community-based chronic illness rehabilitation programme located at Dublin City University. It offers exercise classes in a medically supervised environment to patients with a range of chronic illnesses. MedEx ‘Move On’ is the oncology rehabilitation programme that caters for cancer survivors. This study aimed to determine the effect of ‘Move On’ on cancer survivors’ physical and psychological wellbeing. Methods: Adults with an established diagnosis of cancer, who have completed their adjunctive therapy, are referred to ‘Move On’. Participants attend two 60 minute supervised exercise classes per week for 12 weeks. Recruitment to the ‘Move On’ programme occurs every 12 weeks, with approximately 30 participants attending per cycle. Classes are led by exercise specialists and involve a combination of aerobic and resistance training. A single arm pre-test, post-test design was used. At baseline and week 12, assessments of cardiorespiratory fitness (10m sh...

Abstract:
Background: Physical activity is a principal intervention in primary and secondary prevention of chronic illness. While the benefits of community based rehabilitation is acknowledged,the rate of attendance and adherence remains sub optimal. Self-efficacy is acknowledged to be a key factor relating to adherence in rehabilitation but the construct of proxy efficacy, defined as one’s confidence in the skills and abilities of a third party to function effectively on another’s behalf, is less often studied. This paper examines the relationship between gender and ‘self’ and ‘proxy-efficacy’ and their potential role in attendance to a community based chronic illness rehabiliation (CBCIR) programme. Methods: Participants attending induction at the programme completed a questionnaire assessing demographics and both self (9 items) and proxy efficacy for exercise (9 items) which was assessed on a Likert scale from 0 (not confident at all) to 10 (very confident), with a higher score indicating ...

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to explore participants’ views and experiences of an eHealth phase 3 cardiac rehabilitation (CR) intervention: Physical Activity Towards Health (PATHway). Sixty participants took part in the PATHway intervention. Debriefs were conducted after the six-month intervention. All interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were analysed with Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis. Forty-four (71%) debriefs were conducted (n = 34 male, mean (SD) age 61 (10) years). Five key themes were identified: (1) Feedback on the components of the PATHway system, (2) Motivation, (3) Barriers to using PATHway, (4) Enablers to using PATHway, and (5) Post programme reflection. There were a number of subthemes within each theme, for example motivation explores participants motivation to take part in PATHway and participants motivation to sustain engagement with PATHway throughout the intervention period. Participant engagement with the components of the PATHw...

Abstract:
Background: MedEx is a community-based chronic illness rehabilitation programme, located in Dublin City University, Ireland. The aim of MedEx is to provide exercise rehabilitation, supported by medical supervision, to people with a diverse range of chronic illnesses. Remote technology solutions for physical activity participation, adherence and monitoring, are potentially a new way to provide further support to individuals in their chronic illness management. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the level of interest and use of technology by individuals living with chronic illness in order to explore patient desire for the provision of a technology-enabled remote exercise rehabilitation programme. Method: KU Leuven, Research Group for Cardiovascular and Respiratory Rehabilitation. A technology usage questionnaire based on a previous study investigating the role of technology and mHealth in a cardiovascular disease population was used (Dale et al., 2014) to ascertain ...

Abstract:
Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of premature death and disability in Europe. Effective cardiac rehabilitation (CR) can improve mortality and morbidity rates, yet uptake of community-based CR is low (Department of Health and Children, 2010). PATHway (Physical Activity Towards Health) is a technology enabled behaviour change intervention designed to enable patients to self-manage their health. Aims From a patient’s perspective, this study aims to determine the key personal, social and physical factors that inhibit or promote a patient’s capacity to engage with a technology enabled CR programme. From a healthcare professional’s perspective, this study aims to explore a) opinions and preferences for the most appropriate content and most viable approach for delivery of the PATHway intervention, b) strategies for recruitment and retention of study participants, c) treatment adherence, and d) strategies to overcome barriers to the acceptability of the intervent...

Abstract:
Purpose: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of premature death and disability in Europe. Effective exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) can improve mortality and morbidity rates, yet uptake of community-based CR is low (1). PATHway (Physical Activity Towards Health) is a technology-enabled lifestyle behaviour change intervention designed to enhance patient self-management of CVD through adherence to physical activity and other health behaviours. This paper explains the co-design and user validation process that is being employed for the development of the PATHway platform. Methods: CVD patients from a) hospital-based CR and b) community-based CR across two sites (Dublin, Ireland; Leuven, Belgium) are invited to participate in the study. To facilitate an iterative process, three separate rounds of semi-structured interviews, a total of twelve focus groups (4 groups x 3 rounds) are planned between February and April 2016.

Kelly, David T.; Tobin, Críonna; Egan, Brendan; McCarren, Andrew; O’Connor, Paul L.; McCaffrey, Noel; Moyna, Niall
Abstract:
High volume endurance training (ET) has traditionally been used to improve aerobic capacity but is extremely time-consuming in contrast to low-volume short-duration sprint interval training (SIT) that improves maximal oxygen uptake (V_ O2max) to a similar extent. Few studies have compared the effects of SIT vs. ET using running-based protocols, or in team sport athletes. Club level male Gaelic football players were randomly assigned to SIT (n = 7; 21.6 6 2.1 years) or ET (n = 8; 21.9 6 3.5 years) for 6 sessions over 2 weeks. V_ O2max, muscle mitochondrial enzyme activity, running economy (RE), and high-intensity endurance capacity (HEC) were measured before and after training. An increase in V_ O2max (p # 0.05) after 2 weeks of both SIT and ET was observed. Performance in HEC increased by 31.0 and 17.2% after SIT and ET, respectively (p # 0.05). Running economy assessed at 8, 9, 10, and 11 km$h 21 , lactate threshold and vV_ O2max were unchanged after both SIT and ET. Maximal activi...

Abstract:
Purpose: The presence of chronic illness has been consistently associated with depressive symptoms, and both are associated with decreased physical activity. This paper examines how level of depressive symptoms and perceived general health are associated with 12-week attendance at a CBCIR. Methods: Participants with established chronic illnesses referred to Med Ex via GPs and hospitals completed a MedEx questionnaire (Cronbach alpha >0.8 on all instruments) at induction. This instrument assessed perceived general health (1 item), presence of depressive symptoms (8 items), and self-reported days of 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (days.30mins.MVPA; 2 items). Subsequently, attendance (defined as a visit to a MedEx class) was objectively monitored for 12 weeks. Results: 156 participants (M age=66.08+11.09, 54% Male) completed induction. 47% were classified as having no depressive symptoms, 30% had mild symptoms, while 23% had moderate, moderate to severe,...

Abstract:
Background: Physiologically based exercise prescriptions normally involve identifying an intensity range that elicits a predetermined VO2 or heart rate. In many instances prescribed exercise that exceeds an individual’s preferred level of intensity may establish a negative attitude toward physical activity. Longitudinal studies report that participants tend to deviate from physiologically based prescribed levels of intensity in favour of their apparently preferred levels. Self-regulated exercise intensity may increase enjoyment and promote adherence by allowing individuals successfully complete an activity within their perceptual preference range and without undue physiological strain. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of self-regulated exercise intensity on endothelial function (a validated surrogate measure of early atherosclerosis) in men with coronary artery disease. Methods: Eight men with coronary artery disease (65.7 ± 4.5 yr, VO2max 18.6 ± 4.1 ml/kg/min...

Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Establishing the incidence of injury is the first step in initiating injury prevention strategies. There is a lack of research on injury in Irish adolescents and this study paves the way for further injury prevention research, by implementing a prospective cohort study. PURPOSE:To establish the epidemiology of injury in male adolescents in Irish secondary schools in one academic year. METHODS:452 male 4th and 5th year adolescents (aged 15.62±0.70 years) took part in a prospective epidemiology study for one academic year. Any injury sustained during training or competition resulting in restricted performance or time lost from play was assessed weekly by an athletic rehabilitation therapist. An injury report form was completed to ensure standardisation of the injury description. RESULTS:5.16 injuries per 1,000 hours were noted, with 35.6% at risk of injury and 27.9% of injured participants at risk of sustaining another injury that school year. Competition injuries (16...

Abstract:
Background: Many of the metabolic effects of exercise are due to the most recent exercise session. With recent advances in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMRS), it is possible to gain insight about which lipoprotein particles are responsible for mediating exercise effects.Methods: Using a randomized cross-over design, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) responses were evaluated in eight men on the morning after i) an inactive control trial (CON), ii) exercising vigorously on the prior evening for 100 min followed by fasting overnight to maintain an energy and carbohydrate deficit (EX-DEF), and iii) after the same exercise session followed by carbohydrate intake to restore muscle glycogen and carbohydrate balance (EX-BAL).Results: The intermediate, low and high density lipoprotein particle concentrations did not differ between trials. Fasting triglyceride (TG) determined biochemically, and mean VLDL size were lower in EX-DEF but not in EX-BAL compared to CON, primarily due ...

Abstract:
Purpose: Health care professionals (HCPs) are encouraged to consider physical activity (PA) promotion as part of usual care for all cancer patients1. It’s suggested that medical professionals refer patients to external sources for more comprehensive community-based support2. This Delphi study aimed to identify barriers and motivators experienced by HCPs when referring cancer patients to community-based exercise programmes (CBEPs), and strategies to optimise the referral process. Methods: 114 HCPs were invited to complete the round one (R1) online questionnaire. HCPs were asked open-ended questions regarding the motivators and barriers to referral to CBEPs, and strategies to optimise this process. In round two (R2), respondents were asked to rate their level of agreement or disagreement with statements arising from R1. The aim of R2 was to achieve consensus regarding the optimisation of the referral process. Results: A score of 70% (across strongly agree/agree or strongly disagre...

Abstract:
Introduction. Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) independently alters the clinical course of cardiovascular diseases resulting in a signi cant reduction in all-cause and cardiac mortality. However, only 15%–30% of all eligible patients participate in a phase 2 ambulatory programme. The uptake rate of community-based programmes following phase 2 CR and adherence to long-term exercise is extremely poor. Newer care models, involving telerehabilitation programmes that are delivered remotely, show considerable promise for increasing adherence. In this view, the PATHway (Physical Activity Towards Health) platform was developed and now needs to be evaluated in terms of its feasibility and clinical efficacy. Methods and analysis. In a multicentre randomised controlled pilot trial, 120 participants (m/f, age 40–80 years) completing a phase 2 ambulatory CR programme will be randomised on a 1:1 basis to PATHway or usual care. PATHway involves a comprehensive, internet- enabled, sensor...

Abstract:
Purpose: Microparticles (MP) are small membranous vesicles shed from formed elements such as circulating platelets and vascular endothelial cells. They express surface antigens characteristic of their cell-of-origin and contain DNA, RNA, miRNA and intracellular proteins. Depending on the dynamic morphological state of the parent cell, phenotypically varied MP may be released into the circulation. MP serve not only as markers, but also potential mediators of inflammation, coagulation and endothelial dysfunction. This study examined the relation between total MP, endothelial MP (EMP), platelet MP (PMP) and endothelial function (a validated surrogate measure of early atherosclerosis) in response to acute exercise in men with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: Eight men with CAD (65.7 ± 4.5 yr, VO2max 18.6 ± 4.1 ml/kg/min, BMI 29.7±3.3 kg/m-2) underwent 20 min of treadmill walking at 66 % VO2max.

Abstract:
Effective Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) can significantly improve mortality and morbidity rates in relation to cardiovascular disease; however, uptake of traditional community-based long-term is very low. PATHway (Physical Activity Towards Health) will provide individualized rehabilitation programs, through an internet-enabled sensor-based home exercise platform that allows remote participation.

Abstract:
Regular physical activity (PA) can address many of the negative side effects experienced by individuals following cancer treatment and support the optimization of physical and psychosocial well-being. However, many survivors of cancer are not sufficiently active to achieve these health benefits. The purpose of this study was to describe the development of a physical activity behavior change (PABC) intervention, MedEx IMPACT (IMprove Physical Activity after Cancer Treatment), which aims to increase cancer survivors’ PA levels. A review of the literature and focus groups with survivors of cancer were conducted in order to generate recommendations to inform the intervention development process. This process was guided and informed by: (1) the Medical Research Council’s (MRC) framework for the development, evaluation, and implementation of complex interventions, (2) the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW), and (3) the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF).
