Use of intragastric balloons and a lifestyle support programme to promote weight loss in severely obese adolescents. Pilot study
I Can Actually Exercise If I Want To; It Isn't As Hard As I Thought
A qualitative study nested within a randomized controlled trial explored obese adolescents' experiences of participation in an exercise therapy intervention. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants assigned to exercise therapy. Participants' reported feeling more energetic during and after exercise, than before. Many participants reported feeling happy/happier and expressed feeling better about themselves as individuals after …
Protocol for
SHOT is a randomised controlled trial where obese young people are randomised to receive; (1) exercise therapy, (2) attention-control intervention (involving body-conditioning exercises and games that do not involve aerobic activity), or (3) usual care. The exercise therapy and attention-control sessions will take place three times per week for eight weeks and a six-week home programme will follow this. Ninety adolescents aged between 11-16 years…
A brief history of the study of human growth dynamics
Human growth is non-linear and short term changes in height velocity cannot be used to predict future growth. This paper discusses the current knowledge of growth dynamics in the context of a historical review of the subject
A portable knemometer
Knemometry is the technique of choice for short-term growth studies, as it is the only anthropometric technique available that allows sufficiently accurate measurement of the lower leg (in anatomical terms, the leg) to enable changes in leg length to be detected over as short an interval as a week or less. The portable knemometer, like the Valk knemometer, essentially consists of two main parts: a rigid metal frame holding the footplate, measurin…
