- Registration Number
- NCT06419829
- Lead Sponsor
- Wroclaw University of Health and Sport Sciences
- Brief Summary
The main aim of the research is to assess the impact of various forms of physical activity on body composition and posture. The basis of the research is the assessment of the current condition of people of different ages and the development of individualized physioprophylaxis programs for body posture and body weight abnormalities. In the senior group, the task of physioprophylactic programs is to prevent the loss of muscle mass, prevent falls and improve the quality of life.
- Detailed Description
The research is focused on three age groups: research in the progressive period of ontogenesis from 3 to 18 years of age, people in adulthood, and people in senior age, i.e. postmenopausal women and men over 65 years of age. The research is conducted in three stages - in the first stage: assessment of the current condition, i.e. body weight and composition, assessment of body posture, physical fitness (including age-appropriate tests), assessment of physical activity (IPAQ test, PAQ-C and PAQ-A test). ). In the second stage: development and implementation of physioprophylactic programs aimed at preventing overweight or obesity, body posture abnormalities, and reduced physical fitness. Physioprophylactic projects based on medical training are adapted to age and gender and the assessment of the current condition. The duration of the training project is 12 weeks, classes will be held twice a week for 60 minutes for adults, twice a week for 45 minutes for children over 7 years of age and twice a week for 30 minutes for preschool children. Physioprophylactic classes will complement school classes for the group under 18 years of age. The third part of the research project is the assessment of changes in body weight, body posture and physical fitness.
The practical part will be complemented by meetings and lectures for the respondents and their parents (in the case of children) regarding the importance of physical activity, diet and physical fitness in the quality of life and its importance in various periods of ontogenetic development.
The study of a given group will be completed with a follow-up study 6 months after the end of the research project The ongoing research project will allow the development of physioprophylactic programs with elements of medical training to counteract lifestyle diseases.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method A physioprophylactic program for children aimed at normalizing body weight, improving physical fitness and correcting body posture 01.2027-12.2027 The result of the project will be the development of physioprophylactic programs based on medical training aimed at normalizing body weight, improving and correcting body posture and improving physical fitness. The programs will be adapted to the problems diagnosed in control tests and the age and gender of the examined children and adolescents Their final effectiveness will be assessed during follow-up tests performed immediately after the end of the 12-week program and follow-up tests after 6 months.
Physiophylaxis in adulthood 01.2026-06.2027 The result of the preliminary tests will be an estimate of the scale of occurrence of body weight abnormalities and body posture abnormalities, which are not monitored during this period. An important cognitive element will also be the assessment of the physical fitness of adults, taking into account their age, gender, body weight, forms of work undertaken, and exposure to stress.
Their final effectiveness will be assessed during follow-up tests performed immediately after the end of the 12-week program and follow-up tests after 6 months.Physiophylaxis in seniors 01.2028-12.2028 The result of the preliminary tests will be an estimate of the scale of occurrence of body weight abnormalities and body posture abnormalities, which are not monitored during this period. The physioprophylactic programs carried out will enable the development of standardized training programs aimed at improving the elderly's physical fitness, preventing falls, and maintaining the functionality and independence of older people. An important cognitive element will also be the assessment of the physical fitness of seniors, taking into account their age, gender, body weight, previously undertaken forms of work, exposure to stress, and quality of life.
Their final effectiveness will be assessed during follow-up tests performed immediately after the end of the 12-week program and follow-up tests after 6 months.
