To define the amount of dietary protein required to optimally stimulate post-exercise muscle protein synthesis in the older population.To assess whether co-ingesting 1.5 g of free leucine (contained within 15 g dairy protein) along with 15 g protein…
Primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of using a monitoring and a titration algorithm to prevent inactivity and excessive activity of the diaphragm. This will be determined by comparing the fraction of breaths where diaphragm…
The overall objective is to investigate the efficacy of resveratrol in modulating metabolism and CVD risk profile in patients with COPD. The primary objective is to investigate the effect of resveratrol on CRP as clinical marker of low grade…
The primaire objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent intervention (MCI) programme (physical activity [PA], nutritional counselling/dietary intervention, and information & communication technology [ICT] intervention)…
To determine whether the intake of minced beef is equally effective as ingestion of a bovine milk protein beverage in stimulating post resistance exercise muscle protein synthesis rates in young men.
Primary Objective: To provide evidence for the efficacy of wheat protein and wheat protein hydrolysate when compared with milk proteins as a dietary protein to stimulate postprandial muscle protein synthesis in vivo in healthy older humans.…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of a single meal-like amount of protein with or without fat on postprandial muscle protein synthesis in healthy elderly men. Furthermore, as a secondary objective, we will assess…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of a meal-like amount of dietary protein prior to sleep on postprandial muscle protein synthesis in healthy young and elderly men, following exercise, during the night. Furthermore, as…
To gain a more complete scientific understanding, it is necessary to examine whether an adaptation does in fact occur after habitual high or low amounts of protein intake with regard to the anabolic response to subsequent protein intake. In the…
The objective of this study is to develop a resistance training intervention that improves mobility and quality of life in diabetic patients. It is also our intension to achieve a better understanding of the relation between diabetic neuropathy and…
The objective of this study is to determine whether the intake of protein with extra leucine or extra carbohydrates added results in an improved muscle protein synthesis compared to the intake of only protein in elderly.
The objective of this study is to test whether meat structure plays an important role in protein digestion, to maximise the amino acid availability and to stimulate the muscle protein growth in elderly people.
The objective of this pilot study is to investigate the feasibility and effect of a high-intensity physical training program for elderly patients who are scheduled for abdominal oncological surgery on the preoperative maximal aerobic capacity and…
The aims of the study are fourfold: 1) to assess dual-task walking performance in patients with late sequelae of polio and compare this to dual-task walking performance of age-matched healthy controls; 2) to investigate the reproducibility of a dual…
The aims of this project is three-fold: 1) to assess the difference in functional ability and postural control between former polio patients with and without a history of recurrent falls; 2) to determine which risk assessment tool is the most…
Because the increasing fall problem, mainly due to an impaired gait and balance ability and partly caused by trips, this study will investigate fall risk by detecting fall related movement characteristics and by detecting stumbles inclusive the…
The primary objective of the current study will be to evaluate the (cost)effectiveness of a PE intervention in order to prevent back and neck pain among a heterogeneous group of workers.
To determine the contribution of proximal or distal muscle weakness to perturbations of stance induced by posturography.
Primary Objective: To determine if spinal and cortical balance control mechanisms mediate the age-associated decline in balance skills. Secondary Objective: To determine the reliability of TMS and H-reflex measures in the soleus muscle in different…
The primary objective of this study is to establish the relationships between structural and neural adaptation of human skeletal muscle when muscles are exposed to overstretch and overload through exercise.
