rates during a community-based high-intensity exercise intervention

My Background
• Computational biomechanics• Computer-based interventions (gaming)• Training interventions
• Meaningful exercise• Load muscles in an effective way• Development and evaluation of a high-intensity
exergame in a region of lower socio-economic status
3
Introduction• Males have a lower life expectancy and a higher
morbidity rate than females.• Such trends are exacerbated in regions of social
deprivation.• Males in general are reluctant to engage with formal
health services and perform less than the recommended guidelines for physical activity
Aims
Larger project objective: • To develop and evaluate a purpose built high-intensity video
game intervention targeting males from a region of social deprivation in the North East of England
• (Research Councils UK, Research in the Wild Call (EP/I001891/1))
This presentation:• Can we do more to understand the mechanisms underpinning
the health outcomes – new form of physical activity measurement – muscle force
calculations)?
Gaming system hardware
• Boxing-specific resistance bands (ShadowBoxer Pty, Australia)• 2x Heart-rate monitor (Polar, Finland)• 2 Xbox Kinect Sensors (Microsoft, USA)• 2 Windows PCs connected by Router• Wireless inertial measurement units – combining triaxial accelerometer, gyroscope and
magnetometer (developed ‘in-house’)
Game development in Unity3D gaming engine (Unity3d.com, USA)

Gaming system software
• Intention-to-treat – Average %HRmax for work periods across all exercise sessions was 69
± 17%– Mean peak %HRmax during work periods across all exercise sessions
was 71.5 ± 18.6%• Per-protocol-analysis,
– Average %HRmax for work periods across all exercise sessions was 87 ± 3%
– Mean %peak HRmax during work periods across all exercise sessions was 90 ± 3%
• Sessions attended– Average %HRmax for work periods across all exercise sessions was 86 ± 3%
– Mean peak %HRmax during work periods across all exercise sessions was 90 ± 2%
Intervention Fidelity
Summary of findings (and my next step)• Data collection and exercise delivery are feasible in this
‘hard-to-reach’ group.• Adherence and retention good• Training at desired intensity• Generally beneficial results, i.e. moving in right direction• However,
– Unclear effects for most outcome variables– Large confidence intervals– Manipulate intensity, duration and frequency – More trials = time-consuming
.
My Current Work (Musculoskeletal Modelling)
• Muscle metabolic adaptations critical component to preventing diseases such as coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity
• Metabolic adaptation and energy costs are primarily determined by muscle contraction.
• Little is known about mechanics of generating muscular force and/or work in humans. – muscle actions involved, speed of movement, range of
motion, muscle groups trained, energy systems involved, intensity and volume of training
• Musculoskeletal modelling– Further understand the cause of large confidence intervals? – Enables ‘what if’ mode of enquiry, possibly on an individual basis– Time-savings
Next Steps• Heart rates and full-body kinematic data recorded in over
200 exercise sessions• Model Input
• Health outcomes recorded for intervention group (outcome variables) • Model validity
