Type 2 diabetes is a heterogeneous disease characterized by insulin resistance and altered glucose and lipid metabolism in multiple organs. To understand the complex series of events that occur during the development of obesity-associated diabetes, we examined the temporal pattern of changes in insulin action and glucose metabolism in individual organs during chronic high-fat feeding in C57BL/6 mice. Insulin-stimulated cardiac glucose metabolism was significantly reduced after 1.5 weeks of high-

The goal of this study was to develop a Korean version of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (K-GPAQ) and to examine its reliability and validity. The English version of the GPAQ was translated to the Korean language (K-GPAQ) via forward–backward translation. Reliability of the K-GPAQ was evaluated using a one-week interval test–retest method with 115 individuals. Criterion-related validity of the K-GPAQ was examined with 199 participants using accelerometers. Cohen’s kappa and Spearman’

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of an oncologist's exercise recommendation with and without an exercise motivation package on the amount of exercise participation and quality of life (QOL) in survivors of breast and colorectal cancer. METHODS: A total of 162 survivors of early-stage breast and colorectal cancer who completed primary and adjuvant treatments were recruited for the current study. Participants were randomly assigned into 1 of 3 groups: 1) contr

Despite improvement in prognosis of colorectal cancer, colorectal cancer survivors often suffer from adverse effects of cancer treatment, including reduced health-related fitness level. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the feasibility and efficacy of the 6-week home-based exercise program on the level of physical activity and physical fitness in stage II to III colorectal cancer survivors. Seventy-two stage II to III colorectal cancer survivors were randomly assigned to either a home-based

The purpose of this study was to relationship among perceived transformational leadership, sport flow and exercise satisfaction for Pilates participants, The data was collected from participants in Pilates centers in Seoul and Pusan. A total of 254 samples were collected through convenient samp1ing method. To analyze data, we used EFA, reliability, correlation analysis and CFA by SPSS 18.0 AND AMOS 16.0 . The reserch results are as follows : First, transformational leadership’s charisma and inte

Objective: This study examined the influences of maternal and paternal psychological control and children’s rejection sensitivity on relational aggression in elementary school students, and investigated whether children’s rejection sensitivity mediated the relation of parental psychological control and relational aggression. Methods: The participants of this study were 596 fifth to sixth graders from seven elementary schools located in Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi province. To measure the resear

본 연구는 최근 기후변화와 지구의 생태적 한계에 대한 위기감이 고조되고 있는 가운데, 자치적인 문제해결을 위해 결성된 도시형 에너지자립마을에서 지역공동체 형성이 어느 정도 이루어지고 있는지 탐색하고 그 과정을 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 정부 지원 종료 후에도 최소 1년 이상 활동을 지속하고 있는 서울시 에너지자립마을 7곳의 사례를 조사하고 사례분석과 사회네트워크 분석을 실시했다. 연구결과, 공동체 형성이 잘 이루어진 마을에서는 주민 모임공간이나 공유공간을 조성하고 공적인 영역과 사적인 영역에서 네트워크 형성과 상호협동이 나타나며, 주민들은 소속된 마을을 친밀하고 신뢰할 수 있는 곳으로 여기고 있었다. 그리고 공동체 형성 기간이 짧은 에너지자립마을에서는 친하게 여기지 않더라도 도움을 주고받는 관계가 형성되어 있었는데, 공동체 형성 기간이 오래된 마을에서는 도움을 주고받는 사람들이 대체로 친밀한 관계로도 연결되어 있었다. 이를 통해 도출된 지역공동체 형성 및 확산의 정책적 시사점은 다음과

BACKGROUND: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is recommended for patients with cardiovascular disease. However, the participation and completion rates for hospital-based CR are low, and home-based CR has been suggested as an alternative. This study aimed to develop a home-based CR program and assess the feasibility of the program over a 6-week period in patients with left ventricular dysfunction or a history of myocardial infarction. METHODS: This feasibility study consisted of two phases. The initial
