Randomised Controlled Trial Of Yoga For Improving Sleep And Quality Of Life In An Elderly Population
Funder

Funding Amount
$249,377.00
Summary
Insomnia is very common in the elderly and is associated with increased morbidity and reduced quality of life. Yoga is purported to assist with sleep and stress management but there is little rigorous research to confirm this and no research to determine if yoga can be adapted to an elderly population in Australia. This study aims to rigourously examine the effectiveness of yoga as an intervention for geriatric insomnia and to determine the ability of yoga to enhance quality of life.
A Randomised Controlled Trial Of Progressive Resistance Training In Older Type 2 Diabetics At Cardiovascular Risk.
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$848,659.00
Summary
Australia has one of the highest rates of type 2 diabetes in the world, especially in older adults. A weight-lifting intervention could simultaneously improve glucose metabolism, physical fitness, blood pressure, cardiovascular disease risk, lipid levels, muscle mass, and fat mass, even without an overall change in body weight. We hypothesise that a high intensity weight-lifting exercise regimen will be associated with significant improvements compared to a low intensity regimen.
