No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This research consists of a novel intervention designed to increase physical activity of premature babies in their first year of life. The potential beneficial impact of augmented physical activity on:

1. Body composition
2. Associated biochemical and cellular mechanisms of growth and inflammation
3. Quality of maternal care will be measured

Conditions

  • Body Composition, Beneficial

Interventions

OTHER

Exercise/Social Behavioral

Both the control and the intervention groups will be guided in implementing structured social interaction. In the intervention group, the structured interaction will incorporate augmented physical activities, while in the control group, the structured interaction will consist of predominantly social activities such as the caregiver reading or singing to the baby. The duration of the structured activities for both groups will be the same.
