Objective: The aim of the Maternal Infant Support Worker (MiSW) pilot program was to implement a virtual training program for lay maternal-infant health providers in remote First Nations communities in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

Methods: The MiSW pilot program was administered jointly by a community college and a university and consisted of a 20-week virtual course followed by a 9-month mentored work placement in the community.

Results: The MiSW pilot program was delivered successfully; 11 of 13 participants received a certificate from a community college.

"Metabolic Equivalent" (MET) represents a standard amount of oxygen consumed by the body under resting conditions, and is defined as 3.5 mL O₂/kg × min or ~1 kcal/kg × h. It is used to express the energy cost of physical activity in multiples of MET.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to understand how exercise alone, without any dietary changes, affects body weight regulation over an 8-week period in healthy men, focusing on changes in activity energy expenditure (AEE) and energy intake (EI).
  • - Participants in the intervention group increased their physical activity levels and cardiorespiratory fitness while losing body mass, primarily from fat, whereas the control group showed no significant changes in these areas.
  • - Both groups maintained the same energy intake, suggesting that an increase in physical activity can lead to a negative energy balance in normal-weight and overweight individuals, but further research is needed to explore longer-term effects and whether increased physical activity eventually leads to higher energy intake.
