This single-arm, pre-post intervention study with a three-month follow-up aimed to determine whether a ten-day outdoor camp combining mixed-modality physical activity and time-restricted feeding elicits positive changes in multiple body-composition outcome measures and whether those changes persist at three-month follow-up. Forty healthy undergraduates (18 male, 22 female) participated in a 10-day outdoor camp that combined multi-modal physical activities (rock climbing and bouldering, swimming, hiking, applied paddling, survival skills, etc.) with a 13 h daily time-restricted feeding window. Body fat percentage, skeletal muscle percentage, body mass, total body-water percentage, visceral fat level, and skeletal muscle index were measured using the InBody 270 at baseline, immediately post-camp, and at the three-month follow-up. Mixed-effects models with random intercepts for subject revealed significant reductions in body fat percentage ( = -1.63, < 0.001) and visceral fat level ( = -0.72, = 0.001), alongside increases in skeletal muscle percentage ( = 1.02, < 0.001), skeletal muscle index ( = 0.30, < 0.001), and total body-water percentage ( = 1.19, < 0.001) from baseline to post-camp; no outcomes differed between baseline and follow-up and no time × sex interactions were observed. These findings indicate that a brief, intensive nature-based intervention can drive rapid, multidimensional improvements in body composition, but structured maintenance is required to sustain benefits.
这项单臂干预前后研究,随访期为三个月,旨在确定一项为期十天的户外营地活动(结合多种形式的体育活动和限时进食)是否能使多项身体成分指标产生积极变化,以及这些变化在三个月随访期是否持续存在。40名健康本科生(18名男性,22名女性)参加了为期10天的户外营地活动,该活动将多模式体育活动(攀岩、抱石、游泳、徒步、应用划船、生存技能等)与每天13小时的限时进食窗口相结合。在基线、营地活动结束后即刻以及三个月随访时,使用InBody 270测量体脂百分比、骨骼肌百分比、体重、全身水分百分比、内脏脂肪水平和骨骼肌指数。带有随机截距的混合效应模型显示,从基线到营地活动结束后,体脂百分比显著降低(β = -1.63,P < 0.001),内脏脂肪水平降低(β = -0.72,P = 0.001),同时骨骼肌百分比增加(β = 1.02,P < 0.001)、骨骼肌指数增加(β = 0.30,P < 0.001)、全身水分百分比增加(β = 1.19,P < 0.001);基线和随访之间的结果无差异,且未观察到时间×性别交互作用。这些结果表明,短期、高强度的自然环境干预可促使身体成分快速、多维度改善,但需要有结构化的维持措施来保持这些益处。
