Work plan

INTEGRActiv is structured in two phases:

  • The first baseline phase is to identify biomarkers of physical activity and health in a new core cohort to be able to perform integrated analyses using both the specific measurements and samples of interest (PBC and plasma/serum) from the same subjects.
  • In a second phase, an educational intervention and its follow-up will be carried out in a subgroup of these subjects, to allow a first validation step based on the evolution of the identified biomarkers. The identified biomarkers will be also studied in available samples from others cohorts of young adults with contrasting PA levels, to allow for their possible extension to other age groups.

conceptThe implementation INTEGRActiv project will be through 7 work packages under as follows:

JR Joan Ribot
UIB-IdISBa
Spain
Participants: All partners and collaborator

Objectives: (a) to prepare standard operating procedures (SOPs) for procedures implemented in the project (when applicable), including pre-analytics processing and sample storage; (b) to provide validation of analytical procedures; (c) to organize samples transfer between partners and coordination of sample analysis by partners; and (d) to organize data transfer from partners to central database for integrated analysis (WP5).

WP3: Epidemiological platform

Leaders
EL Empar Lurbe
IPEDITEC
Spain
PO Paula Oliver
UIB-IdISBa
Spain
Participants: IPEDITEC and UIB-IdISBa

Objectives: (a) to recruit a new cohort of children/adolescents (core cohort), to perform metabolic, PA, cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness measurements, and to obtain blood samples (PBC, plasma/serum) for used in WP4/WP5 to identify new biomarkers of PA and health; and (b) to perform an educational intervention and its follow-up in a subgroup of the core cohort, and to obtain blood samples of these subjects for use in WP6 for validation of the biomarkers identified in the core cohort.

WP4: Analytical platform

Leaders
JK Jan Kopecky
IPHYS
Czech Republic
AMR Ana M Rodríguez
UIB-IdISBa
Spain
Participants: AMU, IPHYS, UIB-IdISBa and WU-HAP

Objectives: To analyse myokines/adipokines, transcriptome, miRNAs, and metabolome in blood and PBC samples from the core cohort (recruited in WP3) during the biomarker generation phase and provide data for subsequent integrative analysis (in WP5).

WP5: Integrated analysis

Leaders
JCM Jean Charles Martin
AMU
France
JSR Juana Sánchez
UIB-IdISBa
Spain
Participants: All partners and collaborator

Objectives: (a) To establish a data management plan to make sure that the research data gathered in the project will be findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable (respecting the FAIR data principles); and (b) To perform and develop methods for integrative, functional analysis of relevant data generated in the project to derive candidate biomarkers for PA and health.
