Background Proximity to walkable destinations or amenities is thought influence physical activity behaviour. Previous efforts attempting calculate neighbourhood walkability have relied on self-report time-intensive and costly measures. Walk Score a novel publicly available website that estimates based proximity 13 amenity categories (eg, grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, bars, movie theatres, schools, parks, libraries, book fitness centres, drug hardware clothing/music stores)....
To test the efficacy of a multicomponent technology intervention for reducing daily sedentary time and improving cardiometabolic disease risk among sedentary, overweight university employees.Blinded, randomised controlled trial.A large south-eastern in USA.49 middle-aged, primarily female, adults working jobs enrolled study. A total 40 participants completed study.Participants were to either: (1) an group (N=23; 47.6+9.9 years; 94.1% female; 33.2+4.5 kg/m(2)); (2) or wait-list control (N=17;...
Purpose. To examine the accuracy of intensity and inclinometer output three physical activity monitors during various sedentary light-intensity activities. Methods. Thirty-six participants wore (ActiGraph GT1M, ActiGraph GT3X+, StepWatch) while completing (lying, sitting watching television, using computer, standing still) light (walking 1.0 mph, pedaling 7.0 15.0 mph) activities under controlled settings. Accuracy for correctly categorizing was assessed each monitor threshold. GT3X+...
Purpose This article reports on the presentations and discussion from working group “Influences Sedentary Behavior Interventions To Reduce Behavior” as part of Behavior: Identifying Research Priorities workshop. Methods were discussed in context targeting sedentary behavior (SB) a concept distinct physical activity. It was recommended that interventions SB should consider life course perspective, position predicated assumption is age stage dependent. In addition, environments where...
Background Sedentary time is independently associated with an increased risk of metabolic disease. Worksite interventions designed to decrease sedentary may serve improve employee health. Objective The purpose this study test the feasibility and use a pedal exercise machine for reducing workplace time. Methods Eighteen full-time employees (mean age+SD 40.2+10.7 years; 88% female) working in occupations were recruited participation. Demographic anthropometric data collected at baseline 4...
Abstract Background There is currently conflicting evidence surrounding the effects of obesity on postoperative outcomes. Previous studies have found to be associated with adverse events, but others no association. The aim this study was determine whether increasing body mass index (BMI) an independent risk factor for development major complications. Methods This a multicentre prospective cohort across UK and Republic Ireland. Consecutive patients undergoing elective or emergency...
Background Sedentary work is hazardous. Over 80% of all US jobs are predominantly sedentary, placing full‐time office workers at increased risk for cardiovascular and metabolic morbidity mortality. Thus, there a critical need effective workplace physical activity interventions. MapTrek mobile health platform that gamifies Fitbit use the purpose promoting activity. The this study was to test efficacy increasing daily steps moderate‐intensity over 10 weeks in sample sedentary workers. Methods...
To compare the effect of modified Paleolithic elimination (Wahls) and low-saturated fat (Swank) diets in relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS).Individuals (n = 87) with RRMS were randomized to Swank or Wahls a parallel group clinical trial consisting four timepoints: 1) run-in, 2) baseline, 3) 12-weeks, 4) 24-weeks.77 participants completed 12 weeks 72 24 weeks. The 12-week change from baseline fatigue was -0.94 ± 0.18 (FSS) -9.87 1.93 (MFIS; both p < 0.0001) for Swank, -0.71 0.24 (FSS; 0.004)...
The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between God Locus Health Control, health behaviors, and beliefs utilizing a cross-sectional online survey ( N = 549). Results indicated that Control correlated with alcohol use, physical activity, perceived risk chronic disease, poor behaviors contribute disease (all p values < .05). Multiple regression analyses including covariates other locus control variables revealed only an independent correlate belief inactivity contributed...
Introduction Activity-monitoring devices may increase activity, but their effectiveness in sedentary, diseased, and less-motivated populations is unknown. Methods Subjects with diabetes or pre-diabetes were given a Fitbit randomized into three groups: only, reminders, both reminders goal setting. the group sent text-message to wear Fitbit. The goal-setting was daily text message asking for step goal. All subjects had in-person visits (baseline, 3 6 months). We modelled steps setting using...
Background: Working for extended hours in a physically and mentally demanding profession has subjected nurses to occupational fatigue. Limited evidence exists about nurse fatigue alertness changes throughout shift work their relationship with medication errors near misses. Purpose: The purposes of this study were to: (1) assess the between nurses’ alertness, (2) evaluate shift, (3) examine fatigue, Methods: This prospective is part larger mixed-method study. Fatigue data from 14 non-workdays...
Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD) is a peer-reviewed electronic journal established by the National Center for Prevention and Health Promotion. PCD provides an open exchange of information knowledge among researchers, practitioners, policy makers, others who strive to improve health public through chronic disease prevention.
Internet-based physical activity (PA) interventions have shown promise, although findings remain equivocal. We used formative research to enhance a previously demonstrated program (Step into Motion) with the goal of developing an Internet poised for dissemination.We conducted focus groups identify features targeted theoretical constructs (social cognitive theory) predictive PA behavior and rated as "useful increasing PA." identified 5 theory-targeted useful PA: (1) tracking/logging calendar...
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to test the user acceptability (Phase 1) and effects 2) completing sedentary work while using a seated active workstation. Design/methodology/approach In Phase 1, 45 employees completed an questionnaire immediately after performing tasks (typing, mousing) workstation for 30 minutes. 2, tested differential at two different workstations (sedentary vs workstation) on physiological (energy expenditure, muscle activity, heart rate, blood pressure), cognitive...
Prolonged sitting induces endothelial dysfunction in healthy young adults, which has been demonstrated to be offset by intermittent fidgeting and standing. No information exists on the effect of sedentary middle-age whether common workplace counterinterventions (i.e., desk standing/desk pedaling) mitigate sitting-induced dysfunction.The objective this study was examine breaking up prolonged with standing or underdesk pedaling prevents popliteal artery sedentary, overweight/obese office...
