Work from home has increased greatly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and concerns have been raised that this would change physical behaviours. In present study, 11 Brazilian office workers (five women, six men; mean [SD] age 39.3 [9.6] years) wore two triaxial accelerometers fixed on upper back right thigh continuously for five days, including a weekend, before (September 2019), again while working at (July 2020). We determined time used in behaviours: sedentary, standing, light activity...

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the physical behaviours of office workers worldwide, but studies comparing between countries with similar restrictions policies are rare. This study aimed to document and compare 24-hour time-use compositions among Brazilian Swedish on working non-working days during pandemic. Methods Physical were monitored over 7 using thigh-worn accelerometers in 73 202 workers. Daily exhaustively described terms sedentary behaviour (SED) short (<...

Sit-stand desks have been suggested as an initiative to increase posture variation among office workers. However, there is limited evidence of what would be preferable combinations time sitting and standing. The aim this study was determine compare perceived pleasantness, acceptability, pain, fatigue for 5 patterns standing at a sit-stand desk.Thirty postgraduate students were equally divided into normal-weight (mean body mass index 22.8 kg/m2) overweight/obese 28.1 group. They performed 3...

Musculoskeletal disorders are prevalent among agricultural workers, increasing the risk of work-related diseases due to manual labor, repetitive tasks, and prolonged postures. This study evaluates association between physical behaviors during work non-work, measured objectively, musculoskeletal pain in neck, upper back, lower back viticulture workers. A cross-sectional quantitative was conducted with 75 viticulturists both sexes aged 18 years or older. An accelerometer (lying down, sitting,...

This cross-sectional study investigated the association between prolonged standing at work and pain in lower back limbs viticulture workers. Prolonged was self-reported. Lower extremity were obtained using a 0-10 scale categorized as “present” “absent.” The presence of tested binary logistic regression. 320 workers evaluated. Participants mainly female (78.4%), with mean age 36.2 (±9.1) years, 83.1% worked field, 16.9% packaging. prevalence 50.3% for back, 18.1% hip, 20.9% knee, 24.4%...

The aim of this study was to characterise the cardiac autonomic modulation different office tasks performed by workers with access a sit-stand table. Heart rate variability (HRV) 24 measured for two hours during three days in last week table use. HRV indexes and percentage heart reserve (%HRR) were calculated computer non-computer work while sitting or standing, away from desk, informal breaks. All responses demonstrated statistically significant interaction effect between (all p < 0.05)...

Sedentary behavior is a significant health concern among office workers. We completed the same 6-month sit-stand table intervention at work for groups of normal-weight and overweight workers, compared it to not having tables. The caused intended decrease in sitting time both corresponding increase standing. did find compensation effects on physical outside work. Furthermore, change composition fat, lean, bone mass either group. Thus, strategies including initiatives activity are likely...

Abstract Background This study documents and compares temporal patterns of physical behaviours, assessed using accelerometry, on working non-working days among normal-weight (body mass index [BMI] &lt; 25 kg/m 2 ) overweight (BMI ≥ office workers who were either exclusively at the (WAO) or from home (WFH) during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods In this cross-sectional study, behaviours measured over 7 a thigh-worn accelerometer in 43 WAO (21 22 overweight) 73 WFH (33 40 overweight). 24-h...

Abstract Purpose The COVID-19 pandemic has changed work conditions and personal lives of countless workers due to physical distancing, recommendations from home (WFH), especially among office workers. This study aimed investigate whether male female differed in terms engagement, need for recovery, intensity musculoskeletal symptoms, if gender differences were still present depending on the workplace, i.e., WFH or working at (WAO). Methods cross-sectional collected data 56 (age 36.1 ± 10.3...

Abstract Purpose Physical inactivity is a known risk factor for worsening pain, yet accelerometry-based assessment of sedentary behaviour (SED), physical activity (PA) and time-in-bed (as proxy sleep) in individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are still scarce. We aimed to document compare the 24-hour time-use compositions behaviours women TMD during weekdays weekends. Methods Behaviours were monitored over 7 days using thigh-worn accelerometer 44 according Diagnose Criteria (mean...

Abstract Purpose Sedentary behaviour (SED) and low level of physical activity (PA) might be associated with the development or worsening pain. Still, studies assessing behaviours by accelerometry in individuals orofacial pain are limited. This study aims to assess whether women temporomandibular disorders (TMD) present different patterns days (DWP) without (DWoP). Methods Twenty-nine out forty-four (mean age 29.21 sd 7.96) were diagnosed TMD monitored over seven using a thigh-worn...

Resumo - O excesso de veículos circulantes tem como consequência o aumento acidentes automobilísticos. Desta forma, este índice se tornou uma preocupação, devido ao tempo reabilitação e reinserção social do indivíduo. É comum em ocorrerem casos fratura, forma que nem sempre, a consolidação acontece maneira adequada. Com isso, toda falha na fusão óssea, etiologia pode apresentar diversos fatores causa, patologia denominada Pseudoartrose. presente estudo objetivo relatar um caso desta doença:...

Abstract Background: Overactive bladder (OAB) and urinary incontinence (UI) are common conditions among women. However, no studies have evaluated the utility value of this population using different country-specific sets. We aimed to 1) verify difference between preference-based index extracted from Short Form six dimensions (SF-6Dv1) questionnaire in women with OAB sets; 2) translate cross-culturally adapt King's Health Questionnaire Five Dimension (KHQ-5D) into Brazilian Portuguese; 3)...

The effect on muscle activity variation of combining different office tasks is not known. We recorded electromyography from the upper trapezius (UT), wrist extensor (WE) and lumbar erector spinae (LES) in 24 workers during five productive tasks, breaks. Minute-to-minute variance was then estimated, by simulations, a reference 'job' consisting 85% sitting computer work 15% breaks, 'jobs' where replaced proportions other Replacing with non-computer increased estimated by, median, 23% 19% 0%...
