OBJECTIVE: The National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) guidelines preschoolers recommend 120 minutes of physical activity daily. Two issues, however, create a situation whereby substantial variation in estimated prevalence rates (in)active are reported. First, NASPE have been interpreted multiple ways. Second, objective monitoring via accelerometry is the most widely accepted measure preschoolers' activity, yet cut points provide vastly different estimates activity....
Pedometer step-frequency thresholds (120 steps·min-1, SPM) corresponding to moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) have been proposed for youth. Pedometers now internal mechanisms record time spent at or above a user-specified SPM. If pedometers provide comparable MVPA (P-MVPA) estimates those from accelerometry, this would broad application research and the general public. The purpose of study was examine convergent validity P-MVPA accelerometer-MVPA youth.Youth (N = 149,...
Objective: Many states in the southern region of United States are recognized for higher rates obesity, physical inactivity, and chronic disease. These therefore their disproportionate public health burden. The purpose this study was to investigate state-level distributions cardiorespiratory fitness, body mass index (BMI), injuries among US Army recruits order determine whether or not certain may also pose threats military readiness national security. Methods: Sex-specific values fitness 165...
Background: Efforts to increase population levels of physical activity are increasingly taking the form strategic plans at national, state/regional, and local levels. The processes employed for developing such have not been described previously. purpose this article is chronicle in lessons learned from US National Physical Activity Plan (NPAP). Methods: Coordinating Committee oversaw development NPAP. Key steps process included creating a private–public coalition based private sector,...

In Brief Objective: This study aims to evaluate compositional factors, including collaborative age and size, community, policy, political engagement activities that may influence collaboratives' effectiveness in advancing environmental improvements policies for active living. Design/Participants/Setting: Structured interviews were conducted with coordinators. Survey items included organizational composition, reported policy change. Descriptive statistics multivariate models used investigate...
IntroductionObesity and physical inactivity are considered possible U.S. national security threats because of their impact on military recruitment. The objectives this study were to estimate the prevalence (1) BMI eligibility for entrance, (2) adequate activity participation among BMI-eligible population, (3) combined activity.MethodsThis cross-sectional nonpregnant, military-aged civilians (aged 17–42 years) used objectively measured weight height data self-reported aerobic from 2015–2020...
In Brief Context: Collaborative groups are integral in health promotion and disease prevention use an ecological approach to address complex conditions community settings. Little is known about collaborative efforts promote active living. Objective: The objective of this analysis explore successes challenges promoting living their communities. Design/Setting: One-time, structured telephone interviews were conducted assess the composition tactics activities approaches used by collaboratives...
Physical activity coalitions are increasingly forming to meet the demands associated with policy, systems, and environmental change necessary realize increases in population levels of physical activity. Little is known about what makes successful; however, evidence from community-based other public health domains suggests that factors related each organization joins a coalition may explain success or failure.The objective this study was employ qualitative methods understand organizations'...
The U.S. National Physical Activity Plan (NPAP) is a comprehensive strategic plan aimed at increasing physical activity levels in all segments of the American population. purpose this paper to summarize development NPAP, provide an update on status and comment future NPAP. NPAP was released May 2010 designed complement 2008 Guidelines for Americans. Since then, nonprofit corporation, Alliance, has been established oversee elements efforts have made evaluate awareness impact Also, several key...
Physical activity (PA) coalitions are a fundamental component of efforts to increase population levels PA in the United States. Coalitions often composed organizational members including government agencies, for-profit corporations, and nonprofit organizations. Very little is known about coalitions, their members, factors related success.First, this study aimed describe characteristics across Second, coalitions. Third, investigate association between membership coalition success.A...
