Abstract Background Several narrative reviews have been conducted on the literature examining environmental correlates of physical activity (PA). To date these unable to provide definitive summaries observed associations. This study utilizes meta-analytical techniques calculate associations between selected characteristics and PA. Methods Published studies were identified from electronic databases searches personal files. Studies examined determine constructs most frequently studied....
Background: Persistently poor glycemic control in adult type 1 diabetes patients is a common, complex, and serious problem initiating significant damage to the cardiovascular, renal, neural, visual systems. Currently, there plethora of low-cost free self-management smartphone applications available online stores. Objective: The aim this study was examine effectiveness freely application combined with text-message feedback from certified educator improve other diabetes-related outcomes...
Although both physical inactivity and poor sleep are deleteriously associated with mortality, the joint effects of these two behaviours remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate association activity (PA) all-cause cause-specific mortality risks.380 055 participants aged 55.9 (8.1) years (55% women) from UK Biobank were included. Baseline PA levels categorised as high, medium, low no moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) based on current public health guidelines. We into healthy, intermediate an...
Background: Website-delivered physical activity interventions are successful in producing short-term behavior change. However, problems with engagement and retention of participants these programs prevent long-term New ways accessing online content (eg, via smartphones) may enhance interventions, which turn improve the effectiveness programs. Objective: To measure potential a newly developed smartphone application to health behaviors existing members website-delivered program (10,000 Steps,...
Background: The high number of adult males engaging in low levels physical activity and poor dietary practices, the health risks posed by these behaviors, necessitate broad-reaching intervention strategies. Information technology (IT)-based (Web mobile phone) interventions can be accessed large numbers people, yet there are few reported IT-based targeting males' practices. Objective: This study examines effectiveness a 9-month (ManUp) to improve activity, literacy middle-aged compared...
Background: Data from controlled trials indicate that Web-based interventions generally suffer low engagement and high attrition. This is important because the level of exposure to intervention content linked effectiveness. However, data real-life behavior change are scarce, especially when looking at physical activity promotion. Objective: The aims this study were (1) examine with freely available promotion program 10,000 Steps, (2) how use a smartphone app may be helpful in increasing...
Background: Global positioning systems (GPS), geographic information (GIS), and accelerometers are powerful tools to explain activity within a built environment, yet little integration of these has taken place. This study aimed assess the feasibility combining GPS, GIS, accelerometry understand transport-related physical (TPA) in adults. Methods: Forty adults wore an accelerometer portable GPS unit over 7 consecutive days completed demographics questionnaire 7-day travel log. Accelerometer...
Pedometers are an effective self-monitoring tool to increase users' physical activity. However, a range of advanced trackers that measure activity 24 hours per day have emerged (eg, Fitbit). The current study aims determine people's use, interest and preferences for trackers.A cross-sectional national telephone survey was conducted in Australia with 1349 respondents.Regression analyses were used whether tracker use over pedometers is function demographics. Preferences features reasons not...
