Abstract Background Existing sedentary behaviour guidelines for children and youth target overall recreational screen time, without any specific recommendations regarding school-related behaviours (i.e., performed during the school day, or within influence of school). The purpose this paper is to describe development international evidence-based youth, led by Sedentary Behaviour Research Network (SBRN). Methods A panel experts was convened SBRN in November 2020 guide these aged ~ 5–18 years....
The Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Adults (18-64 years and 65 or older) were launched in October 2020 provide evidence-based recommendations physical activity, sedentary behaviour sleep. purpose of this study was to examine whether meeting the overall, different combinations within guidelines, associated with health indicators a representative sample adults.Participants 8,297 adults aged 18 79 from cycles 1 3 Health Measures Survey. They classified as not each required overall...
24-hour movement behaviors, including moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary time (ST), and sleep duration, have important implications for health across the lifespan. However, no studies exist that examined integration of these behaviors in Latin America. The purpose this study was to examine prevalence meeting Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guideline recommendations sociodemographic correlates guidelines adults from eight American countries.This a multi-national...
Objective: This investigation evaluated the effectiveness of a Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) based planning intervention augmented with text messages to reduce student-related sitting time (primary outcome) and increase specific non-sedentary behaviours. Relationships between HAPA volitional constructs sedentary behaviours were also explored. Design: University students (Mage = 21.13 y; SD 4.81) randomized into either (n 28) or control 33) condition. Main Outcome Measures:...
Background Office‐working adults represent an at‐risk population for high levels of sedentary behaviour (SB), which has been associated with increased risk numerous chronic diseases. This study examined the effectiveness a Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) based planning intervention augmented tailored text messages to reduce workplace sitting time (primary outcome) and increase specific non‐SBs (i.e. standing time, walking stretching break frequency, duration). A secondary purpose was...
This study determined if meeting the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines recommendations are associated with all-cause mortality. Participants were 3471 adults from 2005-2006 U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey followed for mortality over 11 years. They classified as or not sleep duration, sedentary behaviour, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). A total of 63.8%, 35.3%, 41.5% participants met sleep, while 12.3% all 3 recommendations. The hazard ratio (HR) in...
The aim of this study was to identify socio-demographic correlates total and domain-specific sedentary behavior (SB).Cross-sectional findings are based on 9218 participants (15-65 years) from the Latin American Study Nutrition Health. Data were collected between September 2014 February 2015. Participants reported time spent in SB across specific domains. Sex, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic (SEL), education level used as sociodemographic indicators.Participants a 373.3 min/day engaged SB. Men,...
Background: This study examined associations between sociodemographic factors and meeting versus not the new Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines recommendations. Methods: The is based on 7651 respondents aged 18–79 years from 2007 to 2013 Health Measures Survey, a nationally representative, cross-sectional survey. Sociodemographic included age, sex, household education, income, race, having chronic condition, smoking status, alcohol consumption, body mass index. Participants were classified...
Using the motivational phase of Health Action Process Approach (HAPA), this study examined whether sedentary behaviour and diabetes information is a meaningful source motivation to reduce daily sitting time among preintending office workers.Participants (N = 218) were randomised into HAPA-intervention (sedentary behaviour), HAPA-attention control (physical activity), or (no treatment) conditions. Following treatment, purpose-built sedentary-related HAPA constructs (risk perception, outcome...
The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between self-reported and device-based measures sedentary behavior (SB) with obesity markers in adults from Latin American countries. Sitting time total spent different SBs were using two questionnaires. Accelerometers used assess time. Body mass index, waist, neck circumferences assessed. highest sitting Argentina, Brazil Costa Rica, observed Peru. Neither time, or associated body index. Device-based positively waist circumference...
Background: A number of studies have examined dynamic seating in the classroom as a practical, low-cost, and effective strategy to allow students accumulate light-intensity physical activity, improve instructional atmosphere increase academic performance students. One outcome interest associated with student learning subsequent is attention.Purpose: To provide insight into “state affairs” classroom-based literature that has been published specific emphasis on improving attention among...
Objective This secondary analysis study examined the effects of a 6-week theory-based planning and mHealth text message intervention targeting workplace sitting time on health-related quality life work performance in office workers.Design Office-working adults (Mage=45.18 ± 11.33 years) were randomised into either + (n = 29) or control 31) condition.Outcome Measures Workplace time, spent specific non-sedentary behaviours (e.g. standing), outcomes (i.e. emotional well-being, energy/fatigue,...
