Studies had not yet overcome the most relevant barriers to physical activity (PA) adherence. An exercise referral scheme (ERS) with mechanisms promote social support might enhance adherence PA in long term.
Little is known about how sitting time, alone or in combination with markers of physical activity (PA), influences mental well-being and work productivity. Given the need to develop workplace PA interventions that target employees' health related efficiency outcomes; this study examined associations between self-reported PA, productivity office employees. Descriptive cross-sectional study. Spanish university employees (n = 557) completed a survey measuring socio-demographics, total domain...
Since the first Lancet Series on urban design, transport, and health (Series 1) was published in 2016, urgency to make transition healthy sustainable cities worldwide has intensified. That year, UN's Sustainable Development Goals1UN General AssemblyResolution adopted by Assembly: transforming our world: 2030 agenda for development. United Nations, New YorkOct, 2015Google Scholar promoting prosperity while protecting planet ensuring equity came into force. WHO also released its Shanghai...
Interventions designed to increase workplace physical activity may not automatically reduce high volumes of sitting, a behaviour independently linked chronic diseases such as obesity and type II diabetes. This study compared the impact two different walking strategies had on step counts reported sitting times.Participants were white-collar university employees (n = 179; age 41.3 +/- 10.1 years; 141 women), who volunteered undertook standardised ten-week intervention at three sites....
Encouraging office workers to 'sit less and move more' encompasses two public health priorities. However, there is little evidence on the effectiveness of workplace interventions for reducing sitting, even about longer term effects such still dual-focused interventions. This study assessed short mid-term impacts a web-based intervention (Walk@WorkSpain, W@WS; 2010-11) self-reported sitting time, step counts physical risk factors (waist circumference, BMI, blood pressure) chronic...
The aim of this study was to examine relationships between activPAL™-determined sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA) with academic achievement. A total 120 undergraduates (N = 57 female; 20.6 ± 2.3 years) participated in the study. Academic achievement measured as grade point average obtained from all completed courses. Participants wore on right tight an activPAL™ for 7 days determine time, number breaks, bouts, standing light moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA). Separate multiple...
Using a randomised controlled trial design, this feasibility study assessed the impact of two walking interventions on quality life (QoL) and job performance Catalan university employees. A convenience sample 70 employees completed baseline intervention measures step counts (Yamax SW 200 pedometer), wellbeing (SF-12 questionnaire) work (Work Limitations Questionnaire) over 9 weeks. Before intervention, (five working days) were used to randomly allocate participants control ( n = 26),...
Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the influence readiness change for physical activity (PA), sociodemographic factors, lifestyle and status (PAS) on perceived barriers among Spanish university students. Participants: Seven hundred seventy two (n = 772) men women ages 17-39 at a north-west regional in Spain participated study. Methods: International Physical Activity Questionnaire, States Change Behaviour Questionnaire Self-perceived Barriers were used. Description,...
Few studies have examined the impact of 'sit less, move more' interventions on workplace performance. This study assessed short and mid-term impacts patterns change within, a 19-week web-based intervention (Walk@WorkSpain; W@WS; 2010-11) employees´ presenteeism, mental well-being lost work performance.A site randomised control trial recruited employees at six Spanish university campuses (n = 264; 42 ± 10 years; 171 female), assigned by worksite campus to an Intervention (IG; used n 129; 87...
Objectives The use of brief screening tools to identify inactive patients is essential improve the efficiency primary care-based physical activity (PA) programs. However, current employment short PA questionnaires within Spanish care pathway unclear. This study evaluated validity version a Brief Physical Activity Assessment Tool (SBPAAT). Methods A validation was carried out EVIDENT project. convenience sample (n = 1,184; age 58.9±13.7 years; 60.5% female) completed SBPAAT and 7-day Recall...
To examine combined associations between self-reported context-specific sitting time (ST) and physical activity (PA) with working memory capacity (WMC) academic achievement in a sample of Spanish adults.Undergraduate students (n = 371; 21 years ± 3 years, 44% female) were recruited from University Vic-Central Catalonia.Participants completed 54-item survey that assessed socio-demographic variables (e.g. age, gender, year), min/week light (LPA), moderate (MPA) vigorous (VPA) intensity PA...
Abstract Background A new paradigm of hybrid working exists, with most office workers sharing their work between the and home environment. Working from increases time spent or prolonged sitting, which is associated an increased risk chronic disease. Interventions to reduce sitting time, specifically designed for both home-office environments, are required address this growing public health issue. This study presents a protocol evaluate effectiveness digital intervention (Click2Move) improve...
Office workers have the highest estimated daily sedentary time (ST). The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in a switch from office-based work to home-office or hybrid of both. Home-office has been shown increase ST compared office, which may deleterious health consequences. This study explored managers perspectives on factors influencing their employee's ability reduce context. A descriptive qualitative study. Semi-structured interviews (n = 20), were mapped COM-B model, conducted with Ireland,...
Background Hybrid work is the new modus operandi for many office workers, leading to more sedentary behavior than office-only working. Given potential of digital interventions reduce and current lack studies evaluating these home settings, it crucial develop such contexts involving all stakeholders. Objective This study aimed reach expert consensus on most feasible strategies usable elements as a delivery method in context. Methods A modified Delphi including 3 survey rounds focus groups was...
Little is known about the types of 'sit less, move more' strategies that appeal to office employees, or what factors influence their use. This study assessed uptake in Spanish university employees engaged an intervention, and those enabled limited strategy uptake. The used a mixed method design. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with academics administrators (n = 12; 44 ± 12 mean SD age; 6 women) at three points across five-month data identify influenced strategies. Employees who...
Prolonged sitting time has negative consequences on health, although the population is not well aware of these harmful effects. We explored opinions expressed by primary care patients diagnosed as overweight or moderately obese concerning their spent sitting, willingness to change, and barriers, facilitators, goals expectations related limiting this behaviour.A descriptive-interpretive qualitative study was carried out at three healthcare centres in Barcelona, Spain, included 23 with...
This study examined relationships between physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) with state-trait anxiety stress. State-Trait (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), psychological stress (Perceived Stress Scale), SB across domains during weekdays weekends (Last 7-day Sedentary Behaviour Questionnaire) PA intensities (International Physical Activity were assessed by self-report in 360 undergraduates (44% females, mean age 20.9 ± 2.93 years).
