Previous studies have reported that walking cadence (steps/min) is associated with absolutely-defined intensity (metabolic equivalents; METs), such cadence-based thresholds could serve as reasonable proxy values for ambulatory intensities. To establish definitive heuristic (i.e., evidence-based, practical, rounded) linking moderate (3 METs) and vigorous (6 intensity. In this laboratory-based cross-sectional study, 76 healthy adults (10 men 10 women representing each 5-year age-group category...
Background The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is a successful framework for guiding behavior change programs several health behaviors, yet its application to reduce of sedentary has been neglected. In addition, no data exist regarding the association between determinants behaviors based on TTM and physical activity behavior. purpose this study was investigate college students' stages motivational readiness avoid relevant psychological using newly developed questionnaires identify current...
This study aimed to catalog the relationships between step-based accelerometer metrics indicative of physical activity volume (steps per day, adjusted a pedometer scale), intensity (mean steps minute from highest, not necessarily consecutive, minutes in day; peak 30-min cadence), and sedentary behavior (percent time at zero cadence relative wear time; %TZC) cardiometabolic risk factors.
People's health information-seeking behaviors differ by their literacy levels. This study assessed the relationship between and college students' levels of trust in use a range information sources COVID-19. We collected data from August to December 2020 among students (n = 763) through an online survey. used measure containing three self-reported survey questions, developed CDC. extent which participants trusted any sixteen different about Respondents reported high trusting using COVID-19...
Steps/day is widely utilized to estimate the total volume of ambulatory activity, but it does not directly reflect intensity, a central tenet public health guidelines. Cadence (steps/min) represents an overlooked opportunity describe intensity activity. We sought establish thresholds linking observed cadence with objectively measured in 6–20 year olds. One hundred twenty participants completed multiple 5-min bouts on treadmill, from 13.4 m/min (0.80 km/h) 134.0 (8.04 km/h). The protocol was...
This cross-sectional analysis estimated differences, based on disability status, in college students' ( n = 777) experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were modeled using t -tests and logistic regression. Most participants white (86.2%), women (66.4%). The mode age was 23. A third (35.6%) had at least one disability. Students reported high rates of psychosocial distress, like fear contracting (59.7%) spreading (74.3%) COVID-19, worry about friends family (83.7%), increased anxiety...
Objective: To evaluate the measurement properties of Transtheoretical Model (TTM) questionnaire for sedentary behaviors among college students and to examine validity reliability developed TTM questionnaire.Methods: Overall, 225 were recruited.For 2-week test-retest reliability, a random sub-sample (N = 108) participants was used.Results: Statistically significant differences found across stages on tests concurrent (χ 2 25.0,p < .001)and con-struct (p .01)validity.In addition, internal...
To explore experiences, beliefs, and information-seeking behavior around COVID-19 among college students in Oklahoma.
Physical inactivity has been linked to rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease through insulin resistance other mechanisms. Although sedentary workplace environments have unintentionally contributed the risk for chronic diseases, innovations in environment could potentially rectify this public occupational health problem.To evaluate effects light-intensity physical activity using a pedal desk (PD) compared with standard (STD) pilot study on postprandial metabolic responses work...
The purpose of this study is to establish evidence validity for wearable activity monitors providing real-time cadence against a criterion measure. Thirty-six healthy adults, aged 18–65 years, participated in the study. Four including 2 watch-based and sensors attaching shoelaces were tested. Each participant completed protocol consisting distinct components: (1) treadmill (2) overground protocol. Lin’s concordance correlation mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) calculated comparisons...
Objective: In this study, we examined physical activity (PA) engagement outside of college education (PE) classes using the Transtheoretical Model (TTM). Methods: Overall, 414 university students enrolled in PE voluntarily participated study. Participants were asked to complete a survey packet measure 4 core constructs TTM and their PA level performed classes. Among participants, 150 randomly selected wear triaxial accelerometer for 7 consecutive days identify level. Descriptive statistics...
Objectives: In this study, we investigated the differences in strategic constructs of Transtheoretical Model (TTM) across accelerometer-determined sedentary time. Methods: A total 201 college students participated a TTM questionnaire for behavior and wore an accelerometer 7 consecutive days to assess Multivariate analyses variances (MANOVA) with post hoc pairwise comparisons were conducted determine mean quintiles Tests linear trends using orthogonal polynomial coefficients. Results:...
PURPOSE: To evaluate step counting accuracy of the ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometer in waist- and wrist-worn locations during simulated free-living activities among children adolescents. METHODS: 123 adolescents (6-20 years) performed (i.e., seated watching a movie basketball skill development activity) while concurrently wearing accelerometers on their waist non-dominant wrist. Each activity was for 5 minutes visually tallied steps served as criterion (steps/min). Accelerometer data were...
PURPOSE: To investigate patterns of physical activity and sedentary time among college students outside a education (PE) course. METHODS: Physical behaviors were measured by both accelerometer self-administered questionnaires university (n=225) who enrolled in weight training An additional 153 non-PE also recruited as control group. Bouted episodes moderate to vigorous intensity activity, total time, prevalence meeting guidelines compared within between (i.e., men vs. women, class non-class...
Cadence (steps/min) is strongly correlated with intensity of effort defined as metabolic cost in adults such that 100 steps/min has been consistently considered a reasonable heuristic value representative moderate-intensity activity (3 equivalents [METs]). No studies have yet looked at visually tallied (i.e., the criterion standard) cadence and verified absolutely-defined (or any other level) children adolescents spanning these developmental years. PURPOSE: To quantify relationship between...
Millions of older adults, equivalent to more than one out four, fall each year. As the first doubles one's chances falling again, prevention in adults is a public health priority. It was well established that most falls occur on flat during walking. Thus, identifying changes gait parameters before experiencing may be strong predictor falling. PURPOSE: To examine associated with risk falls. METHODS: Two hundred (72.8 ± 5.6 years; 74% women) participated study. Participants' were measured...
The Fall Risk Assessment (FRA) system, comprising a balance measure, body composition analyzer, and leg muscle dynamometer, has been newly developed to predict the risk of falls. FRA system provides comprehensive fall factors such as sensory, nervous, integrated abilities, musculoskeletal systems an individual's risk. However, research on validity is lacking. PURPOSE: To validate using evidence convergent known-group difference validity. METHODS: Two hundred older adults (72.76 ± 5.61 years;...
