<h3>Background</h3>A challenge in intensive obesity treatment is making care scalable. Little known about whether the outcome of physician-directed weight loss can be improved by adding mobile technology.<h3>Methods</h3>We conducted a 2-arm, 12-month study (October 1, 2007, through September 31, 2010). Seventy adults (body mass index >25 and ≤40 [calculated as kilograms divided height meters squared]) were randomly assigned either to standard-of-care group alone (standard group) or...
The purpose of this study was to compare a technology-based system, an in-person behavioral weight loss intervention, and combination both over 6-month period in overweight adults. Fifty-one subjects (age: 44.2 ± 8.7 years, BMI: 33.7 3.6 kg/m(2)) participated program were randomized one three groups: standard (SBWL), SBWL plus system (SBWL+TECH), or only (TECH). All groups reduced caloric intake progressively increased moderate intensity physical activity. SBWL+TECH attended weekly meetings....
Prevalent co-occurring poor diet and physical inactivity convey chronic disease risk to the population. Large magnitude behavior change can improve behaviors recommended levels, but multiple interventions produce small, poorly maintained effects.
Purpose The main purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy wristband activity monitors on measuring step counts at prescribed speeds a treadmill and under short bouts common daily activities. Methods Thirty healthy young adults wore three both wrists while walking or jogging different (54, 80, 107, 134 m·min−1) performing six activities for 5 min each. included Fitbit Flex, Garmin Vivofit, Jawbone UP. conditions two sitting (playing tablet computer game folding laundry), (pushing...
To determine the effects on weight loss of three abbreviated behavioral interventions with and without coaching mobile technology.A randomized controlled efficacy study 6-month treatments was conducted in 96 adults obesity: 1) self-guided (SELF), 2) standard (STND), or 3) technology-supported (TECH). STND TECH received eight in-person group treatment sessions. SELF used paper diaries to self-monitor diet, activity, weight; a smartphone application social networking features wireless...
CISS welcomes and encourages articles addressing a broad range of topics across sport science which include but is not limited to genetic, biological, physical, physiological, psychological, pedagogical, sociological, environmental, policy among other aspects. In this editorial, we highlight several interest for each our sections within CISS: biology & medicine, biomechanics informatics, movement exercise science, pedagogy history, psychology philosophy, public health, sociology...
BACKGROUND The primary purpose of the current study was to determine prospective associations accelerometer‐assessed physical activity intensity and sedentary time with health‐related quality life (HRQOL) indicators among survivors breast cancer. METHODS A total 358 cancer wore an accelerometer for 7 days at baseline assess different intensities (light, lifestyle, moderate vigorous) behavior. Six months later, completed online questionnaires that assessed HRQOL (disease‐specific HRQOL,...
Obesity remains a major public health challenge, demanding cost-effective and scalable weight management programs. Delivering key treatment components via mobile technology offers potential way to reduce expensive in-person contact, thereby lowering the cost burden of intensive loss The ENGAGED study is theory-guided, randomized controlled trial designed examine feasibility efficacy an abbreviated smartphone-supported program. Ninety-six obese adults (BMI 30–39.9 kg/m2) will be one three...
Weight reduction programs are not generally designed or adapted for people with physical disabilities. This study examined the effect of a 9-months remote, telephone-based weight management program disabilities using Web-based system (Personalized Online and Exercise Response System [POWERS]).A total 102 participants (mean ± SD age, 46.5 12.7 yrs; body mass index, 32.0 5.8 kg/m(2)) disability (spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, stroke, lupus) were...
Objective To identify an evidence‐based minimum physical activity threshold to predict improved or sustained high function for adults with lower‐extremity joint symptoms. Methods Prospective multisite data from 1,629 adults, age ≥49 years symptomatic pain/aching/stiffness, participating in the Osteoarthritis Initiative accelerometer monitoring substudy were clinically assessed 2 apart. Improved/high 2‐year gait speed and patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) based on improving remaining best...
Objective Intensive behavioral obesity treatments face scalability challenges, but evidence is lacking about which treatment components could be cut back without reducing weight loss. The Optimization of Remotely Delivered Lifestyle Treatment for Obesity (Opt‐IN) study applied the Multiphase Strategy to develop an entirely remotely delivered, technology‐supported weight‐loss package maximize amount loss attainable ≤$500. Methods Six‐month was examined among adults ( N = 562) with BMI ≥ 25...
Objective Walk With Ease (WWE) is a 6‐week arthritis‐appropriate evidence‐based physical activity program traditionally offered in face‐to‐face format. As many populations encounter participation barriers to in‐person programs, WWE was modified for telephone delivery (WWE‐T). The short‐ and long‐term effects of this on arthritis‐related outcomes were examined. Methods Participants (n=267) with arthritis randomized WWE‐T or waitlist control. participants received 2 calls/week (1 group 1...
Abstract: Lower cost alternatives are needed for the traditional in-person behavioral weight loss programs to overcome challenges of lowering worldwide prevalence overweight and obesity. Smartphones have become ubiquitous provide a unique platform aid in delivery program. The technological capabilities smartphone may address certain limitations program, while also reducing burden on participants, interventionists, health care providers. Awareness advantages smartphones offer has led rapid...
Breaking up sitting time with light- or moderate-intensity physical activity may help to alleviate some negative health effects of sedentary behavior, but few studies have examined ways effectively intervene. This feasibility study the acceptability a new technology (NEAT!) developed interrupt prolonged bouts (≥20 min) among adults type 2 diabetes. Eight nine participants completed 1-month intervention and agreed that NEAT! made them more conscious time. Most (87.5 %) expressed desire use in...
Objective We examined the accuracy of data from an affordable personal monitor (Fitbit Flex) compared with that a research‐grade accelerometer worn simultaneously for 7 days; high would support substitution this less‐expensive activity in future community‐based arthritis research. Methods Subjects (N = 35) chronic knee symptoms were recruited pilot intervention study using Fitbits to increase physical employees at urban corporation. wore days Fitbit Flex (wrist‐worn) and ActiGraph GT 3X+...
Purpose: We sought to identify patient-reported barriers and facilitators healthy eating physical activity among patients before or after knee arthroplasty.Materials methods: Twenty with osteoarthritis aged 40–79 years who had arthroplasty surgery scheduled completed within 3 months were interviewed. Interview topics included perceived surgery. Interviews coded analyzed using constant comparative analysis.Results: 11 pre-operative (67.1 ± 7.6 years, 45.5% female, BMI 31.2 6.3) nine...
The obesity epidemic is heightening chronic disease risk globally. Online weight management (OWM) communities could potentially promote loss among large numbers of people at low cost. Because little known about the impact these online communities, we examined relationship between individual and social network variables, in a large, international OWM programme. We studied activity change 22,419 members an system during six-month period, focusing especially on 2033 with least one friend within...
Background: The total time a patient is disabled likely has greater influence on his or her quality of life than the initial occurrence disability alone. Objective: To compare effect long-term, structured physical activity program with that health education intervention proportion assessments indicating major mobility (MMD) (that is, MMD burden) and risk for transitions into out MMD. Design: Single-blinded, parallel-group, randomized trial. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01072500) Setting: 8 U.S....
