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...

This study describes the recruitment strategies for a 6-week telephone-delivered walking program adults with arthritis, enrollment yields per strategy, and differences in participant sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., age, income, race) across strategies. Adults arthritis were recruited to participate clinical trial examining effects of Walk With Ease (WWE) program. Enrollment yield was calculated as ratio participants randomized by strategy. each method compared between age (<65...

To investigate change in health behaviors and anxiety one year after the onset of COVID-19 pandemic.

Although knee replacement is effective for improving pain and physical function, subsequent improvements in activity typically do not follow. As a result, many patients spend most of their day engaged sedentary behavior, which may put them at higher risk experiencing poor function disability. Intervening on time, rather than activity, be more feasible first-step approach modifying activity-related behaviors adults who received replacement. The purpose this study to examine the use mobile...

Abstract Background Outpatient physical therapy may be an opportune time to promote aerobic activity after knee replacement; however, it is unknown if feasible integrate a intervention within standard therapy. Objective To examine the feasibility and acceptability of delivered outpatient for adults replacement. Methods As part cluster randomized trial, with replacement starting were recruited across four sites. Sites therapists either enhanced or control condition. The consisted...

To explore barriers and facilitators to healthy eating during the COVID-19 pandemic among adults enrolled in an internet-based weight loss program. Adults internet-delivered program were recruited participate. Participants completed online study surveys a semi-structured interview via telephone between June 1, 2020 22, 2020. The included questions how has influenced dietary behaviors. Constant comparative analysis was used identify key themes. (n = 30) primarily female (83%) white (87%),...

Objective : The primary purpose was to examine the agreement in sedentary, light, and moderate vigorous minutes step counts between activPAL micro4 ActiGraph GT9X adults following total knee replacement. A secondary accelerometers at two different time points after surgery (∼1 3 months). Methods Participants a randomized trial wore monitors simultaneously for 7 days ∼1 months intraclass correlations spent sedentary behavior, activity addition were estimated determine consistency monitors....

Physical activity is a therapeutic modality in alleviating arthritis-related symptoms, yet most individuals fail to attain recommended guidelines. The Purpose of the Research was briefly summarize effects aerobic and resistance exercise on arthritis highlight some challenges these programs, provide future strategies increase participation physical activity. Methods. A brief search recent literature interventions health related outcomes adults with performed. Results. For activity,...

PURPOSE: To examine the feasibility and acceptability of a physical activity intervention delivered within outpatient therapy for adults after knee replacement. METHODS: As part cluster randomized trial, with replacement starting were recruited across four sites. Sites therapists either an Enhanced Physical Activity Intervention or served as Control condition. The consisted providing standard plus goal setting, problem-solving, use some principles motivational interviewing to promote 150...

The CDC created guidelines to reduce the spread of coronavirus that may have serious implications for physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviors older adults, a group who spends large portion their day engaged in behavior has lowest PA levels among all age groups. Little is known about impact COVID-19 pandemic on daily adults. PURPOSE: To understand adults' involvement explore influence had these behaviors. METHODS: South Carolina residents aged 65+ living independently were recruited...

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare differences and level agreement between adults self-reported ST objectively measured ST. METHODS: As part a sedentary reduction intervention for following knee replacement (TKR), participants (screening item SIT-Q) (activPAL). screening asked hours per day (h/d) that spend sitting. SIT-Q-7d is self-administered questionnaire quantifies in the last 7 days by assessing behavior across five domains daily life activities calculates weekday...

PURPOSE: To examine the agreement between activPAL and ActiGraph accelerometers for measuring sedentary, light, moderate-to-vigorous activity minutes step counts adults following knee replacement. A secondary aim was to compare differences in at ~1 3 months after surgery. METHODS: Participants with replacement from a randomized physical intervention wore monitors simultaneously start of outpatient therapy (32.5 ± 9.5 days surgery) post-surgery. Only ≥10 hours/day wear time both concurrently...
