The COVID-19 pandemic altered many facets of life. We aimed to evaluate the impact COVID-19-related public health guidelines on physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior, mental health, and their interrelations. Cross-sectional data were collected from 3052 US adults 3–8 April 2020 (from all 50 states). Participants self-reported pre- post-COVID-19 levels moderate vigorous PA, sitting, screen time. Currently-followed guidelines, stress, loneliness, positive (PMH), social connectedness,...
Wearable biosensors promise real-time measurements of chemicals in human sweat, with the potential for dramatic improvements medical diagnostics and athletic performance through continuous metabolite electrolyte monitoring. However, sweat sensing is still its infancy, questions remain about whether can be used purposes. sensors are focused on proof-of-concept designs that not scalable multisubject trials, which could elucidate utility health Moreover, many wearable do include microfluidics...
Objectives Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, major changes how, or even whether, we work have occurred. This study examines associations of changing COVID-19-related employment conditions with physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Methods Data from 2,303 US adults in prior were collected April 3rd-7th, 2020. Participants reported whether their remained unchanged, they working home (WFH) when had not been before, lost job due pandemic. Validated questionnaires assessed activity, sitting...
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disease characterized by intense and debilitating not due to physical activity that has persisted for at least 6 months, post-exertional malaise, unrefreshing sleep, accompanied number of secondary symptoms, including sore throat, memory concentration impairment, headache, muscle/joint pain. In patients with significant worsening symptoms occurs following exertion exercise challenge serves as useful method identifying...
Objective To investigate the levels and correlates of physical activity during COVID-19 social distancing in a sample UK public. Methods This paper presents analyses data from cross-sectional study. Levels were self-reported. Participants also reported on sociodemographic clinical data. The association between several factors was studied using regression models. Results Nine hundred eleven adults included (64.0% women 50.4% participants aged 35–64 years). 75.0% met guidelines distancing....
ABSTRACT The endocannabinoid (eCB) system is implicated in the pathophysiology of depression and responsive to acute exercise healthy adults. Purpose We aimed describe changes serum eCB across a prescribed moderate (MOD) self-selected/preferred (PREF) intensity session women with major depressive disorder (MDD) determine relationships between mood states. Methods Women MDD ( n = 17) exercised separate sessions for 20 min on cycle ergometer at both MOD or PREF within-subjects design. Blood...
Objectives: To examine associations of changing employment conditions, specifically switching to working from home (WFH) or job loss, with mental health, using data collected during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Data 2,301 US adults in prior were April 3rd−7th, 2020. Participants reported whether their remained unchanged, they WFH when had not been before, lost due Outcomes symptoms depression, anxiety, stress, loneliness, and positive health (PMH) assessed validated questionnaires. Linear...
Post exertion malaise is one of the most debilitating aspects Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, yet neurobiological consequences are largely unexplored. The objective study was to determine neural acute exercise using functional brain imaging. Fifteen female Syndrome patients and 15 healthy controls completed 30 min submaximal (70% peak heart rate) on a cycle ergometer. Symptom assessments (e.g. fatigue, pain, mood) imaging data were collected week prior 24 h following...
Excessive sedentary time is related to poor mental health. However, much of the current literature uses cross-sectional data and/or self-reported time, and does not assess factors such as bout length. To address these limitations, influence objectively measured including length (i.e. <30 min, ≥30 min) on mood, stress, sleep, was assessed in 271 healthy adults (49% women; age 27.8 ± 3.7) across a 1-year period between 2011 2013 Columbia, SC. Participants completed Profile Mood States...
This project evaluated the impact of COVID-19-related public health restrictions on physical activity, sedentary time, mental health, and their interrelations. Cross-sectional data were collected from 3,052 US adults April 3rd-7th, 2020. Physical sitting, screen both pre- post-COVID-19-related restrictions, along with currently-followed current self-reported. Participants grouped by meeting activity guidelines, ≥8 hrs/day or time. was reduced 32.3% among previously active participants but...
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered much of US life with shifts to working-from-home and social distancing changing day-to-day behavior. We aimed determine the self-reported prevalence meeting physical activity guidelines, stratified by sitting time during early lockdown phase in adults. conducted two cross-sectional internet-based studies April 3rd-May 4th, 2020 convenience samples Participants daily weekly moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) via questions from International Physical...
The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and associated pandemic has resulted in systemic changes to much of life, affecting both physical mental health. Time spent outside is with positive health; however, opportunities be were likely affected by the COVID-19 public health restrictions that encouraged people not leave their homes unless it was required. This study investigated impact acute on time April 2020, quantified association between stress health, using secondary analyses...
The COVID-19 pandemic imposed major changes on daily-life routine worldwide. To the best of our knowledge, no study quantified moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behaviors (SB) its correlates in Brazilians. This aimed (i) evaluate (pre versus during pandemic) time spent MVPA SB self-isolating Brazilians pandemic, (ii) explore correlates. A cross-sectional, retrospective, self-report online web survey, evaluating pre people Brazil. Sociodemographic, behavioral,...

Evidence supports the antidepressant effects of resistance exercise training (RET); however, findings among young adults at-risk for elevated depressive symptoms are limited. This randomized controlled trial examined eight weeks ecologically-valid, guidelines-based RET, compared to a wait-list control, on 55 (26±5y; 36 female) with and without subclinical, or analogue, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (AGAD; Psychiatric Diagnostic Screening Questionnaire GAD subscale ≥6 Penn State Worry ≥45)...
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) has been shown to be related brain health in older adults. In individuals at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD), CRF may a modifiable factor that could attenuate anticipated declines volume and episodic memory. The objective of this study was determine the association between both hippocampal memory cohort cognitively healthy adults with familial and/or genetic (AD).Eighty-six enrollees from Wisconsin Registry Prevention participated study....
To examine the theoretical substitutions of screen exposure, non-screen sitting time, moderate and vigorous physical activity with depressive anxiety symptoms in South American adults during COVID-19 pandemic.A cross-sectional study first months pandemic data from 1981 Chile, Argentina, Brazil.Depressive were assessed using Beck Depression Anxiety Inventories. Participants also reported activity, sociodemographic, tobacco use data. Isotemporal substitution models created multivariable linear...
