Rethinking participation
Introduction: The Design Studios for Health (DSH) framework is a participatory, partnership-driven model designed to foster equitable collaboration between community members and researchers to address diverse health priorities. This study evaluates outcomes from 11 DSH sessions conducted over 2 years with historically underserved communities, focusing on key indicators of engagement: collaboration, facilitator performance, participant willingness…
Bridging the divide
Objective: This study explores best practices for fostering sustainable and equitable community-academic partnerships in public health, focusing on identifying key barriers, facilitators, and health priorities among historically underrepresented populations in Arizona-including Latinx, Native American, African American, LGBTQ+, immigrant, and refugee communities. Grounded in the Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) model, the study empha…
Early Care and Education Center Environmental Factors Associated with Product- and Process-Based Locomotor Outcomes in Preschool-Age Children
Environmental characteristics of early care and education centers (ECECs) are an important context for preschool-aged children's development, but few studies have examined their relationship with children's locomotor skills. We examined the association between characteristics of the ECEC environment with quantitatively (i.e., product-based) and qualitatively (i.e., process-based) measured locomotor skills, using the Progressive Aerobic Cardiovasc…

Violent crime, police presence and poor sleep in two low-income urban predominantly Black American neighbourhoods
Objective To examine violent crime in relation to sleep and explore pathways, including psychological distress, safety perceptions and perceived police presence, that may account for associations. Methods In 2018, 515 predominantly Black American (94%) adults (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA) provided survey data: actigraphy-assessed sleep duration and wakefulness after sleep onset (WASO). We estimated pathways from violent crime (2016–2018) to sle…
World Health Organization 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour
Objectives To describe new WHO 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Methods The guidelines were developed in accordance with WHO protocols. An expert Guideline Development Group reviewed evidence to assess associations between physical activity and sedentary behaviour for an agreed set of health outcomes and population groups. The assessment used and systematically updated recent relevant systematic reviews; new primary r…
No Significant Differences in Muscle Growth and Strength Development When Consuming Soy and Whey Protein Supplements Matched for Leucine Following a 12 Week Resistance Training Program in Men and Wome…
There are conflicting reports regarding the efficacy of plant versus animal-derived protein to support muscle and strength development with resistance training. The purpose of this study was to determine whether soy and whey protein supplements matched for leucine would comparably support strength increases and muscle growth following 12 weeks of resistance training. Sixty-one untrained young men ( n = 19) and women ( n = 42) (18-35 year) enrolle…
From TVs to tablets
The present study found that poorer dietary choices, as well as other negative health-related impacts, occurred more often as the viewing time of a variety of different screen-based devices increased in a sample of US adults. Future research is needed to better understand what factors among different screen-based devices might affect health behaviors and in turn health-related outcomes. Research is also required to better understand how binge-wat…
Estimating energy expenditure of head-hauling water and grain grinding from heart rate monitor measurements in northern Mozambique
Objective: Even though sub-Saharan African women spend millions of person-hours per day fetching water and pounding grain, to date, few studies have rigorously assessed the energy expenditure costs of such domestic activities. As a result, most analyses that consider head-hauling water or hand pounding of grain with a mortar and pestle (pilão use) employ energy expenditure values derived from limited research. The current paper compares estimated…

Controversies in the Science of Sedentary Behaviour and Health
The development in research concerning sedentary behaviour has been rapid over the past two decades. This has led to the development of evidence and views that have become more advanced, diverse and, possibly, contentious. These include the effects of standing, the breaking up of prolonged sitting and the role of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in the association between sedentary behaviour and health outcomes. The present aim is to…
Reliability of a new measure to assess modern screen time in adults
Results from this study suggest this self-administered questionnaire may be used to successfully classify individuals into different categories of screen time use (e.g. high vs. low); however, it is likely that objective measures are needed to increase precision of screen time assessment
Movement behaviours are associated with lung function in middle-aged and older adults
This is the first study to assess the association of different movement behaviours with lung function among middle-aged and older adults without a respiratory disease. These findings indicate that movement behaviours are correlates of lung function, and that they may be modifiable determinants of the age-associated decline in lung function
Evaluating the Evidence on Sitting, Smoking, and Health
Sitting has frequently been equated with smoking, with some sources even suggesting that smoking is safer than sitting. This commentary highlights how sitting and smoking are not comparable. The most recent meta-analysis of sedentary behavior and health outcomes reported a hazard ratio of 1.22 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.09, 1.41) for all-cause mortality. The relative risk (RR) of death from all causes among current smokers, compared with t…
Wearable Devices to Improve Physical Activity and Sleep
This study examined the efficacy of the Jawbone UP platform for increasing physical activity and improving sleep quality among African American college women using a randomized controlled trial. Participants were college-aged (19.9 ± 1.7 years) African American women ( N = 69) at a southeastern midsize university in United States. The trial began in September 2013 and concluded in February 2014. Each group received similar brief training to use t…

In this prospective, single cohort demonstration project, adolescent mothers (14–18 years old) and their children received care in a medical home. Demographic, medical and social processes, and outcomes data were collected at enrollment through 24 months. Ch…
Implementation of Wireless Terminals at Farmers’ Markets
Although farmers’ markets offer healthy foods for purchase, many lack the equipment necessary to process convenient, card-based transactions. We assessed the impact of providing wireless terminals to 5 markets on overall sales and redemption of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Sales increased significantly at 4 of the 5 markets after implementation of the terminals, and overall sales increased above and beyond SNAP redem…

It is gratifying to read that the author of the letter observed improvements to overall sales and electronic benefit transfer (EBT) redemption during similar work conducted at Penn State College of Medicine in 2010. In subsequent interactions at our farmers’ markets, we also observed a comparable trend in vendors conducting point-of-sale transactions through smart phones and tablet devices. A study under way in our group at Arizona State Universi…

Objective Light-Intensity Physical Activity Associations With Rated Health in Older Adults
The extent to which light-intensity physical activity contributes to health in older adults is not well known. The authors examined associations between physical activity across the intensity spectrum (sedentary to vigorous) and health and well-being variables in older adults. Two 7-day assessments of accelerometry from 2005 to 2007 were collected 6 months apart in the observational Senior Neighborhood Quality of Life Study of adults aged >65 yea…

Using the Constructive Narrative Perspective to Understand Physical Activity Reasoning Schema in Sedentary Adults
We used the Constructive Narrative Perspective (CNP), a three-level, progressively complex reasoning schema, to examine how individuals perceive barriers to physical activity. Sedentary adults ( N = 23) aged 50 years and older ( M = 65.23; SD = 6.03) participated in semi-structured interviews regarding their reasons for physical inactivity. The results provided initial support for using the CNP framework. Level II (self-relevant) and Level III (c…
