Promoting lifestyle medicine research in Ghana
The rapid rise in urbanization across many African countries is contributing to the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in both adults and children and presents a significant challenge to health services across the continent. In May 2023, a 2-day workshop was held in Ghana, coordinated by the Centre for Lifestyle Medicine and Behaviour (CLiMB) at Loughborough University and in collaboration with partners from three Ghanaian …
Examining young people’s views and understanding of traffic light and physical activity calorie equivalent (Pace) food labels
PACE labelling may be easier for young people to understand and more appealing/useful to them than traffic light labelling. PACE labelling may help young people choose healthier food/drinks and reduce excess energy consumption. Research is now needed to understand the impact of PACE labelling on food choice among adolescents in real eating settings
Views of the public about SnacktivityTM
The SnacktivityTM approach to promoting physical activity was viewed positively by the public and interventions to test the merits of such an approach now need to be developed and tested in a variety of everyday contexts
Would offering vegetables to children for breakfast increase their total daily vegetable intake
The consumption of vegetables is vitally important for children’s health and development. However, in many Westernised countries, most children do not eat sufficient quantities of vegetables and consume many energy-dense and high-sugar foods; a health behaviour associated with the onset of non-communicable diseases. To address this important public health concern, it is necessary to think ‘outside the box’ and consider innovative and pragmatic wa…

Women's experiences of exercise as a treatment for their postnatal depression
Women with postnatal depression are often reluctant to take medication postnatally and access to psychological therapies is limited. Exercise offers a freely available treatment option but depressed mothers' experience of exercise has not been investigated. We conducted a qualitative study nested within a randomised trial of an exercise intervention for women with postnatal depression. Women described deterioration in their sense of identity post…
Signage Interventions for Stair Climbing at Work
Increased stair climbing reduces cardiovascular disease risk. While signage interventions for workplace stair climbing offer a low-cost tool to improve population health, inconsistent effects of intervention occur. Pedestrian movement within the built environment has major effects on stair use, independent of any health initiative. This paper used pooled data from UK and Spanish workplaces to test the effects of signage interventions when pedestr…
Are babies conceived during Ramadan born smaller and sooner than babies conceived at other times of the year? A Born in Bradford Cohort Study
BACKGROUND: It is not known whether infants exposed to intermittent maternal fasting at conception are born smaller or have a higher risk of premature birth than those who are not. Doctors are therefore unsure about what advice to give women about the safety of Ramadan fasting. This cohort study aimed to investigate these questions in Muslim mother-infant pairs to inform prenatal care. METHODS: Routinely collected data accessed from maternity rec…

Sri Lankan tsunami refugees
BACKGROUND: On the 26th December 2004 the Asian tsunami devastated the Sri Lankan coastline. More than two years later, over 14,500 families were still living in transitional shelters. This study compares the health of the internally displaced people (IDP), living in transitional camps with those in permanent housing projects provided by government and non-government organisations in Sri Lanka. METHODS: This study was conducted in seven transitio…

I Can Actually Exercise If I Want To; It Isn't As Hard As I Thought
A qualitative study nested within a randomized controlled trial explored obese adolescents' experiences of participation in an exercise therapy intervention. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants assigned to exercise therapy. Participants' reported feeling more energetic during and after exercise, than before. Many participants reported feeling happy/happier and expressed feeling better about themselves as individuals after …
Protocol for
SHOT is a randomised controlled trial where obese young people are randomised to receive; (1) exercise therapy, (2) attention-control intervention (involving body-conditioning exercises and games that do not involve aerobic activity), or (3) usual care. The exercise therapy and attention-control sessions will take place three times per week for eight weeks and a six-week home programme will follow this. Ninety adolescents aged between 11-16 years…
The Effects of Low and Moderate Intensity Exercise on Subjective Experiences in a Naturalistic Health and Fitness Club Setting
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of participation in low and moderate intensity exercise on subjective exercise experiences in a naturalistic health club setting. Thirty physically active members of a community health and fitness club participated in low and moderate intensity cycle ergometry for 20 minutes. Subjective exercise experiences were measured before, during and after exercise. Participants reported significant incre…
Extra-Curricular Physical Activities and Physical Self-Perceptions in British 14ñ15-Year-Old Male and Female Adolescents
This investigation considers the differences in physical self-perceptions between participants and non-participants in extra-curricular physical activities. Pupils ( N= 1130) from schools in England and Wales were asked to complete the Children and Youth Physical Self-Perception Profile (1995) and a questionnaire containing physical activity items taken from the Young People and Sport Survey (1994). Data analyses indicated that participants invol…
Age, Gender and Motivation for Participation in Extra Curricular Physical Activities in Secondary School Adolescents
The aim of this study was to consider the relationship between age and children's motives for participation in extra-curricular physical activities. In addition, this relationship was considered in relation to gender. The Participation Motivation Inventory was completed by 145 children who were students at a mixed comprehensive school. Results revealed age and gender main effects. It appeared that Year 7 and Year 10 children are motivated to take…
