Participation in physical activity and sport in adolescent girls from Middle Eastern backgrounds
The findings of the current study show the complex relationships between family, religion, and culture when promoting physical and sport participation. Such factors highlight the need to develop culturally tailored physical activity interventions that consider the perceived barriers and facilitators for adolescent girls' participation from Middle Eastern backgrounds
Unhealthy Lifestyle Behaviours and Psychological Distress
Individual associations between lifestyle behaviours and mental health have been established; however, evidence on the clustering of these behaviours and the subsequent impact on mental health is limited. The purpose of this study was to examine cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between combined unhealthy lifestyle behaviours (physical activity, sitting time, sleep duration, processed meat consumption, vegetable consumption, fruit con…
Physical activity interventions among culturally and linguistically diverse populations
Behavioural mediators of reduced energy intake in a physical activity, diet, and sleep behaviour weight loss intervention in adults
Determinants of Full Breastfeeding at 6 Months and Any Breastfeeding at 12 and 24 Months among Women in Sydney
The aim of this study was to report on breastfeeding duration up to 24 months and determine the predictors of breastfeeding duration among women in South Western Sydney, one of the most culturally diverse and socioeconomically disadvantaged regions of New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Mother-infant dyads ( n = 1035) were recruited to the Healthy Smiles Healthy Kids birth cohort study. Study data were collected through telephone interviews at 2, 4…
Efficacy of a Multi-component m-Health Weight-loss Intervention in Overweight and Obese Adults
Relative to Controls, the Pooled Intervention groups did not differ on body weight but improved resistance training, and reduced energy intake and insomnia symptom severity. No additional weight loss was apparent when targeting improvements in physical activity, diet and sleep in combination compared with physical activity and diet
Validity and responsiveness to change of the Active Australia Survey according to gender, age, BMI, education, and physical activity level and awareness

Examining an Australian physical activity and nutrition intervention using RE-AIM
Translating evidence-based interventions into community practice is vital to health promotion. This study used the RE-AIM framework to evaluate the larger dissemination of the ManUp intervention, an intervention which utilized interactive web-based technologies to improve the physical activity and nutrition behaviors of residents in Central Queensland, Australia. Data were collected for each RE-AIM measure (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Impleme…

Identification of the impact of crime on physical activity depends upon neighbourhood scale
Neighbourhood green space and the odds of having skin cancer
BACKGROUND: If green spaces encourage people to spend more time outdoors in physical, recreational and social activities, this could have unintended but important consequences for health in countries where levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation are non-trivial. We investigated whether people who lived in neighbourhoods containing lots of green space were likely to spend more time outdoors and, subsequently, were more likely to report a case of skin…
Mental health benefits of neighbourhood green space are stronger among physically active adults in middle-to-older age
Walk 2.0 - Using Web 2.0 applications to promote health-related physical activity

Active lifestyles related to excellent self-rated health and quality of life
Physical activity and sitting time are independently associated with excellent health and quality of life in this large diverse sample of Australian middle-aged and older adults. These findings bolster evidence informing health promotion efforts to increase PA and decrease sitting time toward the achievement of better population health and the pursuit of successful aging
Influence of neighbourhood ethnic density, diet and physical activity on ethnic differences in weight status
Effectiveness of a website and mobile phone based physical activity and nutrition intervention for middle-aged males

Physical activity behaviours of Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (Cald) women living in Australia
This study demonstrates that attitudes and understandings of health and wellbeing are complex, and have a strong socio-cultural influence. The findings of the present study can be used not only to inform further health promotion initiatives, but also as a platform for further research with consumers of these services and with those who deliver such services

An overview and process evaluation of TeleWalk
Despite the benefits associated with a physically active lifestyle, many older adults are insufficiently active to achieve health gain, and also exhibit decreased activity levels with age. Insufficient physical activity in this population is associated with increased morbidity, mortality and demand on health care services and expenditure. There is a clear need for effective intervention to encourage physical activity in older adults. The aim of t…
Exercise in older women
The reasons why older women exercise were investigated in a sample of 218 participants (mean age = 67.5 years). The women, recruited from community-organised exercise programs, completed a 25-item version of the Participation Motivation Questionnaire adapted for use with older Australians. The reasons for exercising rated as most important by the sample related to maintaining or improving fitness and enjoying the activity and liking the company. …
