Underperformance and failure in allied health practice placements
Underperformance and failure in allied health practice placements are under researched. This scoping review aimed to describe the experiences of allied health students and clinical educators relating to underperformance and failure on practice placement, supporting health professional training programmes to provide quality learning experiences. A scoping review research methodology including 22 allied health disciplines was adopted. Forty-four re…
Behavioural and psychological factors associated with pre-frailty in community-dwelling adults aged 40 and over
Frailty and pre-frailty are major public health concerns. While frailty is typically associated with older adults, evidence suggests that pre-frailty commonly starts in middle-age. This study examined associations between behavioural and psychological correlates of pre-frailty and frailty in adults from 40 years to help identify at-risk individuals and inform interventions. Participants (N = 321, mean age = 56 (10.55), 83% female) completed quest…
Barriers and Facilitators to Physical Activity Among Older Adults in Residential Aged Care Facilities
Objective To ascertain the barriers and facilitators to physical activity (PA) for older adults in Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs), from the perspective of residents, staff, and family. Methods A mixed-methods systematic review, underpinned by the Social Ecological Model (SEM). Five databases were searched from inception to May 2024. Data synthesis followed a convergent integrated approach, with relevant quantitative data ‘qualitised’ an…
Older adults’ community participation, physical activity, and social interactions during and following Covid-19 restrictions in Australia
During COVID-19 the physical and social activities of community dwelling older adults changed. Services that support older adults to adapt their activities , considering their capacities and preferences, to facilitate community participation are required
A Home-based Resistance Training Program to Reduce Pre-frailty in Middle-aged Adults
Physical activity and screen time in outside school hours care services across Australia
Physical activity and screen time scheduling in OSHC is highly variable. Despite support for the guidelines, current scheduling practice in the majority of OSHC services surveyed do not meet best practice guidelines
Girls and Young Women in Community Sport
Girls' and young women's engagement and disengagement in physical activity has been well documented in Western culture. Sport plays a pivotal role in the development of behaviours that promote physical activity, particularly through commitment to team and individual goal attainment, socialisation, and feelings of belonging and self-identity. Community sport in Australia is the dominant pathway into state, national, and elite international competi…
Community participation of community dwelling older adults
Ethical approval was gained from the Flinders University Social and Behavioural Research Ethics Committee (protocol no. 8176)
Office-based physical activity
The paper proposes a social ecological model of physical activity associated with office-based settings. The model considers opportunities for both incidental and discretionary activities, as well as macro and micro factors on both socio-cultural and physical dimensions. The COM-B framework for characterising behaviour change interventions is used to highlight the underlying mechanisms of behaviour change inherent in the model. The broad framewor…
More opportunities, same challenges
In Australian culture, males dominate sports such as football, cricket and Australian Rules Football. Girls and women in such sports are frequently required to negotiate persistent gender constructs and stereotypes. Despite this, in recent years there has been an increase in girls’ participation in sports that are constructed as masculine. The present study investigated adolescent girls’ experiences (N = 34, aged 13–17 years) in three sports that…
Compositional data analysis for physical activity, sedentary time and sleep research
The health effects of daily activity behaviours (physical activity, sedentary time and sleep) are widely studied. While previous research has largely examined activity behaviours in isolation, recent studies have adjusted for multiple behaviours. However, the inclusion of all activity behaviours in traditional multivariate analyses has not been possible due to the perfect multicollinearity of 24-h time budget data. The ensuing lack of adjustment …
European normative values for physical fitness in children and adolescents aged 9–17 years
OBJECTIVE: To develop sex-specific and age-specific normative values for the nine Eurofit tests in European children and adolescents aged 9-17 years. METHODS: A systematic review was undertaken to identify papers that explicitly reported descriptive results for at least one of nine Eurofit tests (measuring balance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, muscular power, flexibility, speed, speed-agility and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF)) on chil…
Adiposity and the isotemporal substitution of physical activity, sedentary time and sleep among school-aged children
The compositional isotemporal model caters for the constrained and therefore relative nature of activity behaviour data and enables all daily behaviours to be included in a single statistical model. The traditional model treats data as real variables, thus the constrained nature of time is not accounted for, nor reflected in the findings. Findings from compositional isotemporal substitution support the importance of MVPA to children's health, and…
Human development index, children’s health-related quality of life and movement behaviors
Does home equipment contribute to socioeconomic gradients in Australian children’s physical activity, sedentary time and screen time
Children with less electronic devices, particularly in their bedrooms, participated in less screen time, regardless of socioeconomic status. Socioeconomic disparities were identified in children's moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, however socioeconomic status was inconsistently related to possession of active play equipment. Home active play equipment was therefore not a clear contributor to the socioeconomic gradients in Australian childre…
