Sociocultural perceptions of physical activity and dietary habits for hypertension control: Voices from adults in a rural sub-district of South Africa
Lifestyle interventions to control hypertension for adults in a rural South African setting using physical activity promotion and dietary control must consider the beliefs related to hypertension control of this population
A digital lifestyle behaviour change intervention for the prevention of type 2 diabetes: A qualitative study exploring intuitive engagement with real-time glucose and physical activity feedback
ISRCTN Registry, ISRCTN17545949 , 12/05/2017, prospectively registered
A Cost and Cost-Benefit Analysis of the Stand More at Work (Smart Work) Intervention
This study conducted a cost and cost-benefit analysis of the Stand More AT (SMArT) Work workplace intervention, designed to reduce sitting time. The study was a cluster two-armed randomised controlled trial involving 37 office clusters (146 desk-based workers) in a National Health Service Trust. The intervention group received a height-adjustable workstation with supporting behaviour change strategies. The control group continued with usual pract…
The mediation effect of political interest on the connection between social trust and wellbeing among older adults
Previous research has established significant positive associations between social trust and wellbeing among older adults. This study aimed to obtain a deeper understanding of the relationship between different sources of social trust and wellbeing by examining the mediational role of political interest. A sample of 4,406 Italian residents aged 65 years and over was extracted from a national cross-sectional survey during 2013 in Italy, representa…
Evaluation of the implementation of a whole-workplace walking programme using the RE-AIM framework
RE-AIM provided a useful framework for evaluating Walking Works. No changes in walking behaviour were observed. This may have been due to barriers in using walking champions to deliver activities, programme components not being delivered as intended, the types of activities delivered, or lack of awareness and participation by employees. Recommendations are provided for researchers and practitioners implementing future whole-workplace walking prog…
Association between maternal education and objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time in adolescents
BACKGROUND: Investigating socioeconomic variation in physical activity (PA) and sedentary time is important as it may represent a pathway by which socioeconomic position (SEP) leads to ill health. Findings on the association between children's SEP and objectively assessed PA and/or sedentary time are mixed, and few studies have included international samples. OBJECTIVE: Examine the associations between maternal education and adolescent's objectiv…
Objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time in youth: The International children’s accelerometry database (Icad)
BACKGROUND: Physical activity and sedentary behaviour in youth have been reported to vary by sex, age, weight status and country. However, supporting data are often self-reported and/or do not encompass a wide range of ages or geographical locations. This study aimed to describe objectively-measured physical activity and sedentary time patterns in youth. METHODS: The International Children's Accelerometry Database (ICAD) consists of ActiGraph acc…
The effects of sports participation on the development of left ventricular mass in adolescent boys
OBJECTIVES: To examine the contribution of body size, biological maturation, and nonelite sports participation to longitudinal changes of left ventricular mass (LVM) in healthy boys. METHODS: One hundred and ten boys (11.0-14.5 years at baseline) were assessed biannually for 2 years. Stature, body mass, and four skinfolds were measured. Lean body mass (LBM) was estimated. Biological maturation was assessed as years from age at peak height velocit…
Associations of mutually exclusive categories of physical activity and sedentary time with markers of cardiometabolic health in English adults: A cross-sectional analysis of the Health Survey for Engl…
In this national sample of English adults, being physically active was associated with a better health profile, even in those with concomitant high sedentary time. Low sedentary time independent of physical activity had a positive association with HDL-cholesterol
Smart Cities, Healthy Kids: The Association Between Neighbourhood Design and Children’s Physical Activity and Time Spent Sedentary
International children's accelerometry database (Icad): Design and methods
Pooling raw accelerometer data and accompanying phenotypic data from a number of studies has the potential to: a) increase statistical power due to a large sample size, b) create a more heterogeneous and potentially more representative sample, c) standardize and optimize the analytical methods used in the generation of outcome variables, and d) provide a means to study the causes of inter-study variability in physical activity. Methodological cha…
