County-level Racial/Ethnic Residential Segregation and Physical Activity Behavior among US Adults
The relationship between racial/ethnic residential segregation and physical activity (PA) remains unclear with both positive and negative associations between segregation and PA recently reported. We aimed to examine the relationship between county-level residential segregation and total daily PA and domain-specific PA and whether these associations varied by gender. Participants (N = 2625, mean age [SD] = 45.2 [15.4]) were recruited from the Ame…
Relationship between neighborhood walkability and the prevalence, type, timing, and temporal characteristics of walking
Calibration and Validation of the Youth Activity Profile as a Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Surveillance Tool for English Youth
Self-reported youth physical activity (PA) is typically overestimated. We aimed to calibrate and validate a self-report tool among English youth. Four-hundred-and-two participants (aged 9-16 years; 212 boys) wore SenseWear Armband Mini devices (SWA) for eight days and completed the self-report Youth Activity Profile (YAP) on the eighth day. Calibration algorithms for temporally matched segments were generated from the YAP data using quantile regr…
Use of previous-day recalls of physical activity and sedentary behavior in epidemiologic studies
Although there were many similarities between instruments, differences in operationalizing definitions of sedentary behaviour and LPA resulted in substantive differences in the amounts of time reported in sedentary and physically active behaviours. Future research should focus on deriving a core set of basic activities and associated energy expenditure estimates, an agreed classificatory hierarchy for the major behavioural and activity domains, a…
Wrist-Based Accelerometer Cut-Points to Identify Sedentary Time in 5–11-Year-Old Children
Results from this study support the recommendation to place accelerometers on the non-dominant wrist to minimize "noise" during seated sedentary behaviors
Effect of Integrated Physical Activities with Mathematics on Objectively Assessed Physical Activity
Integrating PA with mathematics in the classroom can contribute to increasing MVPA levels in children
Youth Physical Activity Patterns During School and Out-of-School Time
This study describes age, sex, and season patterns in children's physical activity behaviors during discrete time periods, both in school and at home. Participants were 135 elementary, 67 middle, and 89 high-school students (128 boys and 163 girls) involved in a larger school activity monitoring project. We examined time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) at recess, physical education (PE), lunch, commuting to/from school, bef…
Impact of activity outcome and measurement instrument on estimates of youth compliance with physical activity guidelines
The results show differential patterns of compliance with the PAG-MVPA and PAG-Steps, as assessed by the AG and SWA. Additional research is needed to directly evaluate and compare findings from public health research based on different guidelines and measurement methods
Moderating influences of baseline activity levels in school physical activity programming for children
These results indicate that changes in MVPA levels at post-intervention were reduced in highly active participants when recess staff supervision was provided. In this study, initial MVPA moderated the effect of Staff supervision on children's MVPA after 6 months of intervention. Staff training should include how to work with inactive youth but also how to assure that active children remain active
Calibration of self-report tools for physical activity research
These results suggest that the calibrated PAQ may be a valid alternative tool to activity monitoring instruments for estimating %MVPA in groups of youth
Physical activity intensities in youth
Seasonality in PA intensities and SB suggest that interventions to promote PA and decrease SB must be tailored to take into consideration the month of the year they are going to be implemented and also gender characteristics
Parenting Styles and Home Obesogenic Environments
Parenting behaviors are known to have a major impact on childhood obesity but it has proven difficult to isolate the specific mechanism of influence. The present study uses Baumrind's parenting typologies (authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive) to examine associations between parenting styles and parenting practices associated with childhood obesity. Data were collected from a diverse sample of children (n = 182, ages 7-10) in an urban sch…
