Rise and Recharge: Effects on Activity Outcomes of an e-Health Smartphone Intervention to Reduce Office Workers’ Sitting Time
This feasibility study evaluated the effects of an individual-level intervention to target office workers total and prolonged sedentary behaviour during working hours, using an e-health smartphone application. A three-arm (Prompt-30 or 60 min Intervention arm and a No-Prompt Comparison arm), quasi-randomised intervention was conducted over 12 weeks. Behavioural outcomes (worktime sitting, standing, stepping, prolonged sitting, and physical activi…
Controversies in the Science of Sedentary Behaviour and Health: Insights, Perspectives and Future Directions from the 2018 Queensland Sedentary Behaviour Think Tank
The development in research concerning sedentary behaviour has been rapid over the past two decades. This has led to the development of evidence and views that have become more advanced, diverse and, possibly, contentious. These include the effects of standing, the breaking up of prolonged sitting and the role of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in the association between sedentary behaviour and health outcomes. The present aim is to…
Population density is beneficially associated with 12-year diabetes risk marker change among residents of lower socio-economic neighborhoods
Stand More at Work (Smart Work): Using the behaviour change wheel to develop an intervention to reduce sitting time in the workplace
ISRCTN10967042 . Registered on 2 February 2015
Impact of an 8-Month Trial Using Height-Adjustable Desks on Children’s Classroom Sitting Patterns and Markers of Cardio-Metabolic and Musculoskeletal Health
During school hours, children can sit for prolonged and unbroken periods of time. This study investigated the impact of an 8-month classroom-based intervention focusing on reducing and breaking-up sitting time on children's cardio-metabolic risk factors (i.e., body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure) and perceptions of musculoskeletal discomfort. Two Year-6 classes (24 students per class) in one primary school were assigned to either…
Too much sitting and all-cause mortality: Is there a causal link
There is reasonable evidence for a likely causal relationship between sedentary behaviour and all-cause mortality based on the epidemiological criteria of strength of association, consistency of effect, and temporality
First Vintage: Wine in Colonial New South Wales
Australian Local Government and Community Development: From Colonial Times to the 21st Century
Local government is admired for being ‘close to the people’. Respect from communities extends naturally to those institutions that claim to represent or serve them, as many local governments do. Th
New Worlds and Old Prejudices: Australia, Cricket and the Subcontinent: 1880–1960
Until recently, Australia's cricketing past has been coloured by an anglocentric bias. Australian cricket writers, players and administrators mainly have deemed Australian series with subcontinental countries of much lesser importance than Ashes contests. In surveying Australia's cricketing relations with the subcontinent from the 1880s until Australia's first fully fledged official tour of the region in 1959–1960, this paper seeks to redress thi…
Socioeconomic position, gender, health behaviours and biomarkers of cardiovascular disease and diabetes
With Sam Benwell and the house of lords journeying to wine in Victoria
W. S. Sam Benwell's 'Journey to Wine in Victoria' is a travelogue account of the wine industry in Victoria covering aspects of its history and setting in the Victorian countryside. It was a guide with understated literary pretensions, and it dealt with the styles of wine produced by the various wineries and the burning consumer issues of the day, like whether there could be any difference between a claret and a burgundy when both wines are made f…
