Effect of peer pressure on individual behaviour – Simulating the case of physical activity
To support the global strategy to reduce risk factors for obesity, we synthesized the evidence on physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Our systematic overview included seven systematic reviews reporting 229 primary studies. The meta-analys...
Thus an activity is in the killable state, for example, between after onStop() to the start of onResume(). Keep in mind that under extreme memory pressure the system can kill the application process at any time. "ConfigurationChanges">Configuration Changes If the configuration of the device ...
Secondary aims to assess changes in physical activity, psychosocial constructs, and biometrics showed encouraging improvements on physical activity, positive affect, state optimism, mental health-related quality of life, weight, and diastolic blood pressure. These promising findings set the stage for the...
Based on these data, in conjunction with psychological evidence showing that perceived social support is negatively associated with perceived stress, anxiety, and depression4 and is positively associated with subjective happiness9, we hypothesized that perceived social support would be positively associated ...
Group activities were attempted in tutorials which enhanced peer learning. Course assessment was done in terms of regular minor exams, quizzes based on GATE format and presentations. The authors observed that this has resulted in increased participation and learning of students as evident in their ...
The dashed vertical lines indicate the equator. Negative (positive) vertical pressure velocity values indicate ascending (descending) motion. Black stippling in c,d) indicates pressure/latitude coordinates where at least 5 of the 7 models agreed on the direction of change....
One reason why SW are believed to be restricted to sleep is their impact on neuronal activity, which might be expected to have a detrimental effect on cognition5. We tested this prediction by analyzing the relationship between LoWS and performance on the associative memory task. Using a linear ...
Some men experience soreness and tenderness for several weeks after their vasectomy, and in these cases, certain types of exercise might cause discomfort or pain. In these situations, it’s probably best to avoid biking, jogging, or any activity that shakes or puts extra pressure on the testicl...
Benefits on Intermediate CVD Outcomes Key Question 2. Do primary care–relevant behavioral counseling interventions to improve diet, increase physical activity, and reduce sedentary behavior improve intermediate outcomes associated with CVD (eg, blood pressure, lipid levels, blood glucose levels, and body...
