Presents an abstract of the study "Comparison of Postural Change in Blood Pressure From Sitting to Standing and Lying to Standing Position and 70° Head Up Tilt Test," by S. Loharuka, N. Wisniacki, C. Turnbull and M. Gosney.Loharuka...
Early studies have shown that Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) contributes to the rehabilitation of cognitive disorders and increases blood oxygen concentration levels in the parietal and occipital brain areas; however, the mechanism of TCC training on brain function remains poorly understood. This study hypothesize...
Importantly, no prospective studies have quantified associations of baseline values and changes in behavioural correlates with changes in sedentary time. As interventions increasingly target both reducing sitting activities and replacing this with physical activities, it is important to have an evidence-base...
When people change their posture from supine to standing position, approximately 500– 700 mL of blood shifts toward the lower extremities [1]. This blood shift leads to reduc‐ tion in venous return. As a result, the cardiac output decreases, and subsequently, the mean arterial blood pressure...
Finally, social norms also have a significant impact on sedentary behavior in older adults. Studies have shown that social norms are associated with sitting time in specific contexts (e.g., sitting while reading, sitting during hobbies, and sitting while socializing) [35]. Motivation is a ...
The primary outcome measure is the adapted Fuster-BEWAT, a composite health risk and lifestyle score consisting of resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure, objectively measured physical activity and sitting time, BMI, fruit and vegetable consumption and smoking behaviour. Secondary outcomes include...

In the Creative Problem Solving Process (SeeSlowing Down to Move Fast), the first important aspect of understanding the problem better, called “problem formulation” is to collect facts and information, driving us to ask more questions and consider more aspects of the problem. ...
It was a lovely summer day and many family groups were also sitting and enjoying the view. Many animals were wandering about mixing with the children in the zoo. Suddenly a male donkey mounted a female donkey. An explosion of people happened as parents picked up their children and literally ...
