Background: Regular physical activity and limited sedentary time are recommended for adult childhood cancer survivors. The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare designed a questionnaire to assess levels of physical activity (BHW-Q), including two questions: one on vigorous physical activity (...
Clinical Status The baseline examination included a thorough history questionnaire with medical and physical activity questions confirmed by the clinic physician. Prescription medications, including statins, were captured from the physician report. Dietary history was not routinely obtained and, hence, not ...
Important unanswered questions concern the parameters, mediators, and moderators of successful physical activity interventions. The most consistent positive results are observed in interventions of moderate intensity [8,11,15,16], with a duration of at least 6 months [7,11,13,17], aimed at people...
The structure of the questions about active travel to school differs from the structure for all other types of physical activity, since journeys were not related to specific weekdays. Thus it is not possible to combine walking and cycling to/from school with other occasions of walking and cy...
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of a one-year teaching intervention to increase moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) during primary school physical education (PE). Methods: A quasi-experimental, non-equivalent group design involving four classes from two primary schools in the West...
However, few studies have examined the relationship between different levels of physical activity and sarcopenia. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the cross-sectional associations between overall physical activity levels, gender, intensity, and the risk of sarcopenia among older ...
"It's almost common sense that obesity is bad for your health andphysical activityis good, but the questions are how and of what magnitude," Lin said. A major study To conduct her research, performed as part of the Brown Brazil Initiative in Global Health at the University's Watson Instit...
Many parents assume children in center-based child care experience higher levels of daily physical activity, but a first-of-its-kind study out of Western's Child Health and Physical Activity Lab suggests they're no more active over all than those who stay at home. ...
Sedentary activity questions differed by age group. Participants aged 16 to 19 years reported the amount of time on a typical day during the past 30 days that they spent sitting and watching television or videos or using a computer outside of work. Children aged 12 to 15 years were asked ...
But the findings indicate that a shift in research focus might be warranted, they say. "The study questions the concept of the adolescent girl as a priority for research and policy efforts in physical activity," they point out. "Future research andpublic health policyshould focus on (A) prev...
