Physical Activity Participation in UK adults. With increasing age, sports participation progressively declines. Walking for health benefits or enjoyment remains fairly constant amongst young and middle-aged adults, but declines progressively into older age. Amongst those who are sedentary, more of the yo...
Physical activity (PA) breaks during school lessons have been suggested as a promising strategy to improve working memory performance in children and adolescents. There is a lack of studies investigating the underlying physiological mechanisms of PA on c
Participants believed that physical activity should be recognized as a legitimate activity at work, embedded within the university culture and endorsed using a top-down approach. It is important to encourage breaks in sedentary time and recognize physical activity as a legitimate health-promoting ...
Most studies investigating the association of temperament with physical activity and sedentary behavior have examined children or adolescents, employed cross-sectional or longitudinal designs that do not extend from childhood into adulthood, and utilized self- or parent-reported data on physical activity an...
This study investigated the associations of accelerometer-measured physical activity, sedentary time and screen time with the incidence of neck and shoulder pain in school-aged children over a two-year follow-up. Children (aged 10–15) were measured at b
There were 1,612 participants adults aged ≥ 60 who had muscle mass and activity measurements at both health-checks making them eligible for inclusion. Of these, 44 individuals were excluded due to having < 4 valid days of accelerometry data (n = 22 at baseline, n = 22...
Furthermore, there is a need to continue understanding the role of prospectively measured physical activity in relation to older adult health. The Adult Changes in Thought (ACT) study is an on-going epidemiologic study of adults age 鈮 65 years that began in 1994. Participants complete biennial...
Physical activity energy expenditure for the physical activity bouts was similar between the SHORT-BREAKS (587 kJ; 95% CI: 449, 725) and LONG-BREAKS (607 kJ; 473, 740) conditions (p = 0.992). The mean RPE of the physical activity bouts was significantly higher in the SHORT-BREAKS (11.7...
Physical inactivity is one of the major risk factors for developing several chronic illnesses. However, despite strong evidence indicating the health benefits of physical activity, many university staff and students tend to be physically inactive. Univer
Thanks to the availability of wearable activity monitors, we can now monitor the full spectrum of physical activity, sedentary, and sleep behaviors better than ever before—whether the subjects are elite athletes, children, adults, or individuals with pre-existing medical conditions. The increasing ...
