Evidence from the Alameda County Study indicated that residential area has an independent effect on mortality risk. The current research examined the effect of poverty area residence on change in physical activity (n = 1737). Methods. Data were from a longitudinal population-based cohort. Multiple ...
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...
In contrast, the relationship between family support and ST is negative (r = −15.310; p≤ 0.001). Figure 2. Model suggested for adolescent population. Note: family support (Fa-SS); friend support (Fr-SS); moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA); screen time (ST). Table 1. ...
This study investigated whether living in a walkable neighbourhood could mitigate the adverse effects of the lockdown and closure of public open spaces during the COVID-19 pandemic on physical activity among adults in Bangkok, Thailand. We conducted a te
Association Between Physical Activity and Incidence of Depression View LargeDownload Dark line represents the meta-analytical dose-response curve (constrained to be linear beyond upper knot at 75% of person-years). Shaded area displays 95% CI. Vertical dotted lines indicate knots at the 37.5th and...
Studies in which physical activity is only a covariate of interest. Studies with no recognized measure of physical activity. Article types Full-length research reports: The chief criteria for the acceptance of submitted papers are the quality, originality, and clarity of the work reported, addressi...
► Increased physical activity during school breaks, larger than comparable studies, was measured. ► Whether the increases can be maintained remains to be seen; evidence in one school suggests they can. Introduction Engaging in regular physical activity as a child yields numerous benefits: ...
Physical activity (PA) in older people is critically important in the prevention of disease, maintenance of independence and improvement of quality of life.
