Walking, Cycling, and Obesity Rates in Europe, North America, and Australia
Tập 5 Số 6 - Trang 795-814 - 2008
Purpose:This study was designed to examine the relationship between active
transportation (defined as the percentage of trips taken by walking, bicycling,
and public transit) and obesity rates (BMI ≥ 30 kg · m−2) in different
countries.Methods:National surveys of travel behavior and health indicators in
Europe, North America, and Australia were used in this study; the surveys were
conducted in 199...
System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities (SOPARC): Reliability and Feasibility Measures
Tập 3 Số s1 - Trang S208-S222 - 2006
Background:New tools are needed to examine physical activity and the contexts in
which it occurs. Community parks contribute to physical activity, but measuring
activity and associated variables in them is challenging because area contexts
change and the numbers and characteristics of users are highly
variable.Methods:We developed SOPARC (System for Observing Play and Recreation
in Communities) an...
Reliability and Validity of the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) for Adults
Tập 7 Số 6 - Trang 697-705 - 2010
Background:Sedentary behavior is related to obesity, but measures of sedentary
behaviors are lacking for adults. The purpose of this study was to examine the
reliability and validity of the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) among
overweight adults.Methods:Participants were 49 adults for the 2 week test-retest
reliability study (67% female, 53% white, mean age = 20) and 401 overweight
women (m...
Operational Definitions of Walkable Neighborhood: Theoretical and Empirical Insights
Tập 3 Số s1 - Trang S99-S117 - 2006
Background:The concept of walkable neighborhoods is increasingly important in
physical activity research and intervention. However, limited theoretical
understanding and measurable definitions remain a challenge.Methods:This paper
reviews theories defining neighborhoods and offers an empirical approach to
identify measurable attributes and thresholds of walkable neighborhoods.
Bivariate and multiv...
Detection of Physical Activity Types Using Triaxial Accelerometers
Tập 11 Số 1 - Trang 76-84 - 2014
Background:The aim of this study was to validate a triaxial accelerometer setup
for identifying everyday physical activity types (ie, sitting, standing,
walking, walking stairs, running, and cycling).Methods:Seventeen subjects
equipped with triaxial accelerometers (ActiGraph GT3X+) at the thigh and hip
carried out a standardized test procedure including walking, running, cycling,
walking stairs, s...
The Role of Park Proximity and Social Support in Shaping Park Visitation, Physical Activity, and Perceived Health Among Older Adults
Tập 4 Số 2 - Trang 167-179 - 2007
Background:Health scholars purport that park proximity and social support
promotes physical activity and health. However, few studies examine the combined
contributions of these constructs in shaping physical activity and
health.Purpose:In this study, the contributions of environmental and social
characteristics in shaping park use, physical activity, and health are
examined.Methods:A survey was d...
Distance to Green Space and Physical Activity: A Danish National Representative Survey
Tập 8 Số 6 - Trang 741-749 - 2011
Background:This study examines the relationship between distance to green space
and the level of physical activity among the population of Denmark. In addition,
the relationship between distance to green space and obesity is
investigated.Methods:Data derived from the Danish National Health Interview
Survey 2005, a cross-sectional survey based on a region-stratified random
nationally representative...
The Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities: Test-Retest Reliability and Comparison With an Accelerometer
Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 96-100 - 2007
Background:The objective was to determine the test-retest reliability and
criterion validity of the Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical
Disabilities (PASIPD).Methods:Forty-five non-wheelchair dependent subjects were
recruited from three Dutch rehabilitation centers. Subjects’ diagnoses were:
stroke, spinal cord injury, whiplash, and neurological-, orthopedic- or back
disorders. T...
The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on US College Students’ Physical Activity and Mental Health
Tập 18 Số 3 - Trang 272-278 - 2021
Background: Investigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on both physical
activity (PA) and mental health is important to demonstrate the need for
interventions. This study examined the apparent impact of the pandemic on
college students’ PA, perceived stress, and depressive symptoms. Methods: From
2015 through 2020, data were collected at the beginning and end of the spring
semester at a lar...
Awareness and Knowledge of the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans
Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 693-698 - 2014
Background:To estimate the proportion of U.S. adults aware and knowledgeable of
the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.Methods:Analysis is based on
a cross-sectional national sample of adults in the 2009 (n = 4281) HealthStyles
survey. We estimated the prevalence of adults who reported awareness of
government physical activity guidelines and who were knowledgeable of the
currently rec...
