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... hiện toàn bộ
Financial Barriers and Pricing Strategies Related to Participation in Sports Activities: The Perceptions of People of Low IncomeJournal of Physical Activity and Health - Tập 6 Số 6 - Trang 716-721 - 2009
Ingrid HM Steenhuis, Steffie B.C. Nooy, Machiel J.G. Moes, Albertine J. Schuit
Background:Physical activity levels in most affluent countries are low and many
people do not meet the current recommendations. Particularly for people with a
low income, economic strategies seem promising to stimulate taking part in
sports activities. This study investigated the importance of economic restraints
for taking part in sports activities as well as perceptions of low-income people

Walking, Cycling, and Obesity Rates in Europe, North America, and AustraliaJournal of Physical Activity and Health - Tập 5 Số 6 - Trang 795-814 - 2008
David R. Bassett, John Pucher, Ralph Buehler, Dixie L. Thompson, Scott E. Crouter
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... hiện toàn bộ
The Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities: Test-Retest Reliability and Comparison With an AccelerometerJournal of Physical Activity and Health - Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 96-100 - 2007
Hidde P. van der Ploeg, Kitty R. M. Streppel, Allard J. van der Beek, L.H.V. van der Woude, Miriam Vollenbroek-Hutten, Willem van Mechelen
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... hiện toàn bộ

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to investigate the gender-specific
longitudinal association between quadriceps strength and self-reported,
physician-diagnosed hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA).Methods:Subjects were 3081
community-dwelling adults who were free of OA, joint symptoms and injuries,
completed a maximum treadmill exercise test, had isokinetic knee extension and

Reliability and Validity of the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) for AdultsJournal of Physical Activity and Health - Tập 7 Số 6 - Trang 697-705 - 2010
Dori E. Rosenberg, Gregory J. Norman, Nicole Wägner, Kevin Patrick, Karen J. Calfas, James F. Sallis
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... hiện toàn bộ
Operational Definitions of Walkable Neighborhood: Theoretical and Empirical InsightsJournal of Physical Activity and Health - Tập 3 Số s1 - Trang S99-S117 - 2006
Anne Vernez Moudon, Chanam Lee, Allen Cheadle, Cheza C. Garvin, Donna B. Johnson, Thomas L. Schmid, Robert Weathers, Lin Lin
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.

Jørgen Skotte, Mette Korshøj, Jesper Kristiansen, Christiana Hanisch, Andreas Holtermann
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... hiện toàn bộ
