Is self-reported time spent sedentary and in physical activity differentially biased by age, gender, body mass index, and low-back pain?

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2018
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine the extent to which age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and low-back pain (LBP) influence bias in self-reported sedentary behavior and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among blue-collar workers ...

Virtual field trips as physically active lessons for children: a pilot study. [PDF]

, 2015
The modern classroom is an inherently sedentary environment. Virtual Field Trips (VFTs) using interactive whiteboards to explore virtual scenes are a potential method of converting sedentary class-time into physically active teaching. This pilot aimed to

Ratings of Perceived Exertion Misclassify Intensities for Sedentary Older Adults During Graded Cycling Test: Effect of Supramaximal High-Intensity Interval Training

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The present study aims (1) to evaluate ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) and corresponding intensities during a maximal graded cycling test and (2) to determine the effects of 6 weeks of supramaximal cycling exercise (SCE) intervention on RPE and ...

Past-day recall of sedentary time: Validity of a self-reported measure of sedentary time in a university population

, 2014
Background\ud \ud Sedentary behaviour is associated with several deleterious health consequences. Although device-based measures of sedentary time are available, they are costly and do not provide a measure of domain specific sedentary time. High quality

Empowering sedentary adults to reduce sedentary behavior and increase physical activity levels and energy expenditure: A pilot study

, 2015
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a 4-week intervention in which an online personal activity monitor (Gruve-Technologies™) was used to reduce sedentary behavior among sedentary adults.

Standing up to sedentary behaviour: evaluating the utility of behavioural choice theory [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Prolonged time spent sedentary has been linked with numerous adverse health outcomes. However sedentary-reducing interventions are sparse and none measure the effectiveness of behaviour change theories being employed.
