What do older people do when sitting and why? Implications for decreasing sedentary behaviour [PDF]

, 2018
Background and Objectives: Sitting less can reduce older adults’ risk of ill health and disability. Effective sedentary behavior interventions require greater understanding of what older adults do when sitting (and not sitting), and why.

Agreement between activPAL and ActiGraph for assessing children's sedentary time

International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 2012
Background Accelerometers have been used to determine the amount of time that children spend sedentary. However, as time spent sitting may be detrimental to health, research is needed to examine whether accelerometer sedentary cut-points reflect the ...

Changes in Sitting Time and Sitting Fragmentation after a Workplace Sedentary Behaviour Intervention [PDF]

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2018
Prolonged sedentary behaviour (SB) has shown to be detrimental to health. Nevertheless, population levels of SB are high and interventions to decrease SB are needed. This study aimed to explore the effect of an individualized consultation intervention aimed at reducing SB and increasing breaks in SB among college employees.

From evidence-based research to practice-based evidence : disseminating a web-based computer-tailored workplace sitting intervention through a health promotion organisation [PDF]

, 2018
Prolonged sitting has been linked to adverse health outcomes; therefore, we developed and examined a web-based, computer-tailored workplace sitting intervention. As we had previously shown good effectiveness, the next stage was to conduct a dissemination

Time measurement characterization of stand-to-sit and sit-to-stand transitions by using a smartphone [PDF]

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 2017
The aim of this study is to analyze a common method to measure the acceleration of a daily activity pattern by using a smartphone. In this sense, a numerical approach is proposed to transform the relative acceleration signal, recorded by a triaxial accelerometer, into an acceleration referred to an inertial reference.

Editorial for special issue: Advances in sedentary behavior research and translation [PDF]

, 2017
Sedentary behaviour—essentially low energy sitting time in waking hours—has emerged as an important topic in public health over the past decade or so. Although Morris and colleagues [1] analysed health outcomes of active versus seated occupations over 60

Workplace neighbourhood built-environment attributes and sitting at work and for transport among Japanese desk-based workers

Scientific Reports, 2022
Workplace settings—both internal and external—can influence how workers are physically active or sedentary. Although research has identified some indoor environmental attributes associated with sitting at work, few studies have examined associations of ...

Is Sitting Time a Strong Predictor of Weight Gain? [PDF]

Current Obesity Reports, 2012
The current review aimed to examine the evidence on prospective associations between sedentary behavior (i.e., sitting time) and weight gain. Prospective studies published between January 2010 and August 2012 were identified from searches in the Medline databases.

The frequency of osteogenic activities and the pattern of intermittence between periods of physical activity and sedentary behaviour affects bone mineral content: the cross-sectional NHANES study [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Sedentary behaviours, defined as non exercising seated activities, have been shown to have deleterious effects on health. It has been hypothesised that too much sitting time can have a detrimental effect on bone health in youth.
