Physical inactivity is rising globally, exacerbating the burden of preventable deaths and diseases. Despite extensive research on promoting physical activity in workplace, synthesising existing literature challenging due to wide variety interventions outcomes. This study aims provide a comprehensive synthesis intervention effects inform health promotion initiatives guide future efforts. In this umbrella review, we conducted systematic searches six databases (Cochrane, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, Web Science) for reviews meta-analyses published between Jan 1, 2000, May 31, 2024, evaluating workplace targeting sedentary behaviour or working adults aged 18 years older without specific conditions mobility impairments.

Abstract Despite decades of literature on the benefits physical activity (PA) cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other health outcomes, rates inactivity sedentary time remain alarmingly high are likely contributing to global increase in CVD. Roughly one-third world’s population does not meet World Health Organization (WHO) guideline recommended levels aerobic PA, defined as ≥ 150 min moderate-intensity PA or ≥75 vigorous-intensity an equivalent combination both. This is addition recommending individuals perform at least 2 days muscle-strengthening activities per week involving all major muscle groups, which provide additional CVD beyond PA. Disparities by sex between high- low-income countries persist, with modeling studies suggesting a direct economic cost $5 billion dollars. To combat crisis inactivity, WHO implemented action plan 2013, set target 15% relative reduction 2030. Barriers attaining adequate abundant, however, step counting represents relatively novel metric growing body supporting their utility given mounting evidence benefits, trends that mirror intensity-centric metrics used guidelines. manuscript provides up-to-date review steps, outcomes.

Sedentary Behavior and Its Association With Psychological Well-Being and Sleep Quality in Adolescents: Evidence from a Propensity Score Analysis

Psychology Research and Behavior Management, Год журнала: 2025, Номер Volume 18, С. 281 - 298

Опубликована: Фев. 1, 2025

Background: Sedentary lifestyles among adolescents have been associated with various health concerns, particularly regarding psychological well-being and sleep quality. However, the associative relationship between sedentary behavior these outcomes remains unclear. This study aims to clarify association lifestyle through propensity scores matching analysis. Methods: A total of 2,846 from three universities participated in study. Data on demographics, exercise habits, eating patterns, behavior, health, self-esteem, social support were collected. was defined as sitting for more than six hours daily. Psychological assessed using Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) scale anxiety Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) depression, while quality measured Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Self-esteem evaluated Self-Esteem Scale (SES), Social Support Rating (SSRS). Propensity analysis employed investigate outcomes. Results: Prior matching, significant differences observed baseline characteristics participants without lifestyles, including gender (P=0.01), dietary habits (P< 0.001), mobile device usage stress events (P=0.001), physical activity chronic diseases (P=0.024). Participants exhibited higher GAD-7 PHQ-9 PSQI along lower self-esteem (SES, P=0.041) (SSRS, P< 0.001) compared their active counterparts. Following no found two groups (All P> 0.282), indicating a successful process. Post-matching revealed that individuals had significantly (P=0.002), (P=0.013), (P=0.001) those SES (P=0.755) SSRS (P=0.676). Conclusion: Our findings indicate is poorer adolescents, even after controlling demographic factors. These results underscore importance promoting reducing this population enhance overall well-being.

Who Are We Excluding From Physical Activity Research? Examining the Potential for Exclusion Bias in Pedometer Data Processing

Journal of Physical Activity and Health, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 9

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2025

Background : Pedometers are a useful measure of physical activity (PA) but whether systematic bias exists when using differing inclusion criterion for pedometer-derived PA data is unknown. We undertake an exploration previously published criteria pedometer cleaning and examine the impact different on sample size retention participant exclusion by key sociodemographic characteristics. Methods Data were drawn from community survey in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Sociodemographic information self-reported collected via face-to-face surveys; participants asked to wear Yamax CW300 7 days. Analyses involved removing extreme outliers determining minimum steps per day inclusion, 1 removal was required, examining risk criteria, convergent concurrent validity with lowest potential. Results Pedometer available 895 participants. A threshold 100 steps/day deemed appropriate define valid day. All days correlated each other; intraclass correlation coefficients low did not change meaningfully first data. Participant reduced, increased, increasing stringency applied. Evidence 2 models demonstrated. Conclusion Increasing can result significant biased loss size. Clear reporting methods rationale (including consideration potential bias) needed pedometer-based research.

Accelerometer-derived “weekend warrior” physical activity, sedentary behavior, and risk of dementia

Alzheimer s Research & Therapy, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(1)

Опубликована: Март 22, 2025

Research has shown that sedentary behavior (SB) may increase dementia risk, but it remains unclear whether concentrated moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) can compensate such negative effects. This study aimed explore the association between different MVPA patterns combined with SB time and risk of dementia. prospective used data from UK Biobank cohort, which provided accelerometer-based for a full week February 2013 December 2015. Participants were categorized into "weekend warriors (WW)" group, engaged in more than 50% (≥ 150 min/week) on 1 2 days; inactive group (total < min/week); regular who met recommended not WW. The participants further divided six groups based duration 8.52 h/day or h/day). A multivariable Cox model was assess relationship these dementia, adjusted by age, gender, ethnicity, Townsend deprivation index, education level, employment status, alcohol consumption, smoking, BMI, baseline comorbidities (including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes). We included 91,948 without at baseline. During median follow-up 7.93 years, 736 developed all-cause When threshold set min per week, 16,149 (17.5%) classified as WW long SB, 19,055 (20.7%) 21,909 (23.8%) SB. Compared time, showed reduction (WW time: HR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.54–0.87, P 0.002; short 0.74, 0.56–0.97, 0.029). And shorter associated lower (HR 0.75, 0.59–0.96, 0.021), longer time. pattern help mitigate prolonged suggesting quality intensity are also important factors.

Behavior change wheel as a tool to promote physical activity in online intervention: a case study

Frontiers in Psychology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 16

Опубликована: Апрель 2, 2025

Introduction Physical activity (PA) has significant health benefits. However, one in four adults does not meet the globally recommended levels of PA. Considering that PA behavior is influenced by various factors operating at multiple levels, including personal, social, and environmental factors, a single-subject behavioral change intervention was developed to promote through online sessions. Method Based on one-to-one intervention, Behavior Change Wheel (BCW) methodology used design an for 24 weeks, eight weeks sessions 16 follow-up. Results We observed increase metabolic equivalent (MET-min/week; baseline = 2,970; 6,440; 6,744) daily steps (baseline 8,372; 10,234; 12,142), which provides some evidence efficacy methodologies, especially relation one-to-one. Conclusion The designed BCW, had positive effect promoting more subject our case study provided can be further interventions aim population; however, future studies must conducted expand other domains.
