Application of the transtheoretical model to sedentary behaviors and its association with physical activity status
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017-04-27)
Background: The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) is a successful framework for guiding behavior change programs for several health behaviors, yet its application to reduce of sedentary behavior has been neglected. In addition, ...
Step-based physical activity metrics and cardiometabolic risk: NHANES 2005-2006
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2017-02)
Purpose: This study aimed to catalog the relationships between step-based accelerometer metrics indicative of physical activity volume (steps per day, adjusted to a pedometer scale), intensity (mean steps per minute from ...
Validation of wearable activity monitors for real-time cadence
(Informa UK Limited, 2019-12-09)
The purpose of this study is to establish evidence of validity for wearable activity monitors providing real-time cadence against a criterion measure. Thirty-six healthy adults, aged 18-65 years, participated in the study. ...
How fast is fast enough? Walking cadence (steps/min) as a practical estimate of intensity in adults: A narrative review
(BMJ, 2018-05-31)
Background: Cadence (steps/min) may be a reasonable proxy-indicator of ambulatory intensity. A summary of current evidence is needed for cadence-based metrics supporting benchmark (standard or point of reference) and ...
Walking cadence (steps/min) and intensity in 21-40 year olds: CADENCE-adults
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-01-17)
Background: Previous studies have reported that walking cadence (steps/min) is associated with absolutely-defined intensity (metabolic equivalents; METs), such that cadence-based thresholds could serve as reasonable proxy ...
Pilot study of impact of a pedal desk on postprandial responses in sedentary workers
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2018-10)
Physical inactivity has been linked to rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease through insulin resistance and other mechanisms. Although sedentary workplace environments have unintentionally contributed to the risk ...
Evaluations of validity and reliability of a transtheoretical model for sedentary behavior among college students
(JCFCorp SG PTE LTD, 2015-09)
Objective: To evaluate the measurement properties of the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) questionnaire for sedentary behaviors among college students and to examine the validity and reliability of the developed TTM questionnaire. ...
Cadence (steps/min) and intensity during ambulation in 6-20 year olds: The CADENCE-kids study
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-02-26)
Background: Steps/day is widely utilized to estimate the total volume of ambulatory activity, but it does not directly reflect intensity, a central tenet of public health guidelines. Cadence (steps/min) represents an ...
Patterns of physical activity and sedentary behavior outside of a college physical activity course
(Paris Scholar Publishing, 2017-07-01)
Objectives: We investigated the patterns of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) outside of a college weight training course. Methods: We recruited university undergraduate students (N = 225) enrolled in a ...
