Resumen
El sedentarismo y la inactividad física son altamente prevalentes globalmente y están asociados a un amplio rango de enfermedades crónicas y muerte prematura. El interés en la conducta sedentaria está justificado por la creciente evidencia que apunta hacia una relación entre esta conducta y el incremento en la prevalencia de obesidad, diabe...

... behaviours: any waking behaviours characterised by an energy expenditure ≤1.5 METs, while in a sitting, reclining, or lying posture. Table 1 lists some activities with an energy expenditure of less than 1.5 METs, and, therefore, classed as sedentary. These activities should be borne in mind when estimating sedentary behaviour, as patients will not usually consider them to be sedentary. ...Similar publications

... En efecto, algunos otros problemas prevalentes en el ámbito de la salud pública incluyen como factor de riesgo el sedentarismo. El principal abordaje de las condiciones metabólicas, de salud cardiovascular y sistémica consiste en la recomendación de intervenciones acerca del estilo de vida entre las que la práctica del ejercicio físico es clave (Rodulfo, 2019;Wang et al., 2021). De acuerdo con la OMS, la gran mayoría de los niños y adultos no alcanzan el nivel de actividad física recomendado por las pautas, que consiste en realizar de 150 a 300 minutos de ejercicio a la semana (World Health Organization, 2024). ...
Introducción: La contaminación aérea es un problema global que afecta la salud de millones de personas. Por otro lado, la actividad física se presenta como un factor protector para la misma, pero surge la incógnita sobre su eficacia en entornos con alta contaminación aérea. Objetivo: Explorar el umbral en el que la actividad física al aire libre pasa a ser detrimental. Material y Método: Se realizó una revisión sistemática basada en los lineamientos PRISMA, donde se revisó la relación entre la actividad física y la contaminación aérea en países en desarrollo. Resultados: Se identificaron 11 estudios, principalmente en China, que analizaban esta relación. Cinco estudios encontraron que la actividad física era beneficiosa para la salud, mientras que otros cinco establecieron niveles de contaminación a partir de los cuales la actividad física al aire libre se volvía perjudicial. Conclusión: Los resultados sugieren que la relación entre actividad física y contaminación aérea depende de los niveles específicos de contaminantes. Integrar estos resultados para hacer recomendaciones amplias es complejo debido a la diversidad de contaminantes y sus efectos en la salud, así como la imposibilidad de calcular la exposición personalizada. Se enfatiza la necesidad de intervenciones de política pública para reducir la contaminación aérea y proteger la salud de la población.
... Examples of sedentary behaviors include watching television, working in an office, driving, or dependence on information and communication technologies (ICT). A sedentary lifestyle or physical inactivity, low levels of PA, and the consumption of UPPs are related to chronic degenerative diseases and premature death (26). ...
Introduction
The consumption of ultra-processed products has been associated with the etiology of various diseases, mainly metabolic diseases. On the other hand, physical activity acts as a protective factor that helps prevent the appearance of this type of disease. In addition to the physical effects, both the consumption of ultra-processed products (UPPs) and sedentary behaviors have been associated with a significant impact on people’s mental health. These problems occur significantly in university students. Online internet interventions are an alternative that has the advantage of reaching a broader sample size and adapting to various problems.
Methods
A randomized controlled clinical superiority trial with two independent groups will be developed with 176 participants. Participants in both groups will be evaluated in 5 steps: (1) pretest, (2) middle of the intervention, (3) post-test, (4) follow-up at 3 months, and (5) follow-up at 6 months. In the experimental group (“UNISALUD”), participants will receive an intervention composed of 11 sessions with interactive elements such as videos, audio, and infographics created through the user experience (UX) principles and based on the health action process approach (HAPA). The participants in the control group will be on the waiting list and will receive treatment 27 days after fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Thus, participants will not receive the treatment immediately.
Discussion
The study is expected to establish the feasibility of a self-help internet-based intervention created based on the user experience methodology and the health action process model, leading to a significant decrease and increase in the consumption of UPPs, ultra-healthy products, and physical activity, respectively.
Conclusion
Internet-based interventions are scarce in Latin America. Due to their potential, this study will provide data about consumption of UPPs, physical activity, and mental health of the Mexican population, which will influence the reduction of health-related complications through prevention strategies or measures.

... Sedentary lifestyles, metaphorically considered the disease of today's society, have increased markedly and are the main cause of the rise in childhood overweight and obesity (Matamoros, 2019;Rodulfo, 2019). The IAN-AF, 2015(Oliveira et al., 2018 reported that 57.5% of Portuguese children and adolescents (aged 6-14 years) met the recommendations set by the WHO [60 min/day of moderate/ vigorous physical activity (PA) (≥3METS/h)]. ...
Background/objective
Physical literacy assessment is considered a vital resource to decrease the prevalence of sedentary lifestyles and physical inactivity in children and adolescents worldwide. In Portugal, there is no physical literacy assessment tool for children under 15 years old. The main objective of this study was to carry out a translation and cultural adaptation of the Canadian Physical Literacy Assessment 2 (CAPL-2) into Portuguese, as well as to test its psychometric properties, in children between 8 and 12 years of age.
Methods
The questionnaires included in the CAPL-2 were translated using the translation-back-translation method and adapted to their context. The test–retest reliability, internal consistency, and confirmatory factor analysis of the CAPL-2 Portuguese version were analyzed in a sample of 69 and 138 students, respectively, from a school in the Alentejo region (Portugal).
Results
The Portuguese version of the CAPL-2 questionnaires demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α: 0.713–0.979) and test–retest reliability ranging from moderate to nearly perfect in the motivation and confidence domain and knowledge and comprehension domain (ICC = 0.549–0.932). The results showed a good fit after adjusting for covariation paths (CMIN/DF = 1.382, p = 0.105, RMSEA = 0.053, CFI = 0.971, TLI = 0.955, NFI = 0.907).
Conclusion
The CAPL-2 version of the questionnaires, translated and adapted to the Portuguese context, demonstrated validity and reliability, making them suitable for assessing physical literacy in children aged 8–12 years.
... Health promotion programs in the workplace have been shown to have a positive impact on workers' physical and mental health [4,5]. Currently, there is an increase in sedentary lifestyles caused by a mechanization of work, technology, etc., in the workplace, and by changes in the environment and society outside workplace [6]. Sedentary lifestyles are associated with worse health and an increase in early morbidity and mortality. ...
Contradictory data exist on the impact of occupational physical activity (OPA) on cardiovascular health. We aimed to evaluate the association between OPA and cardiometabolic risk factors. A cross-sectional study was performed in an environmental services company in 2017 (Spain). OPA was classified by work categories as being low (≤3 METs) or moderate−high (>3 METs). Multiple linear and logistic binary regression models were used to assess the associations between OPA and cardiometabolic risk factors related to obesity, blood pressure, blood lipids, and associated medical conditions, adjusted by age, sex, alcohol consumption, and global physical activity. In total, 751 employees were included (547 males and 204 females), and 55.5% (n = 417) had moderate−high OPA. Significant inverse associations were observed between OPA and weight, body mass index, waist circumference, waist−hip ratio, and total cholesterol both overall and in males. OPA was significantly inversely related to dyslipidemia overall and in both sexes, while the overweight plus obesity rate was inversely related only in the total and male populations. OPA was associated with a better cardiometabolic risk factor profile, particularly in males. The fact that our models were also adjusted by global physical activity highlights the associations obtained as being independent of leisure time physical activity effects.
... The world is currently experiencing an epidemic of sedentary lifestyles caused by a "robotisation" of play, mechanisation of work, automation of tasks, "concretisation" of the environment, as well as an abuse of passive technological leisure [1][2][3]. All this leads to a decrease in the level of physical activity and a decrease in physical capacity, which results in an increase in early morbidity and mortality. ...
The social changes we have been experiencing in recent years are generating anxiety that, together with sedentary lifestyles and poor health habits, are leading to premature ageing of society, in addition to the high rates of obesity and associated morbidity. In order to improve the lifestyles of the university community, the objective of this research project was the implementation of the UAL Activa programme based on physical activity. The beneficiaries were UAL staff from different sections, a total of 68 participants aged between 28 and 61 years (M age = 49.36). Additionally, a total of 12 final year students of the degree in physical activity and sport sciences were responsible for designing and developing the exercise tasks. In-depth interviews were held with the participants of this project about the different benefits that their participation had brought them. The results obtained from the analysis with Nvivo v.10. showed five thematic blocks on the perceived improvements in physical fitness, physical condition, mood and emotional state, assessment of the new lifestyle, and social relations. In conclusion, the benefits of physical activity and the need to continue implementing action and intervention plans to encourage and promote its practice in all sectors of the population were highlighted.
... Particular focus should be placed on sedentary or inactive lifestyle, whereas sedentary behavior is described as waking behavior spent in a sitting or lying position with energy expenditure of ≤1.5 METs, and inactive behavior describes an insufficient extent of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity [6]. These lifestyles pose a major public health problem, with almost a third of the world's population now behaving in an inactive way [7], whereby, underlying factors are multifaceted [8]. The effects of such passive behavior are also manifold, e.g., time spent sitting is a major risk factor for mortality and morbidity [9]. ...
... Clinically relevant health benefits for a wide range of conditions could be achieved at levels of physical activity clearly below current international recommendations (e.g., least 150 min of weekly moderate to vigorous physical activity) [7]. However, achieving the minimum suggested level is reported to be associated with near-maximum longevity benefits too [2]. ...
Background:
Lifelong physical activity is related to longer health span, which is reflected at an individual level, and is of substantial socioeconomic relevance. Sedentary lifestyles, on the other hand, pose an increasingly major public health problem. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on activity levels and well-being. Previous research indicates that contact with nature might improve exercise levels as well as well-being.
Methods:
This randomized, controlled clinical trial (ANKER-study) investigated the effects of two types of nature-based therapies (forest therapy and mountain hiking) in couples (FTG: n = 23; HG: n = 22;) with a sedentary or inactive lifestyle on health-related quality of life, relationship quality and other psychological and physiological parameters.
Results:
The results of this study displayed that healthy and highly functioning women and men with sedentary lifestyles mentally benefit from contact with nature (quality of life, satisfaction with life, mood, internal and external health-related control beliefs). The gender-specific effect on women is most visible in the physiological outcomes (hemopoietic system, aerobic capacity, skeletal muscle mass and hydration) of mountain hiking. Men and women showed small improvements in blood pressure as a result of the interventions.
Conclusions:
The ANKER-study provides a method for valid comparison of forest therapy interventions for the first time. Regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the nature-based intervention presented could offer a multimodal contribution to maintaining a more active lifestyle, further contact with nature that affects peoples physical as well as mental health, and an improvement in social interaction.
... Compared to those living in rural areas, urban residents are 26% more likely to be considered physically inactive (Castrillon et al., 2020). Regarding psychosocial aspects, it was discovered that selecting a sedentary lifestyle was almost three times more likely when one lacked knowledge about physical activity (Rodulfo, 2019). A 48% association between a sedentary lifestyle and a bad self-perception of health was also found (Rodulfo, 2019). ...

Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that require energy expenditure. Reduced physical activity and unhealthy eating habits represent a significant risk to children's health and the formation of a negative attitude toward themselves. Our research aimed to examine how physically active children aged eleven, thirteen, and fifteen are in the Republic of Serbia. The paper used data from the Health Behavior Survey of school-age children in the Republic of Serbia in 2017. The standardized international protocol of the World Health Organization was used to collect data. 3933 schoolchildren aged eleven, thirteen, and fifteen were surveyed. Daily physical activity is statistically significantly different by region at the ages of eleven and fifteen, with a tendency to decrease with age (χ 2 =39.84; dF=21; p=0.008), and at the age of fifteen (χ 2 =42.77; dF =21; p=0.003). The most pronounced difference by region is in Belgrade, where the number of physically active children is significantly lower. At the age of fifteen, every fifth child has daily physical activity, while in other regions a third of them do. Children aged eleven are physically active all 7 days a week in Šumadija and Western Serbia (41.2%), in Vojvodina 40.5%, in Southern and Eastern Serbia 39.6%, and the least in Belgrade 37.9%. Based on the analyzed data, it can be concluded that children aged eleven, thirteen, and fifteen in the Republic of Serbia are insufficiently physically active. The results show that it is necessary to intensify health-educational programs and improve cooperation between families, schools, and health institutions in the field of preventive activities.
... Childhood obesity is one of the major problems and challenges for public health in advanced societies [20] and is closely related to sedentary lifestyles, being considered the 21 st -century disease [21,22]. Obesity has been identified as a condition which significantly influences an individual's level of PL [23]. ...
This article empirically provides a global overview of physical literacy, which allows for the understanding of the structure of the epistemic community studying literacy for healthy living. Publications registered in the Web of Science are analyzed using bibliometrics (spatial, productive, and relational) based on data from 391 records, published between 2007 and April 2022, applying five bibliometric laws and using VOSviewer software for data and metadata processing and visualization. In terms of results, we observe an exponential increase in scientific production in the last decade, with a concentration of scientific discussion on physical literacy in seven journals; a production distributed in 46 countries situated on the five continents, but concentrated in Canada and the United States; co-authored research networks composed of 1256 researchers but with a production concentrated of around 2% of these, and an even smaller number of authors with high production and high impact. Finally, there are four thematic blocks that, although interacting, constitute three specific knowledge production communities that have been delineated over time in relation to health and quality of life, fitness and physical competence, education, and fundamental movement skills.
... One third of the world's population suffers from some form of pain [1].

Introduction:
One third of the world's population suffers from some form of pain. Physical inactivity is one of the causes that reduces physical fitness and may lead to an increase in the prevalence of pain in the population.
Aims:
To analyse the relationships between the level of physical activity (PAL) and the prevalence and degree of pain, the limitations and impact of pain on daily activities and the use of pain medication in the Spanish population.
Hypothesis:
PAL is related to pain among Spaniards.
Methodology:
A cross-sectional study design was used, based on data obtained from the Spanish National Health Survey 2017 with 17,777 participants. A descriptive analysis was performed. Nonparametric statistical tests were used: chi-square statistic to analyse intergroup differences in ordinal variables; Mann-Whitney U test to analyse intergroup differences in continuous variables. A correlation study was also performed between the variables of interest, using Spearman's rho.
Results:
Relationships were found between PAL and: prevalence of pain, degree of pain, limitations due to pain in usual activities, level of impact in daily activities and use of pain medication in the Spanish population (p < 0.001). Performing moderate and intense PA was related to lower prevalence and degree of pain in the population that performed it, compared to those who only walked or were inactive. Weak correlations were found between the level of PA and the study variables (p < 0.001).
Conclusions:
High PALs in the population are related to better indicators of pain among Spaniards, appearing to reduce the prevalence and degree of pain, as well as the limitations and impact caused by pain in the daily activities of citizens, and could reduce the use of pain medication in the adult Spanish population.
... For children and youth (ages 5 to 17 years), the World Health Organization [7] recommends at least 60 minutes of daily moderate to vigorous physical activity, mainly aerobic exercises. Thus, higher levels of physical inactivity have been highlighted as one of the major problems in current society [8,9], leading to a significant increase in obesity worldwide [10]. ...
Creative strategies allow students to feel ownership of their learning, fostering interest and motivation towards sports and educational contexts. This study aimed to compare different psychological variables after applying creative and traditional sessions of recreational figure roller-skating. Twelve school-age female skaters (9.00 ± 1.09 years old) participated in this pilot study. They performed two sessions: (1) a creative session (where participants created their own choreography) and (2) a traditional session (where participants followed the choreography created by the sports professional). In the creative session, participants created their choreographies without instructions. The basic psychological needs scale, the measure of intentionality to be physically active (sports adherence) and the games and emotions scale were administered after each session. The creative intervention led to a higher satisfaction of the needs of perceived competence (p-value = 0.04; effect size = 0.59), social relationships (p-value = 0.03; effect size = 0.62) and adherence to figure roller-skating (p-value = 0.02; effect size = 0.69), compared to the traditional intervention in female skaters. Participants showed significantly more humor and less surprise in the creative session than in the traditional session. This greater satisfaction with perceived competence and social relationships could translate into greater adherence to sports.
