Exercise is a form of physical activity (PA). PA is an important marker of health and quality of life in older adults. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature to assess the effect of exercise-based interventions on an at least six-month follow up PA measure, and to describe the specific strategies implemented...

We evaluated the impact of a workplace 'sit less, move more' programme (Walk@WorkSpain, W@WS, 19-week) on self-reported activity-related energy expenditure (AREE) in Spanish office employees (n = 264; 42 ± 10 years; 171 female) randomly assigned to Intervention (IG; used W@WS; n = 129) or comparison groups (CGs; n = 135). A linear mixed model asses...

Background Few studies have examined the impact of ‘sit less, move more’ interventions on workplace performance. This study assessed the short and mid-term impacts of and patterns of change within, a 19-week workplace web-based intervention (Walk@WorkSpain; W@WS; 2010–11) on employees´ presenteeism, mental well-being and lost work performance. Meth...

Este artículo es una revisión bibliográfica que pretende reflejar el estado del arte de la relación entre práctica de ejercicio físico y los procesos cognitivos en la última fase de la vida de las personas. Diferentes estudios han relacionado la práctica del ejercicio con la reducción de síntomas de ansiedad y depresión, con la mejora del bienestar...

Little is known about how sitting time, alone or in combination with markers of physical activity (PA), influences mental well-being and work productivity. Given the need to develop workplace PA interventions that target employees' health related efficiency outcomes; this study examined the associations between self-reported sitting time, PA, menta...

div> The main aim of this paper is to quantify the supply and demand of Physical Activities for older adults in public facilities of the Sport System (SD) and Social System (SS) in the city of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat during the school year 2011-12. Persons in charge of the facilities filled a questionnaire reporting profile of users, type of prac...

NTRODUCTION: People with intellectual disability (ID) have reduced balance ability, coordination and strength compared to people without ID. Motor impairments in people with ID are common, as ID affects cognitive and motor function. It is unknown if a Dance Movement Therapy Program (DMTP) can improve these variables. PURPOSE: To compare coordinati...

Objective. To evaluate Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), medication used, and Stock of Health Capital (SHC) in physically active elderly participants in Community Exercise Programs (CEPs) compared to a sedentary group. Methods. EuroQol standardized instrument was completed by physically active elderly (n = 2,185) who participated in CEPs. Com...

Resumen Introducción: Prolongados periodos de tiempo sentado son un factor de riesgo cardiovascular (RCV). Debido a que aproximadamente el 80% de la población activa trabaja en ocupaciones sedentarias y que la circunferencia de cintura (CC) es un marcador clave de RCV; el objetivo de este estudio es identificar los factores asociados a la reducción...

Introduction: Higher levels of daily sitting time are associated with an elevated risk for type 2 diabetes, all-cause and cardiovascu- lar disease mortality. As a typical work day represents one-half of waking hours and because people spent an average of 10 hours sit- ting a day, workplace interventions aimed at reducing sitting time are needed. Cu...

IntroductionThis pre-experimental study analyses the Functional Capacity (FC), Body Mass Index (BMI), Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and Health Capital Stock (HCS) of elderly people participating in a Walking program in Granollers (Barcelona).

BACKGROUND: While increasing evidence suggests the negative effects of physical inactivity on individual job productivity1 and the negative associations between high occupational sitting times and employee’s health2, the relationship between time spent sitting at work and job performance remains unclear. PURPOSE: Prior to the beginning of a pedomet...
