Physical Activity Interventions

The purpose of our study was to identify contributors underlying the intention to engage in leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) among Latinas. A sample of Latinas was recruited from North Texas ( N = 405). Sequential multiple regression analysis was used to assess the association between sociodemographics, the role of Latino culture (i.e., fatalism, a cultural belief that may be related to LTPA intention), and theoretical constructs drawn from the Integrative Model (i.e., self-efficacy, attitude, and subjective norm) in relation to LTPA intention in Latinas. Self-efficacy (β = .29, p < .001), attitude (β = .26, p < .001), and subjective norm (β = .17, p < .001), but not fatalism, significantly predicted intention to engage in LTPA. To increase LTPA intention among Latinas, it is recommended that physical activity interventions consider enhancing self-efficacy, fostering favorable attitudes toward LTPA, and modifying participant norms on LTPA.

Background:Most of physical activity surveillance data are derived from high-income countries. The aim of the current study was to report time trends in leisure-time physical activity.Methods:Population-based surveys were conducted in the city of Pelotas, Brazil in 2003 and 2010, including individuals aged 20+ years. Physical activity was assessed using the leisure-time section of the long version of the IPAQ. A cut-off point of 150 min/wk was used in the analyses. Methodologies were virtually identical in both surveys.Results:In 2003, 26.8% (95% CI 24.3; 29.2) of the participants were classified as active in leisuretime, as compared with 24.4% (95% CI 22.6; 26.2) in 2010. The proportion of subjects reporting 0 minutes per week of walking, moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity practice also did not vary between 2003 and 2010. However, the proportion of active adults decreased from 39.9% (95% CI 33.0; 42.7) in 2003 to 29.7% (95% CI 24.9; 34.5) in 2010 among high-income participants. Males were more active than females in both surveys.Conclusions:Leisure-time physical activity is stable among adults living in the South of Brazil, but high-income participants are becoming less active over time. Scaling up effective and promising physical activity interventions is urgently needed in Brazil.

The aim of the present study was to systematize and analyze the methodological quality of physical activity interventions in leisure time in obese adults. A systematic review was conducted between June and August 2017 through four electronic databases (PubMed, Lilacs, ScienceDirect and Web of Science). A total of two researchers selected articles and, through consensus, analyzed these articles using the RE-AIM framework, which aims to identify the following dimensions: reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation and maintenance of interventions. Of the 2,334 articles selected, nine met all eligibility criteria. The mean duration of the interventions was 14 weeks, with strategies including mainly aerobic exercises and nutritional monitoring. When the individual studies were taken into consideration, 67% reported at least one category of each dimension. The dimension with the highest reported proportion was “reach”, found in 65% of the interventions. The “effectiveness”, “adoption” (organizational and staff), “implementation” and “maintenance” dimensions (individual and organizational) were reported in less than 40% of the items investigated for this information. The conclusion is that most of intervention studies reported the “reach” dimension, while only a few described “maintenance”. Thus, it is suggested that future studies should previously look at the presentation of the total effect of the intervention and the methods applied, offering detailed information about each procedure. The scientific and practical scenario will provide relevant information about construction, application and subsequent follow-up of the interventions in leisure-time physical activity for obese adults.

Abstract Objectives Despite improving survival rates, people with advanced cancer face several physical and psychosocial concerns. Leisure-time physical activity (LPA) has been found to be beneficial after cancer diagnosis, but little is known about the current state of research exploring LPA in advanced cancer. Our objectives were to (a) map the literature examining LPA in people with advanced cancer, (b) report on the terms used to describe the advanced cancer population within the literature, and (c) examine how the concept of LPA is operationalized within the literature. Method Our scoping review followed Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework. We performed a search of 11 electronic databases and supplementary sources (February 2018; database search updated January 2020). Two reviewers independently reviewed and selected articles according to the inclusion criteria: English-language journal articles on original primary research studies exploring LPA in adults diagnosed with advanced cancer. Descriptive and thematic analyses were performed. Results Ninety-two articles met our criteria. Most included studies were published in the last decade (80%) and used quantitative methods (77%). Many study populations included mixed (40%), breast (21%), or lung (17%) cancers. Stages 3–4 or metastatic disease were frequently indicated to describe study populations (77%). Several studies (68%) described LPA programs or interventions. Of these, 78% involved structured aerobic/resistance exercise, while 16% explored other LPA types. Significance of results This review demonstrates a recent surge in research exploring LPA in advanced cancer, particularly studies examining exercise interventions with traditional quantitative methods. There remains insufficient knowledge about patient experiences and perceptions toward LPA. Moreover, little is known about other leisure activities (e.g., Tai Chi, dance, and sports) for this population. To optimize the benefits of LPA in people with advanced cancer, research is needed to address the gaps in the current literature and to develop personalized, evidence-based supportive care strategies in cancer care.
