HIGHLIGHTS The Whitton Executive Series is sponsored by Elaine Whitton Davis and the College of Business Administration. Walt Pavlo Jr. consults, writes and speaks on topics ranging from white collar crime to criminal justice....
BACKGROUND: There are major health benefits of physical activity (PA) during pregnancy, yet there is scant data about a woman's knowledge and understanding of these benefits globally. DESIGN AND METHODS: We aimed to evaluate the...
BACKGROUND: Physical activity is likely to be determined as a complex interplay between personal, interpersonal, and environmental factors. Studying the built environment involves expanding the focus from the individual...
Abstract
Background
Physical activity is likely to be determined as a complex interplay between personal, interpersonal, and environmental factors. Studying the built environment...
OBJECTIVE: To identify and describe summarized evidence on factors associated with diet and physical activity in low- and middle-income countries in Africa and the Caribbean by performing a scoping review of reviews. METHODS: We...
Background: The value of a systems thinking approach to tackling population physical inactivity is increasingly recognized. This study used conceptual systems thinking to develop a cognitive map for physical activity (PA)...

BACKGROUND: Levels of physical activity and variation in physical activity and sedentary time by place and person in European children and adolescents are largely unknown. The objective of the study was to assess the variations...
HIGHLIGHTS The Whitton Executive Series is sponsored by Elaine Whitton Davis and the College of Business Administration. Elie Bursztein heads anti-abuse research at Google and was a post-doctoral fellow in computer science at...
Accelerometers are widely used in health sciences, ecology and other application areas. They quantify the intensity of physical activity as counts per epoch over a given period of time. Currently, health scientists use very...
Our research shows that no single metric will reflect an individual’s physical activity adequately because multiple biologically important dimensions are independent and unrelated. We propose that there is an opportunity to...

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: We studied for the first time the long-term effects of a combined physical activity and dietary intervention on insulin resistance and fasting plasma glucose in a general population of predominantly...
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Inverse associations between physical activity (PA) and type 2 diabetes mellitus are well known. However, the shape of the dose-response relationship is still uncertain. This review synthesises results from...
Abstract: Aims/hypothesis: It is well established that physical activity, abdominal ectopic fat and glycaemic regulation are related but the underlying structure of these relationships is unclear. The previously proposed...
Deep, rapid cuts in greenhouse gas emissions are needed to limit future global temperature increases to 1·5°C above pre-industrial levels, but current progress is inadequate to achieve the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease, which not only affects the joints but can also impact on general well-being and risk for cardiovascular disease. Regular physical activity and exercise in patients with RA have...
