Q

Physical activity guidelines for adults

A

Any sort of physical activity is better than doing none
Be active most days of the week
Accumulate in 2.5-5 hours of moderate intensity PA or 1.25-2.5 hours of vigorous intensity PA a week

Q

METs

A

METS is a way of measuring physical activity intensity
This unit is used to estimate the amount of oxygen used by the body during physical activity
1 MET= energy expenditure at rest
The harder you work, the higher he MET
3-6 moderate 6+ vigorous

Q

Direct observation

A

Involves watching participant and recording results using a template

Q

Pedometry

A

Small device that counts steps
ADVANTAGES: inexpensive, non-invasive, small, able to measure common activity, can be used in all settings
DISADVANTAGES: doesn’t measure the dimensions, misses a lot of context of PA, loss of accuracy when running, and possibility of being tampered with by the participant, potential to be reactive

Q

Accelerometry

A

Worn by participant and records all body motion over time. Focuses on acceleration and deacceleration.
ADVANTAGES: provides information and on frequency, intensity and duration, small, simple, quick data
DISADVANTAGES: expensive, not good for large groups, needs a pro to administer

A

Bias that occurs when people modify their behaviour during the period of measurement
Eg. If people know they’re being measured the may alter their PA

Q

Social desirability bias

A

When a persons report results are a,there’s in some way to appear more socially desirable

Study These Flashcards
A

Confidence in your ability to be active within a specific circumstance
Eg. When you’re tired

22

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Baseline measures (pre intervention)
  2. Intervention programs

PA promotion

Individual

Study These Flashcards
A

Strategies to achieve individual behaviour change

Print and web based media
Counselling
Process of change

24
Q

Print and we based media

Study These Flashcards
A

Web: Facebook, Twitter, website, email, text
Print: flyers, handouts, brochures, booklets

25
Counselling
In person eg. Person trainer, doctor, physio 1. Assess motivational readiness 2. Matching motivational readiness with process of change 3. Identifying opportunities to be active 4. Contracting 5. enlisting social support 6. Reminder systems 7. Gradual programming 8. Tailoring
26
Process of change
The types of strategy employed to encourage changes in PA levels
27
Process of change cognitive strategies
-awareness of Risks -increasing knowledge -caring about consequences to others -comprehending benefits -increasing health opportunities COGNITIVE=THINKING
28
Process of change, behavioural strategies
-enlisting social support -reminding yourself -rewarding yourself -substituting alternatives -committing yourself BEHAVIOURL=DOING
29
PA Promotion | Population
Strategies to achieve changes in the population Mass media Environmental change Policy
30
Environmental change
Remove impediments to the activity (take away reasons not to participate in PA) Introduce new facilities Should be tailored to the settings Eg. Bike racks at a school in the city are impractical due to lack or pathways and safety
31
Policy
Laws, regulations and rules Legislation policy: governed by law enforcement Organisational policy: appropriate behaviour Eg. Sun smart policy, needs a hat
32
Mass media
Aim is to reach groups of individuals without personal contact or face to face meetings Tv, radios, billboards, newspaper
33
Intrapersonal factors
Individual ``` Factors: Demographics Biological Behavioural Cognitive of effective ```
34
Interpersonal factors
Social environment Factors: Cultural Social climate Supportive behaviours
35
Social ecological model levels
Individual: gender, age, socioeconomic stauts Social environment: friends, family, workmates Physical environment: weather, location Policy: rules and regulations
36
Individual level | Intervention strategies
Includes personal factors that increase/decrease the likelihood of an individual being physically active Strategies: Counselling Incentives Support groups
37
Physical environment | Intervention strategies
Can either be built or natural environment Strategies Inclusion of walking tracks Parks in housing estates
38
Policy level | Intervention strategies
Refers to rules, legislation, regulatory or policy, making actions that have the potential to effect PA
39
Social ecological model inter-relationships
All levels effect one another For an intervention to be successful it should target all areas No single factors count
40
Interventions/ strategy/ program effectiveness
More likely to be effective when all levels are involved
41
Structure of SEM answer
- Begin with definiton - Name the program, is likely/not likely to be successful because it does/doesn't address all four levels - Discuss each level and an example, write in brackets what the level is - All factors worked/didn't work together because they did/didn't address all four levels
42
Defintion of social ecological model
A multilevel approach to changing PA behaviour
43
Settings based approach
When promotional strategies are delivered within a defined setting, Eg. School, workplace
44
School setting | Interventions and initiatives
Plays an essential role in providing a physical and social environment that supports children in enjoying an active life Interventions: Use PA in cultural and leisure events Use combinations of social influences and Provide facilities Initiatives: go for your life, the walking school bus
45
Community setting | Initiatives and interventions
Broadly defined to include groups of people from the same suburb, town, city or county Initiative: 10,000 step program Intervention: support local councils and other organisations, Distribute information to encourage PA
46
Workplace settings | Benefits, approaches, initiative
Ideal place to promote PA because majority of the population work Bring people together to provide social support Benefits to employers: reduce staff turnovers, increase productivity, reduce absenteeism Approaches: an environmental audit, encourage stairs instead of lifts Initiatives: find 30 everyday
47
Vichealth Role in Promoting Initiatives
Fosters change in the social, cultural and physical environments that influence the health of all Victorians Role: encouraging the development of healthy environments in sporting clubs, providing financial support to clubs, finding safe routes to schools. Initiatives: cycling for health, keen agers, go west
48
Nation heart foundation | Mission
Work closely with all levels of government groups to promote hearth health and implement policies that improve cardiovascular health of Australians Mission: to reduce suffering and death from stroke, heart and vessel disease in Australia
49
Heart foundation | Promoting PA
- Forming partnerships with government departments to pride PA advice - Promotes awareness of healthy lifestyles from mass media campaigns - Raising funds for health research
50
Health spaces and places | Aim
National guide to designing space and places for healthy living and PA promotion Links the heart foundation, the Australian local government association and the planning institute of Australia Aim: encourage the development of built environments that provide an opportunity to be active
51
State governments role in promoting physical activity
Funding research, mass media campaigns and local initiatives Major initiates Go for your life and go for your life kids (school)
52
Barriers to physical activity
Age, motivation levels, attitude, lack of time, lack of access, lack of self efficacy
