Q

Why might there be cognitive benefits with PA/SB?

A

Not much explaination why?
Physiological mech
INCREASED BF and perfusion - MRI etc
Socialsation in sport - decisions etc.

Exposure - PA, sport, fitness (hard to unpick independent relationships)
Combined impact cognitive, pyscho-socail (ability to work in groups, support etc) and improved school engagement leading to improved education achievement.
Mixed evidence for each.

Q

Another review, CDC, relationship between school-based PA (including PE) and academic performance? Backed up by later evidence?

A

PE, recess, classroom and extracurricular PA • Of all the associaXons examined, 50.5% were posi;ve, 48% not significant, and 1.5% were negative.

Second review by Singh

Strong evidence of a significant positive relationship between PA and academic performance later. Mostly from observational studies - more PA is related to improved academic from high quality evidence.

Q

Reults of Cliff et al 2016

A

No association with Adiposity (despite 11 with sig pos association)
No association with Cardio-metabolic outcomes (8/29 at keast ibe sig outcome)
Stat sig meta analysis between sedentary time and 5 studies with glucose/insulin. Weak positive association (r=0.07).
ROB and MVPA were sig moderators however
Publication bias
No association with health related fitness
Inconsistent/uncertain association with bone and musculoskeletal outcomes
ROB in all studies regarding psychosocial outcomes
No association (inconsistent/uncertain for 1/4 which was low ROB)
Inconsistent/ uncertain gross motor function - few studies (3)
Inconsitent/ uncertain for cognitive outcomes - few studies (3)

25
Why may Screen time behaviour studies conflict with Cliff et al 2016
May be unique mechanisms for TV viewing/electron media to influence health and development in young ppl, not common to all SB Proxy report/ self Increasd sitting time and decreased energy expenditure Increased energy intake from unhealthy snacking and sugary beverage consumption during and following exposure Exposure to advertising Displacement of opportunities for social and education development Exposure to content which promotes socially undesorable behaviour Develoment of biological processes of dependence Interference of cognitive processes Displacement of MVPA
26
Why may adults SB literature differ (overall ST and patterns are adversely assoc with health outcomes) Cliff et al 2016
Difficult to say (issues with measuring): Measurement issues of SB Validity of cutpoints - standing still classified as SB in accelerometry However adult studies with these limitation still founds assoc Potential codependence of SB and PA (waking hours are finite so if not in SB then in LPA) therefore intrisically codependent Lower levels/ shorted lifetime exposure to SB Higher levels of PA and time in MVPA Healthier profiles for cardio-metabolic outcomes investigated in children Above 3 Indicated by: A day of prolonged sitting did not have adverse effects compared to a daybroken up with LPA Also: Some evidence that obese/ overwight children may benefit as unhealthier cardio-metab profiles, greater SB exposure or lower MVPA. allowing detection of adverse effects earlier.
27
Implications for literature from comparisons of results with existing literature from Cliff et al 2016
Compositional analyses needed to understand optimal balance between SB, LPA, MVPA and sleep to maximise health and developments Further experimental evidence needed to detect shifts from sitting to standing or LPA More exp/log evidence using direct measure of sitting posture and examining multiple outocmes at different age groups independent of MVPA.
28
Can review claim the excessive SB does not adversely impact health and development in children and adolescents? Why?
Premature to conclude that excessive SB does not adversely impact health and development in children and adolescents Adverse effects among adults and some evidence of tracking of SB across the life course, encouragement of limiting SB in children is prudent.
29
Limitations of Cliff et al 2016
Limitations of evidence base No experimental studies <50% had low ROB Impacts strength of conclusions However finding were consitent across ROB categories (not adiposity meta) Cross sectional with some longitudinal in obesity Using activity monitors at hip/ wrist still limited to differentiate between sitting and standing likely leading to ST being overestimated Not all studies in evidence summaries included in met-analysis - not all authors contacted. Multiple markers of cardiometabolic measured in studies increasing chance of positive result Validity of outcome measured not considered - ROB But all but one psychological study were validatied
30
Strengths of Cliff et al 2016
Wide range of health outcomes explored First to focus on objectively measured SB vol and patterns Categorised level of evidence for each outcome Findings enhances by examination of potential moderating effects of ROM and MVPA adjustment
31
Why might girls be less active than boys?
Biological maturity affecting social factors | Do we socialise adolescent girls out of PA?
32
FM and FFM differences gender?
FFM much greater increase in males FM same % fat different to boys and girls
33
Skinfold changes with age gender
Females always higher, more marked after age 12 Both extremities and trunk Boys sigmoid - drops, increases, drops, increases (overall increasing less marked than girls) higher in extremities
34
Muscle mass changes with age
Similar steady increase in male and female | Increases after puberty (age 12ish)
35
Is there an obesity epidemic?
Epidemic = rapid rise in cases Both in developed and undeveloped UK not doing well Childhood remained stable over last 20 years - national health survey
36
Describe the national child measurement program, categorisation and key 14/15 findings
80% healthy weight in reception Obesity = more extreme excess of adiposity Overweight = >= 85% Obesity >= 95% 91 and 98 may be better - these are used in letters for parents but 85 95 used in official statements Most sign posted national programme - Underweight = <=2% Year 6 More obese than overweight 65% Healthy Misclassification from BMI - tends to wash out over whole pop
37
Health survey for england findings
Health Survey for England Similar stats Similar at 2-10, higher older for girls
38
Measurement issues with national measurement programs?
Critical thought - Measurement issues Minimal training for nurses Calibrated scales should be used Check stadiometer for flexing No standardisation of time of day - loss of 2cm Eat more and drink more throughout the day Wholeschools disadvantaged if measured in the afternoon 7.5% of girls shifted to overweight or obese girls from measuring in afternoon
39
Changes in obesity prev different areas nationally, meaning?
Overweight prev in West mid and London Obesity slightly diff - London and North East Sociodemographic and economic factors?
40
Describe the trend in prev of excess weight in Uk from health survey for England
Statistically hard to say in 20 years More marked in Aus and US? Epidemic? Similar in obesity - 5% change
41
trend from national child measurement prog
``` Not massive change Down in boys over time in reception Overall decrease in reception Year 6 Increasing ```
42
How has BMI distribution changed in UK since 1990?
``` 1990 data = reference data Reception Slight shift to right Similar shape Year 6 children Heavy children getting heavier Skewness to the right ```
43
Medical complications of obesity in childhood
``` OSA Type 2 diabetes Gynacoglogical problems Abnormal mesnses Infertility PCOS ```
44
Describe OSA
Disorder of breathing during sleep characterised by prolonged partial/ complete upper airway obstruction that disrupts normal ventilation and normal sleep patters Symptoms including havitual snoring, sleep difficulties and/or daytime neurobehavioural problems 1-1.5%
45
Causes of OSA in children
Lymphoid tissues blocking (milder lymphoid hypertrophy) associated with obesity Type II Obesity cause or consequence 1BMI increase above 50th% = 12% increase in OSA 45% of obese children with OSA have adenotonsillar hypertrophy
46
What is metabolic syndrome
``` Clustering of most dangerous RFs for CVD and type 2 diabetes Abdominal obesity High cholesterol HBP Diabetes/ raised fassting glucose Raised fasting plasma glucose Children Many definitions in children Age specific cutoffs - IDF Includes Obesity (WC) Triglycerides HDL-C BP Glucose or T2DM Cant be diagnosed under 10 ```
47
Prevention and primary management of metabolic syndrome
Non-specific prevention guidelines due to lack of evidence IDF (international diabetes Fed) Moderate calorie restriction to achieve a 5-10per cent loss of body weight in first year Moderate increase in PA Change in dietary comp
48
Recommendation for future work on metabolic syndrome IDF
Improved understanding of relationship between body fat and distribution Do early growth patterns predict future adiposity and other features (LBW too) Investigate definitions sensitive to normal variation Better measurement than BMI of central adiposity Ethnic specific, age specific cut points for waist circum
49
Screening opportunities for T2DM?
HBA1c and 1,5-anhydroglucitol potentially useful in screening in a pediatric obesity clinic
50
Cause of T2DM
Destruction of islet cells within the pancreas causes this resistance Obesity a cause Other RFs
51
Changes in prev of T2DM in chidlren?
admission rates in youth <18yrs in UK icnreased by 63.5% from 96-04
52
Why T2DM in children is a worry?
earlier develop the clinical manifestations of T2DM, the earlier complications might appear
53
Best predictors of T2DM in children? Mcgavock et al 2007
Metbaolic syndrome RFs better predicter of T2DM than Fx and fasting glucose
54
Complications of T2DM in children Mcgavock et al 2007
Hypertension Nephropathy - Microalbuminuria also RF assoc Dyslipidaemia - specifically TGs, total cholest, LDL, HDL-C Hepatic steatosis - increased risk of cirrhosis and portal hypertension -raised liver enzymes Subclinical risk factors Elevated CRP Reduced serum adiponectin Endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffness? Central adiposity
55
When are PA interventions most effective in reducing BMI in children? Mcgavock et al 2007
Hypertension Nephropathy - Microalbuminuria also RF assoc Dyslipidaemia - specifically TGs, total cholest, LDL, HDL-C Hepatic steatosis - increased risk of cirrhosis and portal hypertension -raised liver enzymes Subclinical risk factors Elevated CRP Reduced serum adiponectin Endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffness? Central adiposity
56
What should be considered in 'dose' prescription of exercise to youth? Mcgavock et al 2007
Duration and intensity should be considered in the prescription of a dose for management and prevention of T2DM in youth MVPA better correlated with overweight risk than total PA.
57
Describe insulin sensitivity in youth Mcgavock et al 2007
Early manifestation of T2DM PA important in prevention Resistnace in insulin-mediated glucose disposal causes Correlated with PA - RCTs confirm 40-60mins daily for a minimum of 4 months
58
Describe Sedentary (screen) time in youth and relation to DM Mcgavock et al 2007
Time spent watching TV, working on a comp or playing video games Related to obesity and metabolic risk Adiposity and RF clustering increase incrementally with incresing screen time, independent of PA patterns. Interventions targetting screen time attenuate weight gain in young children Should be targeted as an infependent RF for DM as it is a RF for obesity.
59
American diabetes association/ AHA recommendation for PA/Screen time/ diet Mcgavock et al 2007
PA, >1hr MVPA daily and reduction of screen time below 2 hours daily - American Diabetes Association and American Heart association. Adolescents are asked to achieve total and sat fat intake <30% and 10% respectively, fibre intake 25-35g daily and increased consumption of fruit and veg. (based on adults with T2DM). Yet to perform RCT in children with T2DM, however shown to benefit metab profile in children without.
60
The effect of exercise alone or with diet Mcgavock et al 2007
Enhance insulin sensitiveity Reduced SBP Lower Tc, raise HDLC Improve endothelial function
61
The effect of dietary restriction alone Mcgavock et al 2007
Reduce BP Improve lipoprotein profile v
62
How long is CV profile maintained after cessation of exercise? Mcgavock et al 2007
CV profile lost within 3-6months of cessation of trianing
63
Anecdotal predictor of success in T2DM treatment? Mcgavock et al 2007
Anecdotally: family-based acceptance of and adherence to lifestyle change is the most powerful predictor of sucess of strategies.
64
Dose of exercise needed for T2DM treatment/ prevention? Mcgavock et al 2007
Dose of exercise yet to be clearly defined: Review point to 40-60mins of MVPA 3-5times per week (support guidelines) RCT evidence of 150activity weekly - the LOOK Ahead trial in overwight adolescents with T2DM - reduction in body mass and almost all markers Looked at long term effectiveness Including albmin:creatine ratio More cohort and RCTs needed
65
Conclusion Mcgavock et al 2007
Premature onset hyperglycaemia predicts increased risk of hard clinical endpoints Need aggressive strategies to achieve adequate cardioprotection for youth as T2Dm assoc with end-stage renal disease and CVD mortalitity Clinical target should include: Minimum 60-90mins of PA of MVPA daily <60mins screen time Achievement of weight loss of 7-10% for prevention and management of T2DM in youth
66
Define sport
Hard to define sport e.g. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively Sport based on number doing it? Or overall governing body or IOC or competition or pay?
67
Potential positives and negatives of sports participation?
Lots of benefits, not just PA Makes up a large portion of children and adolescent's MVPA Benefits to energy expenditure Lots of psychosocial factors e.g. Assertive, self esteem, team work. Bad Are high levels of training harmful to a growing child? Burnout Could structured/speciallised sport cause premature drop out? Psychosocial reasons?
68
When are most children recruited to sports clubs?
<7 years old
69
Association between age of recruitment to sports club and PA
earlier the more PA
70
Can elite sports participation be negative for the growing child?
Only socialise with people in that sport If drop out may be hard Negative psychosocial impacts
71
Can sports stunt growth?
No strong evidence that stature is stuned by female participation in gymnastics Maybe self-selected - often shorter and have an appropriate weight-for-height Secedonary sex characteristics, skeletal age and age at PHV indicate later maturation but overlap with gen pop
72
How does maturity timing impact sports participation
Talent ID and athlete selection Self selection and drop out The design of training and conditioning programmes and the potential for injury (late maturer?) Grouping of athletes for competition and practice Depends on skill/ sport Maturity and growth characteristic explained 41% of Vertical Jump Performance Advantage in early matureres Maturity much less in shooting accuracy 40m sprint time 50%
73
How may preferential selection based on talent impact talent ID
Are we missing out on potential sports talent as we are selecting people based on ability now... E.g. Some may be physically and mentally more advanced, doesn't mean they will be better later Talent selection should occur not talent IDNot about success of youth team now Talent ID should involve training large numbers of players instead of cutting all but the 'elite' ones May mature later to be of equal physical size
74
Describe the relative age effect
More exponsure to sport and confidence (not necessarily bio maturity) if born ealier in the year relative to children in the same age category Earlier birth dates selected often in non professions Levels out at pro level - suggest maturity status not as important Distribution gets more even over time May depend on position Goal keeper and defende earlier better? Influence self selection and talent selection in womens soccer in Switzerland Unlike male soccer, no RAEs in elite women's teams Ealier does not equal more mature
75
Solutions to selection prblems
More skill/ reduce contact e.g. Touch rugby Elimination fast tracking? Bio-banding - Selection on size may lead to you reling on those characteristics and not necessarily skill, neglect technical development - Bio-banding group by % of adult height (at the moment done by height) - England Premier League Growth Study Scientify Advisory Group Use motor skills tests to monitor progress not select
76
How do we grow participation in sport? kind of answer
Not loads of data Fairly stable levels in 16-25 Around half of 16-25 year olds Over last 25 years not much change in core sports Because??: Sport reaches those who are already engaged Competition with other interests - passive participation in children is discontinued
77

85
Merkel 2013 future prospects COACHES
Emphasise fun De-emphasise winning Positive praise of team and individuals greater emphasis on PA than skill mastery Obtain education on youth athlete coaching Provide age appropriate instruction Gain knowledege of sport and rules Gain knowledge of strength, conditioning, nutrition and safety INjury recognition/ first aid training
86
Merkel 2013 why intervene in youth sport?
High rates of attrition and negative effects | Estabolish a balance between fitness, physcological well-being, healthy lifestyle and make enjoyable.
87
Describe the different categories of sports
Endurance, strength, Power, team, weight category, winter sports
88
Requirements for endurance athletes - main concerns
``` Prolonged moderate/high intensity exercise High energy requirement Main concerns Fuel during exercise Firstly amount Secondly type Then fluid requirement during/post Then post exercise recovery Carb Protein ```
89
Causes of fatigue in endurance athletes how how nutrition can affect this
Substrate depletion - glycogen/ substrate utilisation Loss of body fluid Hyperthermia - nutrition can even affect this Caffeine can increase temp?! Ice slurries can decrease Beetroot (nitrate) supp, increases core temp (as well as performance)
90
Saris et al 1989 aim
to quantify the dietary intakes and to find out whether this intake met requirements during the tour de france
91
Saris et al 1989 method
Calculated nutritional intake from daily food records EE was estimated from sleeping time and the lower activity period EE during cycling was predicted based on the race, detailed info about length, altitude difference, road paving etc..
92
Saris et al 1989 key findings
PRO:CHO:FAT was 15,62,23% 49% of intake during the race- 94g/hr 30% from CHO-rich liquids High vitamin supplementation Daily water 6.7l up to 11.8l Large quantities of CHO-rich liquid seems to be appropriate to maintain energy and fluid balance under extreme conditions Extreme variation in intake and expenditure
93
Physiology behind carb supp
``` Particularly important for events >60mins Peripheral effects Glycogen sparing? Maintainence of blood gluccose Maintainence of CHO oxidation Central effects ? Motivation? ```
94
Jentjens et al 2003 aims
To examine the effects of ingesting differing amounts of glucose pre-exercise on the glucose and insulin response during exercise and on time-trial (TT) performance
95
Jentjens et al 2003 methods
``` 4 exercise trails separated by 3 days 500ml of drink 45 mins beofr 1) Plac 2) 25g (low_ 3) 75g (med) 4) 200g (high) glucose 20min of submax steady state exercise at 65% of max PO followed by a 691kj TT approx 40minute Blood samples via a catheter every 5 mins ```
96
Jentjens et al 2003 key findings
Plasma glucose fell rapidly during SS exercise in all glucose trials, steady in placebo No difference in plasma glucose conc between glucose trails at any time Hypoglycaemia seen in some individuals with glucose No difference in performance - carb intake a rebound hypoglycaemia did not affect performance
97
What matters with carb ingestion? other factors?
CHO Content Usually 6-8% Lower conc. can improve performance Higher conc. may delay fluid availability CHO Type Glucose, Fructose, Galactose, Maltodextrin Electrolytes Na stimulates CHO and water absorption Maintains extracellular volume Osmolality Influences fluid absorption rate Temperature Ingestion of cool fluids may be beneficial Flavourings Important factor influencing fluid consumption Other ingredients(?) Caffeine, taurine, BCAA et
98
Carter et al aim 2004 aim
To investigate the possible role of CHO receptors in the mouth in influencing exercise performance
99
Carter et al aim 2004 methods
Crossover endurance cyclists complete two performance trials Once with CHO mouth rinsing regularly - 12.5% Once with placebo rinsing No allowed to swallow
100
Carter et al aim 2004 key findings
Performance time significantly improved with CHO No difference in HR or RPE Appears to increase central drive or motivation 2.9% decrease
101
Cox et al aim 2010
to determine whether altering daily carbohydrate intake during daily training affects metabolic adaptations to endurance exercise and substrate utilization during performance
102
Cox et al methods 2010
Two groups - parallel however within each there was a crossover with during exercise feeding 28 days training High carb vs energy matched low carb group 5day test block before and after- 100min of Steady state cycling followed by a time trial repeated twice after 72h Counterbalanced design once with water and once with 10% glucose solution Accumulated ingested glucose oxidation (consumed in exercise with tracer), how much can they use Biopsies before and after each training period Blood samples at regular intervals throughout via a cannuler
103
Cox et al aim 2010 key findings
High had more max citrate synthase activity Increased oxidation of glucose consumed during submax exercise No effect on performance No increase in GLUT 4 (found at muscle), gut trainability? Suggests increases elswhere i.e. the gut may be responsible
104
Common challenges to enegy balance
Injury/ retire Vast amount of calories required by those with vast training schedules Need to match energy balance to intake
105
Other less obvious responsibilities of a sports nutritionist
Promote adequate hydration- a lot of drinks not salty enough (should be 50mmol Na) Optimise health - EE and UTRI Adivce on use of supps Competition eating strategies - avoid GI probs
106
Main concerns regarding resistnac exercise and maximal strength exercise
``` Energy balance Much higher mass and absolute energy requirement Timing and amount of protein How much? 20-25g sufficient for most Source of protein important Foods? Timing Sooner = more feedling opportunities ```
107
Factors to consider with a PA intervention
``` Behaviour/ Problem - what and why Who - pop of interest Setting Mediators (mechanisms of change) Strategies for behaviour change (how) Potential barriers/ motivators ```
108
What is physically active learning. Describe different forms
PAL - physically active learning Continuum Physically active break one end (2-3 minute intejection, break for movement's sake) Another spectrum - active break with an education component. =PAL
109
What are activity breaks
Breaks from long bouts of sitting Focus on movement, or movement +content Performed in limited space during natural transition 2-15 minutes in duration
110
What are physically active lessons
Longer duration Integration of movement into teaching of academic content Across the curriculum
111
Link between PAL and academic performance?
Growing evidence link between PAL an academic achievement | No neg effect..
112
Additional benefits of the longer term study
Postive effects on Pupil's enjoyment Pupil's attention to task - not just novelty
113
References to PAL from the childhood obesity plan for action
Recommend an active lesson | Schools tasked with 30mins PA at school a day

Give Ash's current evidence summary on what PA lessons and breaks do and do not do
PA lessons do not Reduce overall daily PA Reduce overall dailey ST Physically active lesson may Increase PA in classroom Decrease ST in classroom Increase attention to tasks (often after) Increase academic achievement in some subjects (only in certain subjects, may be confounded e.g. fitness) (may be least active?) Increase pupil's enjoyment of learning Physically active breaks can lead to increased PA in the classroom
115
Limitations of evidence base regarding PAL
``` Short duration Lack of long follow-up What happens after? Small sample size Few studies based on behavioural theory More chance of success Few use inclinometers Lack of assessment on out of school PA/ST Lack of generalisability from USA + Australia - particularly in schools as different even regionally Lack of implementation data What drive? Why? ```

Describe the behaviour change wheel
Lots of models, which do you chose? e.g. theory of palnned behaviour… etc. Need an unbiased coherent way of summarising this The behaviour change wheel Centre = 3 forces that shape behaviour: capability, motivation and opportunity Outside - the techniques available to modify those forces 9 intervention functions and 7 policy categories
117
Aim of the behaviour change wheel
A systematic way of identifying relevant intervention functions and policy categories (sit outside) based on what is understood about the target behaviour
118
Describe the COM B model
Based off the behaviour change wheel | Capability and opportunity affect motivation, all 3 affect behaviour
119
Describe capability and subsets of
an individual's psychological and physical capacity to engage in the activity concerned Physical - Any set of physical actions that requires an ability or proficiency learned through practice e.g. motor skill, fitness level Psychological -
120
Describe opportunity and subsets of
Any mental process or skill that is required for the person to perform the behaviour More about skills e.g. knowledge (rule of road in cycling, the improtance of PA, rules of the sport), Self-monitoring
121
Describe motivation and subset of
The sum total of internal influences that energise and directs behaviour: a moment-by-moment property which is shaped by different systems of influence: physiological, impulses and inhibitions, motives, beliefs and identity relfection - People's values and beliefs about what is important (good and bad), conscious intentions, decisions and plans Autonomic - Emotional responses, desires and habits resulting from associative learning and physiological stress e.g. make somehing fun/ rewarding
122
What is the BCT taxonomy
All behaviour change interventions have been categorised in a taxonomy (hundreds) Called: BCT - taxonomy Allows consistency within literture
123
Aim Coombes and Jones 2016
To quantitatively evaluate the impact of Beat the Street on levels of active travel using objective measures of change in physical activity recorded by accelerometry.
124
Intervention Design Coombes and Jones 2016
Encourages people to walk and cycle around their local environment. Walk tracking tecnology linked to a reward scheme (books for school, prize draw) Residents get a smartcard which they touch to 'Beat Boxes' -sensors on lampposts. Community wide intervention (study focused on just one school) Restricted to 3 neighbourhoods in Norwich 40 beat boxes One point per sensor allowing competition Target set to go 'around the world
125
Method Coombes and Jones 2016
9weeks Pilot non-randomised controled evaluation Children recruited from two schools (one control) 3 measurement periods, baseline, mid-intervention (7 weeks) and post intervention (20 weeks) Wore accelerometer for 7 days, 10second epoch Simple travel diary completed (validated) Evaluated the number of times that each of participant touched a Beat Box with smart card PA measured using CPM and MVPA
126
Key findings xCoombes and Jones 2016
Beat the Street did not significantly impact childrens overall PA during school commute times Evidence it had a positive impact on higher intensity PA during commute Higher levels of engement in intervention were associated with additional MVPA during communting times at 20 weeks follow up (21% increase to post intervention on average). This occurred for those children who engaged on the mean number of days compared to children with no engagement. children at the intervention school were less active during the evening compared to the controls post-intervention (compensate) Active travel increased by 10% to post intervention and decreased by 10% in control (not sig) Shows more likely to maintain active travel or switch to active travel Relatively low engagement Dose response, more engagement = sig increase in MVPA
127
Limitations Coombes and Jones 2016
Possible some contamination from intervention school to control school dispite 7.5km distance away Only 2 schools so could not control for school level effects Activities at one/ both may have been atypical in the period of evaluation (no teacher reports of this) Commercial nature meant no control over its delivery Few schools/ children (due to limited time) Disproportionate boys and girls from each school Wet month, may be more effective in dry conditions? 9 weeks may not be long enough Underpowered to detect intervention effect Geographically restricted to 3 neighbourhoods Accelerometer may fail to detect changes in cycling behaviour Got motivation and opportunity but not knowledge and skills (capacity)
128
What are the 7 best investments?
1) Whole-of-school programme Whole school Work best if a number of structures or components e.g. parents Recess playground with extra curricular with component with parents 2) Transport policies and systems that prioritise walking, cycling and public transport E.g. Exclusion zones around schools 3) Urban design regulations and infrastructure that provide for equitable and safe access to recreational PA, and recreational and transport-related walking and cycling across the lifespan 4) PA and NCD prevention integrated into primary health care systems 5) Public education, including mass media, to raise awareness and change social norms on PA 6) Community wide programs involvin multile settings and sectors and that mobilize and integrate community engagement and resources Sport systems and programmes that promote 'sport for all' and encourage participation across the lifespan
129
Aims of Transform-US
Determine whether a Behaviour and environmental intervention in 8-9yr , 18 month period results in higher PA and lower SB Determine Idependnent and combined effects of PA and SB on children's cardiometabolic health Discover factors which mediate change Determine if the intervention is cost-effectiveness
130
Describe the transform-US program
``` The programme: Over 200 students, 20 schools, Melbourne (Theoretical basis on the social cognitive theory, identified constructsand targetted them to change) 3 arms/ groups - each with school and family setting components Sb-I 18 key learning message Goal setting etc Daily Standing lessons Easels and desks Active breaks after 30min class time Novely timer Family stuff e.g. Reduce sitting time doing home work PA-I 18 learning messages Provision of sporting equipement, line markings, signage Provision of pedometers Family stuff e.g. Homework with PA SA+PA+I All ```
131
Evaluation of Transform-US how
``` Accellerometers and inclinometers Questionnaire for parents e.g. mediators, self-efficacy and access to school Activity diary Cost Classroom resources cheap Upskilling teachers very expensive Why How to manage children walking around Lesson plans Overall Estimate of time burden Time to preoare Parents Spending extra time on homework Cost to schools and research team Implications for wider research ```
132
Mid intervention results of Tansform US (why some of results too)
13.3 min less SED for combined groups SB had higher enjoyment of standing PA+SB and PA groups more positive perceptions of standing opportunities No mediating effects were observed Don’t really know why Self-reported mediators measurement quality? Failure to capture the relevant mechanisms that explain the association between I and PA/SB Time lag between change in mediators and change in behaviour
133
After 2.5 years results of Transform US
Increased PA by 33 minutes per week Reduced sitting time by 196minutes per week $30.08 per child per year.
134
Describe NYC Active Design Guidelines (ADG)
``` Lots of agencies, lots of sectors coming together (For developers, planners, government agencies, policy makers) Evidence based strategies Active desing guidelines Look good Improve health Promote safety ```
135
Basic concepts/ targets of ADG
``` Active transport Active recreation Active buildings Healthy eating Lots of others…. E.g. Transit and parking, open spaces,children's play areas, street connectivity, ```
136
Evaluation of ADG methods (not specific method)
Of >500 proffessionals - surveys Cross sectional not pre and post but collected before and after (not neccessarily the same) Baseline audits of 32 NYC Dept of Construction building projects Case studies of 4 DoC projects
137
Survey of ADG method
Architect survey pre and post ADG release as a web survey Assessed potential change in 4 domains Confidence to implemetn Knowledge of evidence linking environemt and health Implemetation of ADG strategies Perceptions of clinents' attitudes towards active designs 20% response rate Male and white Fairly old and long time in game
138
Findings from ADG survey
Small increase in knowledge Small increase in confidence 9% increase in self-report practice Only a minority aquire knowledge from research journals Most interested un energy efficiency and universal accessibility thereofre addressing these issues is likely helpful
139
Limitations of ADG survey
Low Respnse rate 20% Anonymous surveys, therefore samples were 2 cross sectional samples rather than longitudinal Short time frame between release of ADGs and post survey - may not have been enough time to show more or larger impacts (5months post)
140
Describe an intervention based on the 4th best intestment
``` Questinonnaire Intervetion for healthy child 22-59 months Gives self administer screening tool FLAIR Fx Playing outside Television Nutrition Physician Assess readiness to change Agree behavioural change goals ```
141
Results of the FLAIR project
Parents expressed a desire to change behaviours to achieve healthier families Believed that doctors should increase their focus on healthy habits during visits Parents were more accepting of nutrition discussions than increasing activity (lack of safe outdoor space) or decreasing SB (benefits of TV) Parents expressed fustration with physicicans for offering advice about changing behaviour but not how to achieve it
142
What is social marketing, benefits and requirements? diffiiculties?
Application of commercial marketing technologies to the analysis, planning, exection and evaluation of programs designed to influence the voluntary behaviour of target audiences in order to improve their personal welfare Benefots Translating complex educational messages and behaviour change techniques into concepts and products Seen by many - 3000 a day Requires Change the product to meet consumer preferences Public health professionals must change their recommendations to receieve maximal benefit Application of commercial marketing principles Palatable Hard for marketing companies and scientists to distill ideas
143
Describe the C4L campaign
Advertising Sponsership of The Simpsons Direct and relationship marketing Digital communications e.g. Website and emails Public relations Partnership marketing Communications aimed at stakeholders e.g. Health adn teachers
144
Evaluation of C4L after 1year (done by themselve)
The document did not mention Food, nutrition, PA enough SB/ TV viewing not mentioned Target setting reached 8 change for life goals Based on reach, awareness, response, sign ups, sistained interest Commercial evidence of families changing habits, adopting all '8' behaviours Sales data suggests positive impact on types of food families are purchasing
145
C4L independent evaluation describe methods
Parents from 20 primary schools randomly assigned to control or IV Mailed C4L materials to IV, retured feedback Thousands of families
146
C4L independent evaluation concs and other criticisms
No impact on TV hours, rating of PA importance Conc Increased awareness Little impact on attitudes or behaviour Low engagement a key issue Simplification of complex scientific methods No mention of obesity
147
