Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis was to better understand physical activity (PA) maintenance among patients who have completed cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Study 1: This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of 19 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) testing PA and exercise maintenance interventions for adults who have completed CR. Descriptive synthesis of the studies combined with meta-analysis results provided evidence of increased PA among intervention groups compared with control groups at follow-up. Results of the meta-analysis found a significant difference in PA in the intervention groups compared to the control groups, via multiple exercise outcomes including exercise sessions/week (SMD = 0.20; 95% CI, 0.04 - 0.35), kcal/week (SMD = 0.59; 95% CI, 0.19 - 0.98), and daily steps (SMD = 2.14; 95% CI, 0.90 - 3.38). There is evidence to support the effectiveness of interventions aimed at maintaining PA and exercise among adults who have completed CR. Study 2: This study was a synthesis of qualitative studies examining factors affecting PA maintenance among individuals who have completed CR. Eight studies met the criteria for inclusion. Multiple factors were identified among participants, including self-efficacy and motivation, social support, support with the transition from supervised hospital or centre-based exercise to exercise in the community or home, perceived safety of the exercise program, and availability and accessibility of PA resources and opportunities. Examining qualitative literature suggests factors at the intrapersonal-, interpersonal-, organizational- and neighbourhood-level are important in supporting exercise maintenance after completion of CR. Results from this synthesis identified key areas for tailored program design, grounded in a social ecological approach. Study 3: This study was a secondary analysis of trial data examining predictors of participants' moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) 26 weeks after enrollment in a RCT of a PA maintenance intervention. Participants completed baseline questionnaires assessing social ecological, demographic, clinical, fitness, and behavioural variables. MVPA was assessed by accelerometer at baseline and 26 weeks later. Univariate analyses revealed nine significant baseline predictors of MVPA at 26 weeks including beliefs about exercise benefits, beliefs about exercise barriers, baseline MVPA, peak oxygen consumption, diabetes, age, sex, marital status, and work status. Multivariate analysis indicated that baseline MVPA was the only independent predictor of MVPA at 26 weeks. Given the pre-eminence of baseline MVPA, the regression analyses were re-run without baseline MVPA in the model. In that case, peak oxygen consumption became the only independent predictor of MVPA at 26 weeks. Results have implications for targeting intervention for PA maintenance in the unsupervised phase. Conclusion: The findings of this thesis provided insights into the influences on long-term PA among cardiac patients post-CR and the strategies which can support long-term PA. While there have been positive developments in understanding PA maintenance, there are important knowledge gaps that remain unaddressed. These knowledge gaps include the measurement, monitoring, and surveillance of PA behaviour and ways in which intervention research could be improved. Further research will be required to address these knowledge gaps and to build on the growing knowledge of effective PA interventions to support people with heart disease.

This book was released on 2021-01-31 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because many patients reduce exercise following outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR), we developed an intervention to assist with the transition and evaluated its feasibility and preliminary efficacy using a one-group pretest–posttest design. Five CR patients were enrolled ~1 month prior to CR discharge and provided an activity tracker. Each week during CR they received a summary of their physical activity and steps. Following CR discharge, participants received an individualized report that included their physical activity and step history, information on specific features of the activity tracker, and encouraging messages from former CR patients for each of the next 6 weeks. Mixed model trajectory analyses were used to test the intervention effect separately for active minutes and steps modeling three study phases: pre-intervention (day activity tracking began to CR discharge), intervention (day following CR discharge to day when final report sent), and maintenance (day following the final report to ~1 month later). Activity tracking was successfully deployed and, with weekly reports following CR, may offset the usual decline in physical activity. When weekly reports ceased, a decline in steps/day occurred. A scaled-up intervention with a more rigorous study design with sufficient sample size can evaluate this approach further.

Download or read book Exercise and Diabetes written by Sheri R. Colberg and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical movement has a positive effect on physical fitness, morbidity, and mortality in individuals with diabetes. Although exercise has long been considered a cornerstone of diabetes management, many health care providers fail to prescribe it. In addition, many fitness professionals may be unaware of the complexities of including physical activity in the management of diabetes. Giving patients or clients a full exercise prescription that take other chronic conditions commonly accompanying diabetes into account may be too time-consuming for or beyond the expertise of many health care and fitness professionals. The purpose of this book is to cover the recommended types and quantities of physical activities that can and should be undertaken by all individuals with any type of diabetes, along with precautions related to medication use and diabetes-related health complications. Medications used to control diabetes should augment lifestyle improvements like increased daily physical activity rather than replace them. Up until now, professional books with exercise information and prescriptions were not timely or interactive enough to easily provide busy professionals with access to the latest recommendations for each unique patient. However, simply instructing patients to “exercise more” is frequently not motivating or informative enough to get them regularly or safely active. This book is changing all that with its up-to-date and easy-to-prescribe exercise and physical activity recommendations and relevant case studies. Read and learn to quickly prescribe effective and appropriate exercise to everyone.

Download or read book Physical Activity Epidemiology written by Rod K. Dishman and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2012-08-29 with total page 1407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical Activity Epidemiology, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive discussion of current population-level studies showing the influence of physical activity on disease. Updated with extensive new research collected in the eight years since the previous edition, the second edition adds the expertise of respected epidemiologist I-Min Lee. To assist readers in understanding the public health significance of physical activity, Dishman, Heath, and Lee present a detailed review of research findings and what those findings suggest regarding the relationship between physical activity and a variety of health risks. The second edition of this groundbreaking text has been exhaustively updated to reflect the wealth of new research published in this fast-moving field of study. With more than 100 pages of additional content, the text also offers more detailed coverage of all-cause and coronary heart disease mortality, expanded coverage of pathophysiology and biological plausibility, new information on physical activity among various racial–ethnic populations, and the effects of physical activity on cognitive function, dementia, and HIV/AIDS. More than 250 tables and figures, twice the number found in the previous edition, highlight the latest epidemiological information in an easy-to-understand visual format. Physical Activity Epidemiology, Second Edition, assists readers in understanding how leisure-time physical activity can enhance people’s quantity and quality of life by summarizing the available knowledge, detailing the methods used to obtain it, considering its implications for public health, and outlining the important questions that remain. Readers will find comprehensive discussion of these topics: • Evidence that physical activity protects against the development of coronary heart disease and stroke and premature death from all causes • Population-based studies and clinical experiments providing evidence that physical activity and exercise play a role in the primary and secondary prevention of mild hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity • Contemporary epidemiologic evidence that physical activity reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis and protects against the development of breast and colon cancers, some inflammatory diseases, depression, and anxiety disorders • Considerations in the promotion of a safe, physically active lifestyle among all segments of the population Physical Activity Epidemiology, Second Edition, will engage and challenge students by examining the state of current research in all of its variation and even ambiguity. The text details the methodology and findings of classic and contemporary studies and then helps students begin to analyze the results. Special Strength of the Evidence sections found at the end of most chapters summarize the findings to determine the extent to which correlation and causation can be proven. Chapter objectives, chapter summaries, and sidebars in each chapter assist students in focusing on the key points of study, and an extensive glossary with detailed definitions provides a handy reference for review. Instructors will find a new image bank in this edition to enhance their class lecture materials. Physical Activity Epidemiology, Second Edition, offers students, sport and exercise scientists, health and fitness professionals, and public health administrators a comprehensive presentation of significant studies, how these studies contribute to understanding the relationship between activity and disease prevention, and how this information can be used in leading individuals, communities, and global society toward increased health and longevity.
