Abstract:
Background Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for chronic disease. Primary health care practitioners are well placed to promote a physically active lifestyle. The perceptions and practice of physical therapists on their role in physical activity promotion are not well known. Objective The objective of this study was to determine the knowledge, confidence, role perception, barriers, feasibility, and counseling practice of physical therapists and physical therapist students regarding the promotion of nontreatment physical activity for better health. Design A cross-sectional survey was conducted. Methods In 2008, 321 (54%) of a random sample of all physical therapists registered in New South Wales, Australia, responded to a survey on their knowledge, confidence, role perception, barriers, feasibility, and counseling practice with regard to promoting a physically active lifestyles to their patients. Physical therapist students (n=279) completed the same survey but without the questions on barriers and counseling practice. Results Physical therapists and physical therapist students consider that it is part of their role to give their patients nontreatment physical activity advice. Overall, they reported having adequate knowledge and skills to undertake this role. Incorporating advice into normal consultations is deemed the most feasible form of lifestyle physical activity promotion in physical therapist practice. Limitations The cross-sectional nature of this study makes it difficult to determine cause and effect relationships. Some selection bias may have occurred, as the physical therapists who completed the questionnaires may have been those most interested in physical activity promotion. Conclusions Physical therapist practice appears to be an excellent avenue for promoting a physically active lifestyle and could potentially play an important public health role.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report and critically reflect on the methodological processes involved in a formal attempt to promote health and social integration in the rarely reported public health domain of physical activity promotion. Design/methodology/approach A quality improvement (QI) methodology was deployed, comprising three elements: a diagnostic tool that assessed strategic and practice positions; a half-day workshop that brought senior leaders together for to reflect this evidence; and a structured process that sought to generate proposals for future integrated action. A mixed-method evaluative approach was used, capturing insights of the integration processes via quantitative and qualitative data collection pre-event, in-event, immediate post-event and at six-month follow-up. Findings Insights suggested that despite some critical concerns, this QI process can be considered as robust, offering pointers to elements required to successfully promote integration in this domain, including the significance of leadership, the preparatory contribution of a diagnostic tool and position paper, the opportunities for active exchange and planning within a workshop situation and the initiation of a process of integrated work via tangible “pledges”. Originality/value The paper offers originality in two respects. Generally, it describes and reflects on the relationship between theoretical and empirical dimensions of a model of integration promotion. Specifically, in offering an account of integrative public health work across health service, local authority and third sector partners, it addressed an area that has received relatively limited prior attention.

Abstract:
Considering the population aging and the failure of biologistic and hospital-based treatment model, health promotion programs based on scientific evidence are necessary. A comprehensive review of literature was performed, aiming to identify and analyze health promotion and education experiments focused on the aging process. Papers published in eight databases, together with the database of the Pan-American Health Organization, were selected based on review of titles and abstracts, followed by a full text review conducted by two independent reviewers. A total of 22 studies were included, the majority of which adopted a quantitative approach, with a sample larger than 100 elderly or pre-retirement individuals. The majority of studies reported positive results in terms of health promotion and education. One study obtained minimum improvement and one reported that no statistically significant improvement had occurred. The positive effects most indicated by authors were: general or self-perceived improvement in physical health, improvement in psychosocial aspects and in relation to the aging process, improvement in adherence to preventative actions and in healthy conduct and lifestyle, increase in level of physical activity, improvement in quality of life and/or physical well-being, and improvement in activities of daily living or reduction of the risk of developing disabilities.

Abstract:
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between physical activity and other determinants of cardiovascular health in aging women from a health-promotion perspective. Participants (N= 206) completed a cardiovascular health-promotion profile, and various physical measures were recorded. The findings suggest that physically active aging women, especially those who exercise regularly or vigorously, have healthier cardiovascular profiles than do their less active counterparts. They were more likely to be members of a health and fitness facility, to be younger, and have higher socioeconomic status. Their diets were healthier, and their perception of their health status was more positive. Physical measures of cardiovascular health also decreased with increased levels of activity (p< .05). These findings validate physical activity promotion as an effective strategy to ameliorate the cardiovascular health profile of aging women. The study also lends support for population-based cardiovascular health-promotion strategies.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to examine the structural relationship between multidimensional experience avoidance and health promotion behaviors of physically handicapped people. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, data were collected from 170 persons with physical disabilities living in five regions of Seoul, Gyeonggi, Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Gyeongsang. For the collected data, frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation model analysis were performed using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0 programs. the results are as follow. First, pain tolerance, a sub-factor of experience avoidance, was found to have a positive (+) effect on interpersonal relationships and physical activity, which are sub-factors of health promoting behavior. Second, pain aversion, a sub-factor of experience avoidance, was found to have a negative (-) effect on interpersonal relationships and physical activity, which are sub-factors of health promotion behavior. Third, suppression and denial, which are sub-factors of experience avoidance, were found to have a positive (+) effect on health management and physical activity, which are sub-factors of health promotion behavior. Fourth, distraction and inhibition, which are sub-factors of experience avoidance, were found to have a positive (+) effect on health management, interpersonal relationships, and physical activity, which are sub-factors of health promotion behavior. Fifth, delayed behavior, a sub-factor of experience avoidance, was found to have a negative (-) effect on physical activity, a sub-factor of health promoting behavior. Sixth, it was found that avoidance behavior, a sub-factor of experience avoidance, did not affect all sub-factors of health promotion behavior.

Abstract:
There are large disparities in physical health within psychiatric population. These disparities are made greater by the poor health behaviors of the psychiatric population in general. Change in health behaviors is aided by social support, a resource common within consumer run organizations (CROs). This study both investigated the health of people with psychiatric disabilities in Kansas and examined CROs to determine their organizational and setting level support for physical activity and eating a healthy diet. Collection of data was primarily through semi-structured interviews. Interviews were conducted with two samples, attendees of the 2008 Recovery Conference, and members and staff of 16 CROs in Kansas. Consistent with previous literature, the participants in this study were found to be in much poorer health than the general population. The dietary behaviors of participants included high consumption of foods with low nutritional value and low consumption of foods high in nutritional value. In general, the organization and setting characteristics of CROs provided little support for either healthy eating a healthy diet or physical activity. Discussion focused on the potential for CROs to enhance healthy eating and physical activity through setting changes.

Abstract:
Objectives: This study specifically focused on health promotion and physical activity in midlife women. Health promotion in midlife women was examined to determine if exercise could improve the menopausal symptoms and health status in midlife women and if a multi-modal intervention might improve the level of activity in midlife women. The objectives of the study included 1) To identify the relationship between physical activity, menopausal symptoms and health status in midlife women, and 2) To determine the effect of a multi-modal intervention on increasing levels of exercise in midlife women. Methods: The study was conducted in two phases. The first phase included a secondary data analysis of 886 women who took part in the Queensland Midlife Women Health Survey (QMWHS) aged 45-60 years, who were randomly selected from South-East Queensland. In the second phase a randomised, controlled study was conducted on a subset of women who participated in the QMWHS. Women who were allocated to the intervention group (n=47) received an intervention, which combined a multi-modal program of physical activity with health education. Women in the control group continued their normal physical activities (n=66). Results: Findings of this study indicated that increasing exercise was associated with lower psychological and somatic symptoms in midlife women. The study found that exercise was associated with decreasing menopausal symptoms. In the area of health status, significant differences were found between exercise and mental health, vitality, general health and physical function. This study revealed that a multi modal intervention could increase the level of activity in midlife women. There were significant differences in monthly exercise and vigorous activity between the intervention and control groups 3 months after the intervention. Women stated that they felt physical and mentally better and the program motivated them into being more active. They mentioned that the program was easy to understand and follow and the concept of the program was well organized and useful for them. Conclusion: This study showed that exercise might provide a wider health effect on midlife women's health by decreasing menopausal symptoms and improving health status. Exercise counselling is an essential component of healthcare, especially among middle-aged women who are experiencing physical, emotional, and social changes. Health professionals and nurses are in a good position to assist midlife women through providing information about the health effect of exercise. Physical activity should be encouraged for the prevention and reduction of risks for chronic disease and the improvement of health in midlife women. The multi-modal program was effective in increasing levels of activity in midlife women. This is an important finding as exercise is difficult health behaviour to change. Study implications suggest that this type of intervention may provide an effective, clinically manageable therapy for women who choose a self-directed approach to increase their level of activity. This program may offer implications for designing and implementing exercise interventions in further studies.

Abstract:
The present thesis focuses on an important issue in the psychology of health promotion, whether `message framing' is an effective method of persuading people to adopt behaviours beneficial to their physical health. The first study (chapter 2) was a metaanalysis including forty-seven published experiments that investigated differences in persuasiveness between gain and loss messages promoting detection or prevention behaviours (N=27,796 participants). Results showed that the gain-loss difference was small but statistically significant across motivational, psychosocial and affective variables as well as on behavioural outcome. The absolute effect size corresponding to the gain-loss difference was d =. 13 for behaviour, d =. 14 for overall attitudes and d =. 15 for intention. The difference between the two framing types was moderate as far as concerns people's immediate thoughts (d =. 41). Overall, there was stronger support for gain frame advantage in relation to behavioural outcome, outcome efficacy and thoughts for the promotion of prevention behaviours, and some support for loss frame advantage with regard to overall attitudes and perceived risk for the promotion of detection behaviours. Important moderators of the gain-loss difference that emerged from the meta-analysis were perceived risk, regulatory focus of the message (message content) and type of behavioural goal (detection/prevention of disease). In study 2 (chapter 3) and study 3 (chapter 4) there was some support for the moderating role of type of behavioural outcomes embedded within loss or gain messages. Promotion of detection behaviours, such as Type 2 diabetes blood testing maybe enhanced via loss messages with health outcomes, while sex-related prevention behaviours, condom use may be best promoted using gain messages referring to health outcomes. Study 4 (chapter 5) assessed another type of message framing, `temporal framing' incorporated within gain messages promoting sunscreen use. It was shown that by matching the temporal frame of the message with the CFC motivational orientation of the message recipient (Strathman et al., 1994), persuasion is maximised.

Abstract:

Physical inactivity has become a global health concern and is among the 10 leading causes of death and disability. This has led to increased concern for chronic diseases of lifestyle (CDL). 
Studies have revealed that regular physical activity is effective in combating several CDL such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, hypertension and obesity. Physiotherapists are in a 
position to combat inactivity and effectively promote physical activity to their clients. Studies however have shown that participation in physical activity among physiotherapists could have an 
impact on the promotion of physical activity and their health practices. This study therefore sought to establish the relationship between physical activity levels of physiotherapists and their 
physical 
activity promotion strategies and barriers to promoting physical activity. Sequential Mixed Method Design was used in this study. Data was collected by means of a self administered 
questionnaire and a total of 92 physiotherapists voluntarily answered the questionnaire. A focus group discussion comprising of 10 purposively selected physiotherapists was conducted. The 
questionnaire assessed physical activity levels 
and physical activity promoting strategies of the participants while the focus groupdiscussion looked at the barriers to promoting physical 
activity. The Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 18 was used for data capturing and analysis. Descriptive statistics were employed to summarize demographic information 
as means, standard deviation, frequencies and percentages. Inferential statistics (chi-square) was used to test the associations between different categorical variables (p<
0.05). For the qualitative data, focus group discussions were used to collect data. Tape recorded interviews were transcribed verbatim, field notes typed, sorting and arranging data was done and themes 
 
were generated. Thematic analysis was then done under the generated themes. Ethical issues pertaining to informed consent, anonymity, confidentiality and the right to withdraw from the 
study were respected in this current study. The findings in the current study revealed that a big number of the participants were physical active both at work and recreation domains. However, 
there was no statistically significant association between physical activity and the demographicvariables. The results in this study revealed that the majority of participants were good 
physical activity promoting practices, although there was no significant association between physical activity levels and the physical activity promoting practices. The finding in this study revealed that discussing physical 
activity and giving out information regarding physical activity to their clients were the most common methods used in promoting physical activity. However, participants also highlighted barriers they 
ace in promotion of physical activity such as policies on physical activity, cultural influence, nature of work, time management as well as environmental barriers. The study demonstrates the 
need for all stakeholders to come up with solutions to break the barriers to promotion of physical activity. In return it will bring about enormous health 
benefits to the general population.

Full text
Abstract:
With a post-structural approach and an analytical focus on processes of governmentality and biopower, this study is concerned with how discourses of health are contextualized in educational practice and interaction between educators and participants in workplace health promotion (WHP) interventions. Of concern are issues of the discursive production, regulation and representation of power, knowledge and subjects as gendered beings in workplace health promotion interventions. The methods for generating data are participant observation, interviews and gathering of documentation pertaining to four different workplace health promotion nterventions. Based on these data, the thesis offers an analysis of the health discourses drawn on in the interventions and the technologies of power and of the self by which the participants are governed and invited to govern themselves in the name of health. It also asks what practices and positions that thus come to be made available or not to the participants. Two health discourses are identified: the biomedical discourse and the wellness discourse. Both discourses are drawn on in all four studied interventions, the biomedical discourse being the dominating discourse drawn on. The biomedical discourse is informed by scientific ‘facts’ and statistics and is underpinned by a notion of risk. The wellness discourse is informed by an understanding of health as a subjective embodied experience and is underpinned by a notion of pleasure. Drawing on these discourses, the responsibility for health is placed with the participants and the healthy participant/employee is constituted as a rationally motivated risk-avoider and disciplined pleasure seeker who is both willing and able to actively make ‘good’ choices regarding their lifestyle. Furthermore, and informed by essentialist and heteronormative ideas about gender, the ideal healthy person is modelled on a male norm, representing women as the deviant Other.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore the psychological impact of a health promotion program on fourth and fifth grade students. Other research has demonstrated that this same program was associated with physiological improvements in elementary children, and this investigation explored whether students experienced positive changes in attitude and awareness which may suggest that improved behaviors will be sustained over time.;Two schools in rural Virginia were sites for this study. In each school one fourth grade and one fifth grade class was randomly assigned to the treatment program, and one fourth and one fifth grade class were control groups. The American Heart Association's Heart Power program, a 16-lesson curriculum, was substituted for the standard health curriculum for four weeks, and presented by the classroom teachers. Measures of weight concerns, dietary self-efficacy, exercise awareness, body-concept and self-concept were given before and after the treatment, and then again three weeks later.;It was hypothesized that students participating in the Heart Power program would experience improvements in (1) awareness of the importance of exercise to health, (2) belief that they could make healthy food choices, (3) self-esteem and body-concept, and (4) a decrease in weight concerns.;The results were statistically significant for three of the five measures: exercise awareness, dietary self-efficacy and body-concept. There were not statistically significant differences in measured weight concerns and overall self-concept. Further research is needed to confirm the apparent effectiveness of this program in promoting positive changes in children and to determine which aspects of the program are most effective.

Abstract:
Regular physical activity is a natural tool in weight control. Appropriate indicators for conclusive evidence of somatic condition are individual body components. Our research objective was to analyse selected body composition fractions in relation to meeting recommended physical activity in young adult females. 258 women participated in our study; women were divided into two groups according to the physical activity level achieved, either meeting or not meeting the recommended physical activity level in terms of intensity (moderate physical activity, 3 to 5.99 MET) and level (≥ 150 min/week). To determine the physical activity parameters, namely the level and intensity within one week and average daily number of steps, ActiGraph GT1M Accelerometer was used. Direct Multi-frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Method (DSM-BIA Method) using InBody 720 Body Composition Analyser was used to determine body composition parameters. The differences between the groups according to the physical activity level reached were statistically insignificant for the selected body composition fractions we investigated. Lower relative risk of damage to health as measured by the somatic indices (body mass index: BMI, body fat mass index: BFMI) was observed in women carrying out moderate physical activity level (MPA, 3 to 5.99 MET), i.e. 150 to 300 minutes. In the assessment of habitual recommended physical activity level, the women were classified either as active or women with typical daily activities. Research study verified positive relationship between meeting the recommended physical activity level and its impact on health risk indicators, namely lowering body fat mass index (BFMI), lowering body fat (BFP, BFM) and smaller visceral fat area (VFA). Positive approach to the physical activity may lead to the decrease in number of health problems associated with excess weight and obesity in later age.

Abstract:
Background: Insufficient physical activity (PA) causes health problems globally. The information related to lack of physical activity among university students in Yogyakarta is still limited. Thus, it is important to monitor the pattern of physical activity as a part of health promotion efforts. This study aimed to provide information physical activity pattern among health science students in Yogyakarta. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out at Faculty of Health Science, X University, Yogyakarta. A total of 112 students was enrolled in this study. The variables in this study were student’s characteristic, sedentary behavior, and physical activity. The data was taken by using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) form, categorized as low activity (<600 METs), medium activity (600-3000 METs,) and high activity (>3000 METs). The data were analayzed descriptively. Results: Total of 61 students (54.4%) had low PA activity. Male were more active than female (Mean= 186.56; SD= 220.57) with METs and duration per minute per week were low (Mean= 49.51; SD= 298.90). There was a positive relationship between age, gender, and sedentary behavior, and they were statisticatlly significant. Conclusion: There is a positive relationship between age, gender, and sedentary behavior. In order to increase interest, institutions need to carry out socialization and increase the implementation of active campus programs that can be regulated in rules / regulations to be more active. In this way, a supportive environment for the control of non-communicable diseases and mental health is achieved.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The purpose of this systematic review is to examine studies that have assessed the effectiveness of health promotion programs with parental or family involvement for increasing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in school-aged children. Condition being studied: Research has shown that parental or family support is positively associated with overall physical activity in children and young people. However, little is known about the differential effect of involving parents and family members when implementing interventions for promoting physical activity in children and adolescents compared with strategies that only rely on actions focused on the individuals or school environments. Information sources: A search strategy for articles will be carried out in the following databases: Embase, Pubmed, SPORTDiscus, Scopus and CINAHL. Also, a search from gray literature (academic google, Open Gray) and references from the articles found in the first stage will be conducted.

Abstract:
Active transportation can play an important role in promoting more physically active and positive public health outcomes. While walking and biking provide significant physical health benefits, their modal share remains low. As a new form of micromobility service, shared e-scooters can enhance the suite of options available in cities to promote active transportation and fill in the gaps when walking or biking are not preferred. Although e-scooters show potential as a mode of transportation, it is unclear whether people will adopt the technology for everyday use. Furthermore, shared micromobility (e.g., electric scooters) is gaining attention as a complementary mode to public transit and is expected to offer a solution to access/egress for public transit. However, few studies have analyzed integrated usage of shared e-scooters and public transit systems while using panel data to measure spatial and temporal characteristics. This study aims to examine the adoption and frequency of shared e-scooter usage and provide policy implementation. To do so, the researchers launched a survey in the Chicago region in late 2020 and collected a rich data set that includes residents’ sociodemographic details and frequency of shared e-scooter use. To characterize the frequency, the researchers used an ordered probit structure. The findings show that respondents who are male, low income, Millennials and Generation Z, or do not have a vehicle are associated with a higher frequency of shared e-scooter use. Furthermore, this study utilizes shared e-scooter trips for a 35-day measurement period from 10 shared e-scooter operators in Chicago, where the researchers used a random-parameter negative binomial modeling approach to analyze panel effects. The findings highlight the critical role of spatial and temporal characteristics in the integration of shared e-scooters with transit.
