A full effectiveness trial is now needed. Aims: To determine the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of Rugby Fans In Training-NZ (RUFIT-NZ) on weight loss, fitness, blood pressure, lifestyle change, and health related quality of life (HRQoL) at 12- and 52-weeks. Methods: We conducted a pragmatic, two-arm, multi-center, randomized controlled trial in NZ with 378 (target 308) overweight and obese men aged 30-65 years, randomized to an intervention group or wait-list control group. The 12-week RUFIT-NZ program was a gender-sensitised, healthy lifestyle intervention delivered through professional rugby clubs. Each intervention session included: i) a 1-h workshop-based education component focused on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, sedentary behavior, and learning evidence-based behavior change strategies for sustaining a healthier lifestyle; and 2) a 1-h group-based, but individually tailored, exercise training session. The control group were offered RUFIT-NZ after 52-weeks. The primary outcome was change in body weight from baseline to 52-weeks. Secondary outcomes included change in body weight at 12-weeks, waist circumference, blood pressure, fitness (cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal), lifestyle behaviors (leisure-time physical activity, sleep, smoking status, and alcohol and dietary quality), and health-related quality of life at 12- and 52-weeks. Results: Our final analysis included 200 participants (intervention n = 103; control n = 97) who were able to complete the RUFIT-NZ intervention prior to COVID-19 restrictions. At 52-weeks, the adjusted mean group difference in weight change (primary outcome) was -2.77 kg (95% CI -4.92 to -0.61), which favored the intervention group. The intervention also resulted in favorable significant differences in weight change and fruit and vegetable consumption at 12-weeks; and waist circumference, fitness outcomes, physical activity levels, and health-related quality of life at both 12 and 52 weeks. No significant intervention effects were observed for blood pressure, or sleep. Incremental cost-effective ratios estimated were $259 per kg lost, or $40,269 per quality adjusted life year (QALY) gained. Conclusion: RUFIT-NZ resulted in sustained positive changes in weight, waist circumference, physical fitness, self-reported physical activity, selected dietary outcomes, and health-related quality of life in overweight/obese men. As such, the program should be recommended for sustained delivery beyond this trial, involving other rugby clubs across NZ.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 16:35:22 AEDT ]]> The impact of an e-newsletter or animated video to disseminate outdoor free-play information in relation to COVID-19 guidelines in New South Wales early childhood education and care services: a randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51426 Wed 28 Feb 2024 16:12:57 AEDT ]]> Delivery of telehealth nutrition and physical activity interventions to adults living in rural areas: a scoping review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52435 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:36:33 AEDT ]]> Implementation of healthy eating and physical activity practices in Australian early childhood education and care services: A cross-sectional study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54361 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:26:46 AEDT ]]> Telephone and Web-Based Delivery of Healthy Eating and Active Living Interventions for Parents of Children Aged 2 to 6 Years: Mixed Methods Process Evaluation of the Time for Healthy Habits Translation Trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52042 Wed 27 Sep 2023 10:06:51 AEST ]]> On the move: The impact of breaking up sitting during the day on driving performance when sleep restricted https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53323 Wed 22 Nov 2023 10:05:03 AEDT ]]> Economic evaluation of a multi-strategy intervention that improves school-based physical activity policy implementation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51124 Wed 21 Aug 2024 11:59:40 AEST ]]> People with Stroke Are Most Sedentary in the Afternoon and Evening https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47104 Wed 14 Dec 2022 09:58:30 AEDT ]]> Physical activity and functional disability among older adults in Ghana: The moderating role of multi-morbidity. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52433 Wed 11 Oct 2023 14:47:33 AEDT ]]> Leisure-Time Physical Activity and Falls With and Without Injuries Among Older Adult Women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54677 Wed 10 Jul 2024 11:38:17 AEST ]]> Increasing physical activity in severe asthma: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50859 Wed 09 Aug 2023 10:13:55 AEST ]]> School-level factors associated with the sustainment of weekly physical activity scheduled in Australian elementary schools: an observational study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51140 Wed 07 Feb 2024 14:53:37 AEDT ]]> Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Behavioral Economic Incentive Programs for Goal Achievement on Healthy Diet, Weight Control and Physical Activity: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52396 Wed 06 Mar 2024 15:53:23 AEDT ]]> Mental health and family contextual factors in Australian women: associations and predictors of health risk behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46530 Wed 06 Mar 2024 15:06:45 AEDT ]]> Kick-Smart Education: promoting academic achievement, fitness and wellbeing in primary school-aged children through martial arts https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51098 Wed 06 Mar 2024 14:33:40 AEDT ]]> Investigating the role of community managed organisations in addressing the health risk behaviours of people living with mental health conditions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50018 Wed 06 Mar 2024 14:33:30 AEDT ]]> Gamification in a Physical Activity App: What Gamification Features Are Being Used, by Whom, and Does It Make a Difference?

There is a need to better understand the broader impact of father-focused, healthy lifestyle programs from the perspectives of other family members. This qualitative study explored the impact of a HDHK by gathering insights from the family unit (fathers, mothers/partners and children). Fathers and children who participated in the HDHK dissemination trial from the Maitland local government area (New South Wales, Australia) (n = 33) and all mothers/partners of participating HDHK were invited to take part in this qualitative study. Eleven focus groups were undertaken with 25 fathers (41.9 ± 6.3 years, 32.4 ± 5.1 kg/m2), 15 mothers/partners’ (38.1 ± 6.6 years), and 41 children (51% male, 8.2 ± 2.1 years). Audio recordings were transcribed and analyzed by an independent researcher using a standard general inductive approach to qualitative analysis with thematic analysis applied. Three key themes emerged, demonstrating several personal and family program impacts. These included a positive impact on: (i) the father-child relationship, (ii) new family habits (e.g., lifestyle changes within the family unit) and (iii) fathers’ involvement and parenting practices (e.g., increase in fathers’ household responsibilities). Improving the knowledge and skills of fathers and children through evidence-based strategies may be a useful approach to strengthen their relationship, enhance parenting strategies, and optimize health behaviors. Notably, findings showed the changes made by the fathers and children positively impacted the wider family unit.]]> Tue 30 Jan 2024 13:58:30 AEDT ]]> Effectiveness of Intervention Strategies to Increase Adolescents’ Physical Activity and Reduce Sedentary Time in Secondary School Settings, Including Factors Related to Implementation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:55206 Tue 30 Apr 2024 15:16:53 AEST ]]> Key Considerations When Addressing Physical Inactivity and Sedentary Behaviour in People with Asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54427 Tue 27 Feb 2024 13:53:28 AEDT ]]> Mechanisms Linking Physical Activity with Psychiatric Symptoms Across the Lifespan: A Systematic Review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54461 Tue 27 Feb 2024 13:50:45 AEDT ]]> Comparison of adult shift and non-shift workers’ physical activity and sleep behaviours: cross-sectional analysis from the Household Income and Labour Dynamics of Australia (HILDA) cohort https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50342 Abstract Aim This study compares the pattern of physical activity and sleep between shift and non-shift workers using a novel physical activity–sleep index. By drawing from a diverse occupational population, this research aims to reduce any occupational specific biases which are prevalent in shift-work research. Subject and methods Current data included 7607 workers (shift workers n = 832) from the Household Income and Labour Dynamics of Australia cohort study. The combined physical activity–sleep index comprised three physical activity components and three sleep health components: achieving moderate (1pt) or high (2pts) IPAQ classification; accruing ≥30% of physical activity as vigorous intensity (1pt); meeting sleep duration recommendations on a work night (1pt); and non-work night (1pt); and reporting no insomnia symptoms (1pt) (higher score = healthy behaviour, max. 6). Generalised linear modelling was used to compare behaviours of shift and non-shift workers. Results Findings showed shift workers reported significantly lower activity–sleep scores (3.59 vs 3.73, p < 0.001), lower sleep behaviour sub-score (2.01 vs. 2.22, p < 0.001) and were more likely to report insomnia symptoms (p < 0.001) compared to non-shift workers. No difference was reported for overall physical activity (shift = 1.58 vs. non-shift = 1.51, p = 0.383). Conclusion When viewed in conjunction using the combined activity–sleep index, shift workers displayed significantly poorer combined behaviours when compared to non-shift workers. ]]> Tue 25 Jul 2023 10:09:12 AEST ]]> Effects of a father-daughter physical activity intervention delivered by trained facilitators in the community setting on girls' social-emotional well-being: A randomized controlled trial. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53959 Tue 23 Jan 2024 12:32:45 AEDT ]]> Impact of the ‘Healthy Youngsters, Healthy Dads’ program on physical activity and other health behaviours: a randomised controlled trial involving fathers and their preschool-aged children https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51139 Tue 22 Aug 2023 15:58:19 AEST ]]> Optimising a multi-strategy implementation intervention to improve the delivery of a school physical activity policy at scale: findings from a randomised noninferiority trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51130 Tue 22 Aug 2023 15:51:44 AEST ]]> Behavioral and Cognitive Outcomes of an Online Weight Loss Program for Men With Low Mood: A Randomized Controlled Trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48545 Tue 21 Mar 2023 15:23:47 AEDT ]]> Mediating effects of sleep on mental health in older adolescents: Findings from the Burn 2 Learn randomized controlled trial. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54327 Tue 20 Feb 2024 15:58:32 AEDT ]]> Healthy weight and overweight adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus do not meet recommendations for daily physical activity and sleep https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54313 Tue 20 Feb 2024 14:29:22 AEDT ]]> Using Digital Health Technologies to Monitor Pain, Medication Adherence and Physical Activity in Young People with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Feasibility Study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54869 Tue 19 Mar 2024 15:57:10 AEDT ]]> Physical activity and sedentary behavior among school-going adolescents in lowand middle-income countries: insights from the global school-based health survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:55710 Tue 18 Jun 2024 12:51:36 AEST ]]> The effectiveness of the TRACE online nutrition intervention in improving dietary intake, sleep quality and physical activity levels for Australian adults with food addiction: a randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:56411 18.5 kg/m2 were recruited. Dietary intake including energy, nutrients and diet quality were assessed by a validated food frequency questionnaire in addition to sleep quality and physical activity (total min) and compared between groups and over time. Personalised dietary goals set by participants were examined to determine whether improvements in percent energy from core and non-core foods were reported. Results: The active intervention group was superior compared to the passive intervention and control groups for improvements in percent energy from core (6.4%/day [95% confidence interval (CI) −0.0 to 12.9], p = 0.049), non-core foods (−6.4%/day [95% CI −12.9 to 0.0], p = 0.049), sweetened drinks (−1.7%/day [95% CI −2.9 to −0.4], p = 0.013), takeaway foods (−2.3%/day [95% CI −4.5 to −0.1], p = 0.045) and sodium (−478 mg/day [95% CI −765 to −191 mg], p = 0.001).

Poor mental health (Mental Health Inventory-5 ≤ 54) was assessed annually. Baseline (2013) PA was classified as high/moderate/low, and insomnia symptoms (i.e., trouble sleeping) were classified as no insomnia symptoms/insomnia symptoms, with 6 mutually exclusive PA-insomnia symptom groups derived. Associations of PA–insomnia symptom groups with onset of poor mental health were examined using discrete-time proportional-hazards logit-hazard models. Results: There were 2322 new cases of poor mental health (21.2%). Relative to the high PA/no insomnia symptoms group, there were higher odds (odds ratio, 95% confidence interval (95%CI)) of poor mental health among the high PA/insomnia symptoms (OR = 1.87, 95%CI: 1.57–2.23), moderate PA/insomnia symptoms (OR = 1.93, 95%CI: 1.61–2.31), low PA/insomnia symptoms (OR = 2.33, 95%CI: 1.96–2.78), and low PA/no insomnia symptoms (OR = 1.14, 95%CI: 1.01–1.29) groups. Any level of PA combined with insomnia symptoms was associated with increased odds of poor mental health, with the odds increasing as PA decreased. Conclusion: These findings highlight the potential benefit of interventions targeting both PA and insomnia symptoms for promoting mental health.

Relevance of materials is associated with greater change in physical activity determinants and may be more so among those with a higher NFC.]]> Mon 22 Jan 2024 16:49:45 AEDT ]]> The Aussie-FIT process evaluation: feasibility and acceptability of a weight loss intervention for men, delivered in Australian Football League settings https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:44544 Mon 17 Oct 2022 09:31:23 AEDT ]]> Effect of physical activity interventions on children′s academic performance: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:55693 Mon 17 Jun 2024 10:33:00 AEST ]]> Physical Activity After Transient Ischemic Attack or Mild Stroke Is Business as Usual https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47380 Mon 16 Jan 2023 13:46:52 AEDT ]]> Non-therapeutic strategies to promote physical activity of stroke survivors in hospital settings: A systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53030 Mon 13 Nov 2023 08:50:28 AEDT ]]> Impact of the ActTeens Program on physical activity and fitness in adolescents: a cluster randomized controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:56169 Mon 12 Aug 2024 09:57:38 AEST ]]> The associations between physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep with mortality and incident cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and mental health in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54721 Mon 11 Mar 2024 11:58:49 AEDT ]]> Does matching a personally tailored physical activity intervention to participants’ learning style improve intervention effectiveness and engagement? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54108 Mon 05 Feb 2024 09:56:03 AEDT ]]> Scaling-up a school-based physical activity program: Physical Activity 4 Everyone (PA4E1) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:56130 Mon 05 Aug 2024 17:42:54 AEST ]]> From co-production to practice: developing a telehealth delivered intervention to reduce stroke risk https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:56113 Mon 05 Aug 2024 12:43:39 AEST ]]> How Should We Measure Physical Activity After Stroke?

Our focus was physical activity and nutrition programs for obesity prevention. We identified programs through published literature and searched through publicly available information on the theoretical factors determining sustainment. We reviewed 90 programs and explored intervention characteristics, provider, delivery and process level factors, and the outer environment influences. Programs were sustained on average 15 years and more frequently characterised as behavioural change skills programs targeting children, funded by non-government organisations and delivered by community organisations. Most programs had undergone some modification (n = 55). Differences between programs were observed across key factors: Programs sustained 15+ years were mainly behaviour skills programs (n = 21); and characterised by interactive designs (i.e., face-to-face or digital) over static innovations (i.e., print material) compared with those sustained <15 years (p = 0.024). While government funding supported many of the programs (n = 45;), those sustained 15+ years were more likely to have been commercially funded (p = 0.044); and were less likely to have current community involvement (p = 0.013). Differences in ownership and funding were also observed across countries. While multiple factors may influence program sustainment, longer delivered programs where distinguished by their program characteristics and outer contextual factors, suggesting such factors may have an important role in sustaining programs in the longer-term.]]> Fri 03 May 2024 09:39:45 AEST ]]> Smoking and other health factors in patients with head and neck cancer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51357 Fri 01 Sep 2023 13:45:52 AEST ]]> mHealth to Support Outdoor Gym Resistance Training: The ecofit Effectiveness RCT https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51360 Fri 01 Sep 2023 13:41:32 AEST ]]> Measurement Properties of Smartphone Approaches to Assess Physical Activity in Healthy Young People: Systematic Review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51373 Fri 01 Sep 2023 13:41:09 AEST ]]> Clustering of chronic disease risks among people accessing community mental health services https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51351 Fri 01 Sep 2023 13:36:25 AEST ]]>
