Interventions Based on Behavior Change Techniques to Encourage Physical Activity or Decrease Sedentary Behavior in Community-Dwelling Adults Aged 50-70: Systematic Review With Intervention Component Analysis
J Aging Phys Act. 2024 Apr 24:1-24. doi: 10.1123/japa.2023-0140. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIncreasing physical activity (PA) and/or decreasing sedentary behaviors is important in the delay and prevention of long-term conditions. PA can help maintain function and independence and decrease the need for hospitalization/institutionalization. Activity rates often decline in later life resulting in a need for interventions that encourage uptake and adherence through the use of Behavior Change Techniques (BCTs). We conducted a systematic review of the evidence for interventions that included BCTs in community-dwelling adults ...

Are Barriers to Physical Activity Associated With Changing Physical Activity Levels and Sedentary Time in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease? A Longitudinal Study
J Aging Phys Act. 2024 Apr 24:1-7. doi: 10.1123/japa.2023-0120. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aims of the current study were to analyze the association between the barriers to and changes in physical activity levels and sedentary behavior, as well as to examine whether these barriers change over time in patients with peripheral artery disease. In this longitudinal study, we assessed 72 patients (68% men; 65.7 ± 9.2 years). Physical activity was measured over a 7-day period using an accelerometer, and data were collected on time spent in sedentary activities, low-light physical activities, and moderate-to-vigorous phys...
