Improved Physical Health in Middle-Older Aged Golf Caddies Following 24 Weeks of High-Volume Physical Activity
CONCLUSION: Golf caddying can provide several physical health benefits such as improvements in various markers of cardiometabolic health, lower back absolute strength, and static and dynamic balance. The physical health improvements that caddying offers is likely contributed to by increased PA volume and intensity through walking on the golf course. Therefore, caddying may represent a feasible model for increasing PA volume and intensity and achieve physical health-related benefits.PMID:37939701 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2023-0288 (Source: Journal of Physical Activity and Health)

Inequalities in Leisure-Time Physical Activity and Television Viewing According to Age Among a Brazilian Adult Population
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings may help researchers and policymakers further explore inequalities in physical activity across life in different settings, as well as develop sensitive cultural actions to support more vulnerable people to adopt public health recommendations.PMID:37939706 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2022-0409 (Source: Journal of Physical Activity and Health)

"Post or Perish"? An Early Career Researcher's Guide to Using Social Media
J Phys Act Health. 2023 Nov 8:1-6. doi: 10.1123/jpah.2023-0533. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSocial media usage has soared in the last decade, with the majority of adults having an account on at least one platform. Sites such as LinkedIn, X, and TikTok allow users to share content using different forms, for example, written or video, long form or short form. Social media can be used by researchers to forge collaborations, rapidly disseminate new research, and demonstrate societal impact. This opinion piece aims to highlight the value of social media, in particular for early career researchers, and offer suggestions on how...

Charting a Course: Navigating Rigor and Meaning in Global Health Research
J Phys Act Health. 2023 Nov 7:1-2. doi: 10.1123/jpah.2023-0611. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the rapidly evolving landscape of global health research, the tension between scientific rigor and contextual meaning presents a critical challenge. Drawing on our work with the Global Diet and Physical Activity Network, this commentary explores the complexities of conducting environmental audits for physical activity and diet in 4 rapidly urbanizing African cities: Yaoundé, Lagos, Cape Town, and Soweto. We illustrate the competing demands and tensions that researchers face in balancing rigor and meaning. We discuss the adapta...

Participant Bias in Community-Based Physical Activity Research: A Consistent Limitation?
J Phys Act Health. 2023 Nov 7:1-4. doi: 10.1123/jpah.2023-0267. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPhysical activity is a beneficial, yet complex, health behavior. To ensure more people experience the benefits of physical activity, we develop and test interventions to promote physical activity and its associated benefits. Nevertheless, we continue to see certain groups of people who choose not to, or are unable to, take part in research, resulting in "recruitment bias." In fact, we (and others) are seemingly missing large segments of people and are doing little to promote physical activity research to equity-deserving populatio...
