Physical Activity Levels, Correlates, and All-Cause Mortality Risk in People Living With Different Health Conditions
CONCLUSION: People living with different health conditions are generally less physically active compared with people living without a health condition. Both people living with and without self-reported health conditions share a number of key factors associated with physical activity levels. We also observed the expected protective association between physical activity and all-cause mortality.PMID:38402878 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2023-0387 (Source: Journal of Physical Activity and Health)

Barriers and Enablers for Physical Activity Engagement Among Individuals From India With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Mixed-Method Study
CONCLUSION: Despite knowing the importance of PA, compliance with PA was poor. The personal/internal, societal, and external factors constituted the trinity of barriers and enablers in compliance with PA. Behavioral changes, societal changes, policy initiatives, and PA training in health care settings may enhance PA practice among individuals with T2DM.PMID:38402875 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2023-0574 (Source: Journal of Physical Activity and Health)

After-School Activities of Japanese Elementary School Children: Comparison of Children Who Attend Lessons and Cram Schools With Those Who Do Not
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggested that the participation of children in organized activities leads to a routine of parental pickup and/or drop-off, which renders difficult the facilitation of opportunities for children to independently participate in play activities.PMID:38377981 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2023-0642 (Source: Journal of Physical Activity and Health)

Physical Activity Policies at National and Subnational Levels: A Study in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Mexico
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that collecting national and subnational PA policy data across countries with the active collaboration of the GoPA! network was feasible. We also successfully identified governmental interactions throughout the PA policy process, suggesting suboptimal engagement between national and subnational levels.PMID:38340713 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2023-0342 (Source: Journal of Physical Activity and Health)

A Mobile Health Resistance Training Intervention Using Outdoor Gym Equipment: Process Evaluation of the Ecofit Effectiveness Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: The ecofit app provided participants with sufficient skills to perform unsupervised resistance training exercises using mobile health. Only half of the participants regarded self-assessments and goal setting as useful, suggesting a need for modifications to how these are implemented. Mobile health remains a promising delivery platform to promote unsupervised resistance training, although more research is needed to improve uptake.PMID:38335945 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2023-0228 (Source: Journal of Physical Activity and Health)
