Women in two comparison groups (CI and C2) (n=48; n=43) were from the control (C1) and intervention (C2) arms of InFANT Extend and received no additional support. Weight and waist circumference were measured objectively. Written surveys assessed diet and physical activity. Sedentary behaviour was self-reported. Linear and logistic regression assessed changes in outcomes between groups from 9 to 18 months postpartum. Results: Mean PPWR decreased in the (I) group (-1.2kg) and the C2 group (-1.2kg), although the changes were not significant. Mean waist circumference for all groups exceeded recommendations at baseline but decreased to below recommendations for women in the (I) group (78.3cm) and significantly for the (I) group (-6.4cm) compared to C1 (-1.1cm; P=0.002) and C2 (-3.3cm; P=0.001). Changes in diet, physical activity or sedentary behaviour were not significant. Conclusions: The online intervention reported in the present study shows promise with respect to reducing waist circumference in postpartum women. Further evidence of strategies that may improve weight and related behaviours in this target group is needed.]]> Thu 18 Aug 2022 13:52:00 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54683  70 out of 100/ and ~ 35 out of 50) the association strength increased for both moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity. There were sex interactions for locomotor skills only, specifically for vigorous activity with boys having a stronger positive association than girls. Conclusions: There appears to be a threshold for object control skill proficiency that children need to reach to enhance their physical activity levels which provides support for a motor skill "proficiency barrier". This provides a tangible benchmark for children to achieve in motor competence programs.]]> Fri 08 Mar 2024 11:45:45 AEDT ]]>
