The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of a culturally adapted version of the program for Hispanic families, Papás Saludables Niños Saludables. Methods: A randomized waitlist controlled trial with a process evaluation was conducted to assess the feasibility of Papás Saludables Niños Saludables(NCT03532048). Fathers, their partner (mother), and one to three children were enrolled. A priori feasibility criteria were: (1) recruit 40 Hispanic fathers and their families in ≤4 months; (2) retain 80% of participants for pre- and postassessments; (3) maintain ≥70% attendance to the 10 sessions; (4) obtain 80% “excellent” or “good” satisfaction from participants; and (5) collect anthropometric and behavioral data on ≥75% of participants at baseline and follow-up. Results: The study enrolled 90% (n = 36) of the goal from one local pediatric clinic between May and August 2018; retained 75% of participants for postassessment; maintained 72% attendance among those who started the program; and achieved 100% “excellent/good” satisfaction ratings among the participating fathers and mothers. One hundred percent of participants had most anthropometric and behavioral data at baseline and 72% at follow-up. Conclusions: With oversampling and improvements in the recruitment strategies, Papás Saludables Niños Saludables is feasible for a randomized controlled clinical trial to address whether a father-targeted lifestyle program is efficacious among low-income Hispanic men and their children.]]> Wed 14 Dec 2022 16:03:05 AEDT ]]> A cluster randomised trial of an intervention to increase the implementation of physical activity practices in secondary schools: study protocol for scaling up the Physical Activity 4 Everyone (PA4E1) program https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36124 Wed 12 Feb 2020 15:47:05 AEDT ]]> Targeted health behavior interventions promoting physical activity: a conceptual model https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24278 Wed 11 Apr 2018 18:17:05 AEST ]]> The relationship between PE biographies and PE teaching practices of classroom teachers https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4317 Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:22:13 AEST ]]> The course improvement flowchart: a description of a tool and process for the evaluation of university teaching https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4316 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:50:28 AEST ]]> Behavioural factors related with successful weight loss 15 months post-enrolment in a commercial web-based weight-loss programme https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12882 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:18:05 AEST ]]> The SHED-IT community trial study protocol: a randomised controlled trial of weight loss programs for overweight and obese men https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9374 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:18:02 AEST ]]> Determinants of weight loss success utilizing a meal replacement plan and/or exercise, in overweight and obese adults with asthma https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25338 s = 0.398, P = 0.015) and (rs = 0.455, P = 0.005) respectively), with 1.7% greater absolute weight loss at week 10 corresponding to each one unit reduction in the asthma-related quality of life score at baseline. Furthermore, a lower baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity correlated with greater weight loss (rs = 0.398, P = 0.015). Male sex was associated with a 3.6 kg greater weight loss (P = 0.087). Reducing emotional eating during the programme was associated with greater weight loss in women (rs = 0.576, P = 0.010). Conclusions This study demonstrates that individuals with more severe asthma at baseline are more successful in achieving weight loss, which could be a consequence of greater motivation and could be used as a motivational tool within the clinical setting. Gender tailoring of weight loss programmes may be useful to enhance weight loss success. Future studies are urgently needed to establish predictors of long-term weight loss maintenance in those with asthma. See Editorial, page 179 This study is the first to demonstrate that more severe asthma at baseline, male sex, and improvements in eating behaviours during weight loss are associated with greater weight loss success in overweight and obese adults with asthma. Our findings may inform the development of asthma-specific weight management guidelines.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:17:48 AEST ]]> The relationship between instructional differentiation, student diversity and academic-engagement: a pilot observation study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12905 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:08:02 AEST ]]> The SHED-IT randomized controlled trial: evaluation of an Internet-based weight-loss program for men https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6811 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:33:23 AEST ]]> Rationale and study protocol for the 'Active Teen Leaders Avoiding Screen-time' (ATLAS) group randomized controlled trial: an obesity prevention intervention for adolescent boys from schools in low-income communities https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18907 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:25:21 AEST ]]> Relationship between body composition, inflammation and lung function in overweight and obese asthma https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12899 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:23:55 AEST ]]> The 'Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids' community effectiveness trial: study protocol of a community-based healthy lifestyle program for fathers and their children https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13548 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:16:53 AEST ]]> The ‘Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids’ community randomized controlled trial: a community-based healthy lifestyle program for fathers and their children https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14180 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:03:10 AEST ]]> 'Physical Activity 4 Everyone' school-based intervention to prevent decline in adolescent physical activity levels: 12 month (mid-intervention) report on a cluster randomised trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24019 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:57:15 AEST ]]> Impact on dietary intake of a self-directed, gender-tailored diabetes prevention program in men https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30200 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:51:59 AEST ]]> Impact of a male-only weight loss maintenance programme on social-cognitive determinants of physical activity and healthy eating: a randomized controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23076 SHED-IT Weight Loss Program were randomly allocated to receive (1) the SCT-based SHED-IT WLM Program; or (2) no additional resources (self-help control group). The 6-month gender-tailored SHED-IT WLM Program was completely self-administered and operationalized SCT behaviour change principles to assist men to increase moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and decrease energy-dense, nutrient-poor (discretionary) food consumption after initial weight loss. After randomization (WLM baseline), men were reassessed at 6 months (WLM post-test) and 12 months (6-month WLM follow-up). SCT cognitions (e.g., self-efficacy, goal setting), MVPA, and discretionary food consumption were assessed with validated measures. Results: Following significant improvements in cognitions, MVPA and discretionary food consumption during the weight loss phase, intention-to-treat, linear mixed models revealed no significant group-by-time differences in cognitions or behaviours during the WLM phase. Initial improvements in MVPA and some cognitions (e.g., goal setting, planning, and social support) were largely maintained by both groups at the end of the study. Dietary effects were not as strongly maintained, with the intervention and control groups maintaining 57% and 75% of the Phase I improvements in discretionary food intake, respectively. Conclusions: An additional SCT-based WLM programme did not elicit further improvements over a self-help control in the cognitions or behaviours for MVPA or discretionary food intake of men who had lost weight with a SCT-based weight loss programme.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:32:59 AEST ]]> The SHED-IT weight loss maintenance trial protocol : a randomised controlled trial of a weight loss maintenance program for overweight and obese men https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13785 2, ≥ 30 kg/m2). Assessments occurred at 'study entry' (start of Phase I), 'baseline' (start of Phase II), '6 months' (post-test) and will occur at '12 months' (follow-up; primary endpoint). The primary outcome is weight change in Phase II (i.e. from 'baseline' at 12 months after randomization). Secondary outcomes include waist circumference (umbilicus and narrowest), blood pressure, body composition, objectively measured physical activity, sedentary time, portion size, dietary intake, quality of life, depressive symptoms, and behavioural cognitions. Costing data will be collected for cost-effectiveness analysis. Generalised linear mixed models (intention-to-treat) will assess outcomes for treatment (maintenance vs. control), time (baseline, 6-month and 12-month) and the treatment-by-time interaction. This will be the first study to evaluate a male-only, gender-targeted weight loss maintenance program.

and 6 months (follow-up). Results: In an intention-to-treat, multiple-mediator model, the significant intervention effect on weight at 6 months (-3.70 kg; p < 0.001) was mediated by increases in physical activity (steps/day) and decreases in takeaway meals (kJ/day) and portion size at 3 months. The largest mediation effect was for physical activity (-0.6 kg; 95% confidence interval -1.4, -0.1). Overall, the targeted mediators accounted for 47.0% of the intervention's effect on weight. Conclusion: Step counts, takeaway food consumption, and portion sizes may be key areas to target in future weight loss programs for men (ACTRN12610000699066).]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:15:52 AEST ]]> Paternal physical activity: an important target to improve the health of fathers and their children https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30381 Wed 09 Feb 2022 15:55:43 AEDT ]]> Workday sitting time and marital status: novel pretreatment predictors of weight loss in overweight and obese men https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25400 Wed 06 Apr 2022 14:05:22 AEST ]]> Scale-up of the Physical Activity 4 Everyone (PA4E1) intervention in secondary schools: 24-month implementation and cost outcomes from a cluster randomised controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44033 75%).

Adolescents (N = 508; 14.1 ± 0.5 years; 49.6% female) completed measures of global self-esteem, subjective well-being, and hypothesized mediators (i.e., perceived fitness, resistance training self-efficacy, and autonomous motivation) at baseline (April-June, 2015) and post-intervention (October-December). The school-based physical activity program was delivered by teachers over 10-weeks via Physical Education, co-curricular school sport, or an elective subject known as Physical Activity and Sport Studies, and involved once-weekly fitness sessions and additional lunch-time sessions. Intervention effects and moderator analyses were tested using multi-level linear regression analyses with interaction terms. Multi-level mediation analyses were used to explore potential mediators of changes in well-being outcomes. Results: Intervention effects for self-esteem (ß = 0.05, p =.194) and wellbeing (ß = 0.03, p =.509) were not statistically significant. Moderator analyses showed effects for self-esteem were greater for the overweight/obese subgroup (p =.069 for interaction), and resistance training self-efficacy was a significant mediator of changes in self-esteem (product-of-coefficients [AB] = 0.021, SE = 0.010, 95% CIs = 0.002 to 0.040). No other significant indirect effects were observed. Conclusion: Overall, Resistance Training for Teens did not improve adolescents' self-esteem or subjective well-being.

Conclusions: Through the application of multiple implementation support strategies, secondary schools were able to overcome commonly known barriers to implement evidence based school PA practices. As such practices have been shown to result in an increase in adolescent PA and improvements in weight status, policy makers and practitioners responsible for advocating PA in schools should consider this implementation approach more broadly when working with schools. Follow-up is required to determine whether practice implementation is sustained.

Gender roles for mothers and fathers, and differences in how fathers interact with male and female children, emerged and should be considered in program activities. Several barriers to father engagement surfaced, including lack of time due to work schedules, physically demanding jobs, concerns of caring for children without mother, fathers’ current fitness/weight, and lack of knowledge of how to eat more healthfully. The reading level of the HDHK materials was too high for some parents. Conclusion: Findings from these formative qualitative studies informed the cultural adaptation of HDHK for Hispanic families, to account for literacy level, cultural values, and barriers to participation and engagement.]]> Mon 02 May 2022 16:30:40 AEST ]]> Implementation of policies and practices to increase physical activity among children attending centre‐based childcare: a cross‐sectional study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36819 Fri 11 Aug 2023 16:49:23 AEST ]]> Understanding the impact of a teacher education course on attitudes towards gender equity in physical activity and sport: An exploratory mixed methods evaluation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41524 n = 40) completed an Implicit Association Test and explicit attitude measures pre- and post-course.
