Twenty-three studies targeted adults (17 showed significant health improvements) and four studies targeted children (two demonstrated significant health improvements). Twenty-one studies targeted physical activity (14 showed significant health improvements), 13 studies targeted diet (seven showed significant health improvements) and five studies targeted sedentary behaviour (two showed significant health improvements). More studies (n = 12; 63%) of those reporting significant effects detected between-group improvements in the health behaviour or related health outcomes, whilst fewer studies (n = 8; 42%) reported significant within-group improvements. A larger proportion of multi-component interventions (8 out of 13; 62%) showed significant between-group improvements compared to stand-alone app interventions (5 out of 14; 36%). Eleven studies reported app usage statistics, and three of them demonstrated that higher app usage was associated with improved health outcomes. Conclusions: This review provided modest evidence that app-based interventions to improve diet, physical activity and sedentary behaviours can be effective. Multi-component interventions appear to be more effective than stand-alone app interventions, however, this remains to be confirmed in controlled trials. Future research is needed on the optimal number and combination of app features, behaviour change techniques, and level of participant contact needed to maximise user engagement and intervention efficacy.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:16:34 AEST ]]> Socio-demographic factors and neighbourhood social cohesion influence adults' willingness to grant children greater independent mobility: a cross-sectional study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26930 1 km. Ordinal logistic regression was used to assess associations of socio-demographic factors and neighbourhood social cohesion with distances adults would permit for children’s independent travel and outdoor play. Results: Parents and adults with lower education were less likely to permit greater distances for children’s independent travel (OR = 0.57 and OR = 0.59, respectively). Women, parents and adults with lower education were less likely to grant children greater distances for independent outdoor play (OR = 0.61, OR = 0.50 and OR = 0.60, respectively). In contrast, adults with higher perceptions of neighbourhood social cohesion were more likely to permit children greater distances for independent travel (OR = 1.05)and outdoor play (OR = 1.05). Adult age and area-level socio-economic disadvantage were not associated with distances adults would permit for independent travel and outdoor play. Conclusions: Women, parents (particularly those of younger children), adults with lower education and those who perceived neighbourhood social cohesion as being lower were less willing to let children independently travel further away from home. Interventions to increase children’s independent mobility may be more effective if targeted to these groups. In addition, increasing neighbourhood social cohesion may help increase adults’ willingness to grant children greater independent mobility.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:02:08 AEST ]]> Is preference for mHealth intervention delivery platform associated with delivery platform familiarity? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23813 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:08:22 AEST ]]> Interest and preferences for using advanced physical activity tracking devices: results of a national cross-sectional survey https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25469 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:00:02 AEST ]]> Should I sit or stand: likelihood of adherence to messages about reducing sitting time https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35837 Tue 10 Dec 2019 17:09:23 AEDT ]]> The effectiveness of a web-based computer-tailored physical activity intervention using Fitbit activity trackers: Randomized trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34889 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:19:45 AEST ]]> 8-year trends in physical activity, nutrition, TV viewing time, smoking, alcohol and BMI: a comparison of younger and older Queensland adults https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29920 Tue 01 May 2018 09:09:34 AEST ]]> Acceptability, usefulness, and satisfaction with a web-based video-tailored physical activity intervention: The TaylorActive randomized controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44808 Thu 27 Oct 2022 12:43:51 AEDT ]]> Impact of a web-based personally tailored physical activity intervention on depression, anxiety, stress and quality of life: Secondary outcomes from a randomized controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51212 80%) reported normal levels of depression, anxiety or stress. Relative to baseline levels, significant reductions of depression, anxiety, stress and the SF12 mental health component were observed in the pooled intervention group at 3 and 9 months. Relative to the control group, significant reductions were observed in the pooled intervention group for depression and stress (3-months only) and anxiety (3- and 9-months), but not quality of life. Conclusion: A web-based physical activity intervention can result in positive mental health outcomes, even in the absence of device-measured physical activity improvements. However, these findings need to be confirmed in future studies.]]> Thu 24 Aug 2023 15:01:49 AEST ]]> Feasibility of using activity trackers and apps to increase physical activity in whole families: The Step it Up Family intervention https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51202 Thu 24 Aug 2023 15:00:08 AEST ]]> Experience and Satisfaction with a Family-Based Physical Activity Intervention Using Activity Trackers and Apps: A Qualitative Study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51201 Thu 24 Aug 2023 14:58:43 AEST ]]> The Effectiveness of a Computer-Tailored Web-Based Physical Activity Intervention Using Fitbit Activity Trackers in Older Adults (Active for Life): Randomized Controlled Trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51184 Thu 24 Aug 2023 14:38:50 AEST ]]> Engagement, acceptability, usability and satisfaction with Active for Life, a computer-tailored web-based physical activity intervention using Fitbits in older adults https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51181 Thu 24 Aug 2023 14:31:12 AEST ]]> Are web-based personally tailored physical activity videos more effective than personally tailored text-based interventions?

Active travel modes to school were not associated with children's sedentary behavior or physical activity across intensities. No statistically significant differences by sex were detected in the observed associations. However, the positive association between active travel modes to non-school destinations and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity neared statistical significance in boys (b=0.15, p=0.07) but not in girls. Conclusions: Active travel was positively associated with children's physical activity but not their sedentary behavior levels. Active travel to non-school destinations may have more potential to increase children's moderate-to-vigorous physical activity levels, than active travel to school.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:29:05 AEDT ]]> Too far from home?
