https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Index ${session.getAttribute("locale")} 5 Rugby fans in training New Zealand (RUFIT NZ): a randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of a healthy lifestyle program for overweight men delivered through professional rugby clubs https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52745 n = 96) was shown to be effective in weight loss, adherence to healthy lifestyle behaviors, and cardiorespiratory fitness in overweight and obese men. A full effectiveness trial is now needed. Aims: To determine the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of Rugby Fans In Training-NZ (RUFIT-NZ) on weight loss, fitness, blood pressure, lifestyle change, and health related quality of life (HRQoL) at 12- and 52-weeks. Methods: We conducted a pragmatic, two-arm, multi-center, randomized controlled trial in NZ with 378 (target 308) overweight and obese men aged 30-65 years, randomized to an intervention group or wait-list control group. The 12-week RUFIT-NZ program was a gender-sensitised, healthy lifestyle intervention delivered through professional rugby clubs. Each intervention session included: i) a 1-h workshop-based education component focused on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, sedentary behavior, and learning evidence-based behavior change strategies for sustaining a healthier lifestyle; and 2) a 1-h group-based, but individually tailored, exercise training session. The control group were offered RUFIT-NZ after 52-weeks. The primary outcome was change in body weight from baseline to 52-weeks. Secondary outcomes included change in body weight at 12-weeks, waist circumference, blood pressure, fitness (cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal), lifestyle behaviors (leisure-time physical activity, sleep, smoking status, and alcohol and dietary quality), and health-related quality of life at 12- and 52-weeks. Results: Our final analysis included 200 participants (intervention n = 103; control n = 97) who were able to complete the RUFIT-NZ intervention prior to COVID-19 restrictions. At 52-weeks, the adjusted mean group difference in weight change (primary outcome) was -2.77 kg (95% CI -4.92 to -0.61), which favored the intervention group. The intervention also resulted in favorable significant differences in weight change and fruit and vegetable consumption at 12-weeks; and waist circumference, fitness outcomes, physical activity levels, and health-related quality of life at both 12 and 52 weeks. No significant intervention effects were observed for blood pressure, or sleep. Incremental cost-effective ratios estimated were $259 per kg lost, or $40,269 per quality adjusted life year (QALY) gained. Conclusion: RUFIT-NZ resulted in sustained positive changes in weight, waist circumference, physical fitness, self-reported physical activity, selected dietary outcomes, and health-related quality of life in overweight/obese men. As such, the program should be recommended for sustained delivery beyond this trial, involving other rugby clubs across NZ.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 16:35:22 AEDT ]]> Delivery of telehealth nutrition and physical activity interventions to adults living in rural areas: a scoping review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52435 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:36:33 AEDT ]]> Do physical activity and screen time mediate the association between European fathers' and their children's weight status?

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 ]]> Exploring the mechanisms of weight loss in the SHED-IT intervention for overweight men: a mediation analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6807 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:11:59 AEST ]]> Assessing the intake of obesity-related foods and beverages in young children: comparison of a simple population survey with 24 hr-recall https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7507 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:09:00 AEST ]]> Mediators of weight loss in the 'Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids' pilot study for overweight fathers https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11860 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:38:40 AEST ]]> Perceived sports competence mediates the relationship between childhood motor skill proficiency and adolescent physical activity and fitness: a longitudinal assessment https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4315 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:21:56 AEST ]]> Efficacy of tailored-print interventions to promote physical activity: a systematic review of randomised trials https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15419 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:54:08 AEST ]]> ParticipACTION: awareness of the participACTION campaign among Canadian adults: examining the knowledge gap hypothesis and a hierarchy-of-effects model https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6949 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:39:58 AEST ]]> Theory-and evidence-based development and process evaluation of the Move More for Life program: a tailored-print intervention designed to promote physical activity among post-treatment breast cancer survivors https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14799 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:55:47 AEST ]]> How many steps/day are enough? for children and adolescents https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15680 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:55:09 AEST ]]> How many steps/day are enough? for children and adolscents https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11863 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:25:47 AEST ]]> A cluster randomised controlled trial of a telephone-based intervention targeting the home food environment of preschoolers (the healthy habits trial): the effect on parent fruit and vegetable consumption https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16752 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:13:35 AEST ]]> Correlates of physical activity in a population-based sample of kidney cancer survivors: an application of the theory of planned behavior https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19670 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:43:57 AEST ]]> Promoting physical activity among adolescent girls: the Girls in Sport group randomized trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30123 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:41:28 AEST ]]> Development and reliability testing of a self-report instrument to measure the office layout as a correlate of occupational sitting https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14809 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:33:26 AEST ]]> Development and evaluation of social cognitive measures related to adolescent dietary behaviors https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11861 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:37:13 AEST ]]> Fundamental movement skills and physical activity among children living in low-income communities: a cross-sectional study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15553 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:33:58 AEST ]]> CAFÈ: a multicomponent audit and feedback intervention to improve implementation of healthy food policy in primary school canteens: a randomised controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29476 50% ‘green’ items, as assessed via standardised menu audits undertaken by trained dietitians. For each primary outcome, between-group differences were assessed using Fisher’s exact test under an intention to treat approach. Results: There was insufficient evidence to conclude the intervention had a positive impact on the proportion of intervention schools with no ‘red’ or ‘banned’ items on their menu (RR = 2.8; 95% CI: 0.9 to 8.9; p = 0.0895), or on the proportion of intervention schools with more than 50% ‘green’ items (RR = 1.5; 95% CI: 0.7 to 3.2; p = 0.2568). These findings remained non-significant in the multiple imputation analyses. Intervention schools were significantly more likely to have a lower percentage of ‘red’ items (p-value: 0.007) and a higher percentage of ‘green’ items on the menu (p-value: 0.014). This remained statistically significant in the multiple imputation analyses for ‘red items’ (p-value: 0.0081) but not for ‘green’ items (p-value: 0.0910). Conclusions: While there was insufficient statistical evidence to suggest that this multicomponent audit and feedback intervention was effective in improving primary schools’ compliance with a healthy canteen policy, the intervention demonstrated some positive impact in reducing the availability of ‘red’ items on the menu.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:32:26 AEST ]]> Social support from teachers mediates physical activity behavior change in children participating in the Fit-4-Fun intervention https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14686 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:24:09 AEST ]]> Waste the waist: a pilot randomised controlled trial of a primary care based intervention to support lifestyle change in people with high cardiovascular risk https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27612 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:17:27 AEST ]]> ParticipACTION: baseline assessment of the capacity available to the 'New ParticipACTION': a qualitative study of Canadian organizations https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6948 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:12:15 AEST ]]> The relationship between active travel to school and health-related fitness in children and adolescents: a systematic review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11866 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:09:47 AEST ]]> Six year follow-up of students who participated in a school-based physical activity intervention: a longitudinal cohort study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6817 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:09:23 AEST ]]> Improving availability, promotion and purchase of fruit and vegetable and non sugar-sweetened drink products at community sporting clubs: a randomised trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22166 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:03:41 AEST ]]> Characteristics of the home food environment that mediate immediate and sustained increases in child fruit and vegetable consumption: mediation analysis from the Healthy Habits cluster randomised controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22748 Healthy Habits telephone-based parent intervention. Method: Analysis was conducted using 2-month (immediate) and 12-month (sustained) follow-up data from a cluster randomised control trial of a home food environment intervention to increase the fruit and vegetable consumption of preschool children. Using recursive path analysis, a series of mediation models were created to investigate the direct and indirect effects of immediate and sustained changes to characteristics of the home food environment (fruit and vegetable availability, accessibility, parent intake, parent providing behaviour, role-modelling, mealtime eating practices, child feeding strategies, and pressure to eat), on the change in children's fruit and vegetable consumption. Results: Of the 394 participants in the randomised trial, 357 and 329 completed the 2- and 12-month follow-up respectively. The final mediation model suggests that the effect of the intervention on the children's fruit and vegetable consumption was mediated by parent fruit and vegetable intake and parent provision of these foods at both 2- and 12-month follow-up. Conclusion: Analysis of data from the Healthy Habits trial suggests that two environmental variables (parental intake and parent providing) mediate the immediate and sustained effect of the intervention, and it is recommended these variables be targeted in subsequent home food environment interventions to bring about immediate and sustained changes in child fruit and vegetable intake.

A more favourable ASI score was associated with improved symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, QOL-mental and of energy and fatigue (all p < 0.05). The intervention effects on symptoms of depression ([AB; 95%CI] -0.31; - 0.60,-0.11), anxiety (- 0.11; - 0.27,-0.01), stress (- 0.37; - 0.65,-0.174), QOL-mental (0.53; 0.22, 1.01) and ratings of energy and fatigue (0.85; 0.33, 1.63) were mediated by ASI. At 6 months the magnitude of association was larger although the overall pattern of results remained similar. Conclusions: Improvements in the overall physical activity and sleep behaviours of adults partially mediated the intervention effects on mental health and quality of life outcomes.

Compared with currently used measures such as cups and spoons, the IFU™ standardizes estimation of food volumes with metric measures. The IFU™ design is based on binary dimensional increments and the cubic shape facilitates portion size education and training, memory and recall, and computer processing which is binary in nature. Methods: The performance of the IFU™ was tested in a randomized between-subject experiment (n = 128 adults, 66 men) that estimated volumes of 17 foods using four methods; the IFU™ cube, a deformable modelling clay cube, a household measuring cup or no aid (weight estimation). Estimation errors were compared between groups using Kruskall-Wallis tests and post-hoc comparisons. Results: Estimation errors differed significantly between groups (H(3) = 28.48, p < .001). The volume estimations were most accurate in the group using the IFU™ cube (Mdn = 18.9%, IQR = 50.2) and least accurate using the measuring cup (Mdn = 87.7%, IQR = 56.1). The modelling clay cube led to a median error of 44.8% (IQR = 41.9). Compared with the measuring cup, the estimation errors using the IFU™ were significantly smaller for 12 food portions and similar for 5 food portions. Weight estimation was associated with a median error of 23.5% (IQR = 79.8). Conclusions: The IFU™ improves volume estimation accuracy compared to other methods. The cubic shape was perceived as favourable, with subdivision and multiplication facilitating volume estimation. Further studies should investigate whether the IFU™ can facilitate portion size training and whether portion size education using the IFU™ is effective and sustainable without the aid.

Therefore, we sought to recommend conceptual frameworks that can be used to design, inform, and evaluate implementation of physical activity (PA) and nutrition interventions at different stages of the program life cycle. We also sought to recommend a minimum data set of implementation outcome and determinant variables (indicators) as well as measures and tools deemed most relevant for PA and nutrition researchers. Methods: We adopted a five-round modified Delphi methodology. For rounds 1, 2, and 3 we administered online surveys to PA and nutrition implementation scientists to generate a rank order list of most commonly used; i) implementation and scale-up frameworks, ii) implementation indicators, and iii) implementation and scale-up measures and tools. Measures and tools were excluded after round 2 as input from participants was very limited. For rounds 4 and 5, we conducted two in-person meetings with an expert group to create a shortlist of implementation and scale-up frameworks, identify a minimum data set of indicators and to discuss application and relevance of frameworks and indicators to the field of PA and nutrition. Results: The two most commonly referenced implementation frameworks were the Framework for Effective Implementation and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. We provide the 25 most highly ranked implementation indicators reported by those who participated in rounds 1–3 of the survey. From these, the expert group created a recommended minimum data set of implementation determinants (n = 10) and implementation outcomes (n = 5) and reconciled differences in commonly used terms and definitions. Conclusions: Researchers are confronted with myriad options when conducting implementation and scale-up evaluations. Thus, we identified and prioritized a list of frameworks and a minimum data set of indicators that have potential to improve the quality and consistency of evaluating implementation and scale-up of PA and nutrition interventions.

Given the ongoing and scalable benefits of PACE, it is important that we continue to extend and improve this program while considering ways to reduce the associated cost.]]> Mon 25 Sep 2023 10:58:56 AEST ]]> Impact of scheduling multiple free-play periods in childcare on child moderate-to-vigorous physical activity: a cluster randomised trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32026 Mon 23 Sep 2019 11:59:16 AEST ]]> The effectiveness of a web 2.0 physical activity intervention in older adults - a randomised controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32775 Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:47:46 AEST ]]> The efficacy of a multi-strategy choice architecture intervention on improving the nutritional quality of high school students’ lunch purchases from online canteens (Click & Crunch High Schools): a cluster randomized controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51102 Mon 21 Aug 2023 14:53:16 AEST ]]> Scale-up of the Internet-based Professional Learning to help teachers promote Activity in Youth (iPLAY) intervention: a hybrid type 3 implementation-effectiveness trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51101 Mon 21 Aug 2023 14:46:33 AEST ]]> CooC11 and CooC7: the development and validation of age appropriate children’s perceived cooking competence measures https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43424  0.9) and good internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alphas > 0.7). Both measures showed initial discriminant validity, with significant differences (P< 0.001) between those who reported assisting their parents with dinner preparation and those who did not. Additionally, CooC11 was significantly correlated with an adult cooking measure and had a significant responsiveness to change (P< 0.01). Conclusions: The CooC11 and CooC7 are the first validated age-appropriate measures for assessing children’s perceived Cooking Competence for ages 8–12 and 6–7 years respectively. They can be used to evaluate the efficacy of children’s cooking intervention studies or school nutrition education programmes.]]> Mon 19 Sep 2022 08:39:07 AEST ]]> How to select interventions for promoting physical activity in schools? Combining preferences of stakeholders and scientists https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52515 Mon 16 Oct 2023 10:38:42 AEDT ]]> Scale-up of the Physical Activity 4 Everyone (PA4E1) intervention in secondary schools: 12-month implementation outcomes from a cluster randomized controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37430  80%). 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 ]]> Effectiveness of a multicomponent intervention to enhance implementation of a healthy canteen policy in Australian primary schools: a randomised controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24525 Fri 25 Sep 2020 13:38:39 AEST ]]> A systematic review and meta-analysis of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity levels in secondary school physical education lessons https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29919 Fri 24 Aug 2018 09:03:02 AEST ]]> Identifying essential implementation strategies: a mixed methods process evaluation of a multi-strategy policy implementation intervention for schools https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51750 Fri 15 Sep 2023 18:22:11 AEST ]]> Motor skill competence and moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity: a linear and non-linear cross-sectional analysis of eight pooled trials 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 ]]> Cross-sectional associations between 24-hour time-use composition, grey matter volume and cognitive function in healthy older adults https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54662 Fri 08 Mar 2024 10:56:51 AEDT ]]> Evaluating the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation and maintenance of the Resistance Training for Teens program https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40370 Fri 08 Jul 2022 16:16:39 AEST ]]> Identification and evaluation of risk of generalizability biases in pilot versus efficacy/effectiveness trials: A systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41558 Fri 05 Aug 2022 14:31:00 AEST ]]> The impact of school uniforms on primary school student’s physical activity at school: outcomes of a cluster randomized controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49831 Fri 02 Jun 2023 16:03:52 AEST ]]>
