A total of 240 adults (aged 18-80) will be recruited and randomly allocated to either the ecofit intervention or a 'wait-list' control group. Both groups will have access to the two types of outdoor park exercise equipment, but the intervention group will be given access to the purpose-built ecofit app and a 90-min introductory group training session. To promote social support, participants can enrol in a group of up to four individuals and access the ecofit Facebook group. The ecofit app include workout plans that can be tailored to different locations, difficulty levels and workout-types (i.e., resistance-only or combined resistance and aerobic workouts). Outcome assessments will be conducted at baseline, 3- (primary-end point) and 9-months follow-up. The primary outcomes are upper and lower body muscular fitness. The secondary outcomes include physical activity, body composition, aerobic fitness, body mass index, self-report resistance-based physical activity, and mental health outcomes. The cost-effectiveness of the study will also be evaluated. Discussion: ecofit is an innovative, multi-component physical activity intervention that integrates smartphone technology, social support and the outdoor built environment to promote community-based aerobic and resistance-based physical. The findings will be used to guide future interventions and to support councils to promote community-based physical activity through the use of local outdoor exercise equipment.

Results: The intervention groups presented a significant reduction in the cardiometabolic risk Z score after 12 weeks of the combined exercise program. In relation to the cardiometabolic risk Z score between groups, the HIIT + RT group presented a significant intervention effect when compared with the control group (Cohen d = 0.23; P < .05). Significant intervention effects were found when comparing the MICT + RT and control groups for body fat percentage, high-density lipoprotein, and VO₂peak. Between the HIIT + RT and control groups, significant intervention effects were found for body fat percentage, blood pressure, and VO₂peak. There were not significant differences between the HIIT + RT and MICT + RT groups. Conclusion: Twelve weeks of HIIT + RT and MICT + RT were effective in significantly reducing the cardiometabolic risk in these adolescents.]]> Mon 31 Oct 2022 15:40:59 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35032 Mon 30 Mar 2020 09:45:27 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30579 max) immediately prior to the 1 hour of task-specific training with the therapist. Recruitment, adherence, retention, participant acceptability, and adverse events will be recorded. Clinical outcome measures will be performed pre-randomisation at baseline, at completion of the training program, and at 1 and 6 months follow-up. Primary clinical outcome measures will be the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) and the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT). If aerobic exercise prior to task-specific training is acceptable, and a future phase 3 randomised controlled trial seems feasible, it should be pursued to determine the efficacy of this combined intervention for people after stroke.]]> Fri 24 Aug 2018 09:07:00 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16769 Fri 16 Aug 2024 14:03:07 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48029 Fri 07 Jul 2023 11:55:20 AEST ]]>
