Long-term trajectories of physical activity behavior in adults with physical disabilities and/or chronic diseases following rehabilitation: the prospective cohort study ReSpAct 2.0.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify trajectories of physical activity behavior from discharge up to 6-8 years after rehabilitation among adults with physical disabilities and/or chronic diseases, and to determine modifiable determinants associated with trajectory membership.

Material And Methods: 390 Adults with physical disabilities and/or chronic diseases participated in the Rehabilitation, Sports and Active lifestyle (ReSpAct) 2.0 study with measurements at 3-6 weeks before discharge (T0), and 14 (T1), 33 (T2), and 52 weeks (T3), and 6-8 years (T4) after discharge from rehabilitation.

Impact of virtual reality immersion on exercise performance and perceptions in young, middle-aged and older adults.

This study compared the effect of high and low levels of virtual reality (VR) immersion during moderate and high intensity cycling-exercise in younger (18-35 years), middle-aged (36-50 years), and older (51-69 years) adults. Thirty participants (5 female and 5 males per age group) completed moderate (steady state: 15 minutes at 60-75% maximum heart rate (MHR)) and high (sprint: 10 x 30 second sprints at 75-85% MHR) intensity cycling in four conditions: VR using a head-mounted display (High HMD), room-projector (Low Room), screen-projector (Low Screen) and No VR. Exercise performance measures (cadence, distance, power output) were recorded.

Uncovering the roles of automatic attitudes and controlled processes in the regulation of physical activity behavior in children.

Despite substantial research efforts to increase engagement in physical activity (PA), children are not sufficiently active. Dual-process theories suggest that PA behavior regulation occurs through both controlled (i.e.

Managing fatigue transdiagnostically: a qualitative study among people with chronic conditions on optimizing daily activity.

Purpose: To explore fatigue and physical activity behavior experiences and management, with an emphasis on activity pacing among adults with chronic conditions.

Materials And Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 adults with chronic conditions and the symptoms of chronic fatigue who had either received or not received fatigue management advice. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim, then analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.

Pacing Behavior Development: The Role of Task Experience and the Presence of Competitors.

Introduction: Self-regulation of effort during exercise (i.e., pacing) is a determinant of exercise performance, which develops during childhood and adolescence.
