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.
Introduction: The use of theories, models and/or frameworks (TMFs) in implementation research and practice is essential for developing useful and testable implementation strategies. Recommendations and tools exist to aid implementation groups in selecting TMFs, but they do not explicitly outline a systematic method for identifying and selecting TMFs. This paper aimed to (1) propose a systematic consensus-based method to select TMFs to support implementation processes, and to (2) demonstrate the use of this novel method in the context of researching the implementation of hip protectors for fracture prevention in long-term care (LTC).

This study aimed to identify and compare Canadian and Dutch counselors' knowledge, skills, and confidence in using these best practices.
Methods: An online survey was conducted in Canada and the Netherlands.
Background: Health, fitness and lifestyle professionals can play important roles in promoting physical activity in groups at risk of developing an inactive lifestyle, such as people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Tailored counselling is a promising tool to promote and improve physical activity levels. To support professionals to effectively have a conversation about physical activity with clients with SCI, evidence-based training and resources are needed.

Methods: Qualitative interview study with North American SCI researchers who were interested in using a partnered research approach. The research was conducted using an IKT approach, and interview data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.
