Article Synopsis
  • The research focused on reducing sedentary behavior among African American elders through a 4-week "Stand Up and Move More" (SUMM) intervention, with an emphasis on feasibility and participant satisfaction.
  • Two pilot studies evaluated the retention, adherence, safety, and preliminary effectiveness of the SUMM intervention, measuring sedentary behavior, physical function, and quality of life at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up.
  • Results indicated high participant satisfaction and retention, with moderate to large improvements in physical function and quality of life, suggesting that SUMM is a viable option for enhancing the well-being of African American older adults.

Asteroids with diameters less than about 5 km have complex histories because they are small enough for radiative torques (that is, YORP, short for the Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack effect) to be a notable factor in their evolution. (152830) Dinkinesh is a small asteroid orbiting the Sun near the inner edge of the main asteroid belt with a heliocentric semimajor axis of 2.19 AU; its S-type spectrum is typical of bodies in this part of the main belt.
