Introduction: Fibromyalgia (FM) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are complex central sensitization syndromes that represent an important public health problem. Low cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle function with habitual intolerance to efforts are common characteristics of FM and CFS. This study aimed to examine the effect of a brief multicomponent intervention based on physical activity (PA), nutrition, and chronobiology on movement behaviors (PA, sedentary and sleep time), muscle strength, and cardiorespiratory capacity.

Article Synopsis
  • * 1360 older adults (65+) from four European countries participated, comparing three groups: ERS with SMS, ERS alone, and a control group.
  • * While increases in functional capacity were noted after four months favoring the ERS-SMS group, these differences were minimal and not maintained in the long term, suggesting that the benefits of adding SMS were uncertain.

Introduction: Programmes for older people aimed at increasing physical activity (PA) and reducing sedentary behaviour (SB) traditionally focus on achieving functional and health improvements. Focusing on enjoyment and social inclusion could strengthen adherence and help reach older people with social disadvantages. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the Join4Joy approach in PA programmes and its assessment tools.

Article Synopsis
  • * Key objectives include identifying the necessary knowledge for future professionals regarding physical activity programs for older adults and exploring effective training methodologies.
  • * Results show that both groups recognize the need for enhanced practical training and highlight various important themes, such as motivations, program characteristics, and existing barriers to success in working with older populations.

Article Synopsis
  • Sedentary behavior (SB), which affects health in older adults, is influenced by educational level, highlighting its role in health disparities among this age group in Europe.
  • The study involved 1,360 participants over 65, assessing SB through self-reports and accelerometers, with findings indicating those with lower education levels reported more sedentary hours.
  • Results showed that while participants reported being more sedentary on weekdays compared to weekends, education level was linked to self-reported SB but not to objectively measured SB levels.

Background: Sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA) interventions in older adults can improve health outcomes. Problems related with aging include prevalent comorbidity, multiple non-communicable diseases, complaints, and resulting polypharmacy. This manuscript examines the relationship between an intervention aiming at reducing SB on medication patterns.

During COVID-19 pandemic, quality of living was impacted by social isolation, loneliness, and altered sleep habits. The aims of this study were (1) to examine the relationship between physical activity (PA) levels with insomnia and loneliness among adults during Spain's first COVID-19 wave of lockdown and its impact on women and (2) to examine the digital technologic resources used to support both PA and other recreational activities in women. A cross-sectional design was used.

Human movement behaviours such as physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) during waking time have a significant impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in older adults. In this study, we aimed to analyse the association between self-reported and device-measured SB and PA with HRQoL in a cohort of community-dwelling older adults from four European countries. A subsample of 1193 participants from the SITLESS trial (61% women and 75.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has been devastating in all senses, particularly psychologically. Physical activity (PA) is known to aid psychological well-being, and it is worth investigating whether PA has been a coping strategy during this pandemic. The objective of this literature review is to analyze the extent to which engaging in PA during the COVID-19 pandemic impacts psychological health in the adult population.

Background: Sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA) are important determinants of health in older adults. This study aimed to describe the composition of accelerometer-measured SB and PA in older adults, to explore self-reported context-specific SB, and to assess sociodemographic and functional correlates of engaging in higher levels of SB in participants of a multicenter study including four European countries.

Method: One thousand three hundred and sixty community-dwelling older adults from the SITLESS study (61.

Exercise is a form of physical activity (PA). PA is an important marker of health and quality of life in older adults. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature to assess the effect of exercise-based interventions on an at least six-month follow up PA measure, and to describe the specific strategies implemented during the intervention to strengthen the sustainability of PA in community-dwelling 65+ year-old adults.

Article Synopsis
  • SITLESS is a randomized controlled trial aimed at improving exercise referral programs for older adults by adding self-management strategies to reduce sedentary behavior and promote long-term physical activity.
  • The study uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate the implementation and impact of the intervention, including surveys, observations, and interviews with participants and trainers.
  • Ethical approval has been granted, and participants will provide informed consent before joining the study, ensuring that findings will be responsibly shared after the research is completed.

Individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) are at high risk for high levels of sedentary behaviour. To inform the development of programmes to reduce sedentary behaviour, insight into the correlates is needed. Therefore, the aim of this study is to review the evidence on correlates of sedentary behaviour in adults with ID.

Supporting positive change in lifestyle behaviours is a priority in tackling the health inequalities experienced by adults with intellectual disabilities. In this systematic review, we examine the evidence on the definition, measurement and epidemiology of sedentary behaviour of adults with intellectual disabilities. A systematic literature search of PUBMED, EMBASE, MEDLINE and Google Scholar was performed to identify studies published from 1990 up to October 2015.
