Typologies of activity-related behaviours during adolescence and their transitions: a longitudinal analysis of the ELSPAC cohort.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to identify typologies of activity-related behaviours during adolescence and to explore transitions between the identified typologies. Additionally, we aimed to identify demographic indicators associated with the transitions and typology membership.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Walking self-confidence and lower levels of anxiety are associated with meeting recommended levels of physical activity after hip fracture: a cross-sectional study.

Purpose: To explore whether psychological factors are associated with ability to meet recommended physical activity thresholds after hip fracture.

Materials And Methods: Cross-sectional observational study of 216 community-dwelling adults aged ≥65 years after hip fracture (mean age 79 SD 7 years, 70% female). Multiple ordinal regression analysis determined factors associated with meeting physical activity thresholds related to positive health outcomes: 4,400 and 7,100 daily steps.

Motivational interviewing with community-dwelling older adults after hip fracture (MIHip): protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Community-dwelling people recovering from hip fracture have the physical capacity to walk in their community but lack the confidence to do so. The primary aim of this trial is to determine whether motivational interviewing increases time spent walking at 12 months in community-dwelling people after hip fracture compared with an attention placebo control group. Secondary aims are to evaluate cost effectiveness, patient and health service outcomes and to complete a process evaluation.
