positive effects on duration of MVPA, TV viewing and v02 max

Q

Community interventions-work place

move to improve (Dishman et al. 2009)
12 week interventions at various sites within an organisation involved the following:

A

utlised individual goal setting- gradual increases in 10 minute bouts of MVPA and step counts

Team goals- 75% of team reaching 150 mins/week MVPA and/ or 10,000 steps each day

Incentives

Senior management endorsement

environmental prompts and education

20
Q

Q

Mummery and Brown (2008) aim to increase physical activity in the adult population of rockhampton , Australia

Downstream:
Midstream:
upstream:

A

Downstream: promotion of PA by health professionals- promotion material and training in PA counselling

Midstream: Marketing strategies- maintain the brand “10,000 steps”

upstream: environmental support for physical activity
- repair key footpaths
- erecting 10k step signs
- distributing maps to encourage walking

28
Q

Results of rockhamptom 10k steps?

A

results show large increase in population achieving recommended activity levels from 2001 to 2003

95% were aware of 10k steps at follow-up
18% had used a pedometer in the last 17 months (vs. 6% Mackay population)

27% recieved PA advice from HP (Up from 23%)

conclusion: was effective at preventing declines in PA
Women seem to be early adopters

29
Q

Advice from Mummery and brown 2008) on implementing wider community interventions included?

A
  • important to involv the community in planning and implementation
    -seek support from a range of public, private and commercial sectors, not just health sectors
    -take time to build good relationships with all those involved in the project

    -environmental factors can facilitate and impede PA - need to attend to both
    -different intervention
    strategies will need to be evaluated differently
