Systems approaches to global and national physical activity plans

Integrating theoretical approaches to promote physical activity.

CONTEXT Research on the promotion of physical activity has been based on a variety of conceptual models. These models generally target one level of analysis, such as the individual, community, or the environment, and differ in their relative contact with basic or applied science. There have been limited attempts to develop approaches that target multiple levels of analysis and can stimulate bas...

Adaptive Management and Capacity Approaches to Global Climate Change: Local, National, Regional, and Global Political Considerations

Global climate change (GCC), like the global terrorism that chased it from world attention in recent months, eminently threatens life and lifestyles worldwide in highly complex and uncertain ways. Also similarly, any benefits derived from successful actions to address either problem will exhibit considerable public-goods properties: all will benefit to considerable degree and excluding some fro...

Calibration of the global physical activity questionnaire to Accelerometry measured physical activity and sedentary behavior

BACKGROUND Self-report questionnaires are a valuable method of physical activity measurement in public health research; however, accuracy is often lacking. The purpose of this study is to improve the validity of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire by calibrating it to 7 days of accelerometer measured physical activity and sedentary behavior. METHODS Participants (n = 108) wore an ActiG...
