|
To analyze the prevalence of behavior, change stages and the main barriers or reasons that prevent or difficult the regular PA practice |
64,6% of the elderly in the study did not practice PA regularly |
The majority of the elderly is on pre-contemplation stage and the sex does not influence on the perceived barriers |

|
To teach older adults to recognize and modify their thoughts, or interpretation, about exercise |
Therapy and educational groups increased their strengthening exercises over time |
Although the therapy group increased their strengthening exercises, they decreased their 6-minutes walking distance |

|
To quantify and describe habitual active and SB in older |
Walking behavior, SB and postural transitions accounted for total variance of the model |
Walking, sedentary and transitions behavior explains together daily functions |

|
To test the overall hypothesis that excess screen-based SB is inversely associated with muscle strength |
Participants who viewed more TV had a lower strength than who viewed less TV |
In elderly, association between sedentary activities and physical function are linked to context (TV viewing time) |
| Anokye and Stamatakis2727 Anokye NK, Stamatakis E. Different conceptual constructs for modelling sedentary behaviour and physical activity: the impact on the correlates of behaviour. BMC Res Notes 2014;7:921.
|
To test the interdependent nature of PA and SB and to compare two different modelling frameworks, namely independent equations using objectively-assessed PA and SB |
People spend 47 minutes undertaking SB per valid day; older individuals, were associated with lower level of MVPA; SB was positively correlated with age, and the MVPA equation was found to be correlated with SB’s equation (r=-0.156; p<0.001) |
Studies with accelerometers suggest that accounting for the independent nature of physical activity and SB results in more efficient estimates |

|
To investigate the stability of the activity about a 10-year-period |
There was a trend in decreasing levels of activity and reduction in vigorous activity over time |
Time spent in vigorous activities decreased over time and several sociodemographic factors were associated with chance of being persistently active |

|
To investigate diurnal variations in measured Light PA, Moderate-to-Vigorous PA and SB is modified by key demographic, health status and health conditions |
Time spent with SB was lower in the morning meanwhile and increased throughout the day |
Levels of moderate-vigorous PA are higher in the morning and decreases during the day |

|
To explore the SB in elderly participating in an intervention test with exercise and to investigate which health, demographic and social factors are associated with SB |
The probability of being categorized as sedentary augmented with an abnormal BMI. Participants reporting better physical health had lower odds ratio of being sedentary |
In general, older participants will respond positively to join in an exercise group |

|
To investigate the participation in game weekly activities in the treatment outcomes |
Behavioral activation was associated to a reduction in depressive symptoms. Participant’s total number of reported activities was not associated with their improvements in symptoms |
Independent of the specific type or total mount, activation activities may be associated with improvements of symptomatology |

|
To establish gender-specific characteristics of PA and sedentary behavior in elderly |
Detected that more energy is spent on the housework and PA in the country (moderate-intensity PA for women and high-intensity one for men) |
Showed no statistically significant gender-specific differences in general PA. SB is more popular among men rather than women |

|
To explore socio-demographic and clinical factors that are associated with regular exercise |
Participant’s knowledge of the benefits of regular physical activities, opportunities to socialize, encouragement by health care workers and availability of exercise facilities and trainers promote regular physical exercise. |
Significant proportion of the elderly do not engage in regular physical exercise, and this behavior is influenced by personal health status and systems-related motivators and barriers. |
