What Do Secondary Schools Need to Create Healthier Canteens? The Development of an Implementation Plan
The Netherlands Nutrition Centre developed guidelines to improve the availability and accessibility of healthier food products in Dutch canteens.
Protocol of the Physicians Implement Exercise = Medicine (PIE=M) Development and Implementation Project
The prescription of physical activity (PA) in clinical care has been advocated worldwide.
Engagement, Acceptability, Usability, and Preliminary Efficacy of a Self-Monitoring Mobile Health Intervention to Reduce Sedentary Behavior in Belgian Older Adults
Although healthy aging can be stimulated by the reduction of sedentary behavior, few interventions are available for older adults.
Scaling up population health interventions from decision to sustainability - a window of opportunity?
In recent years, much attention has focused on developing frameworks and methods for scale-up yet, in practice, the pathway for scale-up is seldom linear and may be highly dependent on contextual circumstances.
Athlete health protection: Why qualitative research matters
Qualitative research is increasingly recognised as relevant and useful to uncovering and understanding new and differentiated insights that move both research and practice forward.
Return on Investment Dynamic Work Intervention
To assess the cost-effectiveness and return-on-investment (ROI) of the Dynamic Work (DW) Intervention, a worksite intervention aimed at reducing sitting time among office workers.
5- and 10-year cost-effectiveness EuroFIT
Increasing physical activity reduces the risk of chronic illness including Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain types of cancer.
Barriers for academics to conduct D&I research
Ineffective research-practice translation is a major challenge to population health improvement.
Effectiveness dynamic work intervention to reduce sitting time
The aim of this study was to evaluate the Dynamic Work intervention by determining its effect on total sitting time at the 8-month follow-up in comparison to the control.
Implementation of school-based physical activity in real-world settings: review
Schools are an ideal setting to intervene, yet despite many interventions in this setting, success when delivered under real-world conditions or at scale is limited.
Time trends in correlates of self-reported sitting time in European adults
This study explores trends in the prevalence of high sitting time and its correlates among “high sitting” and “high sitting-least active” European adults from 2002 to 2017.
Active transport to school in children: review and meta-analysis
The systematic review investigated the effectiveness of active travel (AT) interventions on physical activity and fitness in primary school children.
Correlates of domain-specific sedentary time of adults in the Netherlands
Relatively little is known about how total sedentary time is accumulated in different domains and if correlates of sedentary time differ across domains.
Implementation science to reduce sport and exercise-related injury
This manuscript aims to provide guidance for sports and physical activity injury researchers and practitioners to perform implementation research and practice.
Dynamic Work: Study Protocol
To reduce sitting time of office workers working for a Dutch insurance company, the Dynamic Work intervention was developed.
Effectiveness EuroFIT programme
This paper investigates the effectiveness of the European Fans in Training (EuroFIT) programme to improve physical activity and sedentary time in male football fans, delivered through the professional football setting.
Measuring fidelity in school-based obesity prevention programs
Until now, there is no clear overview of how fidelity is assessed in school-based obesity prevention programmes.
Correlates of sitting time in Dutch and Belgian adults
As the detrimental health effects of sedentary behaviour are well established, insight into the individual and environmental factors that influence adults’ sedentary behaviour is needed.
