Novel sedentary behaviour measurement methods: application for self-monitoring in adults by James P. Sanders

“…One method that has shown promise in interventions to increase physical activity and healthy eating in adults is the behaviour change technique of self-monitoring. There is now a robust set of literature indicating self-monitoring as the most promising behaviour change technique in this area. …”

Ischaemic preconditioning improves upper-body endurance performance without altering ⩒O₂ kinetics by David Bellini, Chris Chapman, Donald Peden, Sven Hoekstra, Richard Ferguson, Christof Leicht

“…Methods: Eleven recreationally-active males (24 ± 2 years) completed an arm-crank graded exercise test to exhaustion to determine the power outputs at the ventilatory thresholds (VT1 and VT2) and ⩒O2peak (40.0 ± 7.4 ml·kg-1·min-1). …”

Supplementary information files for Sedentary behaviour, but not moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, is associated with respiratory responses to acute psychological stress by Aiden Chauntry, Nicolette Bishop, Mark Hamer, Nicola Paine

“…In adjusted models (with the inclusion of sedentary behaviour, MVPA, and other a priori selected covariates) hours of daily sedentary behaviour were associated with baseline to stress changes in BF (Β = 0.695, 95% CI = 0.281 — 1.109, p =.014), VT (Β = -0.042, 95% CI = -0.058 — -0.026, p =.014), PetCO2 (Β = -0.537, 95% CI = -0.829 — -0.245, p =.014), V̇CO2 (Β = -0.008, 95% CI = -0.014 — -0.003, p =.030), and RER (Β = -0.013, 95% CI = -0.021 — -0.005, p =.022). …”
