The purpose of this study was to report device-measured PA and sedentary time for individuals with ID (age 10–70 yr) eligible to participate in PA promotion (i.e., self-reported PA <60–90 min·wk−1) and weight loss (i.e., body mass index ≥25 kg·m−2) clinical trials. We aimed to examine patterns of PA by diagnosis within a day and across days and US meteorological seasons.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 This cross-sectional study used baseline accelerometer data from individuals with ID participating in clinical trials. The Troiano adult and Freedson child cut-points were used to classify sedentary time and PA, and Wilcoxon rank sum or Kruskal–Wallis tests assessed differences by age, diagnosis, weekday versus weekend, time of day, and season. Mixed effects linear regressions explored the effect of time of day, weekend, and season on PA and sedentary time.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 There were 330 individuals (57% female) who had valid wear time with an average of 14 ± 18 min·d−1 of moderate-to-vigorous PA (age 10–17 yr: 13 ± 16 min·d−1; age 18–24 yr: 18 ± 23 min·d−1; age ≥25 yr: 12 ± 13 min·d−1). Fewer minutes of moderate-to-vigorous PA were observed on the weekends (β = −0.10, P < 0.001) and in the morning (before 0900 h, β = −0.23, P < 0.001) and evening (after 1900 h, β = −0.32, P < 0.001) compared to weekdays and late afternoon (1500–1659h).\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 The promotion of PA to individuals with ID is needed, particularly during times when these individuals are not in school or at work (i.e., mornings, evenings, and weekends).

We conducted a prospective longitudinal study. Custom surveys were administered before and after the workshop and 1 month later to capture contextual variables needed to evaluate the program using four of the five RE-AIM domains. Live workshops were conducted at community centers throughout the northeastern US, and coaches were trained on risk factors for ACL injuries and how to identify and correct musculoskeletal movements known to increase ACL injury risk. Three hundred and seventy-three coaches attended the workshop, but 171 (46.4%; mean age, 33 ± 10 yr; 58% male) completed pre- and post-workshop surveys demonstrating significant improvements (P < 0.0001) in measures of program effectiveness, including knowledge (8.1%), attitudes/beliefs (18.0%), and confidence (39.6%). Overall, 98% of coaches were satisfied with the workshop delivery quality and content. Fifty-three coaches completed a 1-month follow-up survey, 75.5% of whom reported adoption of the ACL IRP. Of these, 100% reported implementing the ACL IRP before practice/training sessions, and 97.5% reported implementing it before games/competitions. Overall, the results of this evaluation demonstrate the ACL IRP workshop feasibility and provide guidance for enhancement of the workshop. Our ACL IRP workshop was effective at increasing coaches’ knowledge and perspectives about injury risk reduction principles. Although the behavioral strategies incorporated in the program design promoted high ACL IRP workshop satisfaction, further improvements are needed to increase survey response rates during post-workshop follow-up.","PeriodicalId":506614,"journal":{"name":"Exercise, Sport and Movement","volume":"2 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139262621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
