This review was conducted to explore evidence and gaps for the impact of motivational interviewing on physical activity outcomes in African Americans. A modified Cochrane method of systematic reviews was used to search relevant research databases (PsycINFO, PubMed/MEDLINE, and SPORTDiscus, Science Citation Index Expanded Social Sciences Citation Index). Relevant articles were reviewed and eliminated in title/abstract and full-text tiers based upon inclusion/exclusion criteria. Of 182 articles, seven randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria and were retained for this review. Only one study showed motivational interviewing to have a significant impact on physical activity outcomes, and several studies showed significant impact on other secondary health-related outcomes (nutrition/dietary intake, body weight/body mass index, cardiovascular/aerobic fitness, motivation, glucose/HBA1C levels, medication adherence, smoking cessation, and improvement in quality of life). This review does not support the use of motivational interviewing to significantly improve physical activity outcomes in African Americans and future studies should conduct more motivational interviewing training and fidelity tests to ensure motivational interviewing-consistent skills as well as conduct more sessions in-person.","PeriodicalId":92549,"journal":{"name":"Journal of physical activity research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43542974","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}

Eleven volunteers with SCI participated in virtual group exercise consisting of mind-body movement practice to build strength, fitness, confidence, and QOL. An experienced community exercise instructor and a trained co-leader with lived experience of SCI co-taught each session. Qualitative group interviews and quantitative measures of QOL, mood, pain interference and leisure time physical activity (LTPA) were obtained at baseline and 8-weeks. Increased QOL and reduced pain interference were found following the program, with moderate-to-large effect sizes for increased LTPA. Strong associations among pain interference, mood, QOL and LTPA change were identified. Our novel tele-exercise program demonstrated promise for utility to increase LTPA engagement while enhancing QOL and well-being in individuals with SCI.","PeriodicalId":92549,"journal":{"name":"Journal of physical activity research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42328324","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}

The paper initially outlines the detrimental effects of inadequate physical activity and suggests reasons for the decreases observed during the pandemic. Further to this, the paper then examines the potential benefits of dance as an alternative/addition to participation in physical activity. Also, the paper discusses the beneficial effects of dance on physiological and psychological parameters and implications for health benefits and social engagement. We hope that the contents of this paper will invigorate individuals and physical activity providers, to consider dance as a viable alternative/addition to traditional physical activity.","PeriodicalId":92549,"journal":{"name":"Journal of physical activity research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42008080","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}

{"title":"Population Attributable Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Associated with not Meeting Physical Activity Guidelines in Montana Adults","authors":"Peter D. Hart","doi":"10.12691/jpar-7-1-1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12691/jpar-7-1-1","url":null,"abstract":"Background : Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the number 1 cause of death in United States (U.S.) with stroke also a leading killer at number 5. Aside from decreased quality of life and increased years of potential life lost (YPLL), cardiovascular disease (CVD) has a major impact on health care costs. While many CVD events can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, data quantifying this are sparse. The aim of this study was to assess the proportion of CVD cases that can be attributed to not meeting physical activity (PA) guidelines in a specific adult population. Methods : The Montana Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS, 2019) was used for this study. A dichotomous PA variable was created indicating whether or not a participant met current PA guidelines. Seven other healthy lifestyle variables were created and included smoking, alcohol consumption, overweight status, vegetable consumption, fruit consumption, and, health coverage. Three different outcome variables were used and included CHD, stroke, and CVD (CHD or stroke). Logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between PA and each CVD outcome while controlling for healthy lifestyle factors and sociodemographic variables. Population attributable risk (PAR) percentages were computed substituting PA odds ratio (OR) values into Levin's formula. Results : Prevalence of reported CHD, stroke, and CVD were 6.7%, 3.1%, and 8.7%, respectively. Additionally, prevalence of each CVD outcome was significantly ( p s < .05) higher in adult groups not meeting PA guidelines, as compared to their more active counterparts. PA was significantly related to CHD (OR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.04 – 1.79) and CVD (OR = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.02 – 1.71) in fully adjusted models and suggestively related to stroke (OR = 1.24, 95% CI: 0.81 – 1.91). PAR analyses indicated that approximately 12.1%, 8.4%, and 10.8% of CHD, stroke, and CVD cases (respectively) could be prevented in Montana with PA intervention. Conclusion : This study found that after controlling for several healthy lifestyle factors, not meeting PA guidelines independently contributes to a sizable number of CVD cases in Montana. Health promotion programming leaders should use such PAR statistics to drive the needs assessment process and plan for PA interventions.","PeriodicalId":92549,"journal":{"name":"Journal of physical activity research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44491117","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}
