Interventions integrating physical activity into organizational routine during everyday life have demonstrated modest but consistent benefits , particularly for physical activity , and these are promising avenues of investigation .
The proportionately longer-term outcomes available in these studies compared with individual-level studies suggest that physical activity promotion strategies at the organizational level may be more sustainable
CONTEXT Recommended daily physical activity accumulated in short intervals ( e.g. , < 10 minutes ) may be more feasible and appealing to the relatively sedentary populace than longer bouts .
The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic review of the evidence for the effectiveness of short activity bouts incorporated into organizational routine as part of the regular " conduct of business . "
The Health-e-AME Faith-Based Physical Activity Initiative: Description and Baseline Findings
This article provides an overview of the development , implementation , and baseline findings from a statewide faith-based physical activity ( PA ) initiative . The 3-year program is training African Method ist Episcopal volunteers across South Carolina to implement  programs to increase  PA  in their congregations . To date , 98 churches have been trained . Interviews done with a r and om sample ( n = 39 ) indicated that 54 % are implementing at least one PA program . The baseline telephone survey  ( N = 571 ) estimates that 27.8 % of the population is regularly active  , 54.9 % underactive , and 17.3 % sedentary . Baseline rates of regular PA  were higher in those who were younger , healthier , and nonsmokers . Challenges to date have included obtaining rosters and implementing a large-scale program with limited re sources . Interest in the program has been strong and supported by church leaders . Current efforts are on training additional churches and working with those already trained to support sustainability
