Interventions that reduced sedentary time by using TV limiting devices were shown to be effective for children but the results were limited for adults .
Overall , large exercise equipment ( ie .
treadmills ) , and prominent exergaming material s ( exergaming bike , dance mats ) were found to be more effective than smaller devices .
Observational studies revealed that location and quantity of televisions correlated with SD behavior with the latter having a greater effect on girls .
This was similarly found for the quantity of PA equipment which also correlated with behavior in females .
Review s of neighborhood ( macro ) environment characteristics such as the presence of sidewalks and esthetics have shown significant correlations with  resident physical activity ( PA ) and sedentary ( SD ) behavior .
Currently , no comprehensive review has appraised and collected available evidence on the home ( micro ) physical environment .
The purpose of this review was to examine how the home physical environment relates to adult and child PA and SD behaviors .
Home-based video exercise intervention for community-dwelling frail older women: a randomized controlled trial
Background and aims : Home-based exercise is a viable solution for frail elderly individuals with difficulties in reaching exercise facilities outside home . The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a home-based video exercise program on physiological performance , functional capacity and health-related quality of life . Methods : Community-dwelling frail women ≥75 yrs , receiving public home care , were r and omized into a training group ( n=30 ) and a control group ( n=31 ) . Participants exercised for 26 minutes , three times per week for five months . Both groups received a bi-weekly telephone call . The effect of intervention was evaluated by the physical performance test , mobility-tiredness score , maximal isometric h and grip and biceps strength , lower limb explosive power , repeated chair rise ( 5 times ) , 10-m maximal walking-speed , semi-t and em balance , and health-related quality of life , as measured by EQ-5D and self-rated health . Results : Twenty-five participants ( 83 % ) in the training group and 28 ( 90 % ) in the control group completed the project  . Adherence to the training protocol was on average 89.2 % . At follow-up , between-group analysis revealed a significant difference only in EQ-5D ( valued by time-trade-off tariffs ) , result ing from a significant decrease observed in the control group and a trend towards an increase in the training group ( p=0.082 ) . Significant within-group improvements , ranging from 8–35 % , were also observed for the physical performance test , mobility-tiredness score , h and grip , biceps strength , chair rise , and 10-m maximal walking-speed in the training group , and for walking-speed and self-rated health in the control group . Conclusions : These results suggest that home-based training for frail older women using an exercise video induces lasting health-related quality -of-life ( EQ-5D ) . In addition , a tendency towards improvements in physiological performance and functional capacity was observed
