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 .
Predicting the effect of interactive video bikes on exercise adherence: An efficacy trial
Exercise games that employ video game technology are increasing in the marketplace but have received scant research attention despite their popularity . The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of videobike gaming on the constructs of the theory of planned behavior ( TPB ) and adherence in comparison to a cycling condition where participants listen to self-selected music . Participants were 29 inactive young men assigned r and omly to experimental ( n = 16 ) or comparison ( n = 13 ) conditions . The recommended training regime consisted of moderate intensity activity ( 60–75 % heart rate reserve ) , 3 days/week for 30 min/day for 6 weeks . At the end of the first session , participants were asked to complete  TPB measures and these were subsequently measured 6 weeks later . Attendance was used as the measure of adherence . Results showed that affective attitude and adherence across the 6 weeks significantly favored the videobike condition over the comparison condition . Regression analyses suggested partial mediation of the effect of the videobike condition on adherence via affective attitude . This is the first study to provide evidence that interactive videobikes may improve adherence over traditional cycling because the activity produces higher affective attitudes . The results are promising for exp and ing to community-based evaluation
