Authors: Harry John R. , Eggleston Jeffrey D. , Dunnick Dustin D. , Edwards Hannah , Dufek Janet S. 
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT
Although walking workstations do not seem to compromise task performance despite altered gait kinematics, current evidence stems from evaluations of relatively simple tasks that do not reflect typical work duties.

Purpose
This study aimed to examine the effects of simple cognitive (SC) and complex cognitive (CC) tasks on gait kinematics during walking workstation use in comparison to baseline walking.

Methods
Three-dimensional kinematic data of the lower extremity and trunk were collected while walking during baseline, SC, and CC conditions, with each condition performed at a self-selected velocity. Kinematic data were time normalized to 100% of the gait cycle and divided into subphases for analysis. Differences in walking velocity (baseline vs SC/CC) and task performance (SC vs CC) were tested using paired-samples t-test (α = 0.05). Kinematic data were tested for differences between baseline and SC, baseline and CC, and SC and CC using a point-to-point model statistic analysis (α = 0.05) at the single-subject level.

Results
Walking velocity was not different between baseline and SC/CC (1.10 ± 0.25 m·s−1, baseline; 1.11 ± 0.26 m·s−1, SC/CC; P = 0.409), nor was task performance time different between SC and CC (81.1 ± 25.6 s, SC; 87.6 ± 17.7 s, CC; P = 0.394). Similar percentages of differences were detected across participants during each gait subphase for all lower extremity joint angles during SC and CC when compared with baseline. A greater percentage of differences were observed in trunk angles during SC than during CC when compared with baseline.

Conclusions
Results indicate that trunk kinematics are influenced by task difficulty during walking workstation use, although lower extremity kinematics are not affected regardless of task difficulty. Thus, walking workstations do not compromise task performance during work-related tasks and walking safety does not seem threatened by tasks of greater difficulty.

ABSTRACT

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of implementing ten 3-min moderate to vigorous physical activity breaks in the classroom.

Methods
Twenty third- through sixth-grade classrooms (approximately 500 students) in three schools across southeast Michigan: one suburban (90% white; 25% qualified for free/reduced lunch [FRL]), one rural (90% white; 50% FRL) and one urban (59% black; 74% FRL), participated in this 16-wk intervention. Before the start of the intervention, participating teachers were trained during a 2-d school-based in-service. Direct observation was used to assess 1) intervention fidelity, 2) exercise intensity of activity breaks (AB), 3) duration of AB, 4) transition time to start an AB, and 5) students returning to task post-AB. Postintervention, teachers completed surveys to document the number of AB per day to comment on the feasibility of the intervention. Students completed the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale questionnaire and answered a single-item question from the Physical Activity Self-Efficacy Scale to assess AB enjoyment and confidence, respectively.

Results
On average, teachers implemented five AB per day (average duration: 202 s) with approximately 85% of students and 75% of teachers exercising at a moderate to vigorous intensity during a given AB; approximately 99% of students returned to a teacher-assigned task within 30 s of completing the break. Students reported high levels of AB enjoyment and confidence.

Conclusions
These preliminary findings suggest that ten 3-min AB are not feasible for a classroom setting because teachers on average implemented only five AB. Nevertheless, children accumulated over 16 min of activity in the classroom, most of which were moderate to vigorous physical activity minutes enabling teachers to provide approximately half of the school-based recommendations for physical activity in their classrooms.
Perspectives on High School “Pay to Play” Sports Fee Policies: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Eyler Amy A. , Valko Cheryl , Serrano Natalicio 
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT

Background
Participation in high school athletics is associated with many physical and psychosocial benefits. School budget cuts and increased program costs have resulted in policies requiring student athletes to pay fees for sports participation. The purpose of this study was to explore the implementation and perception of these policies among state and district key informants.

Methods
We conducted an Internet search to compile a list of state and district athletic directors for study recruitment to participate in qualitative interviews. Twelve key informants were interviewed via telephone, digitally audio-recorded, and the conversations transcribed verbatim. Two team members coded transcripts and themes were identified and summarized.

Results
The main reasons for implementing fee policies were increasing program costs, revenue loss or decreased school budget, and unsuccessful levy passage. The policies varied in fee structure and were reported by sport, by athlete, by year, or by family. Participants discussed fee waivers as a strategy to assist athletes unable to pay the sports participation fees. Waivers were most likely linked with federal poverty qualifications.

Conclusion
The results from these interviews provided insights into sports participation policies in U.S. high schools. More information is needed to explore the consequences of these policies on high school sports participation as well as longer-term outcomes.
Integrating Exercise into the Electronic Medical Record: A Case Series in Oncology
Authors: Santa Mina Daniel , Cutrono Stacy Edyth , Rogers Laura Q. 
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT
The Exercise is Medicine campaign initiated by the American College of Sports Medicine is intended to advance the integration of exercise into formalized medical care through strategic linkages between health care systems, providers, health-related digital technologies, and available exercise programs. Exercise is established as a fundamental element of comprehensive cancer care and given the critical role of the electronic medical record (EMR) in health care communication, optimizing the use of the EMR by qualified exercise professionals and for exercise-related referrals may improve clinical outcomes. The purpose of this article is to describe the strategies, facilitators, barriers, and opportunities in implementing exercise information in the EMR in three cancer centers in North America: The University of Alabama at Birmingham, the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. The collective experience of three cancer centers identifies the diverse opportunities and challenges in connecting exercise programming with the EMR. The implementation of exercise programming, resources, and linkages in the EMR is complex, involves numerous stakeholders, and can be mapped against the Consolidated Framework of Implementation Research. Methods of establishing communication or referral pathways to exercise programs described here can serve as precedents for similar endeavors. Further research is needed to determine whether implementation strategies that target identified implementation science constructs can facilitate the implementation of exercise programming via EMR where the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research may serve as a useful empirical framework.

Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTThe current analysis evaluates cumulative benefits after year 2 of a school-based resistance training intervention. Adolescent girls were enrolled and measured at the beginning of sixth grade (baseline [BL]) and again at first follow-up (Y1 end) and second follow-up (year 2 end). School gym classes met alternate school days. Site 1 had standard gym classes (CON). Site 2 gym classes included 8–12 min of resistance training (INT); INT girls were categorized based on observed participation effort and time (LO, HI). Measurements included the following: 1) height and weight, 2) questionnaires to assess extracurricular exercise and diet (calcium, vitamin D), and 3) dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (Lunar Prodigy). Whole body less head scans yielded bone mineral content (BMC) and body composition. Lumbar spine (L1–L4) and femoral neck (FN) scans yielded BMC and areal bone mineral density (BMD); radius scans yielded ultradistal and 1/3 BMD. ANCOVA compared group means for percent gains from BL to second follow-up, accounting for biological maturity, BL height, height change, interscan interval, organized activity, calcium, and vitamin D. In 62 girls (21 CON, 41 INT), intention-to-treat analyses detected INT versus CON advantages for L1–L4 BMC and BMD (4.1%, 5.6%:P< 0.05). HI effort participants (n= 19) demonstrated advantages for BMC and BMD at L1–L4 and FN (5.7% to 8.2%,P< 0.01) versus CON. Over two school years, this resistance intervention yielded lumbar spine advantages; enthusiastic participation (HI) yielded lumbar spine and FN advantages. Further work is warranted to evaluate benefit persistence after intervention cessation.

ABSTRACT
Bone stress injuries (BSI) may be classified as high- or low-risk based on the anatomic location of injury and by grade based on severity. Kaeding grade II (K-GII) BSI are characterized by symptomatic marrow or periosteal edema without a fracture line. This retrospective cohort study aims to compare outcomes between high- and low-risk K-GII BSI. We hypothesize that patients with high- and low-risk K-GII BSI experience similar recovery rates. Data were collected via chart review on all patients at a primary care clinic with a magnetic resonance imaging–confirmed diagnosis of K-GII BSI during a 15-month surveillance period. High- and low-risk patients were compared for two primary outcomes—time to become asymptomatic and time to return to activity—and for the secondary outcome of treatments received. A total of 129 K-GII BSI were sustained by 87 patients. For all patients diagnosed with a K-GII BSI, the mean time to become asymptomatic was 40 ± 27 d, and the mean time to return to activity was 49 ± 31 d. There was no difference in time to become asymptomatic (P = 0.762) or to return to activity (P = 0.164) between high-risk (n = 20) and low-risk (n = 67) patients. Treatment modalities were similar between the two groups. All K-GII BSI healed with nonoperative treatment at similar rates, regardless of classification as high- or low-risk, to include tarsal navicular and talus BSI. Early identification of BSI, before progression to a fracture line, leads to favorable results for both high- and low-risk K-GII BSI.

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Despite irrefutable health benefits of physical activity, older adults remain among the least active Canadians. To achieve population health, physical activity interventions that proved effective in controlled research settings must be delivered at scale to reach broader populations of older adults across multiple settings. Formative evaluations are essential, as they identify barriers and enablers to implementation across levels of stakeholder groups and settings. Thus, we conducted a formative evaluation of a choice- and evidence-based physical activity intervention (Men on the Move) designed for scalability.

Methods
We adopted key elements of two implementation frameworks that place characteristics of the innovation, prevention delivery system, prevention support system, and prevention synthesis and translation system at the core of implementation success. Guided by the Interactive Systems Framework for Dissemination and Implementation, data were collected from delivery partners, including 1 leader from a key provincial recreation organization, 6 recreation directors/coordinators and 3 activity coaches, and 14 participants (older men). This research team participated in prevention support and prevention synthesis and translation systems. Two trained interviewers conducted telephone interviews with delivery partners, and five trained interviewers and a notetaker conducted in-person interviews with participants.

Results
Five themes emerged from analyses of delivery partner interviews: support, activity coaches, intervention delivery, Men on the Move continuation, and the absence of men. Two themes emerged from our analyses of participant data: monitoring and connectedness.

Conclusion
Lessons learned from this formative evaluation will guide the adaptation of the intervention to context and population for scale-up across British Columbia, Canada. In so doing, we aim to bridge the know–do–scale-up gap, which is imperative as we seek to improve older adult health at the population level.
Prescription Thyroid Replacement Does Not Affect Outcomes in an Intensive Weight Reduction Program
Authors: Dembrowski Gerald C. , Barnes Jessica W. 
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT
With the complex role of the thyroid in metabolism and conflicting evidence of weight gain or loss as a result of prescription thyroid hormone replacement (THR), it is important to understand how THR affects weight loss beyond the standard measures of body weight % and body mass index (BMI). We examined differences in body composition improvement in individuals taking and not taking THR over 60 d of an intensive weight loss program. The 20Lighter Program (T20LP), a doctor-supervised weight loss and metabolic health program, included 6 wk of patent-pending very low calorie meal plans and a 3-wk customized transition back to a normal dietary intake. Of 2200 participants completing T20LP by December 31, 2017, ~10% reported taking prescription THR. From initial baseline to 60 d, T20LP participants from both groups showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in body weight, BMI, % body fat, visceral fat, metabolic age, and increases in % body water. To our knowledge, our study is the first large-scale analysis comparing weight loss outcomes in participants who take THR and participants who do not. Our data show both groups do equally well with respect to % body weight lost, BMI reduction, body fat and visceral fat reduction, and improvement in tissue hydration, and we found no disadvantage in any physiologic or metabolic outcome in weight loss participants on THR. Weight loss participants requiring prescription THR are capable of achieving body composition and metabolic improvements on par with those who do not require prescription THR.

ABSTRACT
Nearly 10% of adult Americans have type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), yet 25% are undiagnosed. Our purpose was to compare body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) as predictors for type 2 DM in adults 40 to 59 yr of age. We hypothesized that BMI, WC, and WHtR would predict hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥6.5%, diagnostic of diabetes. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 2003 to 2004 (N = 1069) and 2013 to 2014 (N = 906) were used in logistic regression models. There were differences in ethnic/racial distribution in the 2003 to 2004 and 2013 to 2014 sample. BMI, WC, and WHtR were higher in 2003 to 2004 than 2013 to 2014 (BMI, 29.5 vs 25.7 kg·m−2; WC, 99.8 vs 87.1 cm; WHtR, 0.59 vs 0.55, respectively, each P < 0.0001). In 2003 to 2004, WC (odds ratio = 2.65, 95% confidence interval = 1.57–4.48) and WHtR (odds ratio = 2.91, 95% confidence interval = 1.69–5.04) predicted HbA1c ≥ 6.5%, but BMI did not. In 2013 to 2014, BMI, WC, or WHtR did not predict HbA1c ≥ 6.5%. WC or WHtR may suggest risk of type 2 DM in some populations.

ABSTRACT
This study aimed to compare the effects of aerobic training at self-selected intensity (SIE) and predetermined intensity (PIE) on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in adolescents with obesity. Randomized clinical trial conducted with 37 adolescents (boys and girls), 13–18 yr old, at Tanner stages 3–4, and body mass index ≥95th. Eighteen adolescents were randomly assigned to SIE and 19 to PIE. Aerobic training sessions consisted of 35 min of training on a treadmill, three times per week, for 12 wk. SIE group chose the speed/intensity at the beginning of each training session and was able to change it every 5 min. PIE group trained at a PIE of 60%–70% of heart rate reserve. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory was used in to measure HRQOL. Twenty-five adolescents completed the experimental protocol (SIE = 13 and PIE = 12). Heart rate during sessions was higher for PIE than SIE. Both groups decreased body mass (SIE from 100.7 ± 21.85 to 92.1 ± 25.20 kg; PIE from 98.9 ± 24.93 to 88.1 ± 12.91 kg; P = 0.01), body mass index (SIE from 37.4 ± 7.24 to 33.7 ± 8.55 kg·m−2; PIE from 37.3 ± 7.15 to 33.4 ± 5.48 kg·m−2; P < 0.01), and sum of skinfold thickness (SIE from 180.4 ± 26.33 to 163.5 ± 25.04 mm; PIE from 174.00 ± 28.55 to 149.00 ± 32.10 mm; P = 0.01) without group differences. PIE improved HRQOL at social functioning (PIE from 70.0 ± 15.9 vs to 80.9 ± 13.75; P = 0.02). Compared with PIE exercise, SIE did not induce additional improvements in HRQOL in adolescents with obesity.
