Abstract

Background
Temperament refers to innate differences between individuals, is partly genetically determined, relatively stable across lifespan and expressed through behaviors such as physical activity and sedentary behavior. These two behaviors are known as major determinants of health. Therefore, measuring physical activity and sedentary behaviors temperaments appears to be of interest but no existing questionnaires allow for it among French adults. This study aimed to create and validate a questionnaire to measure physical activity and sedentary behavior temperaments among French adults.

Methods
The questionnaire was created by the Delphi method. Based on an existing questionnaire on eating temperament, 31 experts in physical activity, health psychology and public health were asked to formulate equivalent items to measure physical activity and sedentary behavior temperaments. The test of the psychometric qualities of the questionnaire and its validation will be carried out on three samples of north-eastern French adults: one of 500 to explore internal validity, one of 100 for external validity, and one of 60 for test-retest reliability (4-week interval). Internal validity will be investigated by exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and external validity and test-retest reliability with correlation analyses.

Results
The Delphi method results in a questionnaire of 40 items on physical activity and sedentary behavior temperaments. The test of the psychometric qualities of the questionnaire and its validation are in progress and will be carried out for the congress.

Conclusions
The validation of this questionnaire and its use in practice would help to guide changes in the management of physical activity and sedentary behavior as part of health promotion approach.
P06-13 Movida.Cronos – eHealth app at primary care to fight sedentary behavior
Authors: Morouço Pedro , Carreira Bruno , Pinto Rui 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Health systems play a fundamental and recognized role in promoting physical activity, particularly in the context of primary health care. eHealth is a broad concept that incorporates any area that combines healthcare and technology. This concept is often associated with improvements in process efficiency and cost reduction. Still, high occurrence of physical inactivity demonstrate the importance of developing new eHealth approaches for a more effective actuation. The aim of this work was to develop a new methodology to increase physical activity level, at primary health care.

Methods
A mobile application with web platform was developed to: physical activity prescription and monitoring; registration of biomedical variables, sending messages to users, managing physical activity events at the initiative of users (social network). The application was explained to the medical doctors and data from a case-study was accessed (56 years-old male, Caucasian, single, nuclear family, upper middle class). History of physical inactivity, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and depressive disorder (sertraline 50mg and mexazolam 1mg therapy), body composition, physical and CRP fitness were assessed. International physical activity and Self-perceived quality of life assessment questionnaires were also used.

Results
It was possible to understand that just by talking was not enough to engage the patient on a more active lifestyle. After several failed attempts on counseling for lifestyle changing, patient was referred for using the developed app. Physical exercise tailored plan was prescribed using the Movida.cronos. This tool opened the possibility of assessing patient performance and adherence to the prescribed program (&gt;90%). It allowed a narrow informative channel between the patient and the medical doctor. In three months, the patient reduced form obesity to overweight (-3.4%), decrease his waist circumference (-6.3%), fat mass (-1.8%) and arterial mean pressure (-5.1%); with an associated increase on step test performance.

Conclusions
This case study demonstrate the potential use of eHealth technology, particularly in primary care. Movida.Cronos allowed the prescription and monitoring of performance and adherence levels to the prescribed exercise program. It brings novel perspectives on prescription and remote monitoring of physical exercise, leading to an increased adherence.
P07-05 Romanian GPs knowledge, attitudes and behavior related to physical activity on prescription
Authors: Sandu Petru , Chereches Razvan Mircea , Covaliu Bogdan , Mocean Floarea 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Physical activity on prescription (PAP) - like schemes, have been documented to encourage sustained increases in the levels of physical activity of populations. Although proven effective, these PA promotion schemes have only been implemented high-income countries (eg. Northern/Western Europe). The aim of this study was to explore the opportunity to test PAP (related) schemes in Romania, a developing country.

Methods
In the timeframe May-June 2018 we conducted a transversal study, using an online questionnaire adressed at general practitioners (GPs) in the county of Cluj. The instrument had 4 sections: 1. attitudes/opinions regarding role of GP in PA promotion; 2. GPs (current) behavior related to PA promotion in their practice; 3. Knowledge regarding the recommended PA levels for children, youth and adults; and 4. Socio-professional information.

Results
A number of 84 GPs (out of 350) have completed the questionnaire, for a response rate of aproximatelly 25%, the sample being representative of the population - considering gender distribution and workplace location, urban/rural. The majority of the GPs (78%) stated that their role in PA promotion is limited to broadly disscussing this topic with their patients. The more consultations they have (less time available), the more they are prone to promote PA in their practice (contrary to current literature). Only 1 in 5 GPs have reported the correct number of minutes of PA for both adults and children & youth. The lower measured knowledge, the higher were the self-assessed levels of knowledge regarding PA benefits they report.

Conclusion
Romanian GPs knowledge, attitudes and behavior related to PA prescription/recommendation are strongly influenced by lack of proper information, incentives and/or enforcement. Before attempting to introduce PAP in Romania, more education, awareness and financial/structural resources should be allocated to improve acceptability and feasibility of such PA promotion scheme.
P07-09 Physical activity prescription for chronic disease in Belgium: results of a 6-month intervention led by physical educators

Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Physical activity (PA) prescription has the potential to be an important therapeutic agent for all ages in primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of chronic disease (Thornton et al., 2016). However, physicians report that they do not deliver PA counselling because of limitations in time, knowledge, confidence, and practical tools (Meriwether, Lee, Lafleur, & Wiseman, 2008). Physical educators have the required skills to address those issues in encouraging patients to adopt an active lifestyle that will reduce the incidence of their chronic conditions. In Belgium, physical activity prescription initiatives are emerging: this study aimed at monitoring one of these to ensure the development of evidence-based intervention relying on HEPA best practices.

Methods
With a PA prescription from their doctor, patients with chronic cardiac, neurological, metabolic, oncologic or spinal disease took part to a 6-month intervention supervised by physical educators in a Belgian municipality. The program was composed of weekly sessions of physical exercise focusing on the 4 dimensions of physical fitness according to international recommendations (ACSM, 2016). Monthly motivational sessions were also organized to promote active lifestyle. Monthly assessments included PA level (Ricci & Gagnon,2011), SF-36 (Ware & Sherbourne, 1992), and Senior Fitness Test (Rikli & Jones, 2001).

Results
Preliminary results after one month intervention on 19 patients (68.6 ± 10.8 years) with chronic cardiac (n = 11), neurological (n = 2), metabolic (n = 1), oncological (n = 4) or spinal (n = 1) disease exposed significant improvements of their lower (p = 0.03) and upper (p = 0.01) body strength, and aerobic endurance (p = 0.17). No significant changes were observed for physical activity level and SF-36 scores. Further results will provide information about the impact of motivational sessions on the adoption of an active lifestyle.

Conclusions
Physical activity prescription supervised by physical educators has the potential to bridge the missing link between hospital revalidation performed by health care professionals and autonomous physical activity. If outcomes are favourable, it could provide an advocacy to inspire key decision makers and policies to ameliorate chronic diseases care involving physical educators. Future local interventions should therefore rely on existing guidelines (Inserm, 2019) and support the development of this specific HEPA environment.
P08-04 A protocol for the development of a systems map to identify the factors that influence walking in Cork, Ireland
Authors: Power Dylan , Murphy Niamh , Lambe Barry 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Systems approaches have been used in recent years in addressing complex public health problems such as obesity and physical inactivity. Depicting these ‘wicked' problems through systems maps has helped system actors better understand the entire systems in which these problems exist. Like physical activity (PA) promotion, there are multiple sectors and organisations who have a stake in the promotion of walking. However, their efforts are seldom combined, and stakeholders often work in conceptual silos when tackling the same problem. Walking has been described as a ‘best buy' for public health (Bull and Hardman, 2018). However, walking promotion requires efforts across the entire ecosystem if population-level PA goals are to be reached. The purpose of this study is to generate a systems map of the factors that influence walking in Cork.

Methods
Participants of the workshops all work in Cork, Ireland. Participants remotely attended two online Zoom workshops to develop the systems map. The Australian Systems Map for Physical Activity (Bellew et al., 2020) was used as a framework in the development of the map. Semi-structured interviews (n = 5) were used to supplement the online workshops. A third online workshop is planned for October 2020 to discuss identified interventions.

Outcomes
The systems map provided stakeholders with a new perspective on the complexities of the system and provided a platform to network with organisations outside of their sectors. Semi-structured interviews helped identify barriers and facilitators to working collaboratively and explored the political and commercial environment of the system. Furthermore, 19 potential interventions were identified from the workshop discussions. A selection of these will be discussed in detail in a third workshop in October 2020.

Conclusions
The systems map alone will not increase walking levels across the entire system. However, it will provide stakeholders with a common visual language of the structure of the system. Thus, enabling them to identify where they sit within the system and potential leverage points they can influence. Furthermore, understanding the entire ecosystem of walking in Cork through a systems map may prove useful in other contexts when approaching the complex problem of population-level walking promotion.

Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
Despite an intensive focus on worker health over the last three decades, the prevalence of work-related diseases remain largely unchanged in Denmark and internationally. In recent years, American and Australian researchers have developed new approaches to integrate health promotion, prevention of work-related disease and organization of work. The aim of this study was to examine whether an Integrated Approach to Health, Wellbeing and Productivity at Work (ITASPA) intervention would promote the mental health and wellbeing of workers.

Methods
Two worksites were recruited and offered the intervention and 76 cleaners agreed to participate in the scientific evaluation. At each worksite, employees developed initiatives to improve the psychosocial work environment, building on top of existing work environment programs, practices and procedures. The developed initiatives did not hold any physical activity components. The intervention was planned to run for 12 months, and this analysis presents data from the first of four follow-ups. Data on mental health and wellbeing were obtained using the SF12 and Orebro questionnaires. Using a stepped wedge design, participants functioned as their own controls. Data were analysed using a linear mixed model with random slope and intercept. Intercorrelation of repeated measurements was included in the models as random effect.

Results
The results showed significant decrease in sleeping problems (-4.04, 95% CI, -5,32- -2.75) after the intervention. Moreover, there was a non-significant increase in the amount of time participants had felt relaxed and calm (0.33, 95% CI, -0.10-0.96) and a small non-significant decrease in the amount of time participants had felt sad (-0.004, 95% CI, -0.42-0.41). Finally, results showed a small non-significant increase in how much physical pain had challenged the daily work (0.04, 95% CI, -0.21-0.30).

Conclusion
The findings show that ITASPA intervention led to significantly reduced sleep problems. There was a tendency of improved self-ratings of feeling relaxed and calm as well as reduced feeling sadness. The intervention did not decrease ratings of whether physical pain challenged the daily work, however, the worksites decided to focus on the psychosocial work environment and thus changes in mental health are expected to show greatest effects.
P08-08 Exploring paths of physical activity for city residents using mobile applications and geographic information system
Authors: Duhair Amir , Ghebghoub Yaqouta 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
The built environment is one of the main places where residents engage in their physical activity. Therefore, it is important to identify the track most frequently used by the population. This was done by designing a mobile application that charts the track that residents take when practicing their sports and sends them to a specially designed data hall to arrange and classify information. Since there are no tracks dedicated to exercising in the Jijel city, Algeria; the study aimed to identify the most frequently used tracks, as well as identify the points that constitute an obstacle in those tracks.

Methods
During April-May 2021, 107 people (76 men, 31 women) from city of Jijel (Algeria) participated in the study (Purposive Sample). Participants were provided with a mobile application (APK file) linked to a database that collects and arranges data and mapped with ArcGIS software. The experiment lasted for 30 consecutive days. Where the application was programmed to start automatically at 06:00 am to 09.00 am. The application maps participants' track, and identifying places where deceleration occurs.

Results
Around eighty-two percent (82.2%) chose three main tracks, two coastal tracks (A,B), and a mountain track (C), These are the paths that have been analysed and studied. A total of 2552 hours of data were collected, with an average of 29 hours per person. In the three tracks, there were 18 sub-tracks (less than 10 meters), These sub-paths are distributed as (A:06, B:09, C:03). The coastal tracks (A,B) witnessed a noticeable slowdown in movement speed. This slowdown is related to the presence of obstacles such as unpaved roads, congested traffic points and narrow pedestrian paths, which witness congestion in the morning. The mountain track (C) considered the least slowed path due to the absence of traffic congestion.

Conclusions
The tracks and the three lanes must be rehabilitated in a way that allows residents to engage in physical activity in a smooth and safe manner. Some changes have been suggested in the lanes and marked with signs dedicated, with a recommendation to intervene at 43 obstacles.
P08-12 Equity review of the relationship between the physical environment and physical activity
Authors: Christiansen Lars B , Høyer-Kruse Jens , Pedersen Marlene R. L , Eriksen Mette B , Hansen Anne F 
Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
The impact of the physical environment on physical activity is not equal for all citizens. According to the socioecological theory, moderators of the association can for example be income, education, age, ethnicity and gender. These moderating conditions are important for practice in order to plan and initiate the best solutions for different population groups.

Methods
Based on a systematic review process 1464 studies were screened. After title, abstract and full text reading 41 studies remained and constitute the basis for this presentation.

Results
Citizens with different sociodemographic backgrounds are often geographically divided within cities. Looking at the overall characteristics of urban areas, studies show that citizens with lower incomes and shorter education often live in areas with higher population density and generally shorter distances to daily destinations. Conversely, citizens with higher incomes and longer education often have better access to trails, sidewalks and sports facilities. Several of the included studies find that access to facilities is inferior for low-income citizens, but other studies indicate that social and personal factors also play a role in the use of the areas. Adding to this, some evidence possits a lower adoption of for example new bike trails for citizens with shorter education. This leads many of the studies to recommend holistic efforts where improvements in the built environment are initiated simultaneously with other types of efforts that strengthen information, skills and motivation for physical activity. For example, combine cheaper or free access to sports facilities or gyms with marketing and beginners' courses. Another important finding from the equity review is a focus on safety from crime and traffic, which more often is a problem in low income areas, and at the same time a larger perceived barrier for women and elderly people.

Conclusion
The interplay between sociodemographic characteristic and the physical environment is complex, but the review points to some important findings.
P08-15 More active parents, more active children: Association between mode of commuting and physical activity

Published: August 2022

Abstract

Background
A substantial body of research have shown that parents' behaviours are closely linked to children's behaviours. Although some studies have reported positive association between parents' and youths' physical activity, especially in same sex (father-son; mother-daughter), further studies are required to strengthen these preliminary findings. The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between fathers' and mothers' physical activity and mode of commuting and sons' and daughters' physical activity and mode of commuting.

Methods
This cross-sectional study included 1,372 participants, 686 parents (43.4±6.5 years; mothers: 52.8%) and 439 children (age: 9.7±1.7 years; girls: 65.1%) and 246 adolescents (14±1.7 years; girls: 68.3%). Each participant completed a self-report questionnaire on physical activity (Parents: IPAQ; Children: YAP) and commuting patterns (PACO: Pedalea y Anda al Cole). The parents completed and signed an informed consent on the characteristics of the study, which was approved by the corresponding ethics committee. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, and frequency distribution) and chi-square test (p &gt; 0.05) were used to examine this association. Odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval 95% (CI) were used to determine the degree of association.

Results
Most of the sample did not meet Physical activity recommendations, particularly adolescents and parents (children: 46.4%; adolescents: 6.5%; and parents: 7.2%). Less than one third of the sample commute to school/work actively (children: 31.6%; adolescents: 31.0%; and parents: 31.6%). Only the fathers' physical activity was positively associated with their female childreńs physical activity (OR = 2,477, 95%CI: 1,144-5,362). A positive association between fathers' active commuting to work and their children' commuting to school was only found in girls (Girls OR = 2,890, 95%CI: 1,336-6,251), but this relationship was not found in boys' children and adolescents. And another association was found between motherśactive commuting to work and their childreńs commuting (Girls OR = 3,242, 95%CI: 1,343-7,828; Boys OR = 6,381, 95%CI: 2,530-16,091), but not with adolescents.

Conclusions
Parent's physical activity and active commuting to work are closely linked to their children's physical activity and active commuting to school, especially in girls. This study emphasizes the importance to involve parents in school-based interventions to create a positive ripple effect in Physical activity-related behaviours.
