Summary: This study found associations between physical function and activity metrics other than MVPA among older adults, with steps showing a significant relationship with physical function in adults aged 75+. The study also found that worse function was more pronounced in participants with the lowest levels of MVPA. These findings support research on broader activity patterns for improving function in older adults.

Summary: The study found that physical activity has a protective effect on daytime sleep duration in preschool children, while sedentary behavior has a negative impact on nighttime sleep duration. Screen-type sedentary behaviors may lead to a reduction in nighttime sleep duration, but quiet learning sedentary behaviors do not have a significant correlation with sleep duration. Gender and socioeconomic status are important factors influencing the relationship between physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep duration in preschool children.

Summary: The study aims to assess the concurrent validity of the SENS-motion(R) accelerometer system for device-based measurement of physical activity and sedentary behavior in healthy children and adolescents. The results show strong agreement between SENS and observation for walking time, sedentary time, and lying time, while moderate agreement was observed for number of steps, sitting time, and time with and without arm movement. The ICC values were overall moderate to excellent, indicating good concurrent validity.

Summary: This study aimed to provide reference values for accelerometer-based data on physical activity in a background population. A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted on randomly selected individuals aged 18-80 years, using accelerometer-based data and self-reported demographics and health information. The results showed that participants took an average of 6095 daily steps, had an average cadence of 98.5, spent 3.7 hours standing, 1.4 hours walking, 3.8 minutes cycling, 7.0 hours in sedentary activities, and had 43 sit to stand transfers. The findings are important for clinical practice and research as they provide sex- and age-specific reference values for comparing daily physical activity levels.

Summary: This study examined the associations between perceived workplace layout design and workers' active and sedentary behavior in office workers in Japan. The findings showed that local and overall connectivity in open-plan offices were positively associated with work-related physical activity. However, visibility and proximity of co-workers were positively associated with sedentary time. The study provided evidence on the relevance of workplace layout design to workers' active and sedentary behavior.

Summary: Among community-dwelling Japanese older adults, more frequent excursions from home were associated with more PA, less SB, and more-favorable SB patterns, suggesting a potential strategy for preventive health initiatives. The study found that the frequency of excursions from home was associated with physical activity and sedentary behavior in older adults, with slight differences observed between men and women.

Summary: This study examined the impact of 60 minutes of physical activity during school hours on 15-year-olds' MVPA throughout the school day. The results showed that the intervention significantly increased the MVPA of low-active students, possibly bridging social differences in MVPA among adolescents.

Summary: With advances in robotics and telecommunications, robot-assisted teleoperated ultrasound examination can help with medical diagnosis in remote areas, reducing health inequalities. Studies have shown that robots can safely perform ultrasound examinations by following the hand movements of sonographers and researchers. However, real-time transmission of video and ultrasound images requires high bandwidth, and improvements are needed in robot control and interface design.

Summary: Online ergonomics training programs have been proven to be an effective way to support the health, safety, and wellbeing of office workers. A scoping review assessed the design and user-related outcomes of current online office ergonomics training in the scientific literature and provided by Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) authorities. The study found that online training programs focused more on user-related outcomes, while OHS authorities' training was more comprehensive and met design-related targets.

Summary: This study explored the effects of dietary weight loss intervention, with and without exercise, on health-related quality of life, depressive symptoms, and anxiety in premenopausal women. The results showed that the addition of exercise to energy restriction had a significant positive impact on health-related quality of life, depressive symptoms, and state and trait anxiety scores. Exercise can improve mental health and quality of life in women with severe obesity without further weight loss.

Summary: Sedentary behaviours are prevalent in modern society, with Western populations spending approximately 50% of their waking hours in low levels of energy expenditure. This behaviour is associated with cardiometabolic derangements and increased morbidity and mortality. Breaking up sedentariness by interrupting prolonged periods of sitting has been shown to acutely improve glucose management and cardiometabolic risk factors related to diabetes complications in individuals with or at risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the alignment between children's self-reported usual compensation and compensation recall after changes in activity levels, as well as any changes in alignment after periods of activity or inactivity. The findings suggest that there is some consistency between children's self-reported compensation and their recall of compensation. Future research should consider device-measured comparisons and identify characteristics of children at risk of activity compensation in future interventions.

Summary: We found a relationship between beta-blocker use and anthracycline chemotherapy in protecting against TNBC progression, disease recurrence, and mortality. Beta-blockade improved the efficacy of anthracycline chemotherapy in TNBC mouse models by reducing metastatic development. Anthracycline chemotherapy increased sympathetic nerve fiber activity and norepinephrine concentration in mammary tumors, but this effect can be overcome by inhibiting beta 2-adrenergic signaling in the tumor microenvironment.

Summary: This study aimed to establish a consensus on the definition and reporting of activity patterns and components. Through literature search and a Delphi survey, the study identified and achieved consensus on the definition and components of activity patterns. This consensus definition allows for standardization of activity patterns terminology, which is crucial for researchers conducting related studies and informing the development of public health guidelines and interventions.

Summary: This study aimed to identify factors affecting the sustainable implementation and scalability of the Food, Move, Sleep (FOMOS) for Postnatal Mental Health program, including strategies to enhance research-practice translation. Through multi-level implementation and scale-up strategies, aligned with existing health systems, policies and initiatives, enhancing home-based interventions to support postnatal mental health and improve healthy behaviors (quality diet, physical activity, sleep) can be considered for sustainability.
