Summary: This study tested the changeability and temporal stability of physical activity-related health competence (PAHCO) in office workers and examined its effects on leisure-time physical activity (PA) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The results showed that PAHCO increased significantly after a workplace health promotion program and remained stable during follow-up measurements. The subscales of PAHCO related to self-regulation and control competence had positive effects on leisure-time PA and HRQOL.

Summary: The study found a significant relationship between Physical Activity-related Health Competence (PAHCO) and leisure-time physical activity, physical health, and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in office workers in Germany. Leisure-time physical activity acted as a positive mediator for the association between PAHCO and physical health, but not for the association between PAHCO and MetS. These findings highlight the importance of PAHCO in promoting physical health and preventing MetS in office workers.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the utility of different physician referral and engagement processes for improving the reach of a weight management program for rural primary care patients. Results suggest that letter referral with active telephone follow-up (ATF) may be the most effective option for enrolling a large number of patients in a digitally delivered weight management program. The recruitment costs were also influenced by the different referral methods used.
