▼ Our society has become increasingly sedentary, which has resulted in numerous health complications. For example, there has been an increase in blood sugar regulation abnormalities, which can lead to pre-diabetes and eventually type 2 diabetes. This dissertation focuses on working women whom, upon initial screening, demonstrated a fasting blood sugar greater than 100 mg/dl. The participants completed two separate trials; 1) sitting and standing while completing an oral glucose tolerance test at work; and 2) sitting for one week followed by standing for one week at work while wearing a continuous glucose monitor and an accelerometer. The first Manuscript (Chapter 4) summarizes a randomized, cross-over pilot study evaluating the acute effect of standing at work on postprandial glucose. Results indicated a trend towards an improved postprandial glucose response during standing (Glucose iAUC = -124.9 ± 481.7, 95% CI [-386.7, 137]) relative to sitting. Manuscript II (Chapter 5) summarized a repeated measures pilot study examining the effect of standing in the workplace on blood glucose regulation over a one week period among women with impaired fasting glucose. Sedentary time significantly predicted blood glucose independent of physical acitivity (p = .015). Manuscript III (Chapter 6), also a repeated measures study, is a brief report examining the effect of a sit-stand desk on sedentary time during the work day among pre-diabetic adults. A nonsignificant reduction in sedentary time was found in the life, health, and combined life and health zones in the sit-stand condition relative to the sitting condition (life: 1.37 ± 2.77; 95% CI [-0.35, 3.08]; health: 0.55 ± 1.56; [-0.42, 1.52]; life and health: 1.92 ± 3.44; [-0.21, 4.05]; zone intensities are life < 2 mph, health 2-4.5 mph, and sport > 4.5 mph). Additional research should recruit larger sample sizes and examine the long-term effect of reducing sedentary time on blood glucose among working adults with impaired fasting glucose.

▼ Aims The aim of this cross sectional study is to explore levels of physical activity and sitting behaviour amongst a sample of pregnant Australian women (n = 81), and investigate whether reported levels of physical activity and/or time spent sitting were associated with depressive symptom scores after controlling for potential covariates. Methods Study participants were women who attended the antenatal clinic of a large Brisbane maternity hospital between October and November 2006. Data relating to participants. current levels of physical activity, sitting behaviour, depressive symptoms, demographic characteristics and exposure to known risk factors for depression during pregnancy were collected; via on-site survey, follow-up telephone interview (approximately one week later) and post delivery access to participant hospital records. Results Participants were aged 29.5 (¡¾ 5.6) years and mostly partnered (86.4%) with a gross household income above $26,000 per annum (88.9%). Levels of physical activity were generally low, with only 28.4 % of participants reporting sufficient total activity and 16% of participants reporting sufficient planned (leisure-time) activity. The sample mean for depressive symptom scores measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-D) was 6.38 (¡¾ 2.55). The mean depressive symptom scores for participants who reported total moderate-to-vigorous activity levels of sufficient, insufficient, and none, were 5.43 (¡¾ 1.56), 5.82 (¡¾ 1.77) and 7.63 (¡¾ 3.25), respectively. Hierarchical multivariable linear regression modelling indicated that after controlling for covariates, a statistically significant difference of 1.09 points was observed between mean depressive symptom scores of participants who reported sufficient total physical activity, compared with participants who reported they were engaging in no moderate-to-vigorous activity in a typical week (p = 0.05) but this did not reach the criteria for a clinically meaningful difference. Total physical activity was contributed 2.2% to the total 30.3% of explained variance within this model. The other main contributors to explained variance in multivariable regression models were anxiety symptom scores and the number of existing children. Further, a trend was observed between higher levels of planned sitting behaviour and higher depressive symptom scores (p = 0.06); this correlation was not clinically meaningful. Planned sitting contributed 3.2% to the total 31.3 % of explained variance. The number of regression covariates and limited sample size led to a less than ideal ratio of covariates to participants, probably attenuating this relationship. Specific information about the sitting-based activities in which participants engaged may have provided greater insight about the relationship between planned sitting and depressive symptoms, but these data were not captured by the present study. Conclusions The finding that higher levels of physical activity were associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms is consistent with the…

Most chronic low back pain (CLBP) lacks a specific diagnosis, leading to it being labelled “non-specific” CLBP (NSCLBP). NSCLBP is a very common and costly musculoskeletal disorder, which is increasingly viewed as a multidimensional disorder, with contributing factors across the biopsychosocial spectrum. Many physical interventions for NSCLBP have demonstrated minimal effectiveness. Targetted management addressing the specific maladaptive physical and psychological behaviours among individuals with NSCLBP has been advocated. One of the most commonly reported aggravating factors for NSCLBP is sitting. However, most existing research on sitting behaviour has been confined to laboratory settings, limiting the ability to analyse, or provide feedback on, sitting behaviour in real-world environments. Recent technological developments have made investigating sitting behaviour outside the laboratory possible. This doctoral thesis examined the role of sitting behaviour in NSCLBP. In particular, this included the validation of a novel wireless posture monitor, investigating perceptions about sitting posture among clinicians and members of the community, and examining the effect of two specific interventions on sitting-related NSCLBP. There are three main parts to this doctoral thesis, comprising seven studies. In the first part (Chapter 2 – three studies), a novel wireless method of analysing lumbo-pelvic posture was demonstrated to have very good reliability and concurrent validity. In the second part (Chapter 3 – two studies), perceptions of what constitutes good seated spinal posture were evaluated among both physiotherapists and members of the community, both with and without NSCLBP. These two studies showed that both physiotherapists and members of the community had a strong preference for lordotic postures of the lumbar spine. There were no significant differences in the perceptions of good sitting posture between those with and without NSCLBP. In the final part (Chapter 4 - two studies), the effect of two specific interventions for NSCLBP were examined. In a group of people with mild NSCLBP during sitting, postural biofeedback in isolation significantly reduced their NSCLBP during a 2-hour seated task. However, the magnitude of decrease was small, and there was no follow-up period. The second intervention study demonstrated that a multi-dimensional behavioural-based intervention improved pain and disability among people with more disabling NSCLBP. These improvements were maintained at clinically and statistically significant levels at follow-up three months later, with the improvements primarily related to changes in psychosocial measures rather than physical measures. In conclusion, this doctoral thesis demonstrates that monitoring lumbo-pelvic posture can be done outside laboratory environments. Furthermore, while postural biofeedback may help reduce NSCLBP, physical factors such as sitting behaviour are only one component of the multi-dimensional problem that is NSCLBP. For more disabling NSCLBP,…

▼ Background: Results from a recent body of research suggests that sedentary behaviour increases the risk of chronic disease (e.g. type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease) through negative effects on cardiometabolic risk factors (1-5). Breaking prolonged sitting with regular short bursts of activity (1-min 40 s to 2-min every 20- to 30-min) has been found to lower postprandial glucose and insulin concentrations (6-8). Yet, these trials have only examined short-term effects over one or two days, therefore there is a need to test the effect long-term (weeks to months). To do this, intervention strategies that lead to a sustained increase in the frequency of regular activity breaks in sedentary dominated environments (e.g. the workplace) are required. Furthermore, before conducting a large-scale trial, more information is needed to identify and address possible negative outcomes associated with this strategy, in order to tailor interventions accordingly and safely maximise on the health benefits. Objectives: The primary aim of the feasibility study was to limit occupational sedentary behaviour through the inclusion of regular activity breaks. The secondary aims of the study were to assess the impact regular activity breaks has on; dietary snacking patterns, and musculoskeletal discomfort, fatigue, and work productivity. Overall, this study was used to explore the viability of assessment methods and tools to be used in a larger intervention trial. Design: A convenience sample of 12 employees were recruited from the University of Otago to participate in the uncontrolled feasibility intervention trial. Participants were asked to perform 2-min of low to moderate physical activity every 30-min throughout their working day for five weeks. Regular activity breaks were measured using accelerometry at baseline, and intervention weeks 1, 3, and 5. At the end of these weeks, musculoskeletal discomfort, fatigue and productivity were measured using three questionnaires; Standardised Nordic Questionnaire (SNQ), Individual Strength Questionnaire (ISQ) and Health and Work questionnaire (HWQ). Diet was measured using a snacking questionnaire and three 24-hour recalls at baseline and end of weeks 3 and 5. Results: The mean (SD) number of activity breaks taken per day by participants at baseline was 12.4(1.8) this increased significantly by 3.3 (95% CI: 2.4, 4.3; P<0.001) to 15.8 (2.7) at week 5. Interestingly, over this time, a downwards trend was observed in both weekly snacking and total daily snacking. Overall, weekly snacking in the evening decreased by three snacks (95% CI: -0.20, -5.80; P= 0.038) and daily total snacking decreased by one snack, (95% CI: -2.7, 0.72; P=0.032) respectively. This decrease was reflected in total energy and macronutrient intake reductions over the five-week intervention, as assessed by 24-hour recall. Conclusion: Participants were undertaking an unexpectedly high number of breaks at baseline, 12.4, thus, the goal of 16 was easily attainable, which majority achieved.

▼ The proportion of elderly people in the developed world is rapidly increasing. The book When I'm 64: how boomers will change health care mentioned that Older adults are among the fastest growing age groups, and the first “baby boomers” (adults born between 1946 and 1964) will turn 65 in 2011. More than 37 million people in this group (60 percent) will manage more than 1 chronic condition by 2030. The number of elderly and the retired population is on the rise and they represent a more selective consumer group that is more highly educated and financially secure than past generations and have a more active role in the society. The process of aging brings many physiological and psychological changes that influence the functioning of older people and their interaction with the environment. Real aging is stated by the body’s loss of reserve or ability to maintain its balance. There is a well-know riddle:” What goes on four legs in the morning, on two at noon, and on three in the evening?” The answer is: “a human being”. When a human is in old age, he/she often needs “a third leg” such as a walking cane to assist in walking. It’s really a sad fact that people’s muscles shrink as they grow older. Elderly people often have trouble with balance, coordination and daily activities of living due to loss in leg strength. They usually need a seat while standing or walking for a long time. A cane is a tool that many older people would use every day and everywhere. I think it’s a good design idea to combine “seat” and “cane” together. The sitting cane design for the elderly should differ from those ordinary people options. General life satisfaction and even the health of older people may be related to design. I hope my design has the potential to improve the quality of life for older people, and I also hope that it can help them to maintain independent lifestyles and increase their ability to participate fully in society.

▼ Background: Impaired arterial structure and stiffness are strong predictors of cardiovascular events and mortality. These subclinical signs of impairment can be used to identify early stages of cardiovascular disease. Improved understanding of their determinants may enable earlier interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk. Aim: This research aimed to study the associations of fatness, fitness, physical activity and sedentary behaviour with arterial structure and stiffness. Methods: Data were from four large population-based studies: the Burnie Take Heart (BTH), Can Tho (CT), Childhood Determinants of Adult Health (CDAH), and Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns (Young Finns) studies. The subjects for BTH (n=832 Australians aged 25–64 years in 1998–99), CT (n=1978 Vietnamese aged 25–64 years in 2005), CDAH (n=2328 Australians aged 7–15 years in 1985 and when aged 26–36 years in 2004–06) and Young Finns (n=2175 Finns aged 30–45 years in 2007) were all drawn from population-based samples. Measurements included anthropometry, blood pressure, resting heart rate (RHR), physical activity and fitness, sedentary behaviours, blood biochemistry, and arterial structure and stiffness assessed using carotid ultrasound. Results: First, body mass index was positively associated with pulse pressure (an indicator of large artery stiffness) among adult Caucasians, but with both systolic and diastolic pressure among adult Asians. Second, adult carotid artery stiffness was exclusively dependent on adult body size and fatness, whereas adult carotid artery structure (assessed as intima-media thickness) was associated with childhood body size and fatness independently of attained adult values. Cross-sectional data showed that adult carotid artery stiffness was associated thirdly with physical fitness and fourthly with vigorous activity, each independently of current body size/fatness and with each association mediated by RHR. Fifth, carotid artery stiffness was positively associated with sitting time, independently of physical activity and fitness, body size/fatness, RHR, or metabolic syndrome. Conclusions: For the first time, our findings suggest a different pathophysiology related to obesity-induced hypertension among Caucasians (increased arterial stiffness phenotype) and Asians (essential hypertension phenotype). Adult arterial stiffness was primarily influenced by attained adult body size and fatness, whereas adult arterial structure was influenced by body size and fatness in both childhood and adulthood. Independently of fatness, young adults may reduce stiffening of large arteries by doing vigorous activity and improving their fitness

▼ Sedentary behavior has emerged as a major public health threat because accumulating evidence links excessive sitting with deleterious health consequences, independent of physical activity. On average, older adults spend more than 60% of their waking hours each day sitting – the most out of any segment of the population. Understanding the factors that contribute to this high volume health behavior and its consequences will facilitate the development of effective interventions to reduce sedentary time that also promote healthy and successful aging. This dissertation aims to (1) identify the motivational processes that contribute to sedentary behavior, (2) test relations between sedentary behavior and life satisfaction – an important indicator of well-being and successful aging in older adults, and (3) evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, safety, and preliminary efficacy of a brief psychoeducational intervention designed to reduce older adults’ sedentary behavior. A 14-day ecological momentary assessment study with ambulatory monitoring was conducted to capture time-varying and time-invariant motivation, behavior, and evaluations among older adults (n = 100). These data were used to test hypotheses about the motivational antecedents of daily sedentary behavior and hypotheses about relations between daily sedentary behavior and life satisfaction. Next, a brief psychoeducational intervention to reduce older adults’ sedentary behavior was developed and implemented at local senior centers (n = 5). This intervention was evaluated in terms of feasibility, acceptability, safety, and preliminary efficacy. Results of these studies led to five major conclusions. First, older adults’ sedentary behavior is regulated by both controlled and automatic motivational processes. Second, both between-person and within-person motivational processes were associated with sedentary behavior. Third, sedentary behavior and life satisfaction were negatively linked through within-person processes. Fourth, older adults found the psychoeducational intervention approach to be engaging. Finally, the intervention reduced older adults’ self-reported weekday sedentary behavior by approximately two hours more per day compared to the control group. Ultimately, this dissertation informs the development of interventions designed to reduce older adults’ sedentary behavior to promote healthy and successful aging. Prioritizing healthy aging interventions of this nature may reduce health care costs associated with treatment and management of chronic diseases and improve care for older adults.

Office chairs are becoming a modern status symbol in the workplace. Many individuals are seated on office chairs for most of the working day. As a result of using poorly designed chairs injury and discomfort are frequently experienced, most particularly lower back pain. Correct design of chairs is imperative, and must be user-centered. The aim of this investigation has been to gather anthropometric dimensions characteristic of the South African population, as this information has not been widely assimilated to date. Once collated, this information could be used in the design of an ergonomically correct office chair, suitable for the unique characteristics of the South African working population. Anthropometric dimensions were collected from 683 South Africans (comprising 448 South African females and 235 South African males) from pre-selected companies in major centres in South Africa (Johannesburg, Pietermaritzburg, Durban, East London, Grahamstown, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town). Measurements included participants’ personal information (age, sex, home language and ethnic group), basic anthropometric measures (stature, shoulder height, mass, and waist and hip circumference) as well as specific measures of fit of the individual to the specially designed, adjustable chair. Of the 448 females, 317 were Black females, 77 were White females, 35 were Coloured females and 19 were Indian/Asian females. Of the 235 males, 112 were Black males, 79 were White males, 26 were Coloured males and 18 were Indian/Asian males. Office chair dimensions for each ethnic group were represented and differences were noted. A comparison between a current office chair’s dimensions and the South African sample office chair’s dimensions indicated modifications that would need to be constructed to suit the South African sample. The conventional office chair is still the most widely accepted office chair due to its stability and support structures that maintain the correct sitting posture of the user. An ergonomic office chair needs to incorporate anthropometric dimensions worldwide.

Mestrado em Gestão de Empresas

O objetivo principal desta tese é criar um plano de negócios para uma empresa que oferece serviços para animais de estimação, especificamente, Pet Sitting, Dog Walking e outros serviços relacionados. O processo de desenvolvimento da tese iniciou com a análise de teorias relacionadas tanto com animais de estimação como com a criação de um plano de negócios. Assim, o passo seguinte consistiu em aplicar algumas das teorias estudadas para examinar o contexto, tais como a análise PEST, a análise das seis forças de Porter e a análise da SWOT sistémica. Seguidamente, a concorrência existente foi analisada em termos de vantagens e desvantagens assim como os potenciais clientes foram estudados através da aplicação de um pequeno questionário colocado em lojas de animais, veterinários e pequenos cafés. Seguidamente definiu-se o mercado-alvo e o posicionamento que deveria ser utilizado, considerando a fase do ciclo de vida em que o mercado se encontra, assim como os fatores críticos de sucesso para o mesmo. Com base no trabalho desenvolvido, a estratégia da empresa foi descrita. Outros aspetos como nome, visão, missão, logótipo e slogan foram escolhidos. Posteriormente o marketing-mix foi delineado, com base nos sete P’s do marketing de serviços previamente estudados; produto, preço, distribuição, promoção, pessoas, processo e aspetos físicos. O passo final foi executar uma análise financeira, avaliar a viabilidade da empresa, a sensibilidade dos resultados obtidos e retirar conclusões destas análises.

The main purpose of this thesis is to create a business plan for a company which provides services for pets, namely Pet Sitting, Dog Walking and other related services. The process of development of the thesis began with the analysis of theories connected both to pet issues and to business plan creation. As a result, the following step was to apply some of the studied theories to examine the surrounding context, such as the PEST analysis, Porter’s six forces analysis and the Systemic SWOT analysis. Afterwards the already existing competition was analyzed in terms of advantages and disadvantages while the potential customers were studied through the application of a small questionnaire placed in pet shops, veterinarians and small coffee shops. The following step was to define the target and positioning that should be used, taking into account the phase in the life cycle in which the market is at, as well as the key success factors for the market. Based the previous work the company strategy was chara cterized. Additionally aspects such as name, vision, mission, logo and slogan were chosen. Subsequently the marketing-mix was delineated in terms of the previously studied service marketing seven P’s; product, price, placement, promotion, people, process and physical evidence. The final step was to perform a financial analysis, assess the viability of the company, the sensitivity of the results obtained and draw conclusions from those analyses.

▼ Aging is positively correlated with time spent in sedentary behavior (SB), which has been found to be linked to premature mortality, cardiovascular disease risk, and functional limitations. Moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) is a potent stimulus for preventing and improving functional limitations in older adults, but less than 17% of the older adult population meets the recommended PA guidelines. While increased time spent in SB is detrimental to health in all, the impact among those that are physically inactive appear to be most pronounced. Recent evidence suggests increasing light-intensity physical activity (LPA) in these populations may provide health benefits and could be a more practical approach for older adults. The purpose of this dissertation project is to identify safe, effective, and practical evidence-based approaches to reduce SB to maintain or improve physical function in late life. Therefore, the aims of this dissertation project are three fold: 1) to identify the impact of replacing time spent in SB with physical activity on measures of physical function in community-dwelling older adults, 2) identify the feasibility of using a seated portable elliptical device (SED) in the homes of older adults, and 3) determine the effectiveness of using a SED to replace time spent in SB with a LPA and explore the impact on measures of physical function in older adults. An isotemporal substitution regression model identified that replacing as little as 30 minutes of SB with LPA led to significant improvements in walking speed. Meanwhile, replacing up to 60 minutes of SB with LPA led to larger magnitudes of improvement which approached clinical relevance. Further, supplementing LPA with MVPA progressively increased the improvements in a battery of functional assessments. Interventions to reduce SB have come with difficulty and methods to purposefully replace SB with PA should be developed to test the validity of the findings from these novel statistical models. A seated elliptical pedaling device (SED) was used to purposefully target reducing SB and replacing with LPA, while allowing participants to maintain the enjoyment of their typically passive activity in their home. A one week trial study identified that there was no difference in the ability of older adults to accumulate between 15 to 60 minutes of pedaling per day. Further, there was high acceptability among all participants that were randomly assigned to either 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes per day pedaling groups. This led to the development of an 8-week pilot randomized controlled trial using the SED. In this trial, the intervention was effective at replacing SB with LPA as identified by a group by time interaction effect. Specifically, the elliptical group (EG) experienced a significant 7.3% (p = 0.003) reduction in daily SB and 7.1% (p = 0.002) increase in LPA between baseline and follow-up testing compared to no significant difference in the control group (CG). Participants suggested improvements in function,… Advisors/Committee Members: Scott J Strath.

Nackbesvär är vanligt förekommande vid datorarbete. Stående datorarbete har i visats ha en gynnsam effekt på nackbesvär. Nackflexion kan ge en ökad belastning på nacken. Syftet med studien var att jämföra flexion i nacken vid sittande och stående datorarbete för personer som utför datorarbete under en stor del av dagen i sitt ordinarie arbete. Sammanlagt tio personer, åtta kvinnor och två män, som arbetar på en företagshälsovård deltog i studien. De arbetade med datorarbete i växel, kundservice, sjukvårdsrådgivning eller sjuk och frisktjänst (en tjänst där arbetsgivare får hjälp att hantera sjuk och friskanmälningar, sammanställning av sjukskrivningsstatistik samt med rådgivning till sjukskrivna). Nackflexion mättes vid två tillfällen, två timmar per person, sittande och stående under en timme var. Mätningarna gjordes med triaxiala accelerometrar med placering i pannan, över Thorakalkota I samt på utsidan av låret för att säkerställa positionen. Den relativa vinkeln mellan Thorakalkota I och pannan utgjorde flexionsvinkeln. Ingen 0-position användes vid beräkningen. Resultat: Jämförelsen av nackflexion mellan sittande och stående datorarbete kunde i den här studien inte påvisa någon skillnad mellan de två positionerna (medelvärde för nackflexion i sittande 29,2°, stående 28,1°, p:0,35) . Resultaten i den här undersökningen stödjer behovet av att undersöka fler variablar än nackflexion för belastning av nacken vid stående och sittande datorarbete till exempel om den spänning i nackmuskulaturen som arbete med armarna kan ge skiljer sig mellan de olika positionerna.

Neck pain is frequent during computer work. Standing during computer work has been shown to have a beneficial effect on neck pain. Flexion of the neck may cause an increased load on the neck. The aim of this study was to compare flexion of the neck while sitting and standing during computer work for people who perform computer work during most of the day in their regular work. Ten individuals, eight women and two men, working in an occupational health service participated in the study. They worked with computer work in customer service, healthcare advice or sickness and recovery service (a service where employers get service to carry out sickness and recovery notifications, statistics of sick leaves, and counseling services to persons on sick leave). Neck flexion was measured on two occasions, during two hours per person each time, sitting and standing for one hour each. The measurement was made with triaxial accelerometers placed on the forehead, on Thoracic segment I, and on the outside of the thigh to verify the positions. The relative angle between Thoracic segment I and the forehead formed the flexion angle. No 0-position was used in the calculations. Results: The comparison of neck flexion between sitting and standing computer work, in this study, did not show any difference between the two positions (averaged neck flexion, sitting 29.2°, standing 28.1°, p:0.35). The result supports the need for…

Masters Degree in Applied Science

Much has been written about seated working posture - particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the furniture associated with achieving what is commonly referred to as the "German Square" postural geometry (after Mandal, 1974). The physical sciences aspects of chair, desk and associated furniture ancillary to the task required of the seated worker, have been described in the scientific literature and the standards and guideline publications of the authorities of many countries of the western world. The most important contribution of multi-adjustable furniture to the reduction of postural discomfort and musculo-skeletal complaints is recognised. As a result a variety of standards and guidelines concerning some of these aspects exists in countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, United States of America, Germany, Australia and the Scandinavian countries. The International Organisation for Standardisation published document TC136/SC7 in 1978, consolidating such existing standards. Less emphasis has been placed on the interface of the information exchange and the comfort, performance and preferences of the seated worker; ie., the practically, the comfort and the intrinsic safety of the working posture prescribed by the model established by the many standards. Existing specifications and guidelines differ in their orientation towards operator performance and comfort of the operator, in as much as some purport to be "furniture standards", for example C.E.N, Comite European de Normalisation, Paris, 1980, while others purport to be "postural standards", for example, International Organisation for Standardisation document TC 136/SC7 (1978). The standards are uniform in matters of upright trunk and 90° upper and lower limb geometry, but are divided in the lineal dimensions applied to eye height above the floor, shoulder acromion to home row of keys (or pen-grip position of the dominant hand and fingers), and eye distance to copy.
