Background: Physical activity can confer diverse benefits on cancer survivors. Unfortunately, many cancer survivors are not sufficiently active. The efficacy of physical activity interventions for this population may be increased by grounding them in Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Combining game design elements with wearable technologies may be a useful and scalable approach to targeting SDT constructs to promote cancer survivors’ physical activity. Objective: The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of Steps2Health, a physical activity intervention for cancer survivors. It also aims to investigate the effects of the intervention on motivation, physical activity, and step …

Background: New methods for assessing diet in research are being developed to address the limitations of traditional dietary assessment methods. Mobile device–assisted ecological momentary diet assessment (mEMDA) is a new dietary assessment method that has not yet been optimized and has the potential to minimize recall biases and participant burden while maximizing ecological validity. There have been limited efforts to characterize the use of mEMDA in behavioral research settings. Objective: The aims of this study were to summarize mEMDA protocols used in research to date, to characterize key aspects of these assessment approaches, and to discuss the advantages and disadvantages …


Acceptability Of Continuous Glucose Monitoring In Free-Living Healthy Individuals: Implications For The Use Of Wearable Biosensors In Diet And Physical Activity Research, Yue Liao, Susan Schembre Oct 2018

Acceptability Of Continuous Glucose Monitoring In Free-Living Healthy Individuals: Implications For The Use Of Wearable Biosensors In Diet And Physical Activity Research, Yue Liao, Susan Schembre

Kinesiology Faculty Publications & Presentations

Background: Wearable sensors have been increasingly used in behavioral research for real-time assessment and intervention purposes. The rapid advancement of biomedical technology typically used in clinical settings has made wearable sensors more accessible to a wider population. Yet the acceptability of this technology for nonclinical purposes has not been examined. Objective: The aim was to assess the acceptability of wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) device among a sample of nondiabetic individuals, and to compare the acceptability of a CGM between a mobile diet tracking app (MyFitnessPal) and an accelerometer. Methods: A total of 30 nondiabetic adults went through a …


The Acute Relationships Between Affect, Physical Feeling States, And Physical Activity In Daily Life: A Review Of Current Evidence, Yue Liao, Eleanor T. Shonkoff, Genevieve F. Dunton Dec 2015

The Acute Relationships Between Affect, Physical Feeling States, And Physical Activity In Daily Life: A Review Of Current Evidence, Yue Liao, Eleanor T. Shonkoff, Genevieve F. Dunton

Kinesiology Faculty Publications & Presentations

Until recently, most studies investigating the acute relationships between affective and physical feeling states and physical activity were conducted in controlled laboratory settings, whose results might not translate well to everyday life. This review was among the first attempts to synthesize current evidence on the acute (e.g., within a few hours) relationships between affective and physical feeling states and physical activity from studies conducted in free-living, naturalistic settings in non-clinical populations. A systematic literature search yielded 14 eligible studies for review. Six studies tested the relationship between affective states and subsequent physical activity; findings from these studies suggest that positive …


Which Type Of Sedentary Behaviour Intervention Is More Effective At Reducing Body Mass Index In Children? A Meta-Analytic Review, Y. Liao, J. Liao, C. P. Durand, G. F. Dunton Sep 2013

Which Type Of Sedentary Behaviour Intervention Is More Effective At Reducing Body Mass Index In Children? A Meta-Analytic Review, Y. Liao, J. Liao, C. P. Durand, G. F. Dunton

Sedentary behaviour is emerging as an independent risk factor for paediatric obesity. Some evidence suggests that limiting sedentary behaviour alone could be effective in reducing body mass index (BMI) in children. However, whether adding physical activity and diet-focused components to sedentary behaviour reduction interventions could lead to an additive effect is unclear. This meta-analysis aims to assess the overall effect size of sedentary behaviour interventions on BMI reduction and to compare whether interventions that have multiple components (sedentary behaviour, physical activity and diet) have a higher mean effect size than interventions with single (sedentary behaviour) component. Included studies (n = …


Momentary Assessment Of Adults’ Physical Activity And Sedentary Behavior: Feasibility And Validity, Genevieve Fridlund Dunton, Yue Liao, Keito Kawabata, Stephen Intille Jul 2012

Introduction: Mobile phones are ubiquitous and easy to use, and thus have the capacity to collect real-time data from large numbers of people. Research tested the feasibility and validity of an Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) self-report protocol using electronic surveys on mobile phones to assess adults’ physical activity and sedentary behaviors. Methods: Adults (N = 110; 73% female, 30% Hispanic, 62% overweight/obese) completed a 4-day signal-contingent EMA protocol (Saturday–Tuesday) with eight surveys randomly spaced throughout each day. EMA items assessed current activity (e.g., Watching TV/Movies, Reading/Computer, Physical Activity/Exercise). EMA responses were time-matched to minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and …


A Counterbalanced Cross-Over Study Of The Effects Of Visual, Auditory And No Feedback On Performance Measures In A Simulated Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Carolyn Cason, Cynthia Trowbridge, Susan M. Baxley, Mark D. Ricard Jan 2011

A Counterbalanced Cross-Over Study Of The Effects Of Visual, Auditory And No Feedback On Performance Measures In A Simulated Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Carolyn Cason, Cynthia Trowbridge, Susan M. Baxley, Mark D. Ricard

Kinesiology Faculty Publications & Presentations

Background: Previous research has demonstrated that trained rescuers have difficulties achieving and maintaining the correct depth and rate of chest compressions during both in and out of hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Feedback on rate and depth mitigate decline in performance quality but not completely with the residual performance decline attributed to rescuer fatigue. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of feedback (none, auditory only and visual only) on the quality of CPR and rescuer fatigue. Methods: Fifteen female volunteers performed 10 minutes of 30:2 CPR in each of three feedback conditions: none, auditory only, and visual …


A Randomized Cross-Over Study Of The Quality Of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Among Females Performing 30:2 And Hands-Only Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Cynthia Trowbridge, Jesal N. Parekh, Mark D. Ricard, Jerald Potts, W Clive Patrickson, Carolyn Cason Jul 2009

Background: Hands-Only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is recommended for use on adult victims of witnessed out-of-hospital (OOH) sudden cardiac arrest or in instances where rescuers cannot perform ventilations while maintaining minimally interrupted quality compressions. Promotion of Hands-Only CPR should improve the incidence of bystander CPR and, subsequently, survival from OOH cardiac arrest; but, little is known about a rescuer's ability to deliver continuous chest compressions of adequate rate and depth for periods typical of emergency services response time. This study evaluated chest compression rate and depth as subjects performed Hands-Only CPR for 10 minutes. For comparison purposes, each also performed chest …

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected athletes exist at the collegiate level and are engaging in competitive sports, as was revealed by a 1993 NCAA survey. Unfortunately, there is a void when the issue of policy for the HIVpositive athlete and his or her participation rights at the collegiate level is addressed. Given the controversial nature of opinion on HIV and the resultant acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), it is recommended that a policy be in place for an HIV-infected athlete before it is needed. Ithaca College has recently developed such a policy, and it is offered here to other educational institutions as …
