BACKGROUND: The retirement transition provides a window of opportunity for the optimization of activity, sedentary and sleep behaviors. Identifying groups at risk for non-favorable changes is important in this matter. There are indications that lower socio-economic position (SEP) adults might be more prone to non-favorable changes. However, previous studies mainly used self-reported behaviors and only one indicator of SEP. The purpose of the ...

Physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB) and sleep are related to multiple health outcomes, including mortality, cardiometabolic health, certain types of cancer, mental health, adiposity, etc. However, about one fourth of the European adult population is not sufficiently physically active, too sedentary and/or does not sleep enough. This places a substantial burden on the health care system and on quality of life, especially taking into ...

In team resilience literature, team performance is consistently regarded as a primary outcome of resilient teams. However, empirical evidence linking team resilience to objective performance indicators such as effectively winning a game remains scarce. Drawing upon team resilience literature and Self-Determination Theory, this study firstly investigated whether team resilience predict the odds of winning. In addition, as sports teams inevitably ...

OBJECTIVES: Few adults adhere to muscle-strengthening exercise guidelines (≥2 days/week), showing an urgent need to increase this physical activity mode in the general population. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of real-life interventions in promoting muscle-strengthening exercise among healthy adults. DESIGN: A systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42020146423). METHODS: Studies were eligible if they reported behavioral outcomes of a ...

As front-line players in sports clubs, coaches can create a positive context influencing athletes' health decisions and behaviours. However, coaches rarely engage in health promotion (HP) practices due to various obstacles. Coaching philosophy, encompassing beliefs, principles, and values, significantly influences coaches' practices. However, its impact on HP remains unexplored, are the main factor influencing coaches' practices, has not yet ...

BACKGROUND: Currently, there is insufficient evidence supporting geriatric home rehabilitation after hospital discharge. Some studies demonstrate a positive effect, but meta-analytic evidence demonstrates uncertainty on the magnitude of the expected effect. Yet, evidence from other populations indicates that home rehabilitation could also be an effective strategy for older persons. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of geriatric ...

The perceived sustainability of food plays a significant role in young consumers' eating behaviors. While it is highly relevant to investigate these sustainability perceptions, the available measures are limited. Previous research has mostly relied on single-item measurements that only allow a surface-level understanding of food sustainability perceptions. Therefore, this research aims to provide researchers with a scale to measure perceptions ...
