“…To the best of our knowledge, this study is the rst to investigate the association of the number of breaks taken during SB, measured objectively by a device, and serum lipid pro les in a healthy middle-aged female population. Previous studies have focused on PA and SB in child ( 26,27), youth (28) or adult populations with certain physiological states or illnesses (29)(30)(31) or adults with different types of professions. (32,33) The quartile that had highest number of breaks per day had 0.11 mmol/l higher concentration of HDL and 0.10 mmol/l lower concentration of triglycerides compared to the quartile with lowest number of breaks in the adjusted model.…”

“…In the unadjusted models, the HDL-c level was 0.16 mmol/l higher (p < 0.001) in the intermediate group (28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40).9 breaks) and 0.25 mmol/l higher (p < 0.001) in the group with the most breaks (≥ 41) than in the group with the fewest breaks during SB (< 28). After the model was adjusted for BMI, hypothyroidism medication use and HRT, the HDL-c level was 0.11 mmol/l higher (p = 0.017) in the group with ≥ 41 daily breaks during SB than in the group with < 28 breaks (Table 4).…”

Background: Physical activity (PA) is known to be associated with lipid profiles and the risk of both cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of objectively measured PA, sedentary behaviour (SB), amount of breaks during SB and number of daily steps with serum lipids in a healthy, Finnish, middle-aged, female population.Methods: The participants (571) were recruited at mammography screening, target group was women aged 50-60 years. A measurement of PA was done with accelerometer, blood lipid profile was assessed, and questionnaires of participants characteristics were sent to participants.Results: The participants with the highest number of daily breaks during SB (≥ 41) had the highest mean concentration of HDL-cholesterol (high density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-c) (1.9 mmol/l, standard deviation (SD) 0.4) and the lowest mean concentration of triglycerides (1.0 mmol/l, SD 0.5). HDL-c level was 0.16 mmol/l higher (p < 0.001) in the group with 28-40.9 breaks/day and 0.25 mmol/l higher (p < 0.001) among participants with ≥ 41 breaks/day than in the group with the fewest breaks during SB (< 28).Those with the most daily steps (≥ 9100) had the highest mean HDL-c level (1.9 mmol/l). HDL-c level was 0.16 mmol/l higher (p < 0.001) among the participants with 5600-9099 steps/day and 0.26 mmol/l higher (p < 0.001) among participants with ≥ 9100 steps/day than those with the fewest steps (< 5600). The number of daily steps was inversely associated with the triglyceride concentration.From wake-time, participants spent 60% in SB, 18% standing, 14% in light PA, and 9% in moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA). PA was associated with serum total cholesterol (TC), HDL-c and triglyceride levels. The mean HDL-c level was the highest in the lowest quartile of SB and in the highest quartile of MVPA.Conclusions: This is the first study showing a high number of objectively measured breaks during SB is associated with a favourable effect on the level of serum lipids, which may later translate into cardiovascular health.Trial registration: This study was registered and approved by the Regional Ethics Committee of Tampere University Hospital in Finland (approval code R15137).

“…In accordance with prior research, a valid monitoring day was defined as a minimum of 10-h accelerometer wear time per day [18]. To ensure reliability of accelerometer measures, solely patients with at least four valid days of accelerometer monitoring were included for further statistical analyses [19]. Using the ActiLife software, activity counts (i.e., the numbers of accelerations across 60 s) were summed and proportionally weighted to the magnitude of measured acceleration.…”

Health Demands Moderate the Link Between Willpower Beliefs and Physical Activity in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis

Background Regular physical activity (PA) was found to alleviate pain and improve functioning among patients with osteoarthritis of the knee (OAK). Heightened health demands due to OAK severity, body mass index (BMI), and depressive symptoms may require self-regulatory strategies to engage in more PA. Research on willpower-the capacity to exert self-control-suggests that believing that willpower is a nonlimited rather than a limited resource predicts effective self-regulation specifically when demands are high. The present study examines the association of OAK patients' willpower beliefs with their daily PA as a function of health demands. Methods To identify the moderating role of OAK severity (WOMAC), BMI, and depressive symptoms (CES-D) on the link between willpower beliefs and objectively assessed PA over a 7-day period, baseline data of a registered randomized controlled trial with 243 patients (M age = 65.47 years, SD = 0.49) were examined in secondary analyses. Results Moderation analyses revealed that overall positive associations of willpower beliefs with PA were further qualified by OAK severity, BMI, and depressive symptoms. When patients faced less health demands, believing that willpower is nonlimited was associated with more PA. When health demands were higher, willpower beliefs were not associated with PA. Conclusion OAK patients' willpower beliefs were associated with PA. However, facing more health demands seemed to erase this beneficial link. Improving willpower beliefs by way of intervention may help to shed more light on predictive direction and ways to overcome barriers to regular physical activity.
