“…Those results are consistent with Raymond et al, where the average daily number of steps achieved by KTx patients was more than 9000 [19]. Crosssectional studies conducted on healthy populations indicate that without any motivational or interventional procedures, the level of pedometer-assessed PA is lower than recommended and depends on working or non-working days, as well as the season [20].…”

“…Most studies on assessment of PA in post-transplantation patients are based on subjective methods using standardized or self-prepared questionnaires. Those methods are burdened with a large measurement error and are usually overestimated, which has been previously proven [20,21]. This observation is partially reflected in the research presented here, where the high percentage of completed questionnaires was overestimated and did not meet the validity criteria, so those results could not be subjected to statistical analysis.…”

Introduction: Regular physical activity results in many health benefits, however many studies indicate that the level of activity of patients after transplantation is low. The purpose of the study was to assess the level of daily physical activity in patients after liver (LTx) or kidney transplantation (KTx) and the usefulness of a selfmonitoring method in increasing their daily physical activity. Material and methods: Patients after LTx or KTx (n=100) has been enrolled to the study and were randomly assigned to either an intervention (IG) or control group (CG). Ninety-four participants completed the 3 month period of observation. Participants assigned to IG were monitoring their daily physical activity using a pedometer and were required to complete a diary of daily number of steps. The level of physical activity was also assessed by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). In the statistical analysis the parametric and non-parametric tests has been used in consistency with data distribution. A value of P ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. Results:The average daily number of steps in pre/posttest in both study groups was less than 7600. A significant relationship between the average daily number of steps and daily Total Physical Activity Score TPAS/day [MET-min/day] (p<0.001; r=0.57). The study did not revealed any effects of intervention. Conclusions: Daily physical activity in patients after KTx or LTx is low, but it does not differ from healthy populations (<7500 steps). In post-transplant comprehensive medical management, long-term physical activity recommendations could be included on a par with the early post-surgery physiotherapy.

“…Physical inactivity is a global problem [ 9 , 10 , 11 ] that generates a growing concern [ 5 ]. It contributes to the obesity epidemic [ 12 , 13 ], and increases morbidity and mortality rates in chronic diseases [ 5 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. It is associated with disease exacerbations, increased pain, poorer health-related quality of life and prognosis, among others health outcomes [ 15 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ].…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to collect and analyze the available scientific evidence of the impact of seasonality on physical activity (PA). PA refers to walking, biking, sports and/or active recreation. Methods: The search was performed in the following databases: PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane and Embase. All publications from January 2015 to September 2020 assessing seasonal variations on physical activity development in adults were selected. Results: A total of 1159 articles were identified, of which 26 fulfilled the selection criteria involving 9300 participants from 18 different countries. The results obtained suggest that seasonality affects PA independently of the countries, pathologies of the participants and the tool to collect PA information. Conclusions: PA level varies across the seasons, with higher PA level in summer compared with other seasons, especially in winter. Sedentary behavior follows the opposite trend. Impact of seasonality variations should be considered in clinical research involving PA as a primary outcome as well as in interventions on PA promotion.

“…Mitsui et al showed that male office workers in a rural area are more active on non-working days than on working days in the summer, with an inverse pattern in the winter season [25]. However, other studies conducted in urban areas have found different patterns, which showed that the level of PA is lower on non-working days than during working days and people’s participation in these activities are limited to professional work and daily living activities [26, 27]. These findings indicate that employment status is an important factor in assessing physical activity.…”

Seasonality of physical activity and its association with socioeconomic and health factors among urban-dwelling adults of Kaunas, Lithuania

Background Physical activity (PA) has been declining dramatically over time in many countries worldwide. The decrease of PA levels affects a person’s health and quality of life as it is a significant risk factor for many noncommunicable diseases. Understanding the factors that determine PA is particularly important in promoting greater PA in adults and reducing the risk of diseases associated with physical inactivity. This study investigated associations of seasonal PA levels with socioeconomic and health factors among adults. Methods A cross-sectional study included 1111 participants of Kaunas city, Lithuania who completed a questionnaire about PA and mobility behaviour, socioeconomic, health and demographic factors. Commuting PA and sufficient PA (sPA) on weekdays and weekends in the summer and winter seasons was investigated in this study. Data on daily commuting duration and forms of transportation were collected using a questionnaire survey. Daily commuting was categorized into two categories: 1) using motorized transportation or walking or cycling 0 to 29 min, 2) and walking or cycling for 30 min or more. Results Our findings showed significant seasonal impact on PA levels. The results revealed that employment status was significantly associated with PA. Unemployed individuals were 2 times more likely to engage in sPA in winter and almost 3 times in summer compared to workers. Conclusions Our findings suggest the importance of considering environmental, socioeconomic and health factors when assessing PA. Promoting PA through active commuting is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and strategies to support the implementation of health-promoting policies and practices are needed.
