“…Subsequently, data on physical activity patterns amongst Canadians in different provinces and territories during Olympic years was collected from national and provincial surveys of physical activity levels, as well as summary data from published studies and reports. Canadian physical activity patterns, up to 1998, have been analyzed by Bruce and Katzmarzyk (2002). This current enquiry further analyzed data, up to 2007, to determine whether a correlation exists between Olympic years and leisure-time physical activity amongst Canadians.…”

“…Сходно томе, подаци о обрасцима физичке актив-ности код Канађана у различитим провинцијама и територијама током олимпијских година сакупљени су из националних и провинцијских истраживања нивоа физичке активности, као и сумираних података из објављених истраживања и извештаја. Обрасце физичке активности Канађана до 1998. године анализирали су Брус и Кацмарзик (Bruce, & Katzmarzyk 2002). Ово тренутно истраживање додатно анализира пода-тке, до 2007. године, како би се утврдило да ли постоји корелација између олимпијских година и физичке активности обављане у слободно време код Канађана.…”

“…Ниво физичке активности у слободно вре-ме у Канади се стално повећава током про-теклих 30 година -тенденција која је дослед-на и у другим земљама (Bruce, & Katzmarzyk, 2002). Међутим, од 2003. године, ови позитив-ни национални трендови почели су да опадају са највећим смањењем које се јавља у западним провинцијама.…”

“…Сход-но томе, једно холистичко истраживање које испитује трансдисциплинарне феномене (по-пут oлимпијских игара) који потенцијално могу повећати национални ниво физичке активности је у великој мери потребно (Bruce, & Katzmarzyk, 2002; Canadian Fitness and Life Style Research Institute, 2008).…”

Background:The objectives of this study were to examine age differences in the extent to which older Canadian women exercise and eat nutritiously, and to identify the interventions they desire to help them adopt and maintain physical and nutritional fitness. Methods:A cross-sectional postal survey of 5,000 community-dwelling women aged 55-95 was conducted across Canada in October 2003. The survey queried exercise frequency, nutritional risk, functional status, and factors deemed facilitative to adopting and maintaining a physically fit and nutritiously healthy lifestyle.Results: Data from 2,484 women were available for analysis; 31% were 75 years and older. Among women aged 55-74 versus those over age 75, 62% compared to 56% reported exercising 3 times/week for 20 minutes or longer (p=0.003), 33% in both age groups were eating nutritiously, and 24% compared to 21% were both exercising and eating nutritiously. Thirty-five percent of women aged 55-74 who were not exercising or eating nutritiously desired increased availability of low-cost, suitable health promotion programs and additional written materials to improve these health habits, compared to 25% of women in the 75 year and older group (p<0.001). Improved transportation to programs was the only intervention preferred by women aged 75 years and older ). Sedentary women and those at higher nutritional risk were two to three times more likely to identify encouragement from health professionals (OR 1.93 (1.48-2.52)), as well as from family and friends (OR 3.03 (1.89-4.85)) as important facilitators.Interpretation: Women aged 55-74 who do not exercise and eat nutritiously are most receptive to a variety of health-promoting community interventions.

Objectives: To determine the relationship between occupational physical activity (OPA) and chronic disease after controlling for leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and other risk factors.Methods: Using cycle 2.1 of the Canadian Community Health Survey, OPA energy expenditure was derived. The association of OPA with any self-reported chronic disease, heart disease or diabetes was determined using logistic regression while controlling for confounders. The analyses of OPA controlled for age, sex, ethnicity, BMI, smoking status, time since immigration, income, education and LTPA.Results: High OPA was associated with reduced odds of having any chronic disease (OR=0.89) independent of LTPA status. Similar significant associations were also observed for heart disease (OR=0.61) and diabetes (OR=0.72). Conclusion:High OPA is associated with reduced odds of chronic disease independent of LTPA. Accordingly, it is important that physical activity questionnaires carefully assess OPA in addition to LTPA.
