Background: Osteoarthritis is one of the most common chronic joint diseases, mostly affecting the knee or hip through pain, joint stiffness and decreased physical functioning in daily life. Regular physical activity (PA) can help preserve and improve physical functioning and reduce pain in patients with …

Het doel van dit scriptieonderzoek is het onderzoeken van overeenstemming tussen en hanteerbaarheid van de MOX-accelerometer en het activiteitendagboek van MUMC+.

Background and purpose The aim of this study is to investigate changes in movement behaviors, sedentary behavior and physical activity, and to identify potential movement behavior trajectory subgroups within the first two months after discharge from the hospital to the home setting in first-time stroke …

This study explored associations between perceived neighborhood walkability and neighborhood-based physical activity (NB-PA) and assessed possible moderation effects of the amount of time spent in the home neighborhood and individual characteristics (i.e., educational level and health-related problems). …

Introduction: Previous longitudinal studies indicate that physical activity (PA) significantly declines from primary-to secondary school, and report both changes in individual and environmental determinants of PA. In order to understand this transition and to prevent this negative trend, it is important …

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) disease and CV mortality1. High values of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are protective against CVD and CV mortality2. Physical activity levels in patients with RA are low. Knowledge on whether physical …

The objective of this study was to assess relationships between children's physical environment and afterschool leisure time physical activity (PA) and active transport. Methods: Children aged 10-12 years participated in a 7-day accelerometer and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) protocol. Afterschool …

Background: Multiple sclerosis often leads to fatigue and changes in physical behavior (PB). Changes in PB are often assumed as a consequence of fatigue, but effects of interventions that aim to reduce fatigue by improving PB are not sufficient. Since the heterogeneous nature of MS related symptoms, …

SAMENVATTING Achtergrond: Patiënten met eind stadium nierfalen, ofwel chronisch dialysepatienten, vormen een kwetsbare groep met veel comorbiditeit. Voldoende lichaamsbeweging is van groot belang om fit te blijvenmaar data over de mate van lichamelijk activeit in deze groep ontbreken. De Nederlandse …

Het doel van dit quasi experimentele onderzoek was om te meten in hoeverre een leerkracht invloed heeft op de ontwikkeling van motorische vaardigheden (MV) bij kinderen tussen 7 en 11 jaar. Daarnaast werd onderzocht of er een relatie is tussen de ontwikkeling van MV en de ontwikkeling van fysieke activiteit …
