Description



Sedentary behavior and physical inactivity: • basic concept and context
• bedentary behavior and physical inactivity parameters Sedentary behavior and
health: • obesity • effects on metabolic system • effect on cardiovascular
system • effect on musculoskeletal system • effect on mental health Epidemiology
of sedentary behavior and physical inactivity: • prevalence of sedentary
behavior in different age groups (children, adolescents, working population,
elderly) • knowing the epidemiological studies, variables and results for future
research Biomechanics of sitting: • posture when sitting • problems with sitting
in chairs • evaluation of sitting biomechanics: subjective (RULA, ROSA, REBA)
and objective (kinematics) Negative effects of sedentary behavior and physical
inactivity: • in different age groups (children / adolescents / working
population / elderly) • sedentary behavior and public health Evaluation of
sedentary behavior: • contemporary sedentary behavior research and concepts
• sedentary research agenda • subjective evaluation (questionnaires, diaries,
ect.)) • objective evaluation (accelerometers, spirometry, inclinometers, ect.)
• quality and suitability of different intervention types • methodology of the
interventions (sample size, intensity and duration of the intervention, control
group) • selection of the most appropriate study design Intervention for
preventing sedentary behavior: • in different age groups (children, adolescents,
working population, elderly) • workplace interventions • leisure time
interventions • motivational/environmental/combined interventions Preventing
workplace sedentary behavior: • workplace health promotion (motivation,
workshops, etc.) • performing physical activity when working • performing
physical activity during breaks • application of workplace physical activity
Equipment and environment for reducing sedentary behavior: • effects of
different chairs and desks on sedentary behavior • adjustability of chairs and
desks • designing the home environment for reducing sedentary behavior
• designing workplace environment for reducing sedentary behavior
• environmental/urbanistic redesign for decreasing sedentary behavior Follow up
and optimization of the interventions for preventing sedentary behavior:
• importance of cross-sectional studies • importance of prospective studies
• importance of a control group The importance of the motivation when preventing
sedentary behavior
