A Countryside for Health and Well-Being: The Physical and Mental Health Benef...KlausGroenholm
This report examines the physical and mental health benefits of green exercise, which involves physical activities while directly exposed to nature. The report reviews evidence that nature can positively impact health by reducing stress and improving concentration. It also describes three levels of engagement with nature: viewing, being in nearby nature, and actively participating. The report then details a study conducted by the researchers that analyzed the effects of 10 countryside activities in the UK involving 263 people. The activities ranged from group activities like health walks to individual activities like fishing to examine how social context impacts health benefits. The study found green exercise improved both physical and mental health.
The document discusses aging well through maintaining physical activity and an engaged lifestyle. It suggests occupational therapists can help older adults through preventative interventions that promote independence and reduce healthcare costs. Evidence shows occupational therapy can improve health, function and quality of life for older clients. The workshop encourages reflection on how participants intend to age well themselves and whether their views on working with older clients have changed.
This document summarizes a study that evaluated the impact of a mini-grants program that provided funding to six churches in rural South Georgia to implement policy and environmental changes to promote healthy eating and physical activity. The study assessed changes in parishioners' (N=258) perceptions of their church's health promotion environment and whether any changes were associated with healthy behaviors. Key results included: 1) Perceived improvements in church nutrition environments were most strongly associated with decreases in unhealthy food consumed and stronger intentions to use physical activity resources. 2) Perceived changes in the physical activity environment were unrelated to behaviors. 3) The study suggests church environments may influence healthy behaviors at church but it is unknown if this extends to other settings.
Effect of Active Ageing Program in Improving Geriatric Depression Score in Co...Alakananda Banerjee
Depression is a common mental disorder that presents with depressed mood, loss of interest, pleasure, feeling of guilt or low self worth, disturbed sleep/appetite, low energy and poor concentration.
According to WHO, these problems can become chronic or recurrent and lead to substantial impairment in an individual’s ability to take care of his/her everyday responsibilities.
Community based mental health studies have revealed that the point prevalence of depressive disorders amongst the geriatric population in India varies between 13-25%.
According to WHO remaining active means maintaining one’s physical , social and mental potential throughout the entire lifecycle, allowing the involvement of elderly in social, economic, cultural, spiritual and civic activities.

- Exercise is associated with improved physical and mental health, academic attainment, and cognitive performance in children.
- Fitness, in particular aerobic fitness, is correlated with higher scores on math and reading tests.
- Mechanisms for this relationship include biological and psychological benefits of exercise like improved self-esteem and self-efficacy.
- Increasing PE curriculum time to 75 minutes per day does not negatively impact academic achievement and may help children learn better by making them fitter.

Health Impact Assessment - INPES Journées de la prévention 2015Ben Harris-Roxas
This document provides an overview of health impact assessment (HIA). It discusses the evolution of HIA from environmental assessments in the 1950s-1970s to the current focus on health equity. HIAs can be mandated, used for decision support, or led by advocacy groups/communities. The document outlines the key components of HIAs and common health impacts assessed. It also discusses challenges like the perception that HIAs are expensive and time-consuming, and notes they can be done rapidly. The document concludes with resources for further information on HIA practice.
This document provides information about Melicia C. Whitt-Glover, PhD, and her work promoting physical activity through Instant Recess. It summarizes her background, describes what Instant Recess is which are 10-minute physical activity breaks incorporating aerobic movements. It then reviews several studies that have found Instant Recess breaks to be feasible across various settings and populations, with benefits including increased physical activity levels, reduced sick time and injuries at worksites, and improved on-task behavior and physical activity in schools.

Regular exercise is associated with a reduced risk of dementia. A 30-year study found those participating in moderate exercise 2-4 times per week had a 60% lower risk of dementia. While observational studies link exercise to lower dementia rates, intervention trials results have been mixed as to whether exercise can directly reduce cognitive decline. More research is still needed to determine the optimal intensity and duration of exercise for maintaining cognitive health in older adults. Public awareness of exercise's role in reducing dementia risk is currently poor.
David French presentation- Exercise and Health conferencemckenln
This document summarizes research on promoting physical activity. It finds that:
1) Simply communicating health risks is not effective at changing behavior, but combining risk information with strategies to improve self-efficacy and response efficacy can have larger effects.
2) Brief interventions that focus on goal setting, action planning, and overcoming barriers can successfully increase walking levels.
3) Techniques shown to improve both self-efficacy and physical activity include action planning, reinforcing progress, instruction, and graded tasks.
4) Older adults want physical activity experiences that are enjoyable, social, and allow improvements in function at their own pace without pressure. Satisfaction and self-efficacy predict long-term
Action Research Project Servant Leadership Approach to Employee Wellnessjeffreytabor
The document outlines an action research project that aims to develop an effective workplace wellness program at a rural hospital using servant leadership principles. Research was conducted through employee surveys that found most employees want to improve their lifestyle but feel overwhelmed. An action plan was developed to form wellness committees focused on topics like nutrition, exercise, and education to design a program tailored to employee needs and goals. The program will be evaluated through ongoing surveys and modifications.
This document provides an overview of health impact assessment (HIA). It discusses:
- The background and experience of the author in conducting HIAs
- Why health matters and the environmental and social determinants of health
- What HIA is and when it is conducted
- The typical steps involved in an HIA including screening, scoping, assessment and recommendations
- Examples of different types of projects and policies that HIAs have been conducted for
- How HIA relates to and incorporates environmental health issues

Analysis of the indirect effects of basic psychological needs and motivational regulations in the relationship between intensity, frequency and emotional response to exercise
Health impact assessment (HIA) is a combination of procedures, methods and tools to judge the potential health effects of policies, programs or projects on a population. An HIA identifies how proposals affect health and wellbeing, who they affect, and what can be done to maximize benefits and minimize harms. The steps of an HIA include screening, scoping, identification, assessment, recommendations, and evaluation/monitoring. An HIA considers both intended and unintended effects and how impacts are distributed across populations based on factors like age, gender, socioeconomic status and location.
This document summarizes a presentation on a health impact assessment (HIA) of a proposed Kentucky tax credit to encourage worksite wellness programs. The HIA found that such a tax credit could reduce childhood obesity by educating parents through worksite programs. It may also increase jobs by reducing healthcare costs and improving productivity. The tax credit was also found to potentially improve social cohesion and well-being in workplaces. Preliminary recommendations included enacting the tax credit bill and conducting further research on worksite wellness programs in the state.
Linda Bauld presentation- Exercise and Health conferencemckenln
Physical inactivity is linked to certain cancers, with approximately 1% of UK cancers each year directly attributed to inactivity. Regular physical activity reduces cancer risk through various mechanisms like reducing inflammation and hormone levels. Government guidelines recommend a minimum of 2.5 hours of moderate activity per week. Physical activity also benefits cancer patients and survivors by reducing tiredness and improving well-being and quality of life. Cancer Research UK aims to address preventable cancers through research, fellowships, and public information on the role of physical activity in cancer prevention and survivorship.
The document discusses engaging older adults in physical activity programs. It covers who to target, important messages to convey, using evidence to design effective programs, and making programs age-friendly. Key points include segmenting the older adult market based on health, life stage, and readiness to change. Messages should focus on benefits, safety, and feeling comfortable. Evidence shows cognitive behavioral strategies and social support increase program adherence and effectiveness. Facilities, equipment, programs, and staff should be tailored to meet the needs and abilities of older adults.
This document discusses the benefits of combining individual health initiatives with efforts to create supportive cultural environments in worksite wellness programs. It summarizes research showing that approaches focusing solely on individual behavior change have achieved only small or temporary improvements, while programs incorporating environmental supports yield more dramatic and lasting results. The document advocates for an integrated model providing individual coaching/assessment alongside efforts to develop healthy workplace norms, social influences, and peer support. It presents case studies of employers who have found medical cost savings and sustained health risk reductions using this comprehensive approach.

Regular exercise provides significant health benefits. The document profiles several individuals who exercise regularly and have experienced positive health outcomes as a result. Ruth Bader Ginsburg works out twice a week with a personal trainer and her commitment to exercise has likely helped her maintain good health. John Humphrey participated in a lifestyle change program and lost 60 pounds through water aerobics and healthy eating. He now feels good and has increased his exercise. Patsy Lillehei began competing in triathlons 10 years ago and has experienced health benefits and made new friends through staying active.

This document discusses prescribing exercise and physical activity. It outlines the many benefits of exercise, current guidelines for exercise duration and intensity, and findings that most adults and youth do not meet activity guidelines. While primary care providers are well positioned to counsel on physical activity, evidence suggests their efforts have modest effects. The document recommends assessing patients' activity levels using a physical activity vital sign, setting incremental goals, and providing community resources for support. Primary care providers can bill for conducting physical activity counseling.
HIA emerged from the fields of environmental health, the social view of health, and a focus on health equity. It combines procedures, methods and tools to assess potential health impacts of policies, programs and projects. Key milestones in the development of HIA included environmental disasters in the 1950s-60s that highlighted links between the environment and health, and reports from the 1970s-80s that emphasized social and environmental determinants of health and health inequities. Formal HIA practice arose in the 1990s and 2000s with the goal of considering health impacts and equity earlier in the decision making process.
Free weight loss and diet tips for healthy eating and portion control of foodPrab Tumpati
This is a public domain document from the state of Vermont with excellent points on portion control. 20 years ago, a typical bagel was 3” and 140 calories. Today, a typical bagel is 6” and 360 calories.
The larger bagel is an extra 200 calories. Eating 22 extra calories a day equals a weight gain of 23 pounds a year.
As we welcome the new year 2014, it is important to make a resolution to reduce portions as even cutting down by by a small amount a day can add up.
The other very important and often misunderstood aspect of the foods is the glycemic index of foods. For example, a typical bagel has a very high glycemic index of over 70 percent leading what is called "sugar rush" and "sugar crash". This phenomenon is so common that this is what drives the hunger in most people! This also leads to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, and diabetes.
How does glycemic index affect us?
Your body quickly digests the starches found in bagels, which causes your blood sugar levels to rise quickly and a few hours later, it leads to the crash. The higher the glycemic index of a food, the more it affects your blood sugar levels. Table sugar or sucrose has a glycemic index of 60, while the glycemic index of bagels averages 70 - a bagel is worse than even sugar. A breakfast rich in high-glycemic foods such as bagels can predispose you to weight gain, type 2 diabetes and heart problems.
In fact, Sumo wrestlers in Japan intentionally eat high glycemic diet for rapid weight gain, and there are reports that body builders in USA are intentionally using this principle of insulin resistance leading quick weight gain for their benefit by using insulin. According to the CDC, a third of all US adults are prediabetic or insulin resistant, and another third have some degree of it!
According to Dr. Prab R. Tumpati, MD, founder of W8MD medical weight loss centers of America, our obsession with low fatty foods as advocated by the failed food pyramid in fact contributed to our expanding waist lines by way of increased insulin resistance which in turn causes weight gain!
If you are overweight or obese, have excess belly fat, or have metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, or diabetes, and need help losing weight with health insurance, w8md medical weight loss centers of America can help!

The document provides guidance from experts on developing successful physical activity programs in the workplace. Experts recommend that employers first focus on developing a culture of health through policies that support employee activity and leaders who visibly champion health. Employers should then leverage existing community resources and partnerships. To maximize participation, programs should be tailored to employee interests and needs and encourage social support and active transportation. Goals should be reasonable and progress regularly monitored to ensure success over time.

This document provides information and recommendations for creating a culture of physical activity in the workplace. It discusses why employers should support physical activity, including increased productivity and lower healthcare costs. It recommends implementing infrastructure like walking paths, bike racks, and showers; policies like flexible schedules and active meeting formats; and social support like walking groups. Metrics for measuring success include decreased sedentary time, increased activity opportunities and their usage, and improved employee satisfaction. Examples are given for implementing changes to the environment, policies, and social support systems. Case studies showcase specific worksite wellness initiatives undertaken by local companies.
The studies examined:
1) A health promotion program for children that had high dropout rates due to coaches focusing only on performance instead of health.
2) A program for at-risk men ages 18-35 that saw improvements in health measures but also high attrition due to barriers to participation.
3) A personalized health program for older men that led to important lifestyle changes despite limited physiological changes.
The conclusion calls for football coaches and practitioners to have a broader skill set focused on behavior change and understanding participants to improve program engagement and effectiveness.
This document summarizes the benefits of physical activity for health and reducing cancer risk. It discusses how physical inactivity has reached pandemic proportions and interventions are needed. Regular physical activity reduces the risk of several health issues including different cancer types. Inactivity is as harmful as smoking. Walking is presented as an easy and effective form of physical activity that provides health benefits using tools like pedometers to help monitor goals.
Communicating with patients effectively is imperative to the delivery of high quality healthcare. In the world of physical medicine we give active care advice to help our patients navigate the world after their appointments.
Structuring advice while using basic design thinking and behavioral economics themes, we can methodically streamline our communication, improve outcomes, and deliver patients a fantastic consumer centered healthcare experience.
An activity monitor-based intervention was tested on 10 sedentary older adults over 6 weeks. Participants wore an activity monitor and received a tablet with weekly counseling. Fitness significantly improved as measured by the 6-minute walk test, increasing their distance walked by over 50 feet. However, there was no significant change in moderate physical activity. Participants significantly improved their exercise-related goal setting and planning. The intervention was found to be feasible and acceptable for this population. The monitoring nature of the devices may help with goal setting and planning to increase physical activity levels in older adults.

Seventeen women aged 55-89 participated in an 18-session, twice weekly gentle exercise program focused on walking and chair exercises. The program aimed to increase knowledge of an active lifestyle, physical functioning, and satisfaction. Results showed participants increased their distance walked, heart rate increased into the target range, and they reported enjoying the social benefits and motivation to be more active despite no significant change in pain levels. The program was effective in improving physical functioning and knowledge of an active lifestyle for rural older adults.
Effect of Eight Weeks Conditioning On Body Mass Index of College StudentsIOSR Journals
This study examined the effects of an eight-week conditioning program on the body mass index (BMI) of 50 male college students aged 17 to 23 years old. The students participated in conditioning exercises six days per week for one hour each session. BMI was measured before and after the eight weeks through pre- and post-tests. The results showed that the mean BMI decreased significantly from 25.66 to 24.30, indicating that participation in regular conditioning exercises can be effective for lowering BMI in college students.
This document discusses Alzheimer's disease (AD) as a major public health problem in Australia. It is the second leading cause of death and affects about 30% of those over 85. The aging population means costs associated with AD will rise dramatically to $16.7 billion by 2036. Nearly 70% of Australian adults are sedentary, increasing their risk of AD. Modifiable risk factors include physical inactivity, smoking, obesity, and diabetes. The goal is to increase access to physical exercise for sedentary workers aged 40-45 in Sydney to reduce AD risk. Evidence shows physical activity can improve brain health and reduce AD risk. The proposed intervention includes a workplace physical activity program and education on exercise benefits.

Une grande incertitude découle de l’apparition de nouvelles maladies infectieuses comme la COVID-19, ce qui pose des défis uniques en matière de communication, différents d’autres initiatives de communication en santé. Une communication de crise efficace est essentielle à la promotion des comportements de prévention recommandés (comme la distanciation physique, l’hygiène des mains, le port du masque et la vaccination) et au maintien de la confiance durant la crise. Cette séance présentera un survol des meilleures pratiques en matière de communication de crise en santé publique dans les médias sociaux et abordera leur application concrète durant la COVID-19. D’abord, les meilleures pratiques en ce qui a trait à une communication de crise efficace pour démontrer que l’on est digne de confiance seront présentées. Le guide de communication de crise dans les médias sociaux, largement diffusé et téléchargé, offre des conseils pratiques en matière de santé publique. Par la suite, la communication de crise de Santé publique Ottawa dans les médias sociaux durant la COVID-19 sera examinée pour mettre en évidence les leçons tirées et les principales stratégies utilisées par l’équipe. Le compte Twitter de Santé publique Ottawa est le compte d’une autorité locale de santé publique le plus suivi en Amérique du Nord, et l’excellence de son travail dans les médias sociaux tout au long de la pandémie de COVID-19 a été soulignée par des organisations comme l’Agence de la santé publique du Canada, l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé, la Fondation Rockefeller et plusieurs autres.
High levels of uncertainty result from emerging infectious diseases like COVID-19, creating unique communication challenges that are different from other health communication initiatives. Effective crisis communication is essential to promote the recommended prevention behaviors (e.g., physical distancing, hand hygiene, mask-wearing, and vaccination) and to maintain trust during the crisis. The Guidebook for Social Media Crisis Communication has been widely shared and downloaded, providing practical advice for public health. This session will provide an overview of best practices for social media crisis communication for public health and its practical application during COVID-19. First, the best practices for effective crisis communication to demonstrate trustworthiness will be presented. Next, Ottawa Public Health’s social media crisis communication during COVID-19 will be explored to highlight the lessons learned and key strategies the team employs. Ottawa Public Health’s Twitter account is the most-followed local public health account in North America, and their social media work throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has been lauded for its excellence by organizations like the Public Health Agency of Canada, the World Health Organization, the Rockefeller Foundation and many others.
Presenters:
Dr. Melissa MacKay, University of Guelph - Dr. Melissa MacKay is a postdoctoral scholar and Sessional Instructor for the Master of Public Health program at the University of Guelph. Her research focuses on effective health and crisis communication, with a specific focus on social media.

5. Purpose
To assess the impact of a community-based
and Indigenous led approach in improving
cardiometabolic-related health and fitness
outcomes and reducing sedentary ac:vity
:me in Indigenous adults living in a rural
and remote community.
6. Introduc3on
• Cardiometabolic syndrome is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities that are
risk factors for cardiovascular disease (Kirk & Klein, 2009)
• Cardiorespiratory fitness (maximal aerobic power; strong predictor of
cardiometabolic health) is declining in Canadian Indigenous populations
(Hedayat et al., 2018)
• Greater prevalence of select chronic conditions among Indigenous peoples
(Foulds et al., 2011; 2012)
7. Introduction
• Health benefits of physical ac:vity: what is the minimum threshold?
• InternaFonal guidelines: 150 min/week (30 min/day) of MVPA in bouts of ≥10 min
(Tremblay et al., 2011)
• NO clear threshold for benefits
• Health benefits can be gained from adhering to guidelines that are well below
current recommendaFons
• Evidence: SystemaFc review of current systemaFc reviews, ACSM PosiFon Stand
(Warburton & Bredin, 2017; ACSM, 2011)
8. Introduction
• Health benefits of physical activity: what is the minimum threshold?
“More is better, but every little bit counts.”
(Warburton & Bredin, 2017)
10. Cultural Safety
• Current evidence calls for more culturally relevant and safe
approaches: strengths-based approaches
(Pelle:er et al., 2017)
• Need to learn about the strengths, goals, and aspira:ons of
Indigenous communi:es
(Warburton & Bredin, 2017)
• However, rela:vely few inves:ga:ons consider the aspira:ons of the
community and/or include Indigenous leaders in the design and
implementa:on of the interven:on
(Anand et al., 2007)
11. Purpose
To assess the impact of a community-based
and Indigenous led approach in improving
cardiometabolic-related health and fitness
outcomes and reducing sedentary activity
time in Indigenous adults living in a rural
and remote community.
12. Hypotheses
1) Participants would exhibit significant and clinically relevant
improvements in health-related physical fitness measures.
2) The greatest relative changes in health markers would be seen in
those with the lowest physical activity and/or fitness levels at
baseline.
3) Participants would exhibit significant reductions in sedentary
activity time.
4) The greatest reductions in sedentary activity time would be seen
in those exhibiting the greatest increase in MVPA time.
18. “Community Voice”
If you were to design a healthy lifestyle
program that could reduce diseases (e.g.,
heart disease, diabetes) for your
community, what would it look like?
Word cloud visualization generated on UBC Qualtrics
19. “Community Voice”
• The following thoughts were voiced by Indigenous community members:
There is strong support for Elders
to be program champions
There is a need to groom
young champions and role
models for community-
based initiatives.
Elders can teach ‘tips and tricks”
to youth and children, allowing
for the intergenerational sharing
of knowledge.
There is strong support for
Elder-only acCviCes in
healthy lifestyle behaviours

47. Cultural Safety: A Strengths-Based Approach
A strengths-based approach considers:
1. The growth and safety of the community as a whole
2. Innate strengths and aspira:ons unique to the community
3. The tradi:onal, historical, and cultural perspec:ves of teaching
and learning unique to diverse Indigenous communi:es in Canada
