- A Measure Whose Time has Come: Formalizing Time Poverty (2016, background): “…on obesity and attendant health risks (e.g., Bertrand and Schanzenbach 2009; Cutler et al. 2003; Hamermesh 2010), as have the time we allot to physical exercise and active transportation (e.g., Brownson et al. 2005; Meltzer and Jena 2010) and to sleep (e.g., Knutson and van Cauter 2008).”
- Self-Determination Theory as a Framework for Understanding Women's Psychological Well-Being Outcomes from Leisure-Time Physical Activity (2010, background): “In contrast, as women’s mental health problems have increased, physical activity trends in these countries have decreased (ABS, 2006; Brownson et al., 2005; Sport and Recreation New Zealand, 2007–2008; Statistics Canada, 2006).”
- Time Use and Physical Activity: A Shift Away from Movement across the Globe (2012, background): “(34) that examines current patterns and long-term trends related to activity, employment, travel behaviour and TV viewing using an array of data sources relevant within each domain.”
- Leisure Time Physical Activity of Moderate to Vigorous Intensity and Mortality: A Large Pooled Cohort Analysis (2012, background): “In recent decades, physical activity levels have declined in the United States [1] and in other developed and developing nations [2].”
- An ecological approach to creating active living communities. (2006, background): “is driven in part by different trends by domain over time (9, 49).”
- Physical activity for health: What kind? How much? How intense? On top of what? (2011, background): “The volume of physical activity has declined (8) just as we have been learning how important physical activity is for health.”
- Sedentary behavior: emerging evidence for a new health risk. (2010, background): “In 1970, 2 in 10 working Americans were in jobs requiring only light activity (predominantly sitting at a desk), whereas 3 in 10 were in jobs requiring high-energy output (eg, construction, manufacturing, farming).(2) By 2000, more than 4 in 10 adults were in light-activity jobs, whereas 2 in 10 wer”
- Physical activity and obesity in children (2011, background): “Levels of habitual physical activity in many young people and adults are lower than they were in the past”
- Socioeconomic Disparities in Health Behaviors (2010, background): “Since the 1950s, many workers have moved into occupations that are traditionally sedentary, whereas strenuous occupations have become less so due to technological changes, leading to lower levels of physical activity and higher levels of obesity (Brownson et al. 2005, Ladkawalla & Philipson 2007).”
- Trends over 5 Decades in U.S. Occupation-Related Physical Activity and Their Associations with Obesity (2011, background): “While a common assertion is that occupational physical activity has decreased in recent decades, to our knowledge this has not been examined in detail, nor have changes in occupational physical activity been associated with changes in mean body weight or the prevalence of obesity [6].”
- How many steps/day are enough? For older adults and special populations (2011, neutral): “predilection for passive leisure time pursuits [6].”
