Sedentary Behavior Research Network (SBRN) – Terminology Consensus Project process and outcome
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND The prominence of sedentary behavior research in health science has grown rapidly. With this growth there is increasing urgency for clear, common and accepted terminology and definitions. Such standardization is difficult to achieve, especially across multi-disciplinary researchers, practitioners, and industries. The Sedentary Behavior Research Network (SBRN) undertook a Terminology Consensus Project to address this need. METHOD First, a literature review was completed to identify key terms in sedentary behavior research. These key terms were then reviewed and modified by a Steering Committee formed by SBRN. Next, SBRN members were invited to contribute to this project and interested participants reviewed and provided feedback on the proposed list of terms and draft definitions through an online survey. Finally, a conceptual model and consensus definitions (including caveats and examples for all age groups and functional abilities) were finalized based on the feedback received from the 87 SBRN member participants who responded to the original invitation and survey. RESULTS Consensus definitions for the terms physical inactivity, stationary behavior, sedentary behavior, standing, screen time, non-screen-based sedentary time, sitting, reclining, lying, sedentary behavior pattern, as well as how the terms bouts, breaks, and interruptions should be used in this context are provided. CONCLUSION It is hoped that the definitions resulting from this comprehensive, transparent, and broad-based participatory process will result in standardized terminology that is widely supported and adopted, thereby advancing future research, interventions, policies, and practices related to sedentary behaviors.

Development of a Consensus Taxonomy of Sedentary Behaviors (SIT): Report of Delphi Round 1
BACKGROUND Over the last decade, sedentary behaviors have emerged as a distinctive behavioral paradigm with deleterious effects on health independent of physical activity. The next phase of research is to establish dose response between sedentary behaviors and health outcomes and improve understanding of context and determinants of these behaviors. Establishing a common taxonomy of these behavi...

The training sample is an important issue in the learning process of the multilayer perceptron neuronal network. For this reason at the present work the behavior of multilayer perceptron (back propagation algorithm) generalization accuracy using different pre-processing methods of training sample was investigated. In the experiments, diverse techniques were used. These were separated in two gro...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the proportion of patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) who did not met the WHO recommendations for physical activity and to evaluate the amount of time spent in sedentary behavior. METHODS SLE patients were consecutively enrolled in a cross sectional study. The type and the time spent in physical activity and sedentary behavior we...
متن کاملModulatory Interaction as a Support to Modeling Neural Substrates of the Decision Process
There is experimental evidence of neuronal groups projecting widely in the brain which are associated to state functions, like those involved in attention and mood changes. Typically, those groups are relatively reduced in number if compared to the number of target neurons they reach. Furthermore, they represent examples of the modulatory role played by some groups of neurons in the central ner...
متن کاملReported physical activity and sedentary behavior: why do you ask?
CONTEXT Advances in device-based measures have led researchers to question the value of reported measures of physical activity or sedentary behavior. The premise of the Workshop on Measurement of Active and Sedentary Behaviors: Closing the Gaps in Self-Report Methods, held in July 2010, was that assessment of behavior by self-report is a valuable approach. OBJECTIVE To provide suggestions to ...
