Predicting Physical Activity Change: an Epidemiologic Study Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, visits or treatment with a real mD. We are not doctors. Always consult your doctor about Predicting Physical Activity Change: an Epidemiologic Study conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Predicting Physical Activity Change: an Epidemiologic Study Clinical research trials and Predicting Physical Activity Change: an Epidemiologic Study healthcare trials happen in many of places across the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectivity of new drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover cures for all varieties of conditions, such as Predicting Physical Activity Change: an Epidemiologic Study. Predicting Physical Activity Change: an Epidemiologic Study Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to have health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Some times the human subjects obtain treatment for without cost, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Predicting Physical Activity Change: an Epidemiologic Study clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Predicting Physical Activity Change: an Epidemiologic Study condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include extra or frequent physician visits, healthcare dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Predicting Physical Activity Change: an Epidemiologic Study



Predicting Physical Activity Change: an Epidemiologic Study

For Condition: Heart Diseases,Cardiovascular Diseases
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) ,
Synopsis: To conduct a two-year follow up of participants in a cross-sectional study of physical activity determinants. Predictors of change in vigorous exercise habits and recreational walking habits were identified as were determinants of change in the proportion of the sample who initiated, maintained, or discontinued exercise.
Details: BACKGROUND: In 1988 when the study began, epidemiological studies had shown the health benefits of physical activity and that prevalence of physical activity was well below recommended levels. Exercise-promotion interventions were typically ineffective, and lack of knowledge of exercise determinants inhibited the design of effective interventions. DESIGN NARRATIVE: Data from the San Diego Health and Exercise Baseline survey conducted in 1986 were used to contact participants for the follow-up. The difference in reported activity level from time 1 to time 2 served as an estimate of change in activity. The follow-up survey elicited a two-year history of vigorous exercise and moderate-intensity exercise, both of which have substantial health benefits, as well as different determinants. Potential predictors were assessed at baseline and included demographic variables and indices based on social learning theory. Multiple regression analyses determine the combined and independent relationships of such variables as self-efficacy, social support, perceived barriers and benefits and environmental factors on both types of physical activity change. A second analysis separated subjects into the baseline physical activity groups of low, intermediate, and high activity and examined prediction of change versus no-change in each category.
