Journal ArticleDOI
Walk Score™ As a Global Estimate of Neighborhood Walkability
TL;DR: Findings support Walk Score as a free, easy-to-use, and quick proxy of neighborhood density and access to nearby amenities and highlight a limitation of Walk Score and warrant caution of its use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of Walk Score for estimating access to walkable amenities
TL;DR: The results support Walk Score as a reliable and valid measure of estimating access to walkable amenities and may be a convenient and inexpensive option for researchers interested in exploring the relationship between access toWalk Score and health behaviours such as physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multicomponent intervention to reduce daily sedentary time: a randomised controlled trial
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the intervention was engaging and resulted in reductions in daily sedentary time among full-time sedentary employees and hold public health significance due to the growing number of sedentary jobs and the potential of these technologies in large-scale worksite programmes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revenge of the "sit" II: Does lifestyle impact neuronal and cognitive health through distinct mechanisms associated with sedentary behavior and physical activity?
TL;DR: Evidence linking both PA and sedentary behavior to neurobiological systems that are known to influence behavioral outcomes such as cognitive aging are outlined to propose productive areas of future research.
