James F. Sallis,Ester Cerin,Ester Cerin,Terry L. Conway,Marc A. Adams,Lawrence D. Frank,Michael Pratt,Deborah Salvo,Jasper Schipperijn,Graham Smith,Kelli L. Cain,Rachel Davey,Jacqueline Kerr,Poh-Chin Lai,Josef Mitáš,Rodrigo Siqueira Reis,Rodrigo Siqueira Reis,Olga L. Sarmiento,Grant Schofield,Jens Troelsen,Delfien Van Dyck,Ilse De Bourdeaudhuij,Neville Owen +22 more
TL;DR: Design of urban environments has the potential to contribute substantially to physical activity and similarity of findings across cities suggests the promise of engaging urban planning, transportation, and parks sectors in efforts to reduce the health burden of the global physical inactivity pandemic.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Text Message-Based Intervention for Weight Loss: Randomized Controlled Trial
Kevin Patrick,Fred Raab,Marc A. Adams,Lindsay Dillon,Marian Zabinski,Cheryl L. Rock,William G. Griswold,Gregory J. Norman +7 more
TL;DR: Text messages might prove to be a productive channel of communication to promote behaviors that support weight loss in overweight adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of eHealth interventions for physical activity and dietary behavior change.
Gregory J. Norman,Marion F. Zabinski,Marc A. Adams,Dori E. Rosenberg,Dori E. Rosenberg,Amy L. Yaroch,Audie A. Atienza +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of eHealth intervention studies for adults and children that targeted behavior change for physical activity, healthy eating, or both behaviors is presented, where participants interacted with some type of electronic technology either as the main intervention or an adjunct component.
Journal ArticleDOI
International variation in neighborhood walkability, transit, and recreation environments using geographic information systems: the IPEN adult study.
