Clinician-Facilitated Physical Activity Intervention Versus Pulmonary Rehabilitation for improving Physical Activity in COPD: A Feasibility Study KU Leuven
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) may not suit all individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and may not result in increased physical activity. Higher levels of physical activity are associated with reduced mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of conducting a trial to investigate the effectiveness of a clinician-facilitated physical activity intervention (PAI) versus PR in improving ...
Effects of a school based health promotion intervention on physical activity and physical fitness in Ecuadorian adolescents: a cluster randomized controlled trial Universiteit Gent
Background: We assessed if a school-based intervention improved physical activity, fitness and sedentary behavior among Ecuadorian adolescents. Methods: The ACTIVITAL program promoted physical activity and the reduction of sedentary behavior (mainly screen time) through 15 school classes and awareness raising activities (e;g. walking trail ) in 11 to 15 years old adolescents.

Effectiveness of a Lifestyle Physical Activity versus a Structured Exercise Intervention on Physical Fitness and Health in Older Adults KU Leuven
Two groups of sedentary older adults, participating either in a lifestyle physical activity intervention (LIFE, n = 60) or a structured exercise intervention (STRU, n = 60), were compared with a control group (CO, n = 66) in terms of physical fitness and cardiovascular risk factors. Participants of LIFE were stimulated to integrate physical activity in their daily routines and received an individualized home-based program. Participants of STRU ...
Effectiveness of feedback and need-supportive coaching on physical activity among working adults: Validation of a multisensory activity device and evaluation of an intervention KU Leuven
The current physical activity (PA) recommendations advise adults toperform moderate-intensity aerobic PA for a minimum of 30 minutes five days a week or vigorous-intensity aerobic activity for a minimum of 20 minutes three days a week. Despite many evidence supporting PA for the prevention and management of several health problems such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease and certain forms of cancer, 41% of the Belgian population does ...
