On the #physicalactivity health paradox: Less SB and more walking or high-intensity physical activity (compared to mean composition) seems to be associated with a lower SBP during leisure, but, during work, it seems to be associated with a higher SBP. doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone…
ALT Adjusted estimated differences in systolic blood pressure (mm Hg, y-axis) given the reallocation of time between sedentary behaviour and A) walking, and B) HIPA among 652 adults. A negative value on the x-axis reflects the pairwise reallocation of time from sedentary behaviour to walking or HIPA, while a positive value reflects the reallocation of time from walking or HIPA to sedentary behaviour. The origin represents the reference composition (i.e., 372.7 and 234.2 min sedentary behaviour, 127.0 and 74.6 min standing, 49.1 and 22.5 min moving, 56.8 and 32.5
min walking, and 10.9 and 2.5 min HIPA, during leisure and work, respectively, and 457.3 min in bed). The difference in outcome was calculated by subtracting the estimated outcome of the reference composition from the estimated outcome for each reallocated composition. SBP, systolic blood pressure. HIPA, high-intensity physical activity (sum of climbing stairs, running, cycling, and rowing).
Organizing work to promote health among industrial workers with physical demanding work, can it be done? We are currently testing it out in a cluster randomized controlled trial

New editorial out! In this, we make the case for why the “Sweet-Spot” of 24h behaviors for adults might depend on occupation. That perhaps the advice to “sit less, move more” is not suitable for those with physically demanding jobs 👩🔧👨🚒👷
Great commentary on how the ‘physical activity paradox’ knowledge gap can be addressed. ‘In my point of view, just publishing more observational studies based on self-reported occupational physical activity and health will not bring the knowledge needed.’ oem.bmj.com/content/early/20…
What is most important for device-based physical activity for adults? Genetics, motivation, knowledge, sports...? Its their job. Why don't guidelines, policy & practice mainly target & focus on the work of people? About time to rethink to make a difference

New paper:
Change in cardiorespiratory fitness on self-rated health: prospective cohort study in 98 718 Swedish adults.
Decline in fitness was associated with increased risk of poor percieved health, see:

These results further strengthen the need for interventions making high occupational physical activity healthy. This would target blue & pink collar manual workers, and thus reduce socioeconomic health gap. We work on this in the @GoldilocksWork. If you like to join, let us know
