Determination of step rate thresholds corresponding to physical activity intensity classifications in adults

Current recommendations call for adults to be physically active at moderate and/or vigorous intensities. Given the popularity of walking and running, the use of step rates may provide a practical and inexpensive means to evaluate ambulatory intensity. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify step rate thresholds that correspond to various intensity classifications. Methods: Oxygen consumption was measured at rest and during 10 minute treadmill walking and running trials at 6 standardized speeds (54, 80, 107, 134, 161, and 188 m∙min-1) in 9 men and 10 women (28.8 ± 6.8 yrs). Two observers counted the participants’ steps at each treadmill speed. Linear and nonlinear regression analyses were used to develop prediction equations to ascertain step rate thresholds at various intensities. Results: Nonlinear regression analysis of the metabolic cost versus step rates across all treadmill speeds yielded the highest R2 values for men (R2 = .91) and women (R2 = .79). For men, the nonlinear analysis yielded 94 and 125 step∙min-1 for moderate and vigorous intensities, respectively. For women, 99 and 135 step∙min-1 corresponded with moderate and vigorous intensities, respectively. Conclusions: Promoting a step rate of 100 step∙min-1 may serve as a practical public health recommendation to exercise at moderate intensity

The Space and Time Between

AbstractThe field of architecture continues to find itself in deeper and deeper discourse with other disciplines, yet these relationships continue to be blurry and uncertain. Using the framework of corporeality established by Walter Benjamin in his 1936 text, The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, this study will consider the tenuous intersection of the author of a work, the experience of that work and the tools that are used to bring the work into being, within the mediums of architecture and film. Additionally, this study will discuss the emphasis such a juncture places on the expressions of space and time, both critical factors in the experience of reality. To establish a backdrop for this discussion, a comparison of the two fields will be laid out and traditional limits of both disciplines will be considered. Jumping off from this comparison specific architectural and filmic works will be discussed that directly challenge traditional models of production and consumption. Explorations of projects such as Diller + Scofidio (+Renfro)’s built work Blur (2002) and Abbas Kiarostami’s film Taste of Cherry (1997), will highlight specific methodologies for questioning the blurred zones beyond disciplinary practice – the space and time between. These works offer insight into these regions beyond traditional discourse, exposing new potentialities for exploration and models for disciplinary intersection. ResumenEl campo de la arquitectura se encuentra en un proceso de discurso cada vez más profundo con otras disciplinas, pero estas relaciones son ambiguas e inciertas. Usando el marco de corporalidad establecido por Walter Benjamin en su texto de 1936, The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, este artículo estudiará la intersección tenue entre el autor de una obra, la experiencia de la obra y las herramientas utilizadas en su creación, en los medios de la arquitectura y el cine. Adicionalmente, se analizará el énfasis que tal intersección impone sobre las expresiones de espacio y tiempo, ambos factores críticos para la experiencia de la realidad. Para establecer un telón de fondo para esta discusión, se hará una comparación entre los dos campos y se considerarán los límites tradicionales de ambas disciplinas. Con base en esta comparación, se discutirán obras específicas de arquitectura y cine que desafían los modelos tradicionales de producción y consumo. Exploraciones de proyectos como la obra construida Blur, de Diller + Scofidio (+Renfro) (2002) y la película de Abbas Kiarostami’s Taste of Cherry(1997), enfatizarán metodologías específicas para cuetionar las zonas borrosas y ambiguas entre la práctica disciplinaria, el espacio y el tiempo. Estas obras ofrecen hallazgos que van más allá del discurso tradicional, exponiendo nuevas potencialidades para exploración y modelos para la intersección disciplinaria.

How Feedback and Goal-Setting Impact Children\u27s Recess Physical Activity

In recent years, schools desire to promote physical activity (PA) for their students but are restricted due to resources being expended in other areas of their curriculum, including standardized testing preparation. Recess/lunch periods have potential to contribute important amounts of PA to youth’s overall levels. Interventions to maximize PA during recess are warranted. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the impact of feedback and goal-setting on students’ PA during recess. A sample of 136 (67 females, 69 males) 4th and 5th grade students in the Southeast United States wore unsealed Walk4Life pedometers during recess for one month. Steps, activity time, participant demographics, and weather were recorded daily. Participants engaged in three conditions during recess: baseline, feedback, and goal-setting. Findings indicated that boys were more active than the girls and the 4th grade participants were more active than the 5th grade participants. Results suggest that the goal setting condition was effective in increasing the percentage of time in PA during an unstructured recess period; however, it did not significantly increase participants’ steps per minute levels at recess. Goal-setting with children can be an effective intervention to increase physical activity during recess

Designing Atmospheres: Theory and Science

This book was born as the legacy of the “Designing Atmospheres: Theory and Science” Symposium, an Interfaces event of the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture (ANFA), sponsored by the EU’s Horizon 2020 MSCA Program — RESONANCES Project, the Perkins Eastman Studio, and the Architecture Department at Kansas State University. The event was hosted in the College of Architecture, Planning and Design (APDesign), Kansas State University (K-State), Manhattan, KS, on March 28, 2023. Recent advances in science confirm many of the architects’ deep-rooted intuitions, improving knowledge about the perception of space and the meaning of architectural and urban design. This volume collects four essays: “Investigating Atmosphere in Architecture: An Overview of Phenomenological and Neuroscientific Methods” by Elisabetta Canepa; “Rhythms of the Brain, Body, and Environment: A Neuroscientific Perspective on Atmospheres” by Zakaria Djebbara; “A History of Tool-Atmospheres” by Kory Beighle; and “Atmospheric Histrionics” by Harry Francis Mallgrave. Bob Condia provided a critical introduction entitled “The Design of Atmospheres.”https://newprairiepress.org/ebooks/1050/thumbnail.jp
