sedentary behavior is becoming more frequent in the workplace; In the case of university professors in the area of health, it is called more relevant since, according to their function, they can spend long hours in front of the screens and seated, but at the same time, they are the ones promoted from their training., healthy habits and sufficient accumulation of active movement. Objective: to explore through accelerometer the time spent in sedentary activities and to describe this behavior according to the sociodemographic, anthropometric, work and lifestyle characteristics of the teachers of a health program. Methods: a quantitative, observational study with a descriptive approach and a cross-sectional design was conducted. The study population consisted of 34 physiotherapy professors from a university in Medellin who were employed in the year 2021. Sociodemographic, anthropometric, work and lifestyle characteristics were measured. The dependent variable was sedentary time, the Actigraph wGT3X-BT accelerometer was used. The cutoff point for sedentary behavior is set at 100 counts per minute (cpm). Results: all teachers in this study are sedentary. 26.5% were among the least sedentary; 44.1% were located in the median quartile; and almost three out of ten (29.4%) fell into the most sedentary category. A greater accumulation of sedentary minutes was found among women, singles, residents of Medellin and of high socioeconomic status. In the most sedentary quartile, fewer hours of working hours are accumulated 29.5 ± 9.89. Conclusions: the accumulation of sedentary time may be due to an imbalance between personal life that involves social, family and work components. It is important that institutional welfare systems provide strategies and spaces for health promotion, avoiding sedentary behavior in professors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Physical activity is an effective practice to care for the physical and mental health in the general population. However, the population has low levels of physical activity. A particular population is the one of university professors who, due to the needs of the institutions and students, they often invest additional time from their free time, executing work activities, which results in a diversity of low energy expenditure activities. Objective: to estimate the prevalence of physical inactivity in a group of university professors from a health school, and to explore whether work factors are associated with this behavior. Methods: quantitative observational study with a descriptive approach and analytical intent, in which 34 professors from a faculty in the health area who were occupationally linked in the year 2021 participated. The dependent variable was physical inactivity, measured by accelerometry. In addition, sociodemographic, anthropometric, labor and lifestyle characteristics were investigated. The analysis is conducted through descriptive measures, hypothesis test and crude prevalence ratios. Results: it was found that four out of ten teachers are apparently inactive; Although the labor characteristics are not associated, some characteristics suggest a higher proportion of inactive teachers. Conclusion: the performance of physical activity in teachers is not enough to comply with the minimum levels recommended to protect health. Although the factors of the working day do not seem to be associated, perhaps due to the homogeneity of characteristics of this particular group, it is important that, from the institutional welfare systems, strategies and spaces are provided that guide their actions towards the promotion of healthy behaviors that can improve the teacher’s health.

Introduction: the assessment of postural control is important to guide therapeutic interventions in people with cerebral palsy. It has been shown that accelerometry is useful for the assessment of postural stability. The aim of this study is to verify the effect of hippotherapy on postural stability and balance in the case study of a girl with cerebral palsy, with the use of accelerometers placed in the pelvis of the subject and the horse's rump by titration of five minutes on the horse at walk. Material and method: the hippotherapy program was 14 sessions, once a week for 45 minutes. The assessment was performed before and after treatment. Results: modifications of postural stability indicators that suggest improvement post-intervention. Conclusion: accelerometry may be a useful tool for assessment in children with motor disorders, and specifically in cerebral palsy [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives. To determine the proportion of primary school students who fulfill the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations on physical activity and the factors associated with less time of moderate-intense physical activity in urban areas of three cities in Peru. Materials and methods. Cross-sectional study with a random selection of schoolchildren aged 6 to 13 from public educational institutions in urban areas of Chiclayo, Huaraz and Tarapoto. In order to measure the time and intensity of physical activity, schoolchildren were given an accelerometer for a week. Furthermore, nutritional conditions were evaluated through the calculation of their body mass index. Results. A total of 1241 schoolchildren of both sexes aged between 6 and 13 years participated. 40% of schoolchildren in Chiclayo, 56% in Tarapoto and 66% in Huaraz fulfilled the WHO recommendations to perform at least 60 minutes of moderate-intense physical activity per day. The intensity of physical activity was significantly higher in younger schoolchildren and males. It was also found that the factors associated with fewer minutes of moderate-intense physical activity per day were schoolchildren of older age, females, with an obesity condition, whose mothers had higher educational level, and lived in Chiclayo or Tarapoto (p <0.05). Conclusions. Nearly 50% of schoolchildren meet the WHO recommendation on daily physical activity, the less active groups were older schoolchildren, obese and female; therefore, actions should be focused on them to promote adequate physical activity habits.

Objective: The present study aims to compare the vertical counts registered by GT1M, GT3X and ActiTrainer.Methods: Treadmill activities, repeated sit-stands and rest were completed by 31 young, 31 adults and 35 older adults while wearing the accelerometers (GT1M, GT3X and ActiTrainer) on their right hips. Independent sample t-test analyses were performed to determine differences between counts in each age group and activities along with the Bland & Altman analysis to determine the degree of agreement. In order to determine the correction factor for the ActiTrainer counts, the linear regression forward analysis was used to minimize differences with the GT3X and the GT1M counts.Results: Differences among ActiTrainer, GT1M, and GT3X were revealed in all activities except in rest. The counts for ActiTrainer were significantly lower than those of GT3X and GT1M. The correction factor for ActiTrainer with GT1M (GT1M counts = 3185.564 + 649.647; *ActiTrainer counts - 36.163; *weight [kg] - 7.545 *age [years] r = 0.864; r2 = 0.746; r2 corrected = 0.745; SEE = 1451) and GT3X (GT3X counts = 3501.977 + 705.662 *ActiTrainer counts - 40.523 *weight [kg] - 11.864 *age [years] r = 0.901; r2 = 0.812; r2 corrected = 0.811; SEE = 310.160) reduced these differences.Conclusion: The GT1M and GT3X vertical counts may be compared. However, a correction factor to decrease differences to compare ActiTrainer counts with those of GT1M or GT3X counts must be applied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the development of an accelerometer based system that captures and analyzes Matlab cardiac signals using Seismocardiography (SCG). SCG is an effective non-invasive method of signaling detection in the chest. The project was divided into three phases; the first one was the selection of an accelerometer, data acquisition system (DAQ) and the communication interface. The second one included the digitalization of the biosignal, and finally, the third phase taking place on the SCG digital processing (DSP) for detection of cardiac events. Precordial vibrations were taken using an inertial sensor with a measuring range of ± 1.5g, we continued to digitize the analog signal through the DAQ and the next sent to the Matlab environment for processing with digital filters, bandpass, peak reduction, smoothing and elimination of non-linear trends. In the tests, the SCG system functions as biomedical device that measures the heart's activity and it is presented as a great option for the detection of early abnormalities, as well as helping in resynchronization therapies and chronic heart problems. The test measurements show the capacity to identify nine different cardiac events. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The work can be distinguished from each other by their energy expenditure and some of them could benefit health according to their characteristics. Objectives: Analyze and compare the characteristics of physical activity through accelerometry in working hours of women workers and administrative assistants working toilet at the University Viña del Mar. Methods: We performed a record 10 days hrs. for four days straight of energy expenditure through triaxial accelerometers to 8 auxiliary and 8 secretaries. It also makes Anthropometric and applies the IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire). Results: According to the IPAQ, both groups are in sedentary category, but the accelerometer determines that aids walk more steps, perform more sedentary breaks and do a physical activity level higher than secretaries. Discussion: There are jobs that can promote health, despite not meeting the standard considered “non sedentary", as in the case of ancillary amenities. Energy expenditure is greater in people who perform activities involving low-intensity exercise, which could help reduce levels of fat and maintain muscle mass of people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción: la obesidad está actualmente considerada como una enfermedad crónica, y muchos la consideran la epidemia del siglo XXI. Un desequilibrio entre las calorías ingeridas y el gasto energético puede ser la causa fundamental de sobrepeso y obesidad. Un factor importante es la tendencia a disminuir la actividad física. Objetivo: valorar a través de acelerometría el nivel de actividad física en niños obesos. Metodología: el diseño de este estudio es un ensayo clínico aleatorizado. La muestra de 54 niños se ha distribuido en dos grupos de estudio: 27 grupo AFN (actividad física + nutrición) y 27 grupo N (nutrición). Para la valoración de la actividad física se han utilizado acelerómetros ActiGraph wGT3X-BT. Resultados: los niños del grupo estudio tuvieron el acelerómetro registrando datos de 13,5 horas al día, de las cuales 7,6 se catalogaron como tiempo sedentario, excluyendo las horas de sueño. Sin embargo el grupo control, de las 13,3 horas de registro se catalogaron como sedentarias 8,9 horas al día, igualmente excluyendo las horas de sueño. Conclusión: el acelerómetro se muestra como una herramienta eficaz y válida para la medición del nivel de actividad física en los niños. Estos resultados nos indican que los niños del grupo estudio estuvieron más horas al día realizando una actividad leve, moderada y vigorosa, por lo cual tuvieron más horas de movilidad. Este estudio muestra que la actividad física en los niños está relacionada directamente con el sobrepeso y la obesidad. Este hecho nos demuestra que los consejos nutricionales no son suficientes para cambiar los hábitos alimenticios tanto del niño y como de la familia en general, los resultados más importantes los obtuvimos con la actividad física en niños.
