Lesen bewegtFritz, Michael G., Ziegler, Elke 19 December 2009 (has links) (PDF)
Bewegung bestimmt im Allgemeinen leider zu wenig unseren Alltag, obwohl sie gerade für unsere Gesundheit von elementarer Bedeutung ist. Nur wer auch körperlich fit ist, kann den Herausforderungen unserer Zeit gerecht werden, den Berufsalltag meistern und ein selbstbestimmtes Leben führen. Wer sich von Büchern bewegen lässt, vergisst dabei oft, sich selbst körperlich zu betätigen. Die Kampagne empfiehlt daher „Jeden Tag 3.000 Schritte extra“. Buchhandlungen und Bibliotheken in ganz Deutschland waren aufgefordert, diese Empfehlung aufzugreifen und ihre Kundinnen und Kunden sowie Besucherinnen und Besucher auf ihre Weise durch besondere Aktionen zu einem gesundheitsbewussten Umgang mit dem eigenen Körper zu motivieren.

Fysisk förbättring utan svettningJohansson, Emmeli January 2008 (has links)
<p>The last decades the increased computerisation at the places of work has led to new physical loads in the working life and new demands on the working environment. The widespread usage of computers in the working life has led to more sedentary work and less daily movement.</p><p>The purpose of the thesis is to develop a new product to a concept that in a low intensive and healthy promotional way will activate the body. The product will make a combination of healthy promotion activity and work during office hours possible and primary aims to those with a sedentary office work, which leads to that the body don´t get to be activated in the extent needed.</p><p>Information has been gathered from studies already made in this area, interviews plus a study and an experiment. From the gathered information concepts and functional solutions has been generated and evaluated to result in a product concept.</p><p>The thesis has resulted in a concept that consists of a work place unit where the user walks on a treadmill and works at the same time.</p><p>A general conclusion which can be drawn is that the majority of persons that tested to walk and simultaneously work with a computor on the treadmill found this way of working attractive. Many were positively surprised and said that they would use such an physically activating work place implement if it was available at their place of work.</p>

The Impact of Prenatal Discussion of Breastfeeding by Health Care Providers on Feeding ChoiceArchabald, Karen 25 March 2008 (has links)
Breastfeeding initiation rates in the United States remain below the Healthy People 2010 goals. Research indicates patient interaction with health care providers may play an important role in womens ultimate feeding choice. This study sought to examine the impact of provider counseling regarding breastfeeding during the prenatal period on feeding outcome by evaluating: 1) if providers addressed womens concerns regarding breastfeeding; and 2) how providers responded to a womans feeding choice. We also sought to examine whether the type of counseling provided by providers regarding infant feeding is influenced by patient socio-demographics and stated feeding plans. This study is cross-sectional with convenience sampling of all English or Spanish speaking women on the postpartum floor at Yale-New Haven Hospital. A total of 130 women participated. Overall, 95.4% of women identified a concern they had about breastfeeding during the prenatal period, and one quarter of patients had their concerns about breastfeeding addressed. The majority of patients (74.6%) were asked about their feeding plans, and 50.5% were encouraged to breastfeed. Unlike the majority of studies that indicate young, African American, poorly educated, unmarried and low income women are less likely to receive counseling from providers to breastfeed, providers in our study area focused their efforts on this population. In multivariate analysis, neither having concerns addressed nor being encouraged to breastfeed were associated with increased likelihood of breastfeeding. Addressing patients concerns may be most relevant in the small subset of patients who make their feeding choice during pregnancy. Finally, women who were asked about their plans and had their concerns addressed (p=.010) or were encouraged to breastfeed (p=.040) were more likely to make their decision during pregnancy compared to before pregnancy than women whose providers did not discuss these issues. Likewise, mixed feeders were more likely to make their decision regarding infant feeding during rather than before pregnancy. This data suggests providers may be encouraging women to think more thoroughly about the possibility of breastfeeding, thus delaying their decision. In conclusion, many women are not being encouraged to breastfeed or having their concerns about breastfeeding addressed. All women would benefit from prenatal discussion of these topics; however, the effect may be most profound in women who make their decision regarding feeding during pregnancy.
