“…Si bien los beneficios del TT superan con creces al trabajo presencial, también tiene algunas desventajas que podrían afectar la salud física y por ende podrían incrementar el riesgo de sedentarismo y obesidad, propiciando el desarrollo de enfermedades cardiovasculares; (Pérez, 2010;Knox, Biddle, Esliger, Piggin, & Sherar, 2014;Henke et al, 2016;Organización Internacional de Trabajo, 2016;Sánchez et al, 2019;Gómez et al, 2020). Sin embargo, se podría concluir también que un programa de acompañamiento al teletrabajador en estos aspectos de salud, donde se promueva el ejercicio físico y la importancia de una nutrición adecuada respetando tiempos de comida y comidas balanceadas, podría solventar estas desventajas y reducir el riesgo del sedentarismo y desórdenes en los habitos alimentarios.…”

INTRODUCCIÓN: el teletrabajo es una modalidad laboral relativamemente nueva en Costa Rica, su incursión en el campo laboral ha sido paulatino pero constante, ya que posee muchas ventajas para el empleador y el funcionario; sin embargo, algunos estudios han determinado que esta modalidad laboral, también presenta algunas desventajas en el ámbito de salud física. El sedentarismo y el incumplimiento en tiempos de comidas, son dos de las desventajas que señalan algunos autores como las principales variables que propician el desarrollo de obesidad y por ende un mayor riesgo de desarrollo de enfermedades cardiovasculares. OBJETIVO: comprobar las hipótesis alternativas de que a) los teletrabajadores realizan más actividad física que los trabajadores presenciales b) los teletrabajadores realizan más tiempos de comida con respecto a los trabajadores presenciales. MÉTODOS: se aplicó una encuesta al grupo de teletrabajadores obteniendo una respuesta de 241 participantes, se aplicó la misma encuesta a un grupo control de trabajadores presenciales obteniéndose una respuesta de 223 participantes. RESULTADOS: se rechazaron las hipótesis alternativas, puesto que los trabajadores presenciales son los que realizan más actividad física y cumplimiento de tiempos de comida. CONCLUSIÓN: El teletrabajo sigue presentando mayores ventajas para el empleador y el funcionario, sin embargo, las desventajas asociadas a esta modalidad como el sedentarismo y el incumplimiento en tiempos de comida podrían aumentar el riesgo de obesidad y enfermedades cardiovasculares.

“…The focus of the campaign was novel in targeting outdoor play in the context of screen time. Its evaluation also contributes to a limited body of research examining the presentation of sedentary behaviour in mass media campaigns (Knox et al, 2015). The large sample, weighted to reflect the overall Canadian demographic, was also a strength.…”

“…Further, an important consideration is the trade-off between screen time and other activities that are health-enhancing (e.g., active play; Tandy, 1999). Though it is recognized that screen time and active play are distinct (Knox, Biddle, Esliger, & Sherar, 2015), there is a relationship between the two (Anderson, Economos, & Must, 2008). Often, sedentary behaviour takes place during children's free time that may otherwise, in the absence of screens, involve active play.…”

“…An evaluation of this campaign concluded that it was marginally effective in increasing parental knowledge of physical activity guidelines and creating more realistic impressions of children's activity levels (Gainforth et al, 2015). While "Think Again" and other campaigns target physical activity in children, a limited body of research exists on the presentation of sedentary behaviour in mass media campaigns (Knox et al, 2015).…”

In the context of rising screen time, only a third of Canadian children are achieving adequate amounts of active play, an important source of physical activity. ParticipACTION, a national not-forprofit organization, created the "Make Room for Play" campaign targeting parents with television advertisements depicting how screen time takes away from active play. The advertisements featured children engaging in active play (e.g., jump rope) while a black screen progressively sequesters the room for them to play. This study's purpose was to evaluate the campaign using the hierarchy of effects model, a framework for conceptualizing the impact of mass media campaigns. It was hypothesized that recall would relate to intermediate (e.g., cognitions, self-efficacy) and distal (e.g., parental support) factors. Twenty-six percent of the general population and caregiver samples surveyed (N=1576) recalled (unaided) the advertisement and 45.9% recalled when prompted. Parental support was significantly higher in those recalling the campaign, p=.009. Twenty-four percent of parents reporting unaided recall (versus 14.0% of those not) tried to engage in active play with their children and 21.2% (versus 12.0%) tried to create opportunities for children to engage in play. Strengths and limitations of mass media approaches targeting active play and screen time are discussed.

“…Large doses of physical activity (~60-75 min/day) have been shown to offset the increased risk associated with prolonged sedentary behaviour [6]; unfortunately, the majority of Canadians fall well below these levels [7]. As a result, public health messaging emphasizes the importance of reducing prolonged time spent sedentary in addition to getting adequate physical activity and sleep [8]. The Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth include a recommendation to reduce leisure screen time to 2 h or less per day and to limit prolonged sitting [9]; guidelines for adults are under development.…”

Background: Historical changes in the nature of sedentary activities have been observed in other countries, but it is not clear if similar trends exist in Canada. It is also unclear how changes in the measurement of sedentary behaviour affects national estimates. Our objective is to document all sources and measures of sedentary behaviour from Canadian, nationally representative surveys, and report on selected estimates of time spent in sedentary activities. Lessons learned can benefit the wider international surveillance community. Methods: We describe and document all data sources of sedentary behaviour at the national level in Canada, and report on selected prevalence data from repeated cross-sectional surveys. We summarize amounts of total deviceassessed sedentary time and self-reported sedentary activities (e.g., passive travel, leisure television, computer, video games, screen, and reading) by age group over time. Results: Nineteen national surveys were identified. Changes in questions and/or response categories precluded direct assessment of trends over time for some measures; however, certain trends were observed. Accelerometermeasured sedentary time, leisure reading (among those < 50 years) and television/video viewing in younger age groups have remained relatively stable (with a possible slight decline in television/video viewing). Time spent in passive travel and leisure computer and electronic device use appears to have increased. Television and video viewing appears to have increased in older adults while their leisure reading appears to have fallen. Conclusions: Changes in measurement of sedentary behaviour can affect estimates and reduce comparability over time. Total leisure screen use appears to have increased over time, reflecting the ways in which Canadians spend their free time and technological advances. The main public health message is the need for continued efforts to reduce leisure screen use, especially among youth and older adults.
