“…Other subgroups of our study population more likely to participate in the NOM-tv exercises included people with a lower BMI, people living in a village, and people with a higher educational level. Comparing these results to the findings in the study of Hopman-Rock et al [15], participants in both studies were mainly older women. As NOM-tv was designed for adults (mainly targeting people aged 55 and over), on the one hand it can be concluded that NOM-tv probably reaches its target audience.…”

“…Hopman-Rock et al [15] identified determinants of participation in NOM-tv in a cohort study among an age stratified quota sample (random digit dialing throughout the Netherlands) of people aged 35–55 years and 55 years and over. The study gave insight into the characteristics of viewers and nonviewers.…”

The present study explored which underlying motivations induced people to participate in a television exercise program called “The Netherlands on the Move!-television” (NOM-tv). A cross-sectional study was carried out among 1,349 viewers of NOM-tv. The respondents completed the intrinsic motivation inventory (IMI), assessing their levels of intrinsic motivation towards participating in the NOM-tv exercises. The results showed that higher levels of intrinsic motivation (i.e. enjoying the NOM-tv exercises, feeling competent to perform this activity, and willingness to put effort into the exercises) were the most important predictive factors of more frequent participation in the NOM-tv exercises. Future screen-based interventions to reduce sedentary behavior should aim especially at encouraging people's intrinsic orientations towards physical activity in an autonomy-supportive way.

“…However, even within this demographic group, further subpopulations should be considered. For example, a Dutch television program aimed at increasing physical activity among seniors was most popular with older women who already had some knowledge of the benefits of physical activity and who reported few barriers to participation (Hopman-Rock, Borghouts, & Leurs, 2005). Yet, when compared to the overall population, even television campaigns aimed at seniors may not be reaching a majority of the target audience.…”

The purpose of this research was to evaluate television advertisements targeted at 55-70-year olds that promoted physical activity and fruit and vegetable consumption. Awareness of the campaign, perceived credibility of the source, intentions to visit a promoted website, and intentions to perform the healthy behaviors were evaluated using mixed methods research. Results from a population level survey (n = 1600) showed low unprompted and prompted awareness of the campaign and no differences in intentions or behaviors among those who were aware of the campaign. Unprompted recall resulted in a very wide range of responses including the citation of many commercial advertisers. Qualitative themes that emerged from the focus groups included neutral, positive, and negative comments about the advertisements, source credibility, website considerations specific to seniors, and suggestions about appropriate advertising for older adults. This research showed that the increased attention paid to the advertisements was due in a large part to negative reactions to the character used in the advertisements. Another important finding was the government was not considered to be a credible source of health information. Finally, health promoters should be cautious about websites as the primary source of information, particularly for older adults. KeywordsTelevision advertisements; Older adults; Survey; Focus groups BackgroundModifiable lifestyle factors such as consuming a diet that includes fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and is low in saturated fat and added sugars can improve health (US Department of Health, 2000). Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide (Health Canada, 2007) CIHR Author ManuscriptCIHR Author Manuscript CIHR Author Manuscript also recommends that adults over the age of 50 consume seven servings of fruits and vegetables and seven servings of grains per day; yet on a daily basis, only 59% of men and 52% of women between the ages of 51 and 70 years consume at least five servings of fruits and vegetables (Statistics Canada, 2007). In addition to a healthy diet, physical activity is an important factor in achieving and maintaining health. Physical inactivity is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease as well as a number of other negative health outcomes (Warburton, Nicol, & Bredin, 2006). Diseases of the circulatory system are much more prevalent in seniors but these can be improved with physical activity (Taylor et al., 2004). Taylor et al. also provide compelling evidence for the positive role that physical activity can play in bone health and falls prevention in seniors. Although population levels of leisuretime physical activity were on the rise in Canada in the 1980s and 1990s (Craig, Russell, Cameron, & Bauman, 2004), seniors continue to be among the least active, with 50% of men and 65% of women over the age of 65 years classified as inactive (Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute, 2005). It is clear that improving diets and increasing levels of physical activity can have...

“…The nine studies enrolled a total of 27,601 participants and used media campaigns that lasted anywhere between 8 weeks to 3 years. Two studies used a prospective cohort design [17,18], five used a before-after design with comparison groups [14,19-22] and the remaining two used a before-after design without a comparison group [15,16]. The media campaigns were conducted on local, regional or national levels with coverage ranging from 11 to 90%.…”

Do mass media campaigns improve physical activity? a systematic review and meta-analysis

BackgroundMass media campaigns are frequently used to influence the health behaviors of various populations. There are currently no quantitative meta-analyses of the effect of mass media campaigns on physical activity in adults.MethodsWe searched six electronic databases from their inception to August 2012 and selected prospective studies that evaluated the effect of mass media campaigns on physical activity in adults. We excluded studies that did not have a proper control group or did not report the uncertainties of the effect estimates. Two reviewers independently screened the title/abstracts and full articles. We used random-effects models to pool effect estimates across studies for 3 selected outcomes.ResultsNine prospective cohorts and before-after studies that followed-up 27,601 people over 8 weeks to 3 years met the inclusion criteria. Based on the pooled results from these studies, mass media campaigns had a significant effect on promoting moderate intensity walking (pooled relative risk (RR) from 3 studies=1.53, 95% Confidence Interval: 1.25 to 1.87), but did not help participants achieve sufficient levels of physical activity [4 studies pooled RR=1.02, 95% CI: 0.91 to 1.14)]. The apparent effect of media campaigns on reducing sedentary behavior (pooled RR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.30) was lost when a relatively low-quality study with large effects was excluded in a sensitivity analysis. In subgroup analyses, campaigns that promoted physical activity as a ‘social norm’ seemed to be more effective in reducing sedentary behavior.ConclusionMass media campaigns may promote walking but may not reduce sedentary behavior or lead to achieving recommended levels of overall physical activity. Further research is warranted on different campaign types and in low- and middle- income countries.
