“…The time spent in medium walking in our study (0 [1] min) was even less in comparison to the time spent in medium walking in male adults with stable COPD (5 Ϯ 4 mins). 29 Our data show that walking in adult subjects hospitalized with CAP was accumulated in very short bouts. This is notable because the subjects included in these analyses received, on average, 2 (3) occasions of service by a physiotherapist.…”

BACKGROUND: In adults hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), increasing ward-based walking may reduce length of stay (LOS). There are few data to describe ward-based walking in this population. In adults hospitalized with CAP, we aimed to report variables of walking and non-walking time, to determine whether demographic or clinical variables influenced daily step count, and to determine whether daily step count influenced LOS. METHODS: Following admission, daily step count and variables related to walking and non-walking time were quantified using the StepWatch Activity Monitor. Details regarding demographics, clinical characteristics, clinical care, and LOS were extracted from the medical records and hospital electronic data systems. Frailty was calculated via the 7-point Clinical Frailty Scale; disease severity was measured via the CURB-65 score. Health care utilization at 30 d following discharge was measured via telephone interview. RESULTS: Two hundred participants completed the study, of whom 121 contributed > 24 h of data from the StepWatch Activity Monitor. The median (interquartile range (IQR)) number of daily steps was 926 (457-1706). These were accumulated over 66 (41-121) min/d, with a usual bout duration of 3 (2-4) min and 1-min peak cadence of 56 (43-74) steps/min. An average of 93% (89-96) of waking hours was spent in non-walking time. In the multivariable model, increased frailty was retained as a predictor of lower step count (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 0.59, 95% CI 0.41-0.85). For every increase in 500 steps/d, LOS reduced by 11% (IRR 0.89, 95% CI 0.80-0.99). CONCLUSIONS: Subjects hospitalized with CAP did very little walking, most of which was accumulated in short bouts at a low intensity. Compared with subjects with mild frailty, those with moderate to severe frailty took 59% fewer steps per day. Those with a higher daily step count had a shorter LOS.

In studies that have reported device-based measures of sedentary time (ST) in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), we explored if the monitor type and monitor wear time moderated the estimate of this measure. Five electronic databases were searched in January 2021. Studies were included if >70% of participants had stable COPD, and measures of ST (min/day) were collected using wearable technology. Meta-regression was used to examine the influence of moderators on ST, monitor type, and wear time. The studies identified were a total of 1153, and 36 had usable data for meta-analyses. The overall pooled estimate of ST (mean [95% CI]) was 524 min/day [482 to 566] with moderate heterogeneity among effect sizes (I2 = 42%). Monitor wear time, as well as the interaction of monitor wear time and monitor type, were moderators of ST (p < 0.001). The largest difference (−318 min; 95% CI [−212 to −424]) was seen between studies where participants wore a device without a thigh inclinometer for 24 h (and removed sleep during analysis) (675 min, 95% CI [589 to 752]) and studies where participants wore a device with a thigh inclinometer for 12 h only (356 min; 95% CI [284 to 430]). In people with COPD, the monitor wear time and the interaction of the monitor wear time and the monitor type moderated the estimate of ST.

“…Additionally, researchers found that older adults with chronic disease in Saudi Arabia spent less time on walking-related activities, for which more attention was required. While physical therapists have also used walking-related therapeutic techniques with stroke patients [ 35 , 36 ]. Nevertheless, the findings of this study will not only help identify the difference in effects caused by supervised group-based walking and non-supervised individual-based walking interventions, but they will also create awareness in Saudi Arabia among government and the general public about the ageing problem and ways to improve intervention outcomes.…”

Background Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) demographics are also changing with the increase in life expectancy in the country and the rise in the number of older Saudi Arabians. Saudi Arabia has a higher rate of physically inactive people, and most of them are between the ages of 55–64. Walking is one of the most prevalent forms of physical activity in Saudi Arabia and the study showed that most people prefer walking for recreational and health benefits. Therefore, the purpose of the proposed study is to compare the effects of supervised group-based walking and non-supervised individual-based walking interventions on frailty, cognitive function and quality of life among inactive older adults in Saudi Arabia. Method This study will apply a three-group (2 intervention groups and 1 control group), double-blinded, randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the effect of different forms of walking interventions on Saudi Arabia older adults’ frailty, cognitive function and quality of life immediately after a 16-week intervention, as well as the residual effects 12 weeks after completion of the interventions. Discussion This study aims to determine whether supervised group walking and non-supervised individual walking lead to different effects. Given the limited evidence in the literature regarding Saudi Arabia older adults’ physical fitness and health, it is worthwhile to explore the effect of walking, as well as the forms of walking on improving the overall physical fitness and psychological status of older adults in Saudi Arabia. The findings of the current study could also create awareness of the government and the general public in Saudi Arabia of the ageing problems and the effective ways of achieving better intervention results. Trial registration The trial is registered at the ClinicalTrials.gov PRS (Trial ID: NCT05151575; Date of first posted: 12/07/2021).
