5 Core themes

Physical Activity in Disease PreventionPromote physical activity and healthy lifestyles as a preventative therapy for long term conditions. Chronic Disease TreatmentDevelop the prescription of physical activity in the treatment of chronic disease. Musculoskeletal HealthDevelop models for the use of physical activity in diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal disorders, and public cost savings through reductionin work absenteeism.

Mental Health and WellbeingImprove staff wellbeing, reduce absenteeism and enhance productivity, through physical activity.

Promote physical activity in the treatment of mental illness and deliver research, education and training in the identification of eating disorders in sport. Performance Health Research elite athlete performance to further understand how to optimise health for this population and make it applicable to benefit other groups, such as the ageing population.

10

Objectives: NCSEM

• Co-locate expertise• Develop and implement physical activity care pathways that

establish the business case for physical activity as medicine• Provide opportunity for physical activity research that

improves clinical care• Stimulate advances in tele-health and tele-medicine and

translate innovations into clinical practice• Develop and implement programmes for disease prevention

through the city-wide Move More programme. • Evidence the benefits

11

NCSEM-Sheffield Vision

To create a culture of physical activity that results in Sheffield becoming the most active city in the UK by

2020

NCSEM-Sheffield Mission

Make it easier for everyone in Sheffield to be active as part of everyday life.

12

Capital infrastructure

NCSEM capital investment establish an innovative model to;

• co-locate patients, clinicians, researchers, sport and exercise medicine specialists and public health professionals across the City

• create community facilities to extend the reach of Sport and Exercise Medicine that include; research, recreation, rehabilitation and education.

Task

21

How physically active are you?

• What are the physical activity recommendations for

• Adults?• Older adults?

22

Adults• Adults should aim to be active daily. Over a week, activity should add up

to at least 150 minutes (2½ hours) of moderate intensity activity in bouts of 10 minutes or more – one way to approach this is to do 30 minutes on at least 5 days a week.

• Alternatively, comparable benefits can be achieved through 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity spread across the week or a combination of moderate and vigorous intensity activity.

• Adults should also undertake physical activity to improve muscle strength on at least two days a week.

• All adults should minimise the amount of time spent being sedentary

(sitting) for extended periods. Start Active , Stay Active (2011) Chief Medical Officers Report

23

Older Adults• Older adults should aim to be active daily. Over a

week, activity should add up to at least 150 minutes (2½ hours) of moderate intensity activity in bouts of 10 minutes or more – one way to approach this is to do 30 minutes on at least 5 days a week.

• For those who are already regularly active at moderate intensity, comparable benefits can be achieved through 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity spread across the week or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity.

• Older adults should also undertake physical activity to improve muscle strength on at least two days a week.

• Older adults at risk of falls should incorporate physical activity to improve balance and co-ordination on at least two days a week.

• All older adults should minimise the amount of time spent being sedentary (sitting) for extended periods.Start Active , Stay Active

Physical Activity and older adults

78% of men and 86% of women living in care homes in Great Britain were classified as inactive. This is twice as many as those who live in private households

41% of adults in Great Britain over the age of 70 years take a 20 minute walk (for transport purposes) less than once a year

26

National travel survey 2009. Department of Transport 2010.

Physical inactivity

Physical inactivity is described as;“doing no or very little physical activity at work, at home, for transport or during discretionary time … notreaching physical activity guidelines deemed necessary to benefit public health”

(Bull et al. in Lopez, Rodgers and Murray (eds) 2004)

27

Sedentary behaviour

Sedentary behaviour refers to a group of behaviours that occur whilst sitting or lying down and that typically require very low energy expenditure

The low energy requirements distinguish sedentary behaviours from other behaviours that also occur whilst seated, e.g. chair based exercise, but which require greater effort and energy expenditure.

Sedentary behaviour is not defined simply as a lack of physical activity; it is a separate behaviour in its own right.(Pate, O'Neill and Lobelo 2008)

Physical Activity & Dementia

The Cochrane collaboration Review (2013) 'Exercise programmes for people with dementia'; included 16 trials with a total of 937 participants. Most participants were older people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The exercise programs varied greatly; the length of time that they ran ranged from two weeks to 12 months, and activities varied (e.g. hand movements, sitting, walking, and upper and lower limb exercises) The review suggests that exercise programs may have a significant impact on improving cognitive functioning and the ability to perform ADLs in people with dementia.

31(Laventure 2014)

Physical Activity & Dementia

• Blankevoort et al. (2010) assessed the effects of exercise on physical function and activities of daily living in older people with dementia. 10 RCT’s with a total of 492 participants.

• Littbrand et al. (2011) assessed the effects of exercise on physical function, cognitive function and ADLs in people with dementia. This review included only RCTS and included a total of 10 studies with 622 participants.

• Martinez (2014) - a summary of 20 studies to improve cognition, neuropsychiatric symptoms and physical function in people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), dementia and AD. Involving over 1,400 participants.

32(Laventure 2014)

Physical Activity & Dementia

Furthermore, the findings reveal that the burden experienced by informal caregivers providing care in the home may be reduced if they supervise their family member with dementia during participation in an exercise programme.

48

Outcome Measures• We will work with the clients and carers to establish 'what they would like

to measure'. This may include;

• Cognitive functioning• Mobility and other physical function measures, and reduces decline in the

ability to perform ADLs.• Improved, confidence, self esteem, positiveness - no evidence suggested

in BL paper,

49

50

Furthermore, considering the PA recommendations we will consider the feasibility of including some of these measures •Reducing sedentary behaviour •Aim to be active every day•Accumulating 150 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise per week, in bouts of 10 minutes or more •Muscle strengthening activities using major muscle groups, at least two times per week •Balance and co-ordination activities are recommended for those older adults at risk of falls.
