RePEc:aou:nszioz:y:2021:i:2:p:13-22 Save to MyIDEAS - Stephan Brunow & Manuela Gründer (2013): The impact of activity chaining on the duration of daily activities
This paper adds to the literature while focusing on the impact of activity chaining on the duration of time spent on individual purposes. ... Second, is there any pattern of included activities that explains differences in duration? ... Leisure, shopping and personal business activities are affected by the occurrence of obligatory activities (work, school/university). ... Therefore, in terms of daily activities, obligatory and shopping activities are superior to leisure and personal business. We conclude that activity chaining and especially the pattern of combined purposes affect the duration of activities allocated to single purposes while controlling for a wide range of other explanatory variables.

Van Dijk & Sijmen A. Reijneveld (2017): Is a Perceived Activity-Friendly Environment Associated with More Physical Activity and Fewer Screen-Based Activities in Adolescents?
Background: The aim of this study is to explore if perception of an activity-friendly environment is associated with more physical activity and fewer screen-based activities among adolescents. ... We explored the association of perceived environment (e.g., “There are other children nearby home to go out and play with”) with physical activity and screen-based activities using a binary logistic regression model adjusted for age, gender, family affluence and country. Results: An environment perceived as activity-friendly was associated with higher odds that adolescents meet recommendations for physical activity (odds ratio (OR) for one standard deviation (SD) change = 1.11, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05–1.18) and lower odds for excessive screen-based activities (OR for 1 SD better = 0.93, 95% CI 0.88–0.98). Conclusions: Investment into an activity-friendly environment may support the promotion of active life styles in adolescence.

The final result, which in practice is the achieved objective, is heavily dependent on the components of a co-activity system. ... The reasons for this are to be found in a co-activity environment. It is a source of social activity because it can provoke actors to act in a variety of ways. Depending on which of its components have been activated, there may be prerequisites for active or passive behavior. The article also discusses the types of behavior which create an atmosphere of indefiniteness and characterise social activity in relation to co-activity environment and as behavioural dependency over time.

RePEc:blg:reveco:v:67:y:2015:i:6:p:110-126 Save to MyIDEAS - Loughran, David S. & Klerman, Jacob A. (2012): The effect of activation on the post-activation civilian earnings of reservists
Among the hardships of activation is the possibility that reservists might suffer an earnings loss following their period of active-duty service due to difficulties reentering the civilian labor market. This paper reports estimates of the effect of activation on the post-activation civilian earnings of reservists employing administrative data on earnings and periods of activation. Our results indicate that reserve activations lead to moderate losses in civilian earnings in the year immediately following activation that disappear and turn to earnings gains in subsequent years.
RePEc:eee:labeco:v:19:y:2012:i:1:p:18-26 Save to MyIDEAS - Richard Bailey & Francis Ries & Sandra Heck & Claude Scheuer (2023): Active Learning: A Review of European Studies of Active Lessons
Background: Physical activity is a familiar feature in schools worldwide. ... This article examines the academic effects of ‘Active Learning’ practices in school classrooms. Our objective was to test the claim that physical activity can enhance curricular achievement and learning, specifically curriculum-focused physical activity and Learning Through Movement. ... Results: The literature generally supported the central hypothesis that students in Active Learning conditions out-performed those in non-active conditions, both during Active Learning tasks and later. Whether this was due to the introduction of physical activity in the specific setting of classroom lessons or physical activity per se remains unclear.

A physically active lifestyle is an important contributor to individual health and well-being. ... Physical activity promotion and interventions are now firmly on national health policy agendas, including policies that promote active travel such as walking and cycling. This study evaluates one such active travel initiative, the Smarter Choices, Smarter Places programme in Scotland, intended to encourage uptake of walking, cycling and the use of public transport as more active forms of travel. ... This paper analyses the physical activity data collected, focussing on what can be inferred from the initiative with regards to adult uptake of physical activity participation and whether, for those who participated in physical activity, the initiative impacted on meeting recommended physical activity guidelines. The results suggest that the initiative impacted positively on the likelihood of physical activity participation and meeting the recommended physical activity guidelines.
