Abstract:
The Pathways physical activity intervention is a school-based activity program that promotes children's enjoyment and participation in regular, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity with a long range goal of encouraging lifelong activity to prevent obesity. Recess and physical education (PE) are emphasized. After reviewing existing curricula. Pathways PE was developed from SPARK PE, which was shown to increase activity during PE in other populations. Healthrelated physical activity goals are emphasized while also developing sports-related skills. This approach was taken since adequate skill development contributes to lifelong enjoyment in a variety of physical activities. Cultural relevance was enhanced by adding American Indian games. Recess activity is increased through age-appropriate activity challenges. Two PE classes and three recess sessions per week were set as minimum goals. Pilot studies showed the program was feasible in four Indian communities. Moreover, with adequate training and support, the program may be delivered by either classroom teachers or PE specialists.

Objective. To assess the relative effectiveness of combining self-management and strength training for improving functional outcomes in patients with early knee osteoarthritis. Methods. We conducted a randomized intervention trial lasting 24 months at an academic medical center. Community-dwelling middle-aged adults (n = 273) ages 35-64 years with knee osteoarthritis, pain, and self-reported physical disability completed a strength training program, a self-management program, or a combined program. Outcomes included 5 physical function tests (leg press, range of motion, work capacity, balance, and stair climbing) and 2 self-reported measures of pain and disability. Results. A total of 201 participants (73.6%) completed the 2-year trial. Overall, compliance was modest for the strength training (55.8%), self-management (69.1%), and combined (59.6%) programs. The 3 groups showed a significant and large increase from pre- to posttreatment in all of the physical functioning measures, including leg press (d = 0.85), range of motion (d = 1.00), work capacity (d = 0.60), balance (d = 0.59), and stair climbing (d = 0.59). Additionally, all 3 groups showed decreased self-reported pain (d= -0.51) and disability (d= -0.55). There were no significant differences among the groups. Conclusion. Middle-aged, sedentary persons with mild early knee osteoarthritis benefited from strength training, self-management, and the combination program. These results suggest that both strength training and self-management are suitable treatments for the early onset of knee osteoarthritis in middle-aged adults. Self-management alone may offer the least burdensome treatment for early osteoarthritis. © 2010, American College of Rheumatology.
