METHODS: Subjects were over the age of 18 living around Great Taipei Area. The experimental group consisted of 32 novice dog owners, while the control group was formed using a sex- and age- matched sample of 32 non-owners. The Questionnaire of Physical Activity and Environmental Factor for Dog Owners and Non-owners was formed which consisted of three subscales including first, the Perceived Environmental Factors for Walking (PEFW); second, the Neighborhood Physical Activity Questionnaire (NPAQ ), and lastly the Dog and Physical Activity questionnaire (DAPA). The PEFW was developed by a panel of experts using Delphi Method and pilot tested by 188 dog owner and non-owners, while the NPAQ and DAPA were translated and evaluated their relevance by a group expert after authorized by the authors of NPAQ and DAPA. Subjects were completed the aforementioned questionnaire at baseline and after 2 months of dog adoption for dog owners. RESULTS: At baseline, there were no significant differences between dog owners and non-owners across all categories of PA in neighborhood and non- neighborhood, transportation and leisure time, walking and biking, as well as PA in moderate and vigorous intensity. However, Dog owners had significant greater time in leisure-time walking, total walking time, and moderate and vigorous intensity PA than non-owners. Dog owners had a significant more time in leisure-time walking and total walking time after intervention. Environmental comfortableness held the highest score to influence walking among dog owners. Perceived environmental factor as a whole significantly impact dog owners in reaching the 150 min/week recommendation. Among all environmental factors, traffic safety was the most influential factors of all in reaching that recommendation. Lee-Hwa Chen 陳麗華 2012 學位論文 ; thesis 160 zh-TW |
