Bibliography

  • Stevens, Gemma et al. 2018. A theory-informed qualitative exploration of social and environmental determinants of physical activity and dietary choices in adolescents with intellectual disabilities in their final year of school.[1]
    • This article discusses qualitative research that correlates adolescent obesity with intellectual disabilities, and how dietary choices and surroundings impact health and longevity. This is from a peer-reviewed scientific publication in the National Library of Medicine and a primary source, making it reliable. It does not discuss activity theory directly, however it does explain sociocultural, economic and disability topics in regards to health, making it helpful for context. It is independent of activity theory and establishes notability.
  • Nóbrega-Sousa, Priscila et al. 2020. Prefrontal Cortex Activity During Walking: Effects of Aging and Associations With Gait and Executive Function.[2]
    • This article discusses the importance of ambulation with health benefits and aging. It also investigates the effects of aging on the prefrontal cortex and how this affects elderly people's ability to walk. This is from a peer-reviewed scientific publication in the National Library of Medicine and a primary source, making it reliable. It does not discuss activity theory directly, however it does explain age and activity levels with relation to health. It is independent of activity theory and establishes notability.
  • Gems, Gerald. 2022. Sports and Aging: A Prescription for Longevity.[3]
    • This book was published by University of Nebraska Press and discusses how staying active promotes longevity and overall health in elderly patients. This is a secondary source that directly relates to activity theory but still is independant and establishes notability.
  • Engeström, Yrjö. 2020. Using activity theory to transform medical work and learning.[4]
    • This article gives definitions and explanations relating to activity theory, and applies these to expansive learning in the field of healthcare to improve medical practices. This is an argumentative and persuasive article that uses primary sources to develop as a secondary source, and includes a statement denying bias but does not establish notability. Published in the Taylor and Francis Online journal as an academic analysis.
  • Martin, Deirdre. 2009. Critical perspectives on activity theory. [5]
    • This editorial gives a historical timeline and viewpoints of activity theory. It is a secondary source that incorporates multiple sources including first hand accounts and other literature on the subject. This establishes notability as it is a presentation of multiple perspectives on activity theory. Published in the Taylor and Francis Online journal as an academic analysis.
  • Peim, Nick. 2009. Activity theory and ontology.[6]
    • This article is an educational review of Yrjö Engeström's publications on activity theory, which is an author included in this list of sources. Although this does not establish notability, it is a second examination of other work on the topic and offers depth to the understanding of activity theory and opinions of its mechanisms. Published in the Taylor and Francis Online journal as an academic analysis.
  • Roth, Wolff-Michael. 2010. Cultural–historical activity theory and pedagogy: an introduction.[7]
    • This article discusses activity theory as the sociocultural science that integrates human interaction with population success and longevity. This provides a good connection between the sciences of physical health and the studies of social interaction/psychology's role in emotional health. This establishes notability and bridges the contextual gaps between aging and activity theory. Published in the Taylor and Francis Online journal.
  • Beyer, Ann-Kristin et al. 2014. The role of physical activity in the relationship between self-perceptions of ageing and self-rated health in older adults.[8]
    • This article discusses the relationship between self-perceptions of health and quantitative markers of health to better understand how social constructs of health, and one's self awareness affect longevity. This is a primary source and establishes notability as the article and contributors are independant and published through the Taylor and Francis Online journal as an academic analysis.
  • Kim, Kyoung Tae. 2022. Social Support and Daily Life Activity: Determinants of Aging Well.[9]
    • This article is a primary source that analyzes data from a quantitative study gaining information on social and biological factors that determine how 'well' someone ages. It is published in the Taylor and Francis Online journal and serves to establish notability as it provides a connection between communicative properties of healthy aging through social interaction.
  • Bourassa, Kyle. 2015. Social participation predicts cognitive functioning in aging adults over time: comparisons with physical health, depression, and physical activity.[10]
    • This article is a primary source that uses quantitative and qualitative data to establish a relationship between social participation and cognitive health over the span of one's life and quality of aging. It is published in the Taylor and Francis Online journal and serves to establish notability as it exhibits the use of social interaction through communication and participation to influence health.
