Cattle grazing observations
No full textCattle (n = three individuals) were equipped with GPS sensors via coloured collars and continuously observed at a distance for a mean of two hours per day (ranging from 30 minutes to three hours per day). Each of the three collared individuals were all observed during each observation period, except on 16/10/2023 where data were collected from cattle ID 294364 only. Individuals were recorded as either grazing or not grazing, with the observer primarily focussing on a focal individual. An individual was considered to be grazing when observed with their head lowered, actively consuming vegetation and not ruminating.
Please note that this dataset is linked to the dataset 'Cattle GPS locations, activity and temperature', doi: 10.5526/erdr-00000215
Strength assessment and strength training practices in pulmonary rehabilitation services in England
No full textThe study used a cross-sectional questionnaire-based online survey design. Eligible participants were healthcare professionals who had a job role either running, managing, or assisting in PR programmes located in England. Specifically, they worked in PR conducting standard face-to-face exercise programmes before the Covid-19 pandemic (i.e., before March 2020). Participants were adults (aged ≥18 years) and were able to read and comprehend English. The exclusion criteria specified anyone who was currently taking part in any conflicting study. The sampling method was purposive, with participants primarily recruited via NHS Trusts and non-NHS organisations (e.g., Community Interest Companies, Integrated Care Organisations, and private healthcare providers) - all of which provided PR services in England. These service providers were identified from National Asthma and COPD Audit Programme audit published in 2020, which named 199 PR services provided by 144 NHS Trusts and non-NHS organisations. Of the 144 providers approached, 55 (38.2%) granted study approval within their PR services. Recruitment also took place through relevant professional networks and contacts. No incentive was offered to participants for completion of the survey, nor was an incentive provided to participating research sites for their involvement. Participant recruitment took place between 25th October 2021 and 6th May 2022. All participants were directed to the survey using an online web link, which was sent within a recruitment email. Before starting the main body of the survey, participants were provided the PIS, and screened to ensure eligibility, using the study inclusion and exclusion criteria. If eligible, informed consent was obtained, ensuring all participants had read and understood the PIS provided and were fully aware of their contributions to this research. After which, participants were able to complete the survey

Green Exercise Participation and Mental Health in the United Kingdom General Population
No full textEngaging in green exercise (physical activity undertaken in the presence of elements of the natural environment) has been associated with mental health benefits beyond those of physical activity undertaken in other types of environmental settings, e.g. indoors, urban environments. This dataset examines the green exercise behaviour of people residing in the United Kingdom (UK).
Between 28 August 2019 and 30 April 2020, adults residing in the UK were invited to participate in an online survey exploring their green exercise behaviour. Respondents were asked to report the mode, frequency, duration, intensity, and environmental setting (to identify green exercise) of the three most frequent types of physical activity they engaged in over the past year. The psychological health of respondents was assessed using the Depression, Anxiety and Stress scale (DASS-21) and Short Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing scale (SWEMWBS). The extent to which respondents felt connected to the natural world was assessed via the Nature Connection Index (NCI). In addition, respondents who reported engaging in green exercise were asked additional questions about their motivation for engaging in green exercise via the Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS), seven items based on the recreational experience preference scales and about their attitudes towards green exercise via the Indirect Beliefs about Green Exercise (BAGE-ID). All respondents were asked socioeconomic questions relating to age, gender, ethnicity, living arrangements, employment status, education and income to permit comparison with the general UK population

Dairy herd bunching metrics and ambient temperatures
Full text linkA real-time local positioning system was used to track the spatial position and activity of a commercial dairy herd (c100 cows) in a freestall barn continuously at high temporal resolution. Bunching was determined using four different spatial measures determined on an hourly b100asis: herd full and core range size, mean herd inter-cow distance (ICD), and mean herd nearest neighbor distance (NND). Wall-mounted temperature sensors automatically recorded the ambient barn temperature (BT) continuously throughout the study period. A mean hourly measurement was calculated across all sensors (n = 26 sensors, where n = 22 recorded every eight seconds and n = four recorded every hour)
