This cross-sectional study aims to analyze the physical demands of elite beach handball players during an official competition. Nine elite female (mean age: 24.6 ± 4.0 years; body weight: 62.4 ± 4.6 kg; body height: 1.68 ± 0.059 m; training experience: 5 years; training: 6 h/week) beach handball players of the Spanish National Team were recruited for this study. A Global Positioning System was incorporated on each player’s back to analyze their movement patterns. Speed and distance were recorded at a sampling frequency of 15 Hz, whereas acceleration was recorded at 100 Hz by means of a built-in triaxial accelerometer. The main finding of the study is that 53% of the distance travelled is done at speeds between 1.5 and 5 km/h and 30% of the distance is between 9 and 13 km/h (83% of the total distance covered), which shows the intermittent efforts that beach handball involves at high intensity, as reflected in the analysis of the internal load with 62.82 ± 14.73% of the game time above 80% of the maximum heart rate. These data help to orientate training objectives to the physical demands required by the competition in order to optimize the players’ performance.

Active School Travel

Active School Travel (AST) is an important domain for physical activity among adolescents; however, few studies in India have explored barriers or correlates of AST. This was a cross-sectional study of 324 adolescents aged 12–17 years recruited via households and schools from diverse areas of Chennai, India. Adolescents reported their mode of travel to school, neighbourhood correlates, and the barriers for AST. Adolescents were considered to be using AST to/from school if they walked/cycled ≥once/week during an average week. Half the adolescents usually performed AST (≥1 trip/week). School being too far was associated with 75% lower odds and parents not allowing their child to walk or cycle was associated with 82% lower odds of the adolescent performing AST to or from school at least once/week. AST among adolescents should be encouraged and there is considerable scope for improvement. Parental restriction and distance to school were the two strongest barriers for AST.

Affective Experiences

Childhood obesity is a public health problem with multiple effects on children’s life. Promoting Active School Travel (AST) could provide an inclusive opportunity for physical activity and shape healthy behaviours. Data for this cross-sectional study were drawn from questionnaires carried out in five primary schools located in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, in neighbourhoods chosen for their variability in IMD (index of multiple deprivation) and spatial structure of street networks (measured through space syntax measure of integration). A randomly selected and heterogenic sample of 145 pupils (aged 9–10) completed an open-ended questionnaire to state what they like and dislike about their journey to school. Thematic analysis identified four typologies (environmental context, emotions, social influences and trip factors) based on the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and specific themes and sub-themes underlying children’s affective experiences of their journeys to school. This study is the first known to authors to attempt to adapt the Capability, Opportunity and Motivation Behaviour (COM-B) model into AST and children’s experiences and associated behavioural domains with design aspects. Such an insight into children’s attitudes could inform urban planners and designers about how to apply more effective behaviour change interventions, targeting an AST increase among children.

Banda Aceh

Kota Banda Aceh merupakan daerah endemis penyakit Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD). Kasus DBD di Banda Aceh selalu fluktuatif dari tahun ke tahun sehingga perlu dianalisis hubungan lingkungan terhadap sebaran DBD. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan kepadatan permukiman dengan luas permukiman terhadap sebaran demam berdarah dengue (DBD) di Kota Banda Aceh. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode interpretasi visual dan overlay dengan menggunakan rancangan penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif. Penelitian deskriptif dilakukan dengan metode survei berdasarkan studi cross-sectional. Survei dilakukan terhadap kepadatan permukinan dan dikaitkan dengan kejadian demam berdarah dengue (DBD) secara spasial. Jenis data yang digunakan adalah data primer diperoleh melalui observasi langsung menggunakan alat Global Positioning System (GPS) untuk melihat sebaran DBD dan data interpretasi citra penginderaan jauh untuk melihat pola kepadatan permukiman. Sedangkan data skunder dari Dinas Pekerjaan Umum dan Penataan Ruang Kota Banda Aceh dan Dinas Kesehatan Kota Banda Aceh. Jumlah sampel adalah seluruh penderita DBD tahun 2017 berjumlah 236 orang yang tersebar di Kota Banda Aceh. Data di analisis menggunakan ArcGIS dan diolah secara statistik menggunakan Chi-Square. Daerah kepadatan permukiman jarang sebesar 46,7% memiliki 3 titik kasus DBD katagori tinggi, daerah kepadatan permukiman sedang sebesar 34,4% memiliki 7 titik kasus DBD katagori tinggi dan daerah kepadatan permukiman padat sebesar 18.9% memiliki 5 titik kasus DBD katagori tinggi. Hasil uji statistik memperlihatkan nilai P>0,05, artinya tidak ada hubungan kepadatan permukiman dengan kejadian kasus DBD di Kota Banda Aceh.Tidak terdapat hubungan kepadatan permukiman dengan luas permukiman terhadap sebaran demam berdarah dengue (DBD) di Kota Banda Aceh.
