Abstract Background: The rise of obesity creates a critical health problem in childhood which can establish obesity in adulthood. It is significant in the first years of life to participate in physical activity program. In other words, children have to perform physical activity for preventing obesity and toward reducing obesity in adulthood. In this regard, it seems to be important in elementary schools. In this regard, interventions were used to perform physical activity. We have utilized virtual reality and gamification as an intervention to increase motivation for exerting physical activity in elementary school. In reality, three critical areas have been identified to enhance quality physical education program include Promoting intrinsic motivation, enhancing perceived physical competence, and creating a mastery-oriented physical-activity environment.Methods: Mixed quantitative and qualitative study to specify the effects of integration gamification and virtual reality in the physical activity program was used. Analyses were conducted using IBM Statistics SPSS 25.0 software. Also, we used independent-samples T-test to compare results.Results: Total of 25 elementary students participated in our study. This study performed about combination of gamification and virtual reality games. we divided all the students into diverse groups. Results indicated the use of virtual reality and gamification could enhance motivation in children to perform physical activity in school.Conclusion: Virtual reality technology and gamification on physical activity environments had a positive effect on the motivation of elementary students. virtual reality and gamification on motivation leads students to achieve higher levels of engagement in performing physical activity.

AbstractBackgroundRegular physical activity is widely recommended for patients with arterial hypertension as an essential component of lifestyle modification. Much less is known about the impact of physical exercise on the management of treatment of resistant hypertension (RH). The aim was to assess the effect of physical activity program intensified by mobile phone text reminders on blood pressure control in subjects with RH managed in the primary care.MethodsIn total, 53 patients with primary hypertension were qualified, including 27 who met the criteria for RH and 26 with well-controlled hypertension (WCH). Ambulatory 24-h blood pressure was monitored and body composition evaluated with bioimpedance and habitual physical activity profile was determined continuously over 72 h with accelerometer. All measurements were performed at baseline and after three and six months. The patients were asked to modify their lifestyle according to American Heart Association Guidelines that included regular aerobic physical activity tailored to individual needs.FindingsPhysical activity in RH increased significantly after six months compared with control subjects (P=0.001). Office systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in the RH group decreased significantly after three months but after six months only office DBP remained significantly lower. After three months 24-h SBP decreased by 3.1±11 mmHg (P=0.08) and DBP by 2.0±6 mmHg (P=0.17) in RH, whereas in WCH respective changes were +1.2±10 and −0.3±6 mmHg. After six months 24-h BP changes were similar.ConclusionIndividualized structured physical activity program increases physical activity in the treatment of resistant hypertensives in primary care but the effect on 24-h blood pressure is only transient.

Web Platform

The purpose of this research was to analyse the impact of a web platform as a result of its use to support a leisure-time physical activity program based on the organized practice oftennis. The hypothesis of this research is based on the assumption that the use of a web platform for a recreational physical activity program, in particular a tennis one, will havebeneficial effects on the effectiveness of learning the game technique. The research was carried out on a sample of 47 volunteer subjects, all of them working in a sedentaryenvironment. The subjects of the study were divided into 3 groups, the intervention program consisted of 90-minute tennis training sessions, twice a week, for 4 months. Thestatistical analysis of the data was accomplished by using the IBM SPSS Statistics 20 program. At the end of the study, could be observed in total technical score, staticforehand, dynamic forehand, static backhand, dynamic backhand and serve score.
