Sedentary Activity

Background:While much is known about the overall levels of physical activity and sedentary activity among youth, few studies have attempted to define clusters of such behaviors. The purpose of this study was to identify and describe unique classes of youth based on their participation in a variety of physical activity and sedentary behaviors.Methods:Latent class analysis was used to characterize segments of youth based on patterns of self-reported and accelerometer-measured participation in 12 behaviors. Children and adolescents (N = 720) from 6th-11th grade were included in the analysis. Differences in class membership were examined using multinomial logistic regression.Results:Three distinct classes emerged for boys and girls. Among boys, the 3 classes were characterized as “Active” (42.1%), “Sedentary” (24.9%), and “Low Media/Moderate Activity” (33.0%). For girls, classes were “Active” (18.7%), “Sedentary” (47.6%), and “Low Media/Functional Activity” (33.7%). Significant differences were found between the classes for a number of demographic indicators including the proportion in each class who were classified as overweight or obese.Conclusions:The behavioral profiles of the classes identified in this study can be used to suggest possible audience segments for intervention and to tailor strategies appropriately.

Effective Design

Climate change has led to rising sea levels and warmer sea surface temperatures. These factors contribute greatly to the intensity of hurricanes and floods they provoke. Projections estimate there will be an increase of 45% to 87% in the frequency of Category >4 hurricanes originating in the Atlantic Basin, which typically impact the Caribbean and Continental United States of America. During the 2019 Hurricane Season, there were 20 depressions, 18 storms, 6 hurricanes and 3 major hurricanes. Through this work, we explored the response on Social Media to these natural phenomena as a function of their trajectory, intensity, and previous exposure of the population to intense natural disasters. Data was collected through the Twitter API. The influences of hurricane proximity and intensity on volume of Social Media production was explored. Hurricane Dorian, with its trajectory strongly threatening the previously exposed Puerto Rico, and eventually causing widespread damage in the Abaco Islands of the Bahamas, presented the strongest case for the evaluation of the dichotomy of responses between populations with differences in previous history of exposure. The landscape of historic hurricane exposure Caribbean has radically changed in recent years. Taking advantage of Big Data to help elucidate these dynamics could be instrumental in the tailoring of emergency preparedness plans and the effective design of mental health first aid strategies.

Perkembangan teknologi di era modern ini sudah sangat maju dan berkembang sehingga menimbulkan berbagai dampak, baik dampak positif maupun negatif. Salah satu dampak negatif yang dapat dirasakan adalah bertambahnya aktivitas sedentari pada anak. Aktivitas sedentari yang berlebihan pada anak dapat berpengaruh terhadap kemampuan motorik kasar anak, salah satunya adalah koordinasi motorik kasar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan aktivitas sedentari terhadap koordinasi motorik kasar pada anak usia 11-12 tahun di SD Negeri 3 Panjer, Denpasar Selatan. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian observasional analitik dengan rancangan cross-sectional yang dilaksanakan pada bulan April 2019. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik purposive sampling dengan sampel berjumlah 35 orang. Variabel independen yang diukur adalah aktivitas sedentari dengan menggunakan adolescent sedentary activity questionnaire (ASAQ). Variabel dependen yang diukur adalah koordinasi motorik kasar dengan menggunakan Tes Koordinasi Mata, Tangan, dan Kaki. Uji hipotesis yang digunakan adalah Pearson dan diperoleh nilai p sebesar 0,700 sehingga p>0,05. Hasil penelitian dan uji statistik menyatakan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara aktivitas sedentari terhadap koordinasi motorik kasar pada anak usia 11-12 tahun di SD Negeri 3 Panjer, Denpasar Selatan. Penelitian lebih lanjut, seperti penelitian longitudinal dan penelitian eksperimental dibutuhkan untuk dapat mendukung atau membantah hasil penelitian ini.   Kata kunci: Aktivitas sedentari, koordinasi motorik kasar, anak
