Recently, gamified wearable fitness trackers have received greater attention and usage among sport consumers. Although a moderate amount of aerobic physical activity can significantly reduce the risk of many serious illnesses, physical inactivity issues are still prominent. Although wearable fitness trackers have the potential to contribute to physical activity engagement and sustainable health outcomes, there are dwindling engagement and discontinuance issues. Thus, examining its gamification elements and role in physical activity becomes critical. This study examined the gamification elements in wearable fitness trackers and their role in physical activity and sports engagement. A comprehensive literature review yielded 26 articles that empirically measured a variety of gamification features and the effect of the device on physical activity and sports engagement. The study suggests three key gamification themes: goal-based, social-based, and rewards-based gamification that can be a point of interest for future scholars and practitioners. Based on the review, we propose a conceptual framework that embraces motivational affordances and engagement in physical activity and sports.

Introduction: Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a treatment sequela with negative physical and psychological implications. BCRL is a lifetime concern for survivors and is currently incurable. With the increase in the Latino population in the United States, it is critical for the cancer care community to address factors that increase BCRL risk and negatively impact long-term quality of life. This literature review undertook to identify successful intervention strategies for BCRL among Latina survivors. Methods: Multiple databases were searched for published articles from 2006 to 2020. PRISMA guidelines were utilized. Data were extracted related to physical activity, diet, and psychosocial stress concerns of Latinas at risk for or living with BCRL. Results: Eleven interventions combined education and skill-building techniques to address physical activity, diet, and stress management for BCRL. Family involvement, peer-mentoring, culturally tailored education, and self-care skill development were identified as important for Latina survivors. Conclusion: Latina survivors may benefit from culturally tailored BCRL education programs and self-management interventions. Health care professionals and researchers should consider cultural influences when developing clinical intervention strategies to enhance outcomes for Latinas at risk for living with BCRL. In addition, including family members and/or peers in such strategies may be helpful to Latina survivors.

Global Action Plan

Introduction: Over 40 million deaths annually are due to noncommunicable diseases, 15 million of these are premature deaths and physical inactivity attributes an estimated 9% to this figure. Global responses have included the sustainable development goals and the global action plan on physical activity. Both point to policy action in physical activity (PA) to address change, yet the impact of policy is unknown.  The protocol described outlines a systematic literature review that will be undertaken by the Policy Evaluation Network to address this knowledge gap. Protocol: This review of school PA policies is the first of seven planned reviews. The seven best investments for promotion of population PA identified in the Toronto Charter (whole-of-school programmes, transport policy, urban design policy, primary health care policy, public education policy, community programmes and sport programmes) will form the basis of these reviews. Seven individual scientific literature searches across six electronic databases, using key concepts of policy, PA, evaluation and a distinct concept for each area will be conducted. This will be supplemented with a search of the reference list of included articles. Methodological quality will be assessed and overall effectiveness for each included study will be described according to pre-determined categories. Conclusions: The review will provide policy makers with a list of policy statements and corresponding actions which the evidence has determined impact on PA directly or indirectly. By collating the evidence, and demonstrating the depth of the science base which informs these policy recommendations, this review will provide guidance to policymakers to use evidence-based or evidence-informed policies to achieve the 15% relative reduction in physical inactivity as defined by the ‘Global Action Plan on Physical Activity’.

Coronavirus Infection

Статья посвящена одной из актуальных проблем современного акушерства на сегодняшний день. Проведен анализ публикаций, посвященных особенностям течения новой коронавирусной инфекции во время беременности, родов и послеродового периода. Коронавирусная болезнь - это новое заболевание, характеризующееся быстрым прогрессированием и увеличением числа зараженных и смертей с момента его идентификации в Китае в декабре 2019 года. Данное заболевание вызвано новым, неизвестным ранее коронавирусом SARSCoV-2, который впервые был зафиксирован в Китае, когда появились случаи пневмонии неизвестной этиологии. С тех пор новой инфекции был подвержен весь мир. Среди групп риска на заражение COVID-19 особое место занимают беременные женщины. Известно, что сама по себе беременность, хоть и является физиологическим состоянием, сопровождается изменениями ряда органов и систем, в том числе и иммунной. В силу этого восприимчивость к ряду инфекций во время беременности значительно возрастает. Конечно, могут быть ограничения в связи с коронавирусной инфекцией. Но при правильной организации режима отдыха, физических нагрузок и образа жизни (социальном дистанцировании и соблюдении методов гигиены и защиты) можно преодолеть эти трудности. The article is devoted to one of the urgent problems of modern obstetrics today. The goal is to review the current data on the characteristics of the course of the new coronavirus infection during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. Coronavirus disease is a new disease characterized by rapid progression and an increase in the number of infections and deaths since its identification in China in December 2019. This disease is caused by a new, previously unknown coronavirus SARSCoV-2, which was first recorded in China, when cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology appeared. Since then, the whole world has been exposed to the new infection. Pregnant women occupy a special place among the risk groups for COVID-19 infection. It is known that pregnancy itself, although it is a physiological state, is accompanied by changes in a number of organs and systems, including the immune system. Because of this, the susceptibility to a number of infections during pregnancy increases significantly. Of course, there may be restrictions due to coronavirus infection. But with the correct organization of the rest regime, physical activity and lifestyle (social distancing and adherence to hygiene and protection methods), these difficulties can be overcome.

Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis

Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis is a rare musculoskeletal disorder characterized by episodic muscle weakness associated with hyperkalemia. It is a channelopathy associated with point mutations in the SCNA4 gene, with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. We report the case of a 39-year-old patient with a picture with onset at six years of age, consisting of episodes of weakness caused by physical activity and intercurrent infectious processes, in whom a point mutation was found in the SCNA4 gene, not previously reported in the literature.
