The Relationship

Background: The ACC/AHA currently recommend performing a 14-point cardiovascular (CV) evaluation when screening healthy student-athletes for CV disease. This includes a focused history to assess for cardiac symptoms including exertional chest pain, dyspnea, fatigue, palpitations, and syncope. Though the presence of these symptoms may suggest underlying CV disease, additional factors including hours of weekly physical activity may influence the prevalence of reported symptoms. The relationship between physical activity level and the prevalence of cardiac symptoms has not been fully studied in an adolescent population. Methods: We analyzed the results of 10683 consecutive athlete screenings (median age 15 years) from HeartBytes, a data registry of pre-participation youth CV screenings utilizing the 14-point AHA evaluation. Cardiac symptoms and hours of weekly physical activity were self-reported. Weekly activity level was reported as less than 2 hours, between 2 and 5 hours, between 5 and 10 hours, or as greater than 10 hours. A chi-squared analysis for independence was performed to evaluate the relationship between physical activity level and each cardiac symptom. Results: Chest pain was reported in 5.1% of athletes, and increasing hours of physical activity was associated with less reported pain ( X 2 = 73.01, p <.001). Exertional dyspnea was reported in 11.7% of individuals, and increasing activity was associated with less reported dyspnea ( X 2 = 120.53, p <.001). Easy fatigability was reported in 7.5% of individuals, with more activity associated with less reported fatigue ( X 2 = 376.61, p <.001). Palpitations were reported in 5.1% of those screened, with increasing activity was associated with less reported palpitations ( X 2 = 95.34, p <.001). Finally, syncope was reported in 1.1% of athletes, though there was no relationship between activity level and syncope ( X 2 = 5.53, p = 0.24). Conclusion: Increased physical activity is associated with lower rates of reported chest pain, exertional dyspnea, easy fatigability, and palpitations in adolescents. Further studies are needed to clarify the relationship in youth athletes between symptoms and CV health.

The Relationship

Introduction. Excessive body mass in turn may contribute to the development of many health disorders including disorders of musculoskeletal system, which still develops intensively at that time.Aim. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between children’s body mass composition and body posture. The relationship between physical activity level of children and the parameters characterizing their posture was also evaluated.Material and Methods. 120 school age children between 11 and 13 years were enrolled in the study, including 61 girls and 59 boys. Each study participant had the posture evaluated with the photogrammetric method using the projection moiré phenomenon. Moreover, body mass composition and the level of physical activity were evaluated.Results. Children with the lowest content of muscle tissue showed the highest difference in the height of the inferior angles of the scapulas in the coronal plane. Children with excessive body fat had less slope of the thoracic-lumbar spine, greater difference in the depth of the inferior angles of the scapula, and greater angle of the shoulder line. The individuals with higher level of physical activity have a smaller angle of body inclination.Conclusion. The content of muscle tissue, adipose tissue, and physical activity level determines the variability of the parameter characterizing the body posture.

The Relationship

Objective: Musculoskeletal pain is a common health problem in women, especially during pregnancy and the postpartum period, a possible reason for which is the lack of adequate physical activity. Nonetheless, very few studies have determined the relationship between physical activity level and musculoskeletal pain. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between physical activity level and musculoskeletal pain in physician mothers within two years after childbirth. Material and Methods: This study was an online cross-sectional self-report survey. An online questionnaire was administered to physician mothers via the online "Physician Mothers" social group in Facebook, with 3,787 members. A total of 127 participants responded to the questionnaire, which consisted of three parts, namely, sociodemographic information, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, and the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire. Results: The average age of the participants was 32.5±3.5 years. The physical activity level turned out to be inactive in 91 participants (71%), moderate in 30 (24%), and vigorous in six (5%). The most frequent musculoskeletal complaint after childbirth was back pain (n=112, 88.2%), followed by lower back pain (n=109, 85.8%), neck pain (n=70, 55.1%), and hip pain (n=52, 40.9%). There was no significant relationship between physical activity level and musculoskeletal pain in physician mothers (p=0.441). Conclusion: In this study, physician mothers were found to be mostly physically inactive, and their activity level was not observed to be related to their musculoskeletal pain.

The Relationship

The current study aimed to examine the association between music and motivation to do exercise among university students in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. The demographics data, use of music during exercise, preferred type of music, and criteria to select music were assessed by a validated self-administered questionnaire. The motivation towards exercises was evaluated using the Behavioural Regulations in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3) while the level of physical activity was assessed by Godin-Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (LTEQ). The demographics information, use of music during exercise, preferred type of music, and criteria to choose music were tabulated using descriptive statistics. A point-biserial correlation was used to analyze the relationship between music and motivation to do exercise while chi-square was utilized to determine the association between the use of music during exercise and physical activity level. The results of the current study showed that 80.3% of the participants listen to music during exercise. Energetic and rhythmic was the preferred type of music for exercise. Tempo/ speed/ bpm was the most popular factor to be considered during the exercise. Most of the participants prefer to listen to an individual music player during exercise rather than an open audio system.. Listening to music during exercise shown significant correlation with a motivation (p=0.006), external regulation (p=0.014), identified regulation (p=0.006), integrated regulation (p=0.002) and intrinsic regulation (p=0.015). There was a significant association between the use of music during exercise and physical activity level (p=0.003) in this study. Future research that involves the type of exercise performed with the music is encouraged to explore the significance of music as a motivational tool in exercise.
