Latar Belakang: Prestasi olahraga bulutangkis cenderung menurun beberapa tahun terakhir. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi prestasi adalah daya tahan (endurance). Kualitas diet akan mempengaruhi daya tahan (endurance) sehingga seseorang dapat melakukan pekerjaan secara efektif dan efisien dalam waktu yang lama tanpa menimbulkan kelelahan yang berlebihan. Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan antara kualitas diet dan daya tahan atlet bulutangkis remaja di Kota SemarangMetode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian cross sectional. Subjek adalah 60 atlet bulutangkis usia 12-18 tahun. Variabel perancu adalah aktivitas fisik dan persen lemak tubuh subjek. Pengukuran daya tahan dengan metode Multistage Fitness Test (MFT). Data yang dikumpulkan yaitu kebiasaan makan yang diambil menggunakan Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQFFQ) dan data aktivitas fisik menggunakan Physical Activity Quistionnaires for Adolescent (PAQ-A). Kualitas diet dinilai menggunakan kuisioner Diet Quality Index International (DQI-I). Data antropometri meliputi tinggi badan, berat badan, dan persen lemak tubuh. Uji kenormalan data dengan uji Kolmogorov-Smirnov dan  analisis data dengan uji korelasi Rank Spearman.Hasil: Terdapat 1,7% subjek yang memiliki kualitas diet baik. Sebagian besar atlet memiliki daya tahan yang cukup (35%). Persen lemak tubuh subjek sebagian besar tergolong optimal (61,7%). Tidak terdapat hubungan antara kualitas diet dan daya tahan (endurance) (r = 0,122, p=0,353). Tidak terdapat hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dan daya tahan (endurance) (r = 0,209, p= 0,109). Ada hubungan antara persen lemak tubuh dan daya tahan (endurance) ( r = -0,480, p=0,0001). Simpulan: Kualitas diet yang baik akan meningkatkan daya tahan (endurance), namun bersifat lemah dan secara statistik tidak berhubungan. Persen lemak tubuh yang optimal berkontribusi penting dalam menjaga daya tahan (endurance) atlet. Faktor perancu aktivitas fisik tidak mempengaruhi daya tahan (endurance).

Background:Traditional approaches to exercise prescription have included a preliminary medical screening followed by exercise tests of varying sophistication. To maximize population involvement, qualified fitness and exercise professionals (QFEPs) have used a self-administered screening questionnaire (the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire, PAR-Q) and a simple measure of aerobic performance (the Canadian Aerobic Fitness Test, CAFT). However, problems have arisen in applying the original protocol to those with chronic disease. Recent developments have addressed these issues.Methods:Evolution of the PAR-Q and CAFT protocol is reviewed from their origins in 1974 to the current electronic decision tree model of exercise screening and prescription.Results:About a fifth of apparently healthy adults responded positively to the original PAR-Q instrument, thus requiring an often unwarranted referral to a physician. Minor changes of wording did not overcome this problem. However, a consensus process has now developed an electronic decision tree for stratification of exercise risk not only for healthy individuals, but also for those with various types of chronic disease.Conclusions:The new approach to clearance greatly reduces physician referrals and extends the role of QFEPs. The availability of effective screening and simple fitness testing should contribute to the goal of maximizing physical activity in the entire population.

Com o crescimento constante da população idosa torna-se necessário a discussão sobre os aspectos relacionados a aptidão funcional, uma vez que essa pode interferir no envelhecimento saudável. O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar a associação entre aptidão funcional e qualidade de vida em 1737 idosas participantes de um programa de atividade física de Curitiba, Paraná, Brasil. Foi aplicado o Questionário sociodemográfico, a versão curta do International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), e os questionários de qualidade de vida WHOQOL-BREF e WHOQOL-OLD. Também foi aplicado a bateria de testes de aptidão funcional “Senior Fitness Test” (SFT). Foi utilizado a análise descritiva das variáveis e o Modelo de regressão logística ordinal para verificar as associações entre as variáveis de aptidão funcional e os domínios da qualidade de vida por meio do software STATA 13.0 MP, com significância de p<0,05. Os resultados indicaram que idosas com aptidão funcional adequada apresentaram mais chances de estarem no tercil mais alto da qualidade de vida e domínios na avaliação do WHOQOL-BREF (variando entre 1,21 a 1,49) e WHOQOL-OLD (variando de 1,18 até 1,60). Os resultados apontaram que uma melhor aptidão funcional  apresenta-se positivamente associada a percepção positiva da qualidade de vida e de seus domínios em idosas.

PURPOSE:The purpose of this study was to compare the daily fitness tests of nursing home residents and community-dwelling elderly women after 16 weeks program.METHODS:Thirty elderly women living in a nursing home (n=14) or community (n=16) participated in the study. The program was assigned 1 hour twice a week for 16 weeks to improve the physical activity for the elderly women. The daily fitness test assessed the physical fitness levels for elderly. The tests performed the 2-min step test, chair stand test, arm curl test, chair sit and reach test, backscratch test, 244-cm up and go test.RESULTS:A result of the study show that the daily physical fitness of the elderly women living in the community is higher than those living in nursing homes. After the program which induced physical activity, 2-min step test (<i>p</i><.05) and 244-cm up and go test (<i>p</i><.05) were much improved in the elderly living in nursing homes.CONCLUSIONS:Although the daily fitness of nursing home residents was lower than community-dwelling residents, there was a significant improvement after exercise program.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between physical education (PE) and sports involvement with physical activity (PA), physical fitness, and beliefs about PA among a national sample of adolescents. Setting: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey National Youth Fitness Survey were used. Participants: A total of 459 adolescents aged 12 to 15 years. Measures: Adolescents self-reported engagement in the above parameters; muscular fitness objectively determined. Analysis: Multivariable linear regression. Results: Adolescents who had PE during school days had a higher enjoyment of participating in PE (β = 0.32; P = .01), engaged in more days of being physically active for ≥60 min/d (β = 1.02; P < .001), and performed the plank fitness test longer (β = 17.2; P = .002). Adolescents who played school sports reported that more PA was needed for good health (β = 0.23; P = .04), had a higher enjoyment of participating in PE (β = 0.31; P = .003), engaged in more days of being physically active for ≥60 min/d (β = 0.70; P = .01), performed more pull-ups (β = 2.33; P = .008), had a stronger grip strength (β = 2.5; P = .01), and performed the plank fitness test longer (β = 11.6; P = .04). Conclusion: Adolescents who had PE during school, who had more frequent and long-lasting PE, and who played school sports generally had more accurate perceptions of the amount of PA needed for good health, had greater enjoyment of PE, were more physically active, and performed better on several muscular fitness-related tests. This underscores the importance of PE integration in the schools and encouragement of school sports participation.

This study evaluated changes in psychosocial factors and self-reported physical activity (PA) among the sample of Finnish men who underwent the fitness tests during the national health campaign. Another aim was to examine whether the fitness test feedback was a meaningful experience for PA change. Baseline data were collected in 2011 by fitness test and questionnaire. Men who had low/moderate fitness along with overweight ( n = 361) were recruited to the postcampaign study in 2014. Data were analyzed with nonparametric tests, logistic regression analysis, and content analysis. The postcampaign survey was completed by 102 men. Positive PA change was associated with high goals, planning skills, and self-efficacy for PA. One fourth of men recalled that they had surprisingly poor fitness at baseline. This experience was not related to positive PA change. A fitness test may awake motivation, but promotion of self-efficacy and self-regulatory skills is needed to support concrete behavior change.
