This study aims to determine the factors which constraint and facilitate individuals’ participation to physical activities. Sample group of the study consist of 691 individuals who live in different districts of Ankara and chosen by random sampling method. In the study “Leisure Constraints Scale-18” is used to determine the factors that constraint individuals’ participation to physical activities and “Leisure Facilitators Scale” to determine the factors that facilitate the individuals’ participation to physical activities. As a statistical method frequency, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, ANOVA, single factorial MANOVA, and Pearson Correlation tests were used. According to the analysis results, it is determined that “Intrinsic Facilitators” is a factor that affects women to participate physical activity and has a higher role in constraining single participants to join physical activity. Furthermore, it is revealed that perceptions of constraint decrease with the increase in participants’ level of income. As a result, the most important factor that constraints individuals’ participation to physical activity is “Structural Constraints” and the most important factor that facilitates is “Intrapersonal Facilitators”.  Extended English abstract is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı bireylerin fiziksel aktivitelere katılımını engelleyen/kısıtlayan ve kolaylaştıran faktörleri belirlemektir.

Abstract: Physical activities include all body movements ranging from a small movement to a movement that involves several large muscles such as lifting the arms and legs. During a physical activity, the body temperature will increase, and as a compensatory mechanism, the body will sweat and release several kinds of electrolyte such as magnesium, sodium, and potassium. Potassium is a macronutrient that is widely available in the intracellular fluid (ICF). The normal value of serum potassium is 3.5-5.0 mmol/L. This study aimed to obtain the comparison of blood potassium levels of fourth year students of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Sam Ratulangi Manado, before and after vigorous physical activities. This was an experimental study with a one group pretest-posttest design. There were 21 male students as respondents obtained by using the simple random sampling method. Data were analyzed by using the paired t-test. The physical activity conducted was playing futsal for 2x20 minutes with a break of 10 minutes in between. The results showed that the average of serum potassium level before doing the physical activity was 3.7 mmol/L, and the average of the serum potassium level after doing physical activity was 3.8 mmol/L. The paired t-test showed a p value of 0.061 (p>0.05). Conclusion: There was no significant difference between serum potassium levels before and after vigorous physical activity, Keywords: potassium, physical activity, vigorous intensity Abstrak: Aktivitas fisik meliputi semua gerakan tubuh mulai dari gerakan kecil sampai gerakan yang melibatkan pergerakan beberapa otot besar seperti saat mengangkat lengan atau tungkai.

Do So

We tested whether the relationship between subjective physical age and physical activity is mediated by planning. Participants came from a broad age range (25–78 years, M = 39.57, standard deviation = 10.75) and reported relatively good health ( M = 3.36, standard deviation = 0.90). The model supported the suggested mediation ( β = −.01, standard error = .01, p = .042). Feeling physically younger is associated with higher planning to adopt higher levels of physical activity and more planning is associated with more subsequent physical activity. Results open avenues for interventions that help people to become more active by focusing on subjective age. One way to do so might be tailoring approaches for interventions.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Education may increase physical activity (PA) in patients (pts) with high cardiovascular (CV) risk. Objectives To assess the effects of preventive counseling with focus on diet modification with remote support by phone on PA levels in high CV risk pts. Methods This is a randomized controlled study of pts aged 40 to 65 years with high/very high CV risk (Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation scale [SCORE], ≥5%) and any 2 metabolic syndrome criteria.  Pts were randomized into 2 groups in 1:1 ratio. Intervention group received comprehensive preventive counseling with focus on healthy diet followed by 3 months of biweekly remote counseling by phone (a total of 6 sessions). Control group received usual care including basic preventive counseling. PA was assessed by International Questionnaire on Physical Activity (IPAQ) at baseline, at 6 and 12 months.  Results A total of 100 pts (women, 80%, aged 59.85 ± 4.47 years) were randomized. Demographics and clinical features were balanced across groups. Despite the study intervention not focusing on PA, total PA, moderate PA and walking significantly increased in the intervention group vs control at 6 and 12 months. Conclusion The study intervention provided a significant increase of PA in high CV risk pts.

The Relationship

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between motor skills and body mass index (BMI) along with physical activity level (PAL) of children aged 8-10 years. A total of 376 children (female = 168, male = 208) aged 8-10 years participated in the study. In the study, BMIs of children were determined by [body weight (kg) / height (m2)] formula, PALs were determined by Physical Activity Questionnare for Older Children (PAQ-C) and motor skills by Allgemeiner Sportmotorischer Test (AST). Pearson Correlation Analysis was used to determine the relationship between motor skill and BMI along with PAL. As a result of the study, a significant positive correlation was found between PAL and AST20 m-running, AST6 min running and ASTtotal score, while a negative correlation was found between BMI and AST20 m running, ASThurdle run, AST medicine ball toss, AST6 min running and ASTtotal score. In addition, it was found that the majority of children in the AST classification were in the moderate (46.3%) and poor (45.5%) motor skills category and no children were in the very good motor skills category. As a result, it can be stated that motor development can be achieved by directing children to physical activities and high BMI constitutes a limitation of motor skills of children. Considering this situation, it may be recommended to direct children to physical activities in order to increase the motor skill that has a positive effect on success and ability to work positively or negatively at every stage of life. ​​Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. Özet Çalışmanın amacı, 8-10 yaşları arasındaki çocukların motor becerileri ile vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) ve fiziksel aktivite düzeyi (FAD) arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya 8-10 yaş arası toplam 376 (kız= 168, erkek=208) çocuk katılmıştır. Çalışmada çocukların VKİ’leri [vücut ağırlığı (kg)/boy (m2)] formülü ile, FAD’leri İlköğretim Öğrencileri İçin Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi (PAQ-C) ile motor becerileri ise Allgemeiner Sportmotorischer Test (AST) ile belirlenmiştir. Motor beceri ile VKİ ve FAD arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemede Pearson Korelasyon Analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, FAD ile AST20 m koşu, AST6 dk koşu ve ASTtoplam skoru arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki belirlenirken, VKİ ile AST20 m koşu, ASTengel koşusu, ASTsağlık topu atma, AST6 dk koşu ve ASTtoplam skoru arasında negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca AST sınıflandırılmasında çocukların çoğunluğunun orta (%46,3) ve kötü (%45,5) motor beceri kategorisinde olduğu ve çok iyi motor beceri kategorisinde hiçbir çocuğun bulunmadığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak çocukların fiziksel aktivitelere yönlendirilerek motor becerilerinde gelişim sağlana bilineceği ve yüksek VKİ’nin çocukların motor becerilerinde sınırlama oluşturduğu söylenebilir. Bu durum göz önüne alınarak hayatın her aşamasında başarıyı ve iş yapabilme kapasitesini olumlu ya da olumsuz olarak etkileyen motor becerinin artırılması için çocukları fiziksel aktivitelere yönlendirmek önerilebilir
