Abstract Objectives Physical activity can reduce the risk for non-communicable diseases (NCD), such as obesity and type-2 diabetes, which are higher in Native American (NA) populations than the general American population. It is worth exploring the physical activity (PA) levels of NA men and women to see if they met general requirements or differ because of the higher rates of NCDs in NA communities. Methods As part of the OPREVENT2 trial, 601 adult NA participants across six NA communities completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire- Short Form (IPAQ-SF), which includes questions about walking, moderate and vigorous activity. Data were analyzed using the IPAQ guidelines to create a categorical variable of activity level based on weekly total MET-minutes including truncating extreme values, leaving 586 participants. METs are multiples of a person's metabolic resting rate and help capture intensity. Based on the total MET-minutes per week, participants were broken into two categories, insufficiently active (IA) and sufficiently active (SA). Results Based on self-reported IPAQ-SF questions for walking, moderate, and vigorous activity, 71.2% of men (n = 116) and 77.3% of women (n = 327) met the requirement for being SA. Men in the SA category reported an average of 3713 MET-minutes per week compared to an average of 2818 MET-minutes per week for women, which was significantly higher (P = 0.0001). There were several men who had very high total MET-minutes per week due to the self-reported frequent and long session of vigorous activity. Conclusions While NA men may exercise for a significantly longer total amount of time during a week, a higher percentage of women were considered sufficiently active. Future physical activity education and interventions should focus on getting more NA men to exercise and focus on duration and intensity of exercise for NA women.

Physical exercise is essential to maintain human health. However, everybody has to apply the health protocols to prevent COVID-19 transmission during the pandemic. There is no exception; it is also applied for Clinical Clerkship Students who undergo the learning process at the Teaching Hospital. Unfortunately, no research provides a perspective on health protocol during the COVID-19 pandemic on daily exercise activities. This study aims to research the sports activities of Clinical Clerkship Students, measure knowledge about distance when exercising according to the protocol from the Ministry of Health, and describe their opinion regarding health protocols. This research conducted a mixed-method experiment that studies twenty-eight Clinical Clerkship Students. The type of sport and its frequency were evaluated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form. The enhancement of participants’ knowledge after watching the video and sport activity were studied descriptive quantitatively. Meanwhile, their opinion on the health protocol was analyzed qualitatively. The participants' Physical Activity Categories were 25% low, 50% moderate, and 25% high. The results showed that low and high IPAQ Catagories have a higher video post-test score, but there was no correlation. More than 75% of the students understand the contents of health protocols during exercise. We conclude that half of Clinical Clerkship Students have a moderate physical activity category and know about distance when exercising through educational videos and believe that maintaining health during a pandemic by exercising is necessary as long as they adhere to health protocols.

Type Of Exercise

Six healthy men completed three 1-hr bouts of treadmill Walk-jogging at low (L; 42 ± 3.9% VO2max), moderate (M; 55 ± 5.6%), and high (H; 67 ± 4.5%) exercise intensity in order to determine whether moderate physical activity affects dietary protein needs. Both sweat rate and sweat urea N loss were greater (p < .10) with increasing exercise intensity. Seventy-two hour postexercise urine urea N excretion was elevated (p < .05) over nonexercise control (26.6 ± 2.96 g) with both M (31.0 ± 3.65) and H (33.6 ± 4.39), but not L (26.3 ± 1.86), intensities. Total 72-hr postexercise urea N excretion (urine + sweat) for the. M and H exercise was greater than control by 4.6 and 7.2 g, respectively. This suggest that 1 hr of moderate exercrise increases protein oxidation by about 29-45 g, representing ∼16-25% of the current North American recommendations for daily protein intake. These data indicate that the type of exercise typically recommended for health/wellness can increase daily protein needs relative either to sedentary individuals or to those who exercise at lower intensities. Key words: dietary protein/amino acid requirements, exercise intensity, aerobic exercise, moderate exercise, health/wellness, nitrogen excretion, sweat, urine

AbstractBackground: Comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a process designed to restore full physical, psychological and social activity and to reduce cardiovascular risk factors. Fear of movement may contribute to the occurrence and intensification of hypokinesia, and consequently affect the effectiveness of therapy. The aim of the study was to determine the level of barriers of physical activity in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. The relationship between selected determinants (age and health selfassessment) and the kinesiophobia level were also examined.Material/Methods: 115 people aged 40-84 years were examined: 50 females (x = 63.46; SD = 11.19) and 65 males (x = 64.65; SD = 10.59) - patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation at the Upper-Silesian Medical Centre in Katowice. In the present study, the Polish version of questionnaires: Kinesiophobia Causes Scale (KCS) and Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) were used. Questionnaires were supplemented by authors’ short survey.Results: The patients presented an elevated level of kinesiophobia, both in general as well as in individual components. In women, the kinesiophobia level was higher than in men. The psychological domain was a greater barrier of physical activity than the biological one. Strong, negative correlations of psychological and biological domains of kinesiophobia to physical functioning (SF-36) were noted in women. In the case of men, correlations were weaker, but also statistically significant.Conclusions: 1. Sex differentiates patients in their kinesiophobia level 2. Poor self-assessment of health is associated with a greater intensification of kinesiophobia 3. A high level of kinesiophobia may negatively affect cardiac rehabilitation process

BACKGROUND Promoting physical activity for adolescence is a global challenge in public health. Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviors have been regarded to cause harmful chronic diseases to adolescent lifespan. However, high engagement in mobile technology for students may provide opportunities to help change adolescent unhealthy behaviors. Therefore, school sectors may play an important key role, such as implementing mobile health (mHealth) intervention to change students’ unhealthy behaviors and promote regular physical exercise behaviors, especially during the transition from adolescence to young adult. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore university students’ daily exercise patterns upon intervention of school-based mHealth project. METHODS Students’ physical exercise participation was recorded with students’ mobile application. With 4152 university freshmen (1476 males, 2676 females) and 335898 of their exercise records were analyzed (mean frequency of 38.2 ±16.10 in males, 45.1±10.81 in females) during the semester. RESULTS Under the school intervention project, students that exercised on Friday and Saturday was lower than that on other days, which indicated that the participation in exercise were more active on weekdays than on weekends. Among the participants who completed the requirement set by the school intervention project, both males and females used weekends to do exercise. On the other hand, overweight male university students participated in physical activity more than the requirement of the school intervention project and their exercise duration were found to be significantly higher than other participants. CONCLUSIONS Understanding a week of daily exercise patterns among youth upon the school mHealth Apps intervention can benefit in developing efficient and flexible projects to promote physical health and improve regular exercise participation in youth.

Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are important conditions which often coexist. Higher rates of comorbidities among people with asthma-COPD overlap (ACO) may complicate clinical management. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of 30 different comorbidities and to analyze associations between these comorbidities and physical activity (PA) in Spanish people with ACO. Cross-sectional data from the Spanish National Health Survey 2017 were analyzed. A total of 198 Spanish people with ACO aged 15–69 years (60.6% women) were included in this study. PA was measured with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form. Diagnosis of chronic conditions were self-reported. Associations between PA and comorbidities were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression models. The most prevalent comorbidities were chronic allergy (58.1%), chronic lumbar pain (42.4%), chronic cervical pain (38.4%), hypertension (33.3%) and arthrosis (31.8%). A PA level lower than 600 MET·min/week was significantly associated with urinary incontinence (OR = 3.499, 95% CI = 1.369–8.944) and osteoporosis (OR = 3.056, 95% CI = 1.094–8.538) in the final adjusted model. Therefore, the potential influence of PA on reducing the risk of these conditions among people with ACO should be considered, not only because of the health benefits, but also because PA can contribute to a more sustainable world.

Abstract Background Sufficient physical activity (PA) during pregnancy is beneficial for a woman’s health; however, the PA levels of Chinese women at different pregnancy stages are not clear. The aim of our study was to investigate PA changes during pregnancy and the association of population characteristics with PA change among Chinese women. Methods Data were obtained from 2485 participants who were enrolled in the multicentre prospective Chinese Pregnant Women Cohort Study. PA level was assessed in early pregnancy (mean = 10, 5–13 weeks of gestation) and again in mid-to-late pregnancy (mean = 32, 24–30 weeks of gestation) using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form (IPAQ-SF). Sufficient PA (≥ 600 MET min/week) in early pregnancy and insufficient PA in mid-to-late pregnancy indicated decreasing PA. Insufficient PA in early pregnancy and sufficient PA in mid-to-late pregnancy indicated increasing PA. The associations between demographic, pregnancy and health characteristics and PA changes were examined by multivariable logistic regression. Results Total energy expenditure for PA increased significantly from early (median = 396 MET min/week) to mid-to-late pregnancy (median = 813 MET min/week) (P < 0.001), and 55.25% of the participants eventually had sufficient PA. Walking was the dominant form of PA. Women with sufficient PA levels in early pregnancy were more likely to have sufficient PA in mid-to-late pregnancy (OR 1.897, 95% CI 1.583–2.274). Women in West China and those in Central China were most and least likely, respectively, to have increasing PA (OR 1.387, 95% CI 1.078–1.783 vs. OR 0.721, 95% CI 0.562–0.925). Smoking was inversely associated with increasing PA (OR 0.480, 95% CI 0.242–0.955). Women with higher educational levels were less likely to have decreasing PA (OR 0.662, 95% CI 0.442–0.991). Conclusions PA increased as pregnancy progressed, and walking was the dominant form of PA among Chinese women. Further research is needed to better understand correlates of PA change.

BackgroundExercise prescribing can help patients to overcome physical inactivity, but its use in general practice is limited. The purpose of this narrative review was to investigate contemporaneous experiences of general practitioners and patients with exercise prescribing.MethodPubMed, Scopus, Science Direct and Cochrane reviews were reviewed using the terms ‘exercise prescription’, ‘exercise prescribing’, ‘family practice’, ‘general practice’, ‘adults’ and ‘physical activity prescribing’.ResultsAfter screening by title, abstract and full paper, 23 studies were selected for inclusion. Qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods studies revealed key experiences of general practitioners and patients. Barriers identified included: physician characteristics, patients’ physical and psychosocial factors, systems and cultural failures, as well as ambiguity around exercise prescribing. We present a synthesis of the key strategies to overcome these using an ABC approach: A: assessment of physical activity: involves asking about physical activity, barriers and risks to undertaking an exercise prescription; B: brief intervention: advice, written prescription detailing frequency, intensity, timing and type of exercise; and C: continued support: providing ongoing monitoring, accountability and progression of the prescription. Multiple supports were identified: user-friendly resources, workshops for doctors, guidelines for specific illnesses and multimorbidity, electronic devices, health system support and collaboration with other healthcare and exercise professionals.DiscussionThis review has identified levers for facilitating exercise prescribing and adherence to it. The findings have been presented in an ABC format as a guide and support for general practitioners to prescribe exercise.
