Abstract.SPORT AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AS A MEANS FOR REDUCING LEVELS OF COGNITIVE DECLINE IN THE ELDERLY.Thanks to scientific knowledge, developed societies begin to assume that the population is growing significantly, which makes copper paramount importance in order to guarantee high levels of quality of life, articulation and implementation of a wide range of activities and programs that enable them to reduce their levels of cognitive impairment. It is in this context that the programs and activities of sport and physical activity are presented as outstanding instruments to ensure that older acquire and adopt efficient sports routines and healthy habits that will enable them to reduce their levels of cognitive decline and improve the quality of lifetime. From this situation, with this empirical study, we try to ascertain whether there is empirical evidence to affirm categorically that the combination of exercise and healthy lifestyle helps reduce levels of cognitive impairment in old age and therefore, to increase their quality of life. For this we used a descriptive methodology characterized by the use of qualitative instruments, such as the analysis of the main scientific studies on the subject, preceded the present. Although the data collected are not entirely decisive, it does shows that those elderly who manage to maintain significant levels of physical activity and sport and, moreover, are able to adopt healthy lifestyles will be able to maintain adequate health balance and, Consequently, a higher quality of life. interesting results are presented for future studies and research in this area continue to deepen. the desirability of the biggest sporting routines and adopt healthy lifestyles as a great strategy to ensure adequate health balance that enables them to increase their levels of perceived quality of life.Keywords: Health balance, cognitive impairment, elderly, programs and physical activities and sports, healthy lifestyle, quality of life.Resumen.Merced al conocimiento científico, las sociedades desarrolladas comienzan a asumir que la población mayor está creciendo de manera significativa, lo que hace que cobre una importancia capital, a fin de garantizarles altos niveles de calidad de vida, la articulación e implementación de una amplio abanico de actividades y programas que les posibiliten reducir sus niveles de deterioro cognitivo. Es precisamente en este contexto donde los programas y actividades de actividad física y deportiva se presentan como destacados instrumentos para garantizar que los mayores adquieran y adopten eficientes rutinas deportivas y hábitos de vida saludable que les posibiliten reducir sus niveles de deterioro cognitivo e incrementar su calidad de vida. A partir de esta situación, con el presente estudio empírico, se intenta comprobar si existen evidencias empíricas que permitan afirmar, con rotundidad, que la combinación de ejercicio físico y de hábitos de vida saludable contribuye a reducir los niveles de deterioro cognitivo durante la vejez y, por tanto, a incrementar su calidad de vida. Para ello se ha utilizado una metodología descriptiva caracterizada por el empleo de instrumentos de corte cualitativo, como son el análisis de los principales estudios científicos que, sobre la temática, han precedido al presente. Aunque los datos recopilados no son totalmente determinantes, sí que se aprecia que aquellos mayores que logran mantener importantes niveles de actividad física y deportiva y que, además, son capaces de adoptar hábitos de vida saludable van a conseguir mantener un adecuado equilibrio sanitario y, en consecuencia, una mayor calidad de vida. Se presentan resultados interesantes para futuros estudios e investigaciones que continúen profundizando en este ámbito. Se percibe la conveniencia de que los mayores adopten rutinas deportivas y hábitos de vida saludable como una gran estrategia para garantizarles un adecuado equilibrio sanitario que les posibilite incrementar sus niveles de calidad de vida.Palabras clave: Equilibrio sanitario, deterioro cognitivo, personas mayores, programas y actividades físicas y deportivas, hábitos de vida saludable, calidad de vida.

Background and objectives: Acquired brain injury (ABI) is the first cause of disability and physical activity (PA) is a key element in functional recovery and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) during the subacute and chronic phases. However, it is necessary to develop PA programs that respond to the heterogeneity and needs of this population. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a PA program on the HRQoL in this population. Materials and Methods: With regard to recruitment, after baseline evaluations, participants were assigned to either the intervention group (IG, n = 38) or the control group (CG, n = 35). Functional capacity, mood, quality of life and depression were measured pre- and post-intervention. The IG underwent the “Physical Activity and Sport for Acquired Brain Injury” (PASABI) program, which was designed to improve HRQoL (1-h sessions, two to four sessions/week for 18 weeks). The CG underwent a standard rehabilitation program without PA. Results: Results for the IG indicated significant differences and large effect sizes for the physical and mental dimensions of quality of life, as well as mood and functional capacity, indicating an increase in HRQoL. No significant differences were found for the CG across any variables. Conclusions: The PASABI program was feasible and beneficial for improving physiological and functionality variables in the IG. The wide range of the activities of the PASABI program allow its application to a large number of people with ABI, promoting health through PA, especially in the chronic phase.

BACKGROUND: The health-related quality of life construct (QoL) implies a relationship with eating habits (EA) and physical activity (PA). Sociodemographic and anthropometric variables (gender, age and Body Mass Index - BMI) are highlighted in the definition of healthy lifestyle habits promotion strategies. OBJECTIVE: We aim to characterize and relate PA, EA and QoL in children/youth and explore gender, age and BMI influences. METHODS: It is a non-experimental study, with 337 children/youth, ages between 8 and 17 years (12.61±2.96), mostly from the rural inland of Portugal. In data collection we used a sociodemographic and anthropometric questionnaire, a weekly register table of EA and Kid-Kindl (QoL). Statistical analysis (p <  0.05) were performed in SPSS-IBM 25. RESULTS: Lower BMI was associated with better EA (p <  0.001), PA (p <  0.05) and self-esteem (p <  0.01) and worse scores on family subscale of QoL. Female showed higher fruit intake (p <  0.05). The older has shown better results. PA is positively correlated with QoL (p <  0.01) and EA (p <  0.05). CONCLUSIONS: It is important to explore other relevant social and family dimensions, to promote intervention programs with parents, school and community, as well as healthy practices policies. The intervention in these age groups is critical for a longer-term impact in improving healthy life habits.

La Educación física tiene una relación directa con cuatro de las nueve dimensiones que componen la Calidad de Vida (Eurostat, 2013): salud, educación, ocio y relaciones sociales y bienestar subjetivo. La Educación física aparece como un elemento fundamental para indicadores importantes en la medición de la calidad de vida, de presente y de futuro. Y es que la Educación física puede proporcionar una socialización adecuada en hábitos saludables, patrones de conducta relacionales y mejor autopercepción del bienestar a niños y jóvenes que no son “objetos” de estudio, sino sujetos activos y participantes, como nos plantea la nueva sociología de la infancia. La nueva sociología de la infancia es una subdisciplina de la sociología (de la educación física y del deporte) que estudia la realidad holística de la vida de los niños y jóvenes. En este sentido, también analiza elementos fundamentales de su calidad de vida presente, en relación con ellos mismos. La metodología mixta es una opción global y completa que se presenta como opción muy adecuada en diversos tipos de investigaciones que aúnan salud, educación y aspectos sociales y culturales. Las conclusiones muestran cómo desde la Educación Física y mediante la metodología mixta (encuestas, entrevistas, grupos de discusión, etnografía e investigación-acción), se puede analizar de manera más completa algunos de los indicadores de calidad de vida entre niños y jóvenes, en relación con ellos mismos y en planteamientos intergeneracionales, de presente (de los propios niños y jóvenes “aquí y ahora”) y de futuro (cuestiones estructurales de base socioeducativa).Abstract: Physical Education has a direct relationship with four of the nine dimensions that constitute Quality of life (Eurostat, 2013): health, education, leisure and social relationships, and personal welfare. The New Sociology of Childhood is a sub-discipline of Sociology (of Physical Education) that explores children’s and young people’s life in a holistically manner. Physical Education appears as a fundamental element for measuring quality of life. Thus, Physical Education can provide children and youth with positive socialization into healthy habits, relational patterns and better self-perception of welfare: they are not 'objects' of research, but they are active “subjects”. In this sense, this sub-discipline also analyses key elements of quality of life as well as it studies their relation with each other. Mixed methodology is a suitable methodology in different types of research about health, education and socio-cultural aspects. The outcomes show how Physical Education (through Mixed methodology: surveys, interviews, discussion groups, ethnography and action-research) can analyse children’s and youth’s indicators of quality of life, both in relation with each other and in intergenerational approaches, looking at the Present (children and young, "here and now") and at the Future (structural issues from socio-educational basis).

En España, la declaración del estado de alarma por la pandemia Covid-19, supuso que entre el 14 de marzo y el 2 de mayo de 2020, 47 millones de habitantes estuvieran confinados y sólo pudieran salir a cubrir necesidades básicas. Ante este hecho es oportuno analizar su impacto sobre la salud, tomando en consideración cómo afectó a la práctica de la actividad física. Se administró un cuestionario ad hoc. Los participantes fueron 1046 personas (hombre 48.57% y mujer 51.43%) y con una edad media de 40 (± DT 13.35 años). Respecto a la práctica de actividad física, destaca una significativa disminución de intensidad y cantidad (p < .001), y una modificación del tipo de actividad física realizada, pasando de deportes cardiovasculares y de aptitud muscular a prácticas de gimnasias suaves y flexibilidad. Aumentó el porcentaje total de personas que no realizaron nada de actividad física. Aun disponiendo de más tiempo libre, las personas en situación de ERTE, disminuyeron significativamente su cantidad de actividad física realizada (p < .001). Estos resultados permiten concluir que el confinamiento supuso una modificación de hábitos de práctica de actividad física, una disminución de los valores recomendados como saludables, lo que conllevó implicaciones sobre la salud y la calidad de vida. Se ofrece información que ayudará a entender estos nuevos comportamientos y que facilitará a los gestores estrategias innovadoras para activar la vuelta a niveles anteriores de actividad física, su incremento y, en definitiva, la reactivación del sector deportivo.  Abstract: In Spain, the declaration of the state of alarm due to the Covid-19 pandemic, meant that between 14th of March and 2nd of May 2020, 47 million inhabitants were confined at home and could only go out to cover basic needs. This unprecedented event has led to a paradigm shift, and it is appropriate to analyze its impact on health, considering how it has affected the practice of physical activity. An ad hoc questionnaire was administered. The participants were 1046 people (48.57% male and 51.43% female) and the average age of 40 (± DT 13.35 years). Regarding the practice of physical activity, a significant decrease in intensity and quantity stands out (p < .001), and a modification of the type of physical activity performed, going from cardiovascular sports and muscular fitness to soft gymnastics and flexibility practices. The total percentage of people who did no physical activity at all, increased. In addition, although more free time was available, people in ERTE situation significantly decreased their amount of physical activity performed (p < .001). These results allow us to conclude that confinement has meant a modification of physical activity practice habits and a decrease in the recommended values ​​of healthy healthy, and therefore has had implications on health and quality of life. This information will help to understand these new behaviors in order for managers to implement innovative strategies to reactivate the return to previous levels of physical activity, its increase and, in short, the reactivation of the sports sector.

Abstract Background Fatigue is among the most prevalent symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS), and significantly detrimental to mental quality of life. We examined the role of depression and physical activity as mediators in the fatigue-QoL relationship in MS. Methods Using an international study cohort measuring a wide range of lifestyle and clinical factors, determinants of fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale) and mental quality of life (MSQoL-54; QoL) were assessed in 2,104 participants using log-binomial and linear regression, respectively. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to assess the mediating role of depression and physical activity between fatigue and mental QoL. Results The median mental QoL score in the sample was 73.8/100. The mean fatigue score was 40.5/63, with 65.6% having clinically significant fatigue. In SEM analyses evaluating depression as a mediator of the fatigue-QoL relationship, mental QoL was 14.17-points lower in those with clinically significant fatigue, of which the indirect effect via depression accounted for over 30.8% (p &lt; 0.001). This mediation effect was most pronounced for the Role Limitations from Emotional Issues (44.9%, p &lt; 0.001) and Emotional Wellbeing (41.6%, p &lt; 0.001) subdomains. Evaluating physical activity as a mediator of the fatigue-QoL relationship, mental QoL was 11.03-points lower in those with clinically significant fatigue, of which the indirect effect via physical activity accounted for only 1.0% (p = 0.001). Conclusions This study provides evidence that depression accounts for a majority of the fatigue-mental QoL relationship, while physical activity only plays a small role. While replication and longitudinal studies are required for validation, our findings may inform the development of treatments for reducing the impacts of fatigue and improving QoL in people with MS. Key messages Fatigue’s negative impact on emotional quality of life in multiple sclerosis is not a function of reduced ambulation but instead its impact on depression. Reducing depression may thus markedly improve quality of life in this population.

El propósito de esta investigación fue analizar el conocimiento conceptual sobre hábitos saludables mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario. Participaron en la investigación 1163 alumnos (610 chicos y 553 chicas) de Educación Primaria. El cuestionario constó de 57 preguntas agrupadas en ocho bloques. Los resultados indican que el alumnado posee un nivel de conocimientos sobre hábitos saludables por encima del aprobado, destacando en las dimensiones “Higiene corporal” (M 87.22 DS 17.41) y “Hábitos alimenticios” (M 81.60 DS 10.30). Sin embargo, las dimensiones con menor puntuación son “Condición Física” (M 34.24 DS 23.02) y “Prevención de accidentes y conocimiento de primeros auxilios” (M 38.72 DS 24.18), por lo que sería conveniente incluir más programas para su mejora. Además, se constatan diferencias altamente significativas (p<0.01) a partir de tres horas dedicadas a la actividad física. Se establece una relación positiva entre la práctica de la actividad física y el conocimiento de los hábitos de salud para la mejora de la calidad de vida en los estudiantes. === The objective of this investigation was to analyze the conceptual knowledge with regards to healthy habits using a questionnaire method. 1163 pupils participated in the investigation (610 boys and 553 girls) from Primary Education. The questionnaire included 57 questions, which were grouped into eight blocks. The results indicate that pupils have a higher than average knowledge of health habits, particularly in the areas of “Personal hygiene” (M 87.22 SD 17.41) and “Eating habits” (M 81.60 SD 10.30). However, the areas with the lowest scores are “Physical condition” (M 34.24 SD 23.02) and “Accident prevention and first aid knowledge” (M 38.72 SD 24.18), so it would be necessary to include more programs to improve such areas. Furthermore, highly significant differences (p<0.01) can be found from three hours dedicated to physical activity. A positive relationship is established between physical activity and knowledge of health habits to improve the quality of life of school children.
