Introduction: Selection of optimal nutrition for physical activity of sportsmen depends on several factors, and includes the type and duration of exercises, total energy consumption, time needed for recovery, andnutritional preferences. Proper nutrition of sportsmen relies on adequate combination and participation of all the macronutrients. The aim of this research was to analyse and determine the nutritional awareness andhabits of sportsmen depending on their age and type of sports they indulge.Methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study undertaken from May to July 2011 on the sample of 100 examinees/sportsmen of the Football Club “Željezničar“ and Basketball Club “Bosna“.Results: General awareness of sportsmen on basic principles of proper nutrition is unsatisfactory. Statisticalsignificance per type of sport and age of sportsmen is proved through representation of macronutrients in their nutrition. For 49.1% footballers and 52% sportsmen over 19 years of age the most important combinationof macronutrients resembles the model of carbohydrates-proteins-fats, while 48.9% of basketballers and sportsmen under 18 prefer proteins-carbohydrates-fats. The study had shown a statistically significantdifference (p=0.01) between the footballers and basketballers with regard to the type of meal they consume before the trainings.Conclusion: Insufficient knowledge on the subject reflects in bad nutritional habits, especially those related to the number and arrangement of daily meals in comparison to respective sports activities.

Introduction: Stroke is a major cause of death and mortality worldwide. The sedentary lifestyle is a modifiable risk factor and the regular practice of physical activity can reduce the recurrence of stroke and its symptoms. Objective: To characterize the level of physical activity of post-stroke patients before and after the event. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional, analytical study. The population of the study consisted of patients diagnosed with stroke, in the chronic phase under treatment or that have already been discharged from the Physiotherapy School Clinic of FACISA in Santa Cruz-RN. The individuals were evaluated by the Modified Baecker Questionnaire for the Elderly (QBMI) that classifies the level of physical activity in: sedentary (-9), active (9 to 16), and athletes (+16). The normality of the variables was verified by the Shapiro-Wilk test. Wilcoxon’s test was used for comparative analysis of QBMI before and after stroke. Results: Nineteen patients participated (8 male and 11 female) with a mean age of 63 years, of these, 11 had systemic hypertension. Before, 3 were classified as sedentary (score mean: 5.34), 5 active (score mean: 12.254) and 1 athlete ( score mean: 27.04). After the stroke, 18 were classified as sedentary (score mean: 1.46) (p=0.001). Conclusion: There was a reduction in the participants’ level of physical activity, showing greater sedentariness after stroke, although physical activity is essential for secondary prevention of stroke.

AbstractTo evaluate the possibilities of physical activity in developing inmates’ healthy lifestyle and social skills. The research, which was conducted in 2009 in Pravieniskes First and Second Correction Houses, was local and cross-sectional using a written questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of four groups of questions/statements: I — demographic questions; II — questions/statements about inmates’ physical (sports) activities (was created for this study) and III — assessment of inmates’ social skills. And IV — assessment of inmates’ self esteem. Sufficiently physically active inmates (n=185) comprised 57.8 percent of the total number of respondents. Inmates’ physical activity statistically significantly (p<0.05) correlates with their younger age. Secondary education is prevailing in the group of physically active inmates, while primary — lower secondary education predominates in the group of physically inactive inmates (n=135). Only less than 6 percent of inmates have higher education. The average age of physically active inmates is statistically significantly lower than that of physically inactive inmates, 26 and 31.6 years respectively (p=0.01). The analysis of inmates’ contentment with their psychological state and satisfaction with health care services, food quality, and conditions for sports activities showed that physically active inmates are more critical about these factors than physically inactive inmates. Only the contentment with psychological state in physically active inmates is statistically significantly higher than in inactive inmates. Out of eleven social skills assessed in the study, only two skills (ability to initiate conversation with a stranger and sense of responsibility) are statistically significant (p<0.05). The probability that the convicts who have a strong sense of responsibility tend to be more physically active than the inmates who do not consider themselves responsible is 7.4 times higher. The study results showed that self-esteem in physically active inmates is statistically significantly higher that in physically inactive inmates (p=0.033). Low self-esteem was not determined in any inmates.

Los objetivos del estudio son comparar los niveles de adiposidad corporal expresado por medio de Índice de Masa Corporal IMC y circunferencia de la cintura CC con la referencia americana del Centro para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades CDC-2012 y analizar si estos niveles de adiposidad corporal difieren entre los adolescentes, según categorías de actividad física AF. Se efectuó un estudio descriptivo transversal en 765 adolescentes (432 hombres y 333 mujeres). La selección de la muestra fue no-probabilística (cuotas). El rango de edad oscila de 10.0 a 18,9 años. Se evaluó el peso, la estatura, CC y se calculó el IMC. Se aplicó un cuestionario de AF. No hubo diferencias significativas de IMC y CC con la referencia del CDC-2012 en adolescentes de ambos sexos (p<0.05). Se observó prevalencia de bajo nivel AF (5,3% para hombres y 14,7% para mujeres), en moderada AF (47.7% en hombres y 63,4% mujeres) y con un elevada AF (47,0% en hombres y 21,9% en mujeres). Se observó relación positiva entre los IMC y CC en las tres categorías (bajo nivel: r= 0,94 hombres y r= 0,87 mujeres, moderado nivel: r= 0,87 hombres y r= 0,86 mujeres y elevado nivel de AF: r= 0,85 hombres y r= 0,63 mujeres). Los adolescentes estudiados reflejan similares patrones de adiposidad corporal que la referencia del CDC-2012. Además, los clasificados con elevada AF, reflejaron menor adiposidad abdominal que las demás categorías de AF.Abstract. The objectives of the study were to compare body adiposity levels expressed by means of Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with the American reference of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC-2012); and to analyze whether these body adiposity levels differ among adolescents by physical activity categories. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out with 765 adolescents (432 boys and 333 girls). The selection of the sample was non-probabilistic (quotas). We included 4 schools from the city of Talca, Chile. The age interval ranged from 10.0 to 18.9 years old. Weight, height, and WC were evaluated, and BMI was calculated. A PA questionnaire was applied. There were no significant differences in BMI and WC with the reference of CDC-2012 in adolescents of both genders (p <0.05). Prevalence of low PA level was observed (5.3% for boys, and 14.7% for girls), as well as moderate PA level (47.7% in boys, and 63.4% girls) and high PA level (47,0% in boys, and 21.9% in girls). Positive relationship was found between the indicators of body adiposity (BMI and WC) in the three categories (low level: r = 0.94 boy, and r = 0.87 girls; moderate level: r = 0.87 boys, and r = 0.86 girls; and high level of PA: r = 0.85 boys, and r = 0.63 girls). The adolescents in this study reflect similar patterns of corporal adiposity as in the CDC-2012 for both genders. In addition, schoolchildren classified with high level of PA reflected lower abdominal adiposity than those in the other PA categories.

This paper highlights the findings of a comparative cross-sectional study in the cantons of Uri (UR) and Schwyz (SZ). In this study, participating in sports and daily physical activity among 5th grades were observed trough selected indicators. The study was conducted in autumn 2012 and 2013 and included a randomly selected sample of 161 pupils in Uri (10.6±0.7 year olds) and 261 pupils in the canton of Schwyz (10.7±0.7 year olds). In both regions, a high rate of participation in free time sports activities could be detected: 68.8% (UR) and 70.1% (SZ) of all the children involved are members of a sports club, with more than half of them, being active, both in and outside of sports club. The proportion of completely inactive children lies below 5%. Furthermore, exercise and sports are regarded as the most important free time activities (regardless of gender and nationality). The majority of children (UR: 73.4%; SZ: 91%) commuted actively to school, with a significantly higher proportion amongst pupils in the canton of Schwyz (p < 0.001) due to the shorter distances. In total, slightly more than the half of the children reached the official recommendations of at least 60 min. of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day. There was no association between the pedometer-based daily activity and the use of media.

The purpose of this analytical study was to synthesize existing evidence relating to the association of exercise or physical activity with academic burnout in students. Relevant articles were systematically and rigorously searched using ten research databases. Following screening for relevancy, ten studies (eight cross-sectional, one cohort, and one interventional) were selected to include for final synthesis. All of the cross-sectional studies had good or satisfactory quality ratings, and the cohort and interventional studies included in this review had moderate to strong quality ratings.  Six out of eight cross-sectional studies showed an inverse relationship of physical activity or exercise with academic burnout with the exception of two studies showed no significant associations. The cohort and interventional studies also demonstrated negative relationships of physical activity with academic burnout.  The findings are likely to provide some evidence that physical activity may be capable to reduce academic burnout in students.

The study aimed to analyze the association among adults daily physical activities and dietary patterns with central adiposity in the Gorontalo Regency, Indonesia. The study method was an observational with a cross-sectional design. Sampling technique used was purposive sampling, with a total participants of 319. The data of socio-demographic, anthropometric measurement, and physical activity were collected using Physical Activity Level (PAL). While food consumption data were obtained using the method of food frequency and recall 2 x 24 hours. Subjects studied were females (77.7%) and males (22.3%), abdominal circumference for men subjects 82.3 ± 14.6 cm and 84.7 ± 12.4 cm for women, the mean physical activity level on weekdays 1.54 ± 0.2 and holidays 1.53 ± 0.1. Energy intake was higher in respondents with normal nutritional status than subjects with central obesity but did not differ significant between the subject study. In protein intake, there was a significant difference between the subject study, which is, the consumption of protein was higher in subjects with normal nutritional status (97.93 gr) compared to the subjects with central obesity (96.24 gr). Food groups with frequent scores, above 0.43 were rice, fresh fish, kale, tomato, chili, coconut oil, and palm oil. There was association between physical activity and central obesity (p-value 0.027). Eating habits included frequency of staple foods, animal-based protein, plant-based protein, vegetables, fruit, oil, and beverage groups showed no significant association with central obesity. There was an association between central obesity with physical activity but no association with dietary patterns.

The Subject

Introduction: Anger has been defined in many ways from “a negative, phenomenological (or internal) feeling state” to “a basic emotion in which the function is to provide the organism with motivated capacities to overcome obstacles”. Anger has been the subject of many discourses and its vehemence in many religions and cultures. The study aimed to determine the ability of anger management among different gender and factors associated with anger management. Methods: This is a cross-sectional prospective study. The validated ‘Quality of Life’ questionnaire from University of Washington, Seattle Washington, United Sates of America and Novaco Anger Scale from Mental Health America of Northern Kentucky & Southwest Ohio (WHOQOL-BREF) were used for students’ perception on anger management. Quantitative data were analyzed using Epi Info Version. 7 Software. Results: The total of 358 students participated in this study. There is a significant association between anger management among different ethnicity. Conclusion: Gender was not a significant factor in anger management, it was probably due to equal opportunity among male and female in acquiring education, application for scholarships and usage of education facilities. Gender equality had a big impact in enhancing the good anger management properties.
